- Mantra just started a channel! Give them a follow. / @themantraband
A more drum-focused recording was just posted at • Teenage drummer covers...
The band can be followed at @the.mantra.band on Instagram.
They're just getting started so they don't have a ton of things posted. But they've heard your positive feedback loud and clear and will be doing a lot more this summer...stay tuned! - Розваги
Mantra (the band) has a new UA-cam channel. Let's give them some support. www.youtube.com/@themantraband
A lot of folks have asked for MORE DRUMS. Here's a new recording on my son's channel: ua-cam.com/video/ZQXGJfw2tK8/v-deo.htmlsi=52LzSG6CQ6FHu89s
Thanks again to everyone viewing and posting positive comments - and I include in that any constructive critiques or feedback...all of that is welcome. You guys are restoring my hope for humanity!
This was excellent. Is there more context to this performance? Was it indeed a high school talent show or similar? The only timing issues I heard were most likely related to the lack of a decent mic/monitor setup. I know when I played in school events, it was a lot of work to get any decent sound and trust someone to make sure mics were on. That was mainly with simple songs.
It takes a lot of talent to pull off something this complex with what looks like minimal audio support…and to keep going and get back in sync with each other without stopping.
@@kylefolger This was a quarterly performance night at a public high school for students enrolled in the guitar class. It's not a competition. These guys have done this a few times now (you'll find more of their performances on my channel). The support staff is very limited and there's really no sound engineering...students just walk onto the stage, plug in, and start playing. Thanks for the positive response and feedback. These guys only rehearsed about 4-5 times on this song, which explains the handful of hiccups they had during the performance....I'm actually shocked they did as well as they did with so few practice sessions together.
Even more impressive! Each one put a ton of time to learn their parts to make this so on point and perfected!
The audience doesn't understand how difficult this song is.
I am sure the audience doesn't even know what this song is..
100%
do u think it's really that hard? ACTUALLY THE DRUMMER IS THE START OF THE BAND
@@brathzogo watch drumeo's recent video with mike portnoy playing this song. You will grasp how difficult it is then, especially as the drummer
I didn’t either until I saw Portnoy learning it with the Drumeo guys 😅
My brother is the drummer! He's insanely good! Very proud of him
He's incredible! He's got a great road ahead of him if he keeps it up!
I watched Mike Potnroy, the drummer for Dream Theater (and one of the best drummers in the world) struggle with this song and the fact that your brother was able to rock this, shows he's got chops.
You should be hes amazing.
The fact that he played that speaks volumes. Amazing
Yeah, one of the hardest songs to jam in.
Mike Portnoy: "This is not a song, it's a mathematical equation
Kids: "Hold our yoo hoo"
portnoy got brain blazed by this song on drumeo it was awesome!!! lollololol
@@Kevin-ju1kb "why did you give me this shit"
"because you can play everything"
@@D4u2s0t ololololoolollolol
Thumbs up for the drummer. A harder job then trying to duplicate Maynard's voxals.
Yes on drumeo
my brother is the guitarist!! so proud of him!
He rocks!
He's faultless! We need to get them properly mic'd up!
Great job👌🇳🇱
You should be!! He did a great job
Your brother is awesome dude, that was super impressive
"Next up, we have little timmy playing hot cross buns on the bongos"
almost spit out my coffee...LOL.
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣... Oh my aching sides. This comment had me in tears🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆
😂😂😂😂 gold!
90% of teen rock bands do Smoke on the water, this band took on one of the most complex songs and nailed it. Kudo's!!!
Or teen spirit (including me)
my greatest memory is performing Bleak by Opeth at a school event lol. Of course we sucked but it was fun.
@@petelimppu😂
Nailed it? I mean.... No. They did okay, but they absolutely did not nail it. I guess I'm curious what your definition of "nailing it" would be. Because objectively, I give it a 6.5 to 7 out of 10. Still very impressive in its own right, but not a perfect rendition by any means. That being said, I'm sure they were the most talented act at this high school talent show (or whatever it was) that day.
@@AxelordSMIJES By nailed it, I meant actually pulled it off, not a perfect rendition. Mike Portnoy just did it on Drumeo and not even he could do a perfect rendition. Given that Tool had over 10 years to construct this masterpiece my intent of nailed it in this context is subjective.
my brother is the microphone!! so proud of him!
Not enough flowers in these comments for your brother. He performed well!
Lol
My cat is the speaker
my proud is a brother. So him of drum.
Are you shure?
People- don’t neglect that guitarist. Perfect timing & use of effects in a flawless performance.
A Strat on Tool is blasphemy!
@@scooterss2112not everyone has several guitars to choose from for each performance
@@scooterss2112 he's just a kid my man he's not a signed artist to choose whatever guitar he wants, I think that's pretty obvious isn't it? Don't just criticize shit for the sake of flashing your awesome opinion, it looks silly
@@scooterss2112 Yeah, we all know one should play tool on a jazzmaster, at the very least a mosrite. Those strat kids... /J
Same with bass player. Proper delay. All very tight
Those drums... Danny would be proud.
Especially considering he did it with a third of the drum set Danny uses
and mike portnoy
@@mateoes207 Someone has been watching Drumeo. 🙂
@@mateoes207 Yup. I watched Portnoy trying to to Danny Carey...Portnoy was freaking lol
@@DoktorDamageyesss that drumeo video was great
I don't care if it is perfect or not. Seeing kids playing tool nowadays is a giant bless 🤘🏼
Hell, finding your place in that song after getting off rhythm is probably harder than not getting lost in the first place.
Truth
That music stand is my skinny cousin……….who cares?
@@BrianSmith-bk4dq I care about your skinny cousin. And BrianSmith, I believe in YOU👊
I bet there are some very impressed teachers who grew up on Tool watching proudly.
Oh you know it 🤘
The drummer is my ex wife’s new husband. I’m super proud of him.
Underrated comment hahah.
lmfao
😂😂😂
lol, so good😂
Ask me if i carey dana
At least 50% of folks who see this will grosly underestimate just how difficult this is. Whoever is drumming is executing the time signatures impressively. Hats off
I'd say it's more like 90% of people that just don't grasp how challenging this is. Fantastic.
@@jpgonzalezarb yeah because prog (mostly) only gets appreciated by musicians. to non musicians it seems like random gibberish
Try 99
Just saw a video of Mike Portnoy learning this. Respect to the young musicians here.
Ummm...this is literally one of the hardest songs to understand on the drums...drummer is going places
That's what I'm saying. I can't get over it.
each of them must understand the song in order to perform their parts
@@stanpopovskyabsolutely. Every member has to be talented to play this together, but the drummer has to be a human octopus with an internal calculator. This song is insanely hard on drums.
Not a single person in attendance knows how much the drum sections of this song take to practice...
This is absolutely insane, even for grown ass musicians...
Much respect.
The kid on the guitar nailed the tone. Much respect
This is one of those rare videos of "teens doing a cover" that didn't suck. Like, at all. Let's get some drum mics and get some more videos of this crew!
If it's taken you this long to find one good teens covering a song video you haven't seen very much youtube.
@@blakfloyd agreed, there's even good "teens performing originals" videos out there too (cough cough time machine modulus cough cough)
Agreed.
Search 46&2 by O'Keefe foundation, and better, ALL the cover by the O'Keefe foundation
Deadass.
The drummer makes it look so effortless, when a song like this is about as easy as juggling chainsaws while riding a unicycle on a pogo stick. Major kudos dude.
😂😂😂✨👌✨
lol so true
I can't hear the drums enough to tell if she's playing it like Danny. 🙄
Mike Portnoy learning this on Drumeo was a fun watch!
@@joelschama1735 pretty sure that "she" is a he, lol...might need to turn up whatever you were watching this on, I could hear the drums just fine.
My faith in the younger generation just went up 10 fold. Good job lil homies!
Everyone did absolutely fantastic, I would have absolutely lost my MIND if this happened in front of me. Everyone's already praised the drummer, but special props to the vocalist, did a great job channeling Maynard imo
dude for real i have never seen anyone do maynard justice like this!!!!! i would have been standing on TOP of my chair fanboy screaming during this show
Man, this young drummer just NAILED IT.
As an older drummer, I tip my hat to this young man.
You just KILLED IT, bro!!
Thanks for the positive comment. I'm the drummer's dad (an older drummer myself) - he's picked all of this up so fast, and all on his own...it blows my mind.
When I saw the title of the video...I'm like yeah right! No way a bunch of teenagers are gonna be able to even keep up with Danny's playing. Wow, very surprised he was able to do that with a kit way smaller than Danny plays. Very cool, such a great song to even try to play and the drummer did a hell of a job!
TOTALLY!
@@DrGsVidz Wow, this is amazing! You have a very talented kid! Getting this all by himself is awesome! I definitely hope Danny himself come across this video someday to see his performance, it was beautiful to watch!
Congratulations for your son, wishing all the best to you and him!! Cheers!
EDIT: Typos.
Portnoy of all people had a hard time getting this down. Kudos to your son for what must have been some major work plus a bunch of natural talent.
Mind blowing, I'm sure people have no idea how difficult it is to play this song.
How difficult can it be? I mean, drums do not hit back!
;)
@@u.v.s.5583 It’s not that hard after a few listens, I’m only 14 and I’ve got it down about as good as you can get it with Danny’s exact setup
All parts done very well!
Just watched the drumeo video of Mike Portnoy struggling to learn this song for hours, constantly swearing all the way through, then I get recommended this 😂
@@tiarkrezar same ) f**ng mathematical equation )))
I’m actually shocked 😳
This audience doesn’t get it, but Tool fans will. That drummer is going places 🤯
Danny Carey would be proud!
Thanks for the support and encouraging comment!
It’s not everyday that you get to see teen Legolas absolutely shred one of the hardest drum compositions ever… Freaking amazing!!!
If there is a Music Teacher in the room , please , give this guys the entire semester a pass and straing A+, people know what i'm talking about.
100%
Mike Portnoy approves this!
Mike wished he could have played it this well lol.
To be fair this kid has probably practiced this for months and months. Not 5.5 hours.
I see the algorithm brought you guys here too after watching that video LOL
@@marcmann982 Well live performances of Pneuma were already on my frequently viewed list so there’s that…
I recommend watching the live performance of Pneuma uploaded by user Tony Pook (Titled: “Tool Pneuma live NJ AMAZING”).
Best live footage of tool I’ve ever seen. Recorded using HD spyglasses and a condenser mic. Sooo good.
Hahaha nice
@@marcmann982 true men of culture reunited xD
I really hope TOOL sees this. This was an amazing performance!
Drummer absolutely killed it, the fact that followed poly rhythm so well blew my mind
Blows my mind too!
The average person has NO IDEA how hard this song is.
Props to these kids for nailing the performance.
If you want, please give them a follow on IG @the.mantra.band where they'll be posting more this summer.
Theres nothing remotely difficult about this song other than staying awake.
@nicolesmrekar2046 you are clearly not a musician 😂.
@nicolesmrekar2046 goes with what the op said the average person has no idea. Unless you have a cover of this when you're falling asleep I'd like to see how good the video is
@@nicolesmrekar2046what’s difficult is figuring out if you are trans or just a woman that looks like a man
The audience is like 'What just happened"? Most didn't realize this is an 11-minute masterpiece by the band Tool.
Most people in this generation are just focusing on pop music. Back in 2019, girls were shooketh when they found out that Tool was defeating Taylor Swift in the chart.
Yeah, I’m sure 90% of the crowd didn’t realize what was being played in front of them.
😂ein Fall lückenhafter kultureller Bildung😂
Blown away. This drummer is so young and playing polyrhythm like Danny Carey. Special talent.
everyone of you guys are special talents! cant wait to see what the future holds for you guys!
Actually, not polyrhthym, but in odd meter 5/8 with a triplet feel. I could be wrong.
@@TCvideo-vg3ku its polyrythm.
@@vhbcccuhvv8534 methinks anything is anything depending on your definition. peace
That's from Rosetta Stoned, in Pneuma is doing swis army triplets while both feet do quarter notes
This is one of the most difficult songs to learn on drums. He did exceptionally well!
This guy on the drums a teen?!! What?!!??! What are kids eating these days to play Tool and Danny Carey??!! This is crazy! I was just trying to get dressed every day and survive bullying at that age and they out here playing world class drums. Wild!
Your comment made his day...Danny Carey is one of his heroes.
We need to find out what kind of soda he drinks and buy a few cases of it, lol!
Practice followed by more practice and more…. then some odd meter exercises.
@@ulysses_grant oooh...'curveball'...he DOESN'T drink soda...he's a lemonade and black coffee guy (not at the same time) :)
@@DrGsVidz lemonade and coffee is a thing, maybe he should try them together
people dont know how hard it is to do a cover of this song let alone on live stage...talented young men 🤘🏻🔥 way to go
As soon as I opened this song, I jumped ahead to 6 mins, because everyone who's ever heard and understood this song knows the drumming is nearly impossible. This whole song was done almost perfectly, by all memebers. They deserved the loudest standing ovation from this crowd.
Thanks on behalf of the band...they really appreciate the positive feedback.
Yes!!!!
Kudos guys, not everyone has the balls to perform this song live 🖤🤘💪
I wonder how many people realize how difficult it is to play this. The talent here is just incredible!
Thanks for being one who DOES recognize the challenge. It means a lot to these guys. Feel free to give them a follow on IG @the.mantra.band
For these 4 gents to find each-other in high-school is amazing and a gift!
Great observation! I agree.
As a musician with a very strong drum base, I am blown away! I think all of them killed it, but knowing Danny's part is sooooo complex, I bow to the drummer! Floating ovation! Standing is not enough!
Did anyone else over the age of 40 shed a tear seeing young guys rock like this😊
Hell yes!
56 yrs old. Been listening to tool for years and kids need this.
@@lealamb9713 yeah my dad actually introduced me to tool in 94 lol
These kids have some fortitude. Kid on drums did excellent. Send that kid to one of Dannys clinics. That audience did not know how to absorb that, lol.
I clicked on this thinking it might be funny to watch teenagers attempt to pull off this song. I quickly learned that you cant laugh when your jaw has dropped!! Amazing job by the entire band!! And big up to you all for having the stones to play this at a talent show, glad your audience showed appreciation for your work.
Thanks you for posting such an encouraging comment. Rest-assured that these boys have HIGH expectations...they cherish the work of their TOOL heroes and want to do these songs justice.
This is my 3rd or 4th night in a row to come back and watch this solid performance of these guys,they have certainly exceeded the level of doing this song justice, I hope they surpass all of their high expectations,they certainly appear to be off to an amazing and exciting start.
@@user-bw9zo9gw9x Love it! Thanks so much for sharing this. I keep telling these guys that they've "got it"...this confirms what I've been telling them.
Bass player nailed the tone, rhythms, timing, they ALL are phenoms! Keep it up, gents!
The guitarist does a superb job of recreating the tone & effect off the get-go. Vocalist reminds me of early Dredg, the song Triangle for reference
Criminally underrated band
wild to see a dredg reference here wtf lol i see it tho
@@Ryan-bj2vl I heard “Bug Eyes” playing in Walmart yesterday lol was random as hell
Yeah I'm a guitar player and he definitely nailed it.
I’ve seen a few other comments from people who also watched the Drumeo video of Mike Portnoy being asked to learn this song. And they all/we all seem to think the same thing: this band is awesome and this drummer is creepy-good for being so young!
This was incredible. Just incredible.
If only there were a music industry to give these kids a chance at success.
😂. This is the new music industry.
Totally. Saw the same video last night and he was a little scarred haha
My brother is the chair. So proud of him!...but seriously kudos to the drummer
Totally blown away by his contribution. You should be proud. Tell him to keep doing what he's doing! :)
This is the most insane performance I've seen by any school band. That was awesome!
Imagine going through such immense training and practice to learn this song and then play it in front of kids that are hooked on Drake and Kendrick beef and Taylor Swift's new album that have no clue about this song, polyrhythms, math in general, and Tool.
I was thinking the same 90% of them probably have no clue what's happening
The guts it takes to get up there and even attempt this song, never mind actually pull it off. Hats off to all band members, and an extra shout out to the dummer, being a drummer myself of 30+ years, phenomenal job!
Good attempt guys! 👍. Just remember the time signature of this song is ... 5/4 to 6/4 . I just couldn't feel that happening. The bassist and the drummer should feel and count this. All respect to you! 💪
With youth like that, there is hope for Humanity! ❤
camera person +1 for knowing the track and when to pan / zoom
I just watched Mike portnoy struggle to learn and play this song. Just wow!
Same here. Cool it's trending.
Another perspective on Mike's Drumeo performance - he struggled, but what he came up with in 5 hours was really good. The drummer you are watching in this video has been working on Pneuma for over a year.
I'm impressed what he did with a relatively simple kit accessible to a hs kid. Captured the spirit and tone really well with limited tool set
Portnoy had to come up with parts, not learn Danny’s. But yes, still insanely difficult and this kid kicks ass.
As a drummer and a fan of tool - this is just ridiculously so good. Drummer got hosed in this mix.
Proper mics and mixing is priority #1 for the next year
I think he was mic’ed. Maybe a kick and snare mic.
@@dfisk79I don't see a stand or cable for the kick drum. Unless he's got it triggered somehow, I don't think the drums are mic'd at all. Not uncommon for school performances.
Holy stepping it up a notch at the talent shows nowadays aren't we... a guy played a kazoo back in my day.👍
This is way more impressive than most people realise. Great work to these kids. I hope the band sees it and comments.
Thanks for such an encouraging comment!
Great stuff! In my generation it was RUSH. That is what the local kids would play to impress everyone. Now it’s Tool. Very cool.
I’m actually the drummer from the video (gonna have to make a new channel to start posting), but we’ve actually been playing some Rush as well! Our favorite to play at the moment is La Villa Strangiato!
@@musicalwarrior9079 very cool, you did a great job.
@@musicalwarrior9079 not sure how the audience reacted, but hopefully you have been enjoying the comments and praise in this video. You did a phenomenal job. And it's clear your dad is so very proud of you and loves you. Great work
@@musicalwarrior9079yess dude, please make a channel
Holy shit, that drummer absolutely NAILED it, wow wow wow as a drummer of 30+ years this song even scares me to play it & these kids played it a a school talent show, I’ll tell you what, if it was a competition they better have come first, because that was truly AMAZING, well done to everyone in the band, keep it up guys & you’ll be touring around the world, maybe even as the opening band for Tool & I just have to say one more time, that drummer is friggen WICKED 🤘😝🤘
It's a breath of fresh air to see the younger generation getting after it like this! Great job, guys! This is not a song you just "do". Props to you guys! Side note to the drummer...pulling off a Danny Carey set is a next level accomplishment! Keep it up!
FOR THESE KIDS TO EVEN ATTEMPT THIS SONG IS PRAISEWORTHY AND THEY KILLED IT!!!! AMAZING!! WELL DONE PARENTS, TEACHERS AND YOUNG DUDES.... IM BLOWN AWAY!
Holy Crap! The stones to do this at a high school talent show! And to rock it!! Great job all around!
Drummer did an excellent job, but that kid on guitar stole the show for me. His tones, timing, were perfect! ❤🤘🍻
Whoop! Class of 2006 here...if grad school counts :) !
Interesting 🤔. I'm a guitar player, and definitely agree he was flawless. But that drumming is SO complex. There just aren't many people who can keep that polyrhythmic timing no matter how much they practice. But the reality is they were all impressive and should be proud.
Class of 2020! Gig em'
@@mybluguitar6051 👍
can we get some appreciation for the bass as well? flawless performance and sounded spot on to the song.
I expected a bigger applause! That song is insane and they killed it!
That drummer kid is gonna go places Danny’s drumming is so hard to replicate and he add the time signatures down almost perfectly
Wow, dude on drums killed it. My man on guitar also Slayed.
You guys are legends! Maynard and the boys would be proud! Especially Danny! If only the crowd could comprehend the beauty and difficulty of what he just did! Major props baby octopus! 😎
no doubt the drummer is going places but lets recognize the other kids too! the timing between all of them is impeccable. incredible!
I have been a musician for over 40 years and these kids did an amazing job covering this song which is no easy task, well done. 👌🏼
Thanks for the encouraging feedback. These guys will be posting updates on IG @the.mantra.band
They kept time surprisingly well for being a live show. They crushed it
feel free to check them out...they'll be posting more this summer on IG @the.mantra.band
This is one of the hardest songs to drum. It literally is a math sequence. Props to the kid drumming, and the other bandmates. Nice work kids.
"next we've got jimmy and his band the seven colors of the rainbow with their cover of seven nation army"
LOL
Now i understand why Maynard stands in the back and in the shadows
That's exactly why. He says he can see what everyone is doing because it's so complex and Danny is a loud drummer. He only does it with tool. Not APC or puscifer.
Yeah, it’s because he really can’t sing very well anymore. The band has overshadowed Maynard’s vocals since Lateralus.
You kids all did great! Be proud of yourselves. Complicated piece!
That drummer is incredible. Great job to everyone
Wow! Great job guys. Such a HARD song. Everything about Tool is 🤯. Keep going!
Great job!
Focus is understood and so appreciated.
It's all about the attention to detail! Once again excellent job!
Damn! I am beyond impressed. As a gigantic Tool fan since their first days, I wish I could have been in this audience. Great job, Mantra! You guys earned a follower.
Summed up in one word "WOW"!!! That was absolutely ridiculously amazing!! Thank you for that! Definitely deserved a standing O that song is so difficult!!!
Dude….this was fucking incredible and the audience just gave them the most under whelming applause. This song is so hard to play. The drummer killed, the bass player killed, the guitar player killed, vocals killed. Amazing performance!
For the normal people is a weird exotic song. For musicians is a master peace!
Masterpiece is technically the correct way to spell it, but I really like Master Peace 😊 sounds like a Golden Age Superhero who uses zen to kick ass
WOW....i'm a guitar teacher, and a tool fan. I've actually watched this video 13 times now. Just fuckin amazing guys. Music in todays world often takes a backburner for one reason or another and that's a sad thing, young artist like yourselves are what we all need. Do NOT stop. Don't let this society erode your talent and obvious passion. Keep the fire going.
Thanks for posting such a kind, encouraging, and thoughtful response. These guys appreciate it.
for a bunch of teen agers you guys get mad respect from me, a fellow musician, for taking on one of the craziest TOOL songs ever written. GREATR JOB!!
the tone on that guitar is incredible, you’re all so talented!!
Superb performance....drummer was great as most people have said, but how about the guitarist, he played the parts of Adam Jones magnificently! Hardly a note missed. Vocalist and bassist were solid too, everyone did their job, well done guys.
the drummer is absolutely crazy. To do this so good and so chill, crazy
Thanks for the positive comment. Feel free to follow them on IG @the.mantra.band
My band really wanted to play a Tool song at my talent show. We were obsessed. But looking back, I wish we would’ve focused on something simpler that most everyone could enjoy and that better showed off our skills. But I think you guys did great 👍🏻
One of the most complex Drum arrangements ever recorded and this almost nailed it. Great job dude.
these kids slayed it. mad props for picking such a hard song to play! makes me feel really good to see stuff like this from my teenage years being appreciated by a new generation.
Yes yes, the drummer was amazing. I'm also impressed with the guitarist. He nailed Adam Jones' tone and style.
💯, he stole the show for me, which is hard, as the drummer killed it and Danny is the goat, but that guitarist was spot on...
Wow. The future of Rock n Roll is safe with these awesome musicians. Incredible cover gents. Keep it up.
Wow! Choosing THIS song!? Reach for the stars! Excellent job to everyone here. 🤟
These kids are already above and beyond their peers musically…great choice and performance. Well done lads.
This is absurdly amazing, wtf. This is absolutely mind blowing cover, everybody went crazy this is so cool to see, with only a few practices?? You done Tool proud and they would love this
WOW!!! This upcoming generation of young musicians are just incredible!! I hope the guys from Tool see this!! 🤟
This is amazing. It's bringing tears to my eyes.
Blown away! Amazing job done guys! You got a new fan. The future looks in safe hands with musicians like you
Amazing cover. Insanely impressive chops from all involved!
Wow, kudos to the whole band and the drummer in particular for nailing the time signatures! 🥁
Been playing for years and this has been one of my favs to play since its release, would so love to find people to play live with like this, tool is one of my all time fav bands
