    After recording this, I watched more videos of Danny Carey playing it, and I realized that I didn't play a flam in the main tom groove. I have to be honest, that really bugs me. How did I not pick up on the flam?? :-)

    Drums sound phenomenal!! Snare was a touch too loud and although it never drowned out everything else, it was still a touch too loud in my opinion (which I was never asked my opinion so it doesn’t even matter). But the tone, pitch, and tune of the drums were just phenomenal.
    I find sometimes people build kits and never make sure their cymbals sound good not only together but sound good with the kit itself. Whether they get muddy sounding cymbals or crisp or studio cymbals or stage or whatever, they don’t mesh with the whole kit and sound outta place. Your cymbals are spot on for your kit. Great setup.
    The mic system for this video has top quality sound! Crystal clear with no muddying of the kit components. Highs of the snare and cymbals were perfect and crisp, mids of the snare and toms were perfect, and low end and resonation of the toms and kick drum gave me wood. Great sound. I noticed your left beater laid against the head when not used so I’d say I’d like to have seen two kick drums, but we all know the trouble (uuhhh I mean fun) of perfecting two kick drums to sound like one drum and then micing them up perfectly to sound like one drum is.
    Great work on your chops from one of the greatest drummers in music history. He’s not an easy act to mimic. I wish I could mimic him at this level.
    Having just watched it 3 times in a row I can say I thoroughly enjoyed this video!! Easily a twelve out of ten stars type of video. I’ll definitely be looking into more of your stuff.

      @Ryandal Gilmore well, I’m a subscriber for reason. You’re a superbly capable drummer and love your Danny Carey covers both drums only and the play-alongs. You got the snare right without the snares engaged like Danny does. I love that attention to details. I’ve watched and liked a bunch of your videos and plan on watching more in the future. Keep up the great work.

      robvancram Glad to hear it, and yeah, trying to follow through that middle part without the original track would be impossible. I think it's amazing that Tool recorded these incredible complex songs without any click tracks. They just sat together in the studio and played the songs straight through.

    • @johnkew
      @johnkew 8 років тому +1

      Poisonjam7 I'm just playing single strokes, but after recording, I watched the live versions of Danny playing more closely, and he uses a flam on the second group of accents. I'm bummed that I missed that detail before recording it. But overall, I'm happy with the recording.

    • @Poisonjam7
      @Poisonjam7 8 років тому

      +johnkew don't beat yourself up over missing that flam, it doesn't detract from the performance as a whole. I thought maybe it was paradiddles he was doing, but I'm relieved to know it's just singles.
