Too bad about the out of sync drums! I know how hard it is though to get it perfect, specially with a band like Tool. Great concept though, it's like an "over youtube Tool cover band"!
TBartels is a fantastic drummer, followed his videos for some time now and he's 99.9% of the time in sync with the music so it's by far not his fault at all.
As for the guitarist and bass players, both cracking, fair play lads fair play.
If i had to give a score out of 100, would easly end up a meaty 90/100 (Shame about the out of sync)
I'll be honest, I like Tbartels part better than the Tabla part. For this cover. I love the way it builds up, it makes such a unique impact on the song. Less is more. Sometimes.
i love the idea of taking 3 individual videos and syncing them... it MUST be hard, but its a really cool thing to do, if you can't meet in person to do this.
Listen to that fuckin' sick ass tone that Noah gets when he hits the open D5 at 3:38! Ugh, I drool over that amp. =) And to those "kids" who say the song is out of sync. Obviously you have never listened to this song with a good pair of head phones. When they mastered this album, the mixed the guitar melody out front of the drums and bass because it is kind of like the guide line of the song while the bass and drums go off and do their own thing. It's supposed to sound out of sync......
is it just me or did this sound out of sync?? i think u all should redo it using a metronome set to the same tempo( obviously set slightly diff for each cuz at diff times you play diff time signatures) Still sounds great tho, one day i'll get that good.
yeah in his original video, he says that he doesnt have tabla drums or did not train for tabla drums and would be a dishonor to danny if he attempted it on his regular heads. he should practice and add a tabla part to the song that would be great wouldnt it?
you guys should have had thekillingjoke's right and two drum recording in this, i like tbartels but killingjoke's is just a better performance and the tabla solo is right on
He's right, thekillingjoke's cover is way better, but i have to say that tbartels007 is playing his own style, he state it for the record in every video he has, but they're good, both of them
Very impressed. I am a hardcore TOOL fan and I've seen them live nine times. I started learning classical guitar at a young age but when I heard TOOL it was exactly what my life was missing. Obviously I can play every song TOOL have ever made but I have to give you guys major props because I'm very picky about shitty TOOL covers. Thank all of you for doing the guys justice. TOOL would be proud especially with everyones futile attempts to cover them.
i couldnt listen to this for more than 3 mins. brad and opiate are doing fine, but that drummer is playing it behind the beat...now normally thats fine, but not with tools music...it makes it a painful listen.
The beginning as just a little rough that's all...and it's mostly because the drummer is purposely playing it his own way. The part when everybody comes in hard and heavy sounds perfect!
nicely done all. ive been trying to figure out that bass harmonic part for awhile now, i always thought it was a looped guitar track. and the drummer is a bad ass
well, Im not trying to be a jerk, but when i watch the video, and listen to the music (both from the album, and the audio of the vid), the drums aren't hitting when TBartels007 is hitting the drums. again, no need to be defense, just trying to shed some light on the subject. Im a big fan, not trying to be stupid.
I'm so impressed with you guys. Great job! One question though: the natural harmonic's your playing with the bass seem to "slide up" and down, is that an effect pedal (like a whammy pedal?) or are you just using a technique that I don't know about?
wrong that is how the begining sounds if you don't like it fast fwd to the part when he comes in with the regular drums and you will see that everything is perfectly in synch. Goddamn you people are friggen impatient and clearly do not know this song...
TBartels007 is using a pre-programmed bell sound, emulating the bells danny uses in the original track, that's the "ting-ting--ting" noise you mention, just watch a little closer, he's hitting his electronic pad to make that sound :D
Hey Toolbassplayer, I see you have a 75 reissue in the background. I picked one up about 8 months ago and I absolutely love it. Great job by the way, I love this song.
I just went back and relistened...the bass is plenty loud. I think the mix is perfect. If the bass was any louder you wouldn't hear the guitar...trust me
it pretty much is.. listening to most of the song is almost identical to listening to the original track.. its just the dirty part (fight over land..) in the end that makes me say that the bass should be a *touch* louder.
I'd totally lay down some vocals for ya.
