    I will ask him three simple questions:
    1- How do you come up with your parts?
    2- How do you remember every hit and precision?
    3- Are you a robot from the future?

      Emanuel Costa If he is a robot from the future (which he is), then the answers are easy: 1.) He sees them before they're ever created; 2.) He doesn't remember them--he sees them 30 seconds ahead; 3.) Yes

      Their singer has a very unique voice, and their drummer is literally hypnotic level good.
      Only a handful of drummers would even WANT to attempt this, they are legends though, Danny Carey from Tool, Gene Hoglan, etc, they are the only people who would be able to pull off and understand his style generally very quickly.
      The singer on the other hand is a completely different ball park, IDK if its an accent or what it is, but his voice is VERY unique, not the screaming, the actual singing portions, a great example of this is "Clocks" by Oceans Ate Alaska.
      I feel like his voice really puts the music together well, if there was variance in his pitch, it would sound... different/bad in my opinion.
      TL;DR: Covering drums could be done by high end musicians, literally professionals, or those who often cover for other bands, etc. Singer on the other hand would be a pain in the damn a** to cover.

    0:35 - super fast snare fill with one hand! I'd struggle to play it that fast with two hands! How did you get so good at drums man.
