Tool - Lateralus - Johnkew Drum Cover

I've done a fair amount of Tool covers over the past few years, but there have been a few songs that I've really wanted to try, but have waited, for various reasons. Lateralus is one of my favorite songs, but I've held off recording it because the longer I listen and play along with Tool songs, the more I learn about Danny Carey's talent and style. Lateralus is one of those iconic songs that I really wanted to do justice. Looking back on some of my early videos, I had a lot of fun playing, but in hindsight, there were a lot of technical elements that I missed. I don't regret playing them, but I'm glad I've waited on this one.
I'm still nowhere near Carey's level of playing, but I think I understand enough of his techniques and style that I'm very happy with the combination of feeling and technique that this song requires. Regardless, once again I had a ton of fun trying to play along with one of Tool's arrangements, and I hope that this energy translates well through this video. By the end of the song, I felt like I had tunnel vision. Almost like a trance. I love that feeling, and it's one of the reasons why I keep playing the drums. I've never really captured that energy with anything else.
Hopefully I find some time to make a behind the scenes video about this song and recording. There is a lot of background that won't fit in this description box.
As always, thanks for watching, and for your feedback. And if you feel so inclined, please share.

Desperation Mixtape You're way off base here. What makes a good drummer is your opinion. In my opinion you don't need to be flailing and fast, or have to double bass the entire song. To me Danny Carey doesn't add any junk. Every beat has a purpose and he's extremely technical. His work is fun to listen to without the music in the background. Only The Rev, Ginger Baker, Bonham, and Carey stand alone.

I have a dream to have a place to play drums one day where I can learn to master such a song. My parents didn't have money when I was young so I didn't have a place to play the drums. I'm 29, busted my ass and I own my own apartment now. I'm working my way to owning a townhome so I can soundproof the shit out of one of the rooms and begin to play. I may never have the opportunity to make a career of it, but I'd be content just being able to play. It would make me the happiest guy in the world just to achieve this one dream of mine.

I like it because as a non-drummer I find it is so confusing and unusual but also weirdly satisfying. And you nailed it. I only have a rudimentary understanding of how drums work but I bet it must have been tricky to play. Kudos, keep spiralling out!

@michmyers73 4 жыл бұрын

This part of the song is insanely, difficult, I agree with your words every one bit, essentially, the drums and vocals are playing five measures for every four measures played by the bass and guitar. This means that they disconnect, and then loop back around to each other, if that helps you understand at all.

For more information on this sort of Rhythm checkout polyrhythm. Also, this sort of use of polyrhythm is pretty common in Progressive bands and djent. if you really like polyrhythm stuff like tool, I would check out tesseract. Every singer that's ever been a part of tesseract is world class and the drummer is a beast. There are some scream vocals, but mainly their stuff is just highly technical with clean vocals. --- Sorry, a quick addendum to this. I forgot that this was on Lateralus. This particular song is heavily influenced by the Fibonacci sequence. In general though, tool builds heavily on polyrhythm.

Closest I have heard to Danny himself and I have had the good fortune to see Tool live 6 times. Bravo! You kill it where other people covering it are off

Damn I need to come back every now and then to watch you absolute nail my favourite song from my favourite band. And of course it is so shallow to talk about those stick flips, but damn those were the icing on the cake cause you look soooo "in the zone" man. And I love your expression right at the last ten seconds, when you know you nailed it and you look so satisfied. My oh my John, you are crazy and so talented.

I wonder how the band,"Tool" is of this planet. Their music compositions are out of this world. Great playing Mr. John! 👏👏👏

@nickavenoso7851 3 жыл бұрын

The thing that I love about Tool is that they’re not just typical metal. They don’t just bash their instruments and show off, they come up with complex and interesting arrangements. Danny’s one of my favorite drummers. Great job, John! You’re the go-to person for Tool’s covers, imo.

You inspire me to practice, practice, practice!! The amount of time & effort you have committed yourself to break down all the intrical parts & pieces of the Alien known as Danny Carey is absolutely incredible!!! I cannot applaud your efforts enough to justify what you are achieving! Brilliant!! Just Brilliant!!

I watched this video probably well over 50 times. This is, quite literally the perfect cover, and it's of one of the best and most difficult songs ever recorded. I'm amazed each time I watch it.
