A Perfect Circle - Drum Cover: "Passive"

[nonchalant1985]

good job love the zoning

[TheMrKiller88]

what's set is this? is this tama?

[darcy19822]

woawwow :D woww.. youre so fcking good man :D i admire you! :D how long did you train or learn to get to this point you are now :D ? ? awsome !

[chessboy14]

You're so relaxed and artistic while you play! Everything flows so nicely like you're dancing! Good work!

[jayay35]

good job, i like it, haters hate. If they want perfection heck they can go out buy a kit and upload their version!

[mega666angel]

sounds good man

[AnandSuresh]

Except for the tom that seemed to be tuned a little too high for this song, that was some really tight drumming!!!

[Tiktaalikk]

wow.... This is totally epic! :D

[deomarsvolta]

awesome!

[lemonsys]

Pretty good. I feel like the toms were tuned a bit high, but other than that, pretty top notch.

[DjDCD07]

what hi-hats do you have?

[rsm76]

@DjDCD07 13" and 14" HHX Evolutions.

[bmonstrosity]

I really like your interpretation. I watch a lot of drummers that get the sticking right but lose the feel of a song. I would much rather see a drummer that doesn't have the exact same sticking but keeps the overall feel of the song. Thank You

[gyger1234]

You got negative comments? Wow people really think their shit doesn't stink I guess. I like the band and I thought your cover was great. I suck at drumming but it's the simpler music that gives me hope haha.

[pabloF1192]

cool!! :) makes me wish I could play the drums!

[hexadecim8]

You fuckin disappoint me! jk thanks for posting this you are a very tight drummer, love the style. Do you ever play anything from Maynards other band??

[WelcomeWakinyan]

@hexadecim8 DO you mean TOOL?

[stunna442]

2 people have no idea what they are watching.... this shit is sick!

[stunna442]

baller!!!

[bajikorvi]

i absolutely love that fill on 1:30 its sooo awsoomee!!!

[bajikorvi]

it sounds awsome, do you use any ghostnotes? i cant tell...

[caseacquitted]

I have been playing drums since the age of 6, I'm 31 now. That's not to say I'm any good! I agree with all the positive comments Josh is a great drummer, aswell you covered this song to a T!  It's not about how much you can show off it's about the feeling of the song. You got right into it. I like Josh's style of drumming, perfect example check out the outsider on jay leno's show at 2:58,

his drum patterns are great once you catch them

[TripleFinC]

i want your set and your laptop....lol .... man just how you hold your snare stick blows my mind... i have tried it and i feel like i am in the CDC class

[TheDrummist88]

Hey i do cod videos and drum covers check it out if u like that sort of thing :D

[godsmackssa]

In middle I saw one mistake...but u are very good man...continue training...

[BrennanDixon1537]

Great job. Sound quality is impressive. Some people can play well, but it never translates in the video because of the recording quality. Oh, and you're a pretty solid drummer.

[xrtgx22]

wonderful job.

[pkrishnametal]

Excellent cover ,sir.If possible could you do 'Rising' by the band City of Fire ? You are awesome. Keep them coming.

[anton16fox]

Really good. I'm with FBeye007, this is a great, clean, crisp cover. You did Freese justice.

[DarkBlue101]

Great job! Your hats sound great, what kind are they if I could ask? Keep up the good work. 

[BruceMasterCylinder]

Excellent! I love Josh Freese's drumming and you did it justice. Great job man!

[rsm76]

@BruceMasterCylinder Thank you very much.

[goneGRUB]

good one dude ....

people may say it is easy song to cover, but I feel you did it really nice... with nice technique and almost flawless drumming

thumbs up from me :) \m/



[tyleduden]

Nice work fella

[ZiZski]

Good job, mate~! Might want to add a bit more reverb to the snare and tune the toms lower. Other than that, really good~!

[11brassmonkey11]

Great flow, feeling and intentional playing. Loved it. ;o)

[triffle69]

smooooth and precise .well done !

[brodemonz]

I really liked that. Love the flow you had with it.

[FBeye007]

Nice cover!

People who say it's not really a challenging song for drummers; well I think Josh Freese wrote some interesting drumparts for this song, though they still are very simple, but effective. Making music is not always in the speed or the technique, it's more in the feeling and if this is'nt drumming with feeling, well then I don't know it either.

[rsm76]

@FBeye007 Thanks a lot. I couldn't have said it better myself. You wouldn't believe the negative responses I've gotten from this video. It's a great band, great drummer, and fun to play along with. As far as technique, some people might want to check out other drum or band covers of this song.

[ArtofRi0t]

@FBeye007

I agree. It's like the lesson brought forth in Neil Peart's A Work In Progress: serve the song. Josh Freese is a masterful servant of song.

This is a very smooth performance, I like it. :) 

[Sovietbrad]

I find it pretty challenging. 

[BABOS1974]

@FBeye007 well put! sometimes its more effective to work for the song(music) so to speak then doing crazy complex shit!

[dianadarkness]

quedo muy bien! exelente

[psycodelits]

nice song, nice drumming

[jlsb825]

Excellent job, I think u nailed it!!

[BrianMcGooch]

well played sir

[MMAguyAlpha]

Great job this one of my favorite songs

[fifiandbettas]

this is a good song... i dont care if people think this is not a good song for a drum cover but this guy is good...

[denialWaits]

something beautiful :)

love this sooong!

[CactusMan2206]

amazing cover mate your technique is a joy to watch. Incredible and very very stylish.

[fierce2985]

great song! awesome drumming drummer to drummer i can appreciate the art of playing no matter how complex the song is screw any one that thinks otherwise.

Drum on!....

[lrodcam]

I love this song!

great job!

[Mastinox803]

You are pro. Make something so freaking tough look so easy. F'n natural.

[skatoman9]

his cymbals sound amazzzzzzing

[et720]

No offense man, but you should pick a song worth covering next time...like a "drumming song", more like "Weak and Powerless" or "The Outsider"...Something challenging.

[rsm76]

@et720 Why did you bother clicking my video if you knew it wasn't going to be "challenging" enough for you?

[et720]

@rsm76 That's a good question, why does anyone click on your video? Wasn't aware youtubers needed a reason to click on a video.

[stylerprofyler]

@et720 don't be sad on him calling you out on being a douche.

[Stylez1001]

@rsm76 i reckon you did a good job mate, good song

[archiehenderson]

@rsm76 lol i agree lol critics complain but click on it haha

[PiffNutz]

@et720 maybe that's not his style dilweed I think it was an awsome cover and it helped me a lot figuring it out.

[et720]

@PiffNutz Whatever knob shiner

[et720]

@et720 ok dick buffer

[et720]

@PiffNutz good for you asswipe!

[stylerprofyler]

@et720 why should he pick a 'drumming song'?

it's music man, and he gets major points for flawless execution and groove. that'll get the gig anyday, i'm sure rsm76 would love to apologise for not picking a genre you enjoy.

[scrumdidilyumpsish]

@et720 he can choose anyone he wants and he prob chose this one to show his technique and style

[snookion899]

@et720 Yeah man some people drum songs because they like the song, regardless of the challenge!

[melvings]

hey back off faggot.. u jus thnk its easy because this song is quiet calm compared to other APC songs... stupid bitch @et720

[et720]

@melvings Well it is easy...knob shiner

[melvings]

can u cover it then please... since ur so pro at drumming o wait... i cant find it on in ur uploads.. can u link it to me please... THANKS stupid bitch.. an yea i shine ur dads knob all day.. cus ur moms tits are to saggy for him to get off on it @et720

[et720]

@melvings That's a pretty gay comeback

[melvings]

wat r u talking about gay? the fact that u replied wth "gay" is a gay comeback urself..it shows how u have nothing on me.. cus u aint got shit bitch... ur last resort was to calling me gay... ahaha ur such a dumb waste of inferior flesh.. and yeah wheres ur video doing this cover? i thought itr was easy.. link it ? aww wats wrong. @et720

[et720]

@melvings Chill out, we're on youtube. I think most intermediate drummers would agree with me that this song is easy to play. I'm not calling it a bad song, and I don't have to prove anything to you.

[melvings]

well if u got nothing to prove dont talk shit about this song being easy to play on the drums... u probly dont even drum faggot ass bitch  @et720

[SixSick6]

@et720 No offense man, but have you ever considered going somewhere and fucking yourself?

[mariandrummer]

wow, toms are tuned very high!

very good cover!

[ToOlOGT22]

isnt the first beat just like the one from Blue?

[rsm76]

It's you.

[gregorioster]

8D Super!

[ArgotDrums]

Bro, amazing laid back feeling on the drums... i play drum set as well and playing in mexico, i'm telling you, to get that kind of feeling here is REALLY HARD, you know, latin music being so "precise" there is no space for being "laid back" awesome dude, keep it up

[TheClaiiire]

why do you have ''emo'' in your labels? thats a disgrase to apc...

[rsm76]

It was probably from the word emotive.

[richard2durant]

disgrace 

[Yegorization]

Good

[iainthedrummer]

sick sounding snare man, is it a ludwig 402?

rock on brother!

[rsm76]

It's a Gretsch chrome over brass. Thanks for checking it out.

[GiovanniAv]

Great version!

[mikewizowski1]

very very nice cover bro! cheers!

[Tinkytanky]

Nice cover, imho it's not a very hard song, other than the bass drum doubles. But it sounds absolutely awesome.

[megadrummer2]

Cool man.

[elessarrd]

you are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Berryr23]

Nice cover but what makes you want to play traditional grip.......is that just how always play or you a jazz drummer at heart

[rsm76]

Thanks. If you watch my other videos, I use both grips. Jazz drumming has nothing to do with the type of grip one uses, although it is more commonly used in the jazz setting.

[hma0]

Great Job !!!!!!!

[jackowxm]

r they sabian hhx Cymbals ? ?

[gloshyca]

did you use the doble pedal?

[rsm76]

There is no double pedal in this song or in my playing.

[Giblets12]

josh freese can surprising with only one pedal. also good you did your own thing, good playing

[ToOlOGT22]

what's the computer for? the mics?

[rsm76]

Recording of the drums.

[aerosilver]

Calm and clean. Excellent cover.

[Trian1993]

[noheadnoheadache]

[parente42]

[bluefalcon670]

outstanding. i love that you are as technical as you are. if you werent you wouldnt be covering coheed and apc. good look. good job. cae la v

[rsm76]

Thanks. I don't get much time to practice the songs that I do. I'm just having fun trying to play close to the original, while adding some of my own interpretations as well.

[zenhakuin]

nice job man... rly close 2 the original version... keep on working... u have the skills 2 become a great drummer...

[bernistiffler]

wow, great job, dude!!!! n1 drum style!

drumset and microphones,too!!!

[Joshcleaver1]

aren't Macbooks great?

[Cheebusal]

I had to favorite this, probably the best A Perfect Circle drum cover I have ever seen. Great job.

[rsm76]

Thank you. That's quite a compliment!

[goneGRUB]

@Cheebusal I agree, bookmarked by me as well

[rsm76]

@goneGRUB Thanks for your support!

[rupomk]

Nice job dude. Pretty kick @ss

[syn5643]

Great part in the chorus brother, thats a great interpretation of Joshes parts. I digg your groove, and your drums mesh with the track in the video well man, 5 stars. Just one tips, the verses don't feel as alive as the choruses, I know thats for effect, but maybey play a little looser when your riding the hats, you've got a very accurate style, which is great. Great cover.

[Konstantinos145]

awesome amazing quality:P

[Venimal]

I love seeing new guys on youtube. You rock dude. Keep drumming.

[nawalator]

beautiful man:)))

[JerseyGyrl39]

Great choice of song. Think this is my favorite of all the videos you've made. I'm no drummer, but think the hi-hat sounds great.

[rsm76]

I'm glad you liked it.

[Drummingisme]

oh and love the fill at 1:31 :)

[Drummingisme]

wow! This is amazin! =D definitely worth watching again and again..and again...and again! =D

[Fall2Rise]

Yeah man, I've watched it at least 20 times.

[rsm76]

Thanks for adding it to your favorites. More coming soon.

[Fall2Rise]

No problem. That's why I wanted you to make that cover, couldn't find any good ones anywhere.

[zetok45]

Fucking wow. I love this song and wanted to learn the drums by watching but.... damn was I impressed. You really did an outstanding job at making this your own. Mad props to you and may your talent not go to waste.

[rsm76]

Thanks for the kind words.

[seasnake10]

Real quick question do you really need your computer next to you at all times??

[rsm76]

The music program that I use to record my drum track is on that laptop.

[Fall2Rise]

Awesome!! Completely exceeded my expectations, I really enjoyed your variation of the song, took what's great and made it better.

Looking forward to whatever you're doing next.

[rsm76]

I new you'd be looking forward to this. I was nervous about recording it because I know how much you wanted to see it. I didn't really practice it - I did 4 or 5 takes and took the best one. Thanks for enjoying it.

[Fall2Rise]

It was really good, I watch it like everytime I'm on Youtube at least once.

[rsm76]

Thanks. I'm glad you like it so much. I never really sat down to practice the song. I've listened to it over and over and decided to see what it would sound like. Everything is off the cuff.

[wildbill1240]

Good pick of a song. I've definitely not seen this one done on YouTube before. I think you could fill in for Josh Freese and no one would notice!

Have you heard of Ashes Divide? It's A Perfect Circle minus Maynard. Not bad.

[rsm76]

Josh is great in the studio and live -I think people would notice. Haha. Thanks. I have the Ashes Divide cd - kind of boring. The Howerdel/Keenan collaboration is definitely missing.

[wildbill1240]

I definitely agree. I only like "Forever Can Be."  Otherwise it is a pretty lame project.

[aenemica]

great job!:)

[rsm76]

I appreciate it.

[bikefreak77]

very well done. great cover, and the kit sounds great

[SimonBak90]

Woow! Incredible played.

[spazzymcgee001]

When I saw the words a perfect circle and a picture of you at your kit in my subscription section just before... I just thought... awesome. Great cover man.

[extremeo99]

nice! real cool sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
