Great but sony dont allow me to watch your video from my country so i must tho change my ip address to watch the show. How embarrassing of Sony!!!!!

[jsnhrv]

Amazing!!!!!!

[astrofunkyness]

whats up Craig, i was watching all your home brew videos, and i saw this. I play the drums also and i thought this was a great drum cover. u even nailed the dirty kick drum part at the end, love it. keep posting. your awesome.

[juanito2do]

I can just describe it in one word.......FLAWLESS!!!!!!

[zuzanarox]

awesome! that was spot on.

[MrLino]

I really like your video entries, you have everything, from cooking, to vegas tutorial and music! By the way, that was a really good drumming, really powerful.

[edrums182rj]

old in the line xD!!!

[NINJAX2X2X]

2:25-2:32 is epic

[JPDADDIETUBE]

I think I have the same drum set by the way. I bought it as a seven piece set on eBay for 200.00 brand new. I think it sounds great. I bought my red headphones at harbor freight for 5 bucks and they get the job done too. If you're interested I picked up a double bass pedal recently for a good deal too. I can send you the specs. I'm a lefty so for 100.00 it was a hard to find and is really a good pedal set. Take care. Thanks again for the great cover.

[JPDADDIETUBE]

Really good and very accurate. Bass triples were there and at the end where they should be. He seemed to save them for the end. Can you offer anything on how to learn to play those triplets? Would mean a lot to me. Thanks.

[OneCerebralSamurai]

Freaking AWESOME dude!

I've watched your homebrew vids for some time, and I've recently started to homebrew myself (got a monster triple chocolate stout in the primary right now! :-)

I've long had a dream to learn to play the drums... vids like yours make me long for the ability you have.

Please give us more drum vids!

[Raydungey]

Bravo very cool.

[toddwquigley]

Having spent a lot of time watching Peccarro live, I'm quite impressed, because he's ultra clean, Wish I had the patience to nail Lukathar's solo like that

[UncleKen926]

How was the camera work done? Clearly, it was done in one take.

Effing incredible.

[UncleKen926]

You smoked it down to the ground, Craig. I wanna jam with you.

I can hear the drums ringing a bit, but it's not objectionable and I can hear the room in the mix, too.

But you effing nailed it.

Nice camera and foot work.

I feel a man-crush coming on. :)

[gabrielriegler]

awesome^^

[mukre34]

very god

[TheSotosvach13]

very good!!

[acdc43v3r]

[layzworm]

[Galervo80]

[sbbinahee]

I do love pop and hard rock and this display from you is exhilerating and what a great song!! Hey and thanks for visiting my channel and your generous comments my good man....Peace........

[VitiokasMozart]

I guess these people who disliked this video are f* epic drummers :) Love your videos Craig. Thank you very much for creating and sharing.

[bmwb15]

Craig, is there anything you aren't amazing at?

[gabethegun]

Craig, you never cease to amaze me with your musical talents my friend!!!! OUTSTANDING! So where can I purchase the tickets to the next live show? That was bad-ass sir, I watched it like 8 times in a row!

[digivaper]

Sounds great.

[MrMrtiki]

I have to confess always thought he said TOE THE LINE as in step up to the plate !!

[MrMrtiki]

You hit that right on the head Craig sounded perfect ; One of my favorites

[CheezyFeet]

You're too good for that kit!

[BB13016]

Bravo collègue! J'aime beaucoup le jeu, la concentration et la pêche que ça dégage.Un vrai bonheur... Merci pour ce magnifique tube que je joue aussi avec mon groupe (pas aussi bien que toi mais ça me

donne envie de progresser encore!!!). Bert

[senger11]

Excellent video man, great drum skill you have!

Buenisima che!! segui tocando que tocás re bien

[franko1819]

WOW! JUST WOW!

Excellent video!

[jaydowdall]

good job craig,i was impressed :)

[ottonerodrums]

cover fedele , prenderò spunto da te ;)

[yuetching]

wow thanks for the video~~ just a beginner drummer, my bass drum hitting is still very slow..but yours in the vid r great!! ^^

[thepeacedrummer]

Great choice of cymbals. how long have you been a drummer?

[CraigTube]

@thepeacedrummer I started when I was 8, and played for about 8 years. Then I sold my drums to buy other recording equipment. I went for over 20 years without drums, only playing other people's occasionally. I got this kit 4 years ago.

[thepeacedrummer]

@CraigTube Wow, one more question, what is your kit bran?

[CraigTube]

@thepeacedrummer The kit in this video is a cheap, off the shelf brand called Networks. The red kit I'm using now is a Tama.

[faroutadventures]

Nice!!

[brownelettr]

VERAMENTE BRAVO!

[mach2flight]

great cover....im not a stick man....but i know the song well..... excellent work

[freechineesefood561]

3:22 he looks constipated but still awsome vid craig!

[rushrules1968]

Awesome. One of the best drum covers ive seen on the tube.

[GANRUSH2]

Nailed Jeff Porcoro.. right down to the doubles on the bass near the end. Simon Phillips keeps it honest when he plays it on tour now also. Well done.

[smackenjack]

you are the man without adoubt, this is by far the best drumming i"ve see on you-tube and the sound was perfect............great job no one could"ve done it any better

[nicknak4444]

awsome



[gwilym94]

awesome man!

[mixmmick]

This is my favourite Toto song, second favourite is Falling in Between. Prefer their prog rock stuff than their hits. Steve Lukather is one my favourite guitarists.

Oh and by the way, f**king brilliant drumming mate. :-)

[kodakc310]

you rock man!! 

[uglybob6666]

That was awesome! great song, great shirt, great drumming!

[editdirt]

AWESOME

[steeljan]

Wow, I just found this. Wow, wow, wow!!! You never cease to amaze me!!!

[entrrt]

Very nice Craig! Tight, too!!

[Isske95]

I love your t-shirt! :D

[brownjenkin3]

Freaking killer man.

[ultrakool]

i keep finding myself coming back to this. impeccable timing. "heal toe", huh? is that what you pray for after stubbing it in the dark? lol

[NewlyBoughtSpatula]

Wow! I've mainly been watchin the bew vids and not much else. You are all kinds of talented. Rock on!

[Ladiesman217n]

the fill you do at 2:26 is incredible

[angelltube]

I love you man!  :-D

[ACTeslaMachineDC]

Hey Craig...Just got my FIRST Brew Video Uploaded! finally! Now I feel like I can contribute to the HOMEBREW society ;) Look forward to many more videos...Please subscribe and comment! Cheers!

[ultrakool]

like a metronome...sweet

[chris95069]

Rock on crraig!!

[ACTeslaMachineDC]

Hey great video Craig...awesome drumming. I play some myself, but not as good as you do for sure ....great song. any genesis/ phil collins ?

[CraigTube]

@ACTeslaMachineDC I was thinking "In The Air Tonight", but I don't know what I would do during the first half where there's just drum machine. Time to get creative?

[ACTeslaMachineDC]

@CraigTube Simple...drink a home brew ;)

[flatliner35]

Man, after watching you play this on the drums, I feel like a kid again! Makes me want to start playing again! I have too many "hobbies", at this point in time, but maybe one day I could get a cheap set to play around on with my girls! Cheers Craig! You sure are one multi talented fella! Take care!

[eyepatchinc]

your playing is so tight and clean Craig. I've been contemplating a "virtual band", online music collaboration of some sort. I think it could be a lot of fun. I'm a guitarist, bass player & have all my own recording equipment. if you're interested, you can send me a message or AIM instant message at: av71704

[TiMeLezZ]

Wow, I I'm a drummer myself and that was perfect. Maybe it's because I think this song is awesome. Great job, you should do another cover.

[78recordrepair]

Nice way to beat out all the frustrations from the all-grain vs. can conflict. Sounds great. You are a great drummer.

[stoenjo]

you rock, crazy old man :D

[velat25]

Freaking Awesome !!!!! I have no clue how to master the heel toe like that at the end, I am just starting out but that was impressive!!!! Love the drumming very inspirational hope to someday be that good.

[fpfarley]

Craig - best cover of this one I've seen. Well done. Thanks for posting.

[sonicfrogdotnet]

OK. You nailed it!. I've been a bass player for 23+ years, and a Porcaro fan since as far back as the first album. You've got the heal / toe thing down, but what I most like, is that you have your kit tuned similar to Jeff's. Once again, Kudo's.

[Batito18]

really nice cover I like it, is my guide jeje well greetings from Peru ^^

[JPDADDIETUBE]

Great Job!! Very accurate.

[reverie312]

AweSome!! wish i could have a drumset . but still , great drum cover

[tz93]

Just awesome

[Ifeelikedrumming]

awsome cover! I´m a beginner drummer and I'm ready to start my series of covers as soon as I get a video camera. By the way, is there any chance I can get this drumless version?

[CraigTube]

@Ifeelikedrumming Thank you. I don't know of any drumless versions of this tune.

[jeffkahl]

great job both on the playing and the editing of the footage!

[spoof1011]

I was checking out some of your other videos and came across this one. I had to watch it twice! AWESOME!

[Chespiron]

I like this man! hehehe

[xxmickeyzeroxx]

Craig it is obvious that you have been playing this song for the last quarter century. Secondly, I can not understand how you can play the drums facing a wall like that. Why don't you turn that kit around, man? With these observation I'd like to add that you play the hell out of this song. You should go have yourself a cold Pepsi after that one brother. lol

[chiccoevani]

Complimenti,fantastica esecuzione

[vincentcicos]

great power , great drummer...very good...exellent

[SONUeBOTTOS]

...great execution man!!!

[aragornerer]

Nice t-shirt xD 5/5

[skydrumz]

great! I would like you to comment on some of my drum covers please. Comments from good drummers are helpful. thanks

[coolmanfx]

Yééééé!!! respect from the reunion island man!

[keepntyme]

Very Well Done ! Definitely a great post. Is it really the Pepsi that makes you play soo well?

[Natural1971]

Badass!

[TheMattybono]

Wot a kick ass video!! One of the best bands of all time! You nailed it too. Looks fkn brilliant too play! Keep rockin'!!!! nice kit too!

[fcf369]

FANTASTIC!

[tangoninerrex]

Wow.... fantastic, spot on!!

[ejlarson249]

That was freeking AWESOME! Nicely done my friend, from another semi-olt timer! ;) Keep rockin and inspiring!!

[Wolfeye123]

Impressive and very accurate performance!!!

Man you've nailed this one to a T!

Cant say nothing but praises to a job truly well done.

Keep on rockin dude! 5*****

[jabadahut4]

dude you kick ass. i love this song. keep on having fun!

[joshyboi102]

I am learning Hold the Line for my band - and your video is a great help. your timing is ace, and has the right feel and dynamics especially in the lead guitar break - Thank you for sharing your skills. Rock on man you are cool. Gaz, England

[nickfriend54]

Great video - keep it up! I showed this to my drummer friends and they're inspired. Well done!

[hotgoalie11565]

Tried to copy closely? dude, you flat out NAILED IT!! BTW, I'm not a drummer so I would never have thought of going heel toe to get the double bass hits. Awesome job!

[tnoutdoors9]

YOU 100% NAILED IT. Ever since I first heard the song when it played on air, I've always felt that 1:51 to 2:32 was just as much a drum solo as it was meant for the guitar....and your skills reiterate that belief.

[kanariepietje1992]

man!!! to my opinion nobody should touch Jeff Porcaro's work, bit I must admit, you are so awesomely great!!! would like to hear you play gipsy train or girl goodbye.. you rock man!

[Maincozofmysmile]

pretty awesome song to drum, not that hard though lol

[jvlvtknight]

you might want to check your spellin before giving advice about grammar. that whole banning thing is a joke on youtube, the only thing is does is stop the user from commenting on your page. if krazytrixxxsta wanted to keep pissing you off all he or she have to do is make another account on here. youtube doesn't block the user ip address, it just block that specific account from commenting on your page.

[CraigTube]

True. As I mentioned above, it only takes me one click (two actually) to ban an idiot. It takes them several minutes to create a new account. I love wasting their time. One guy did it 5 times, just for me! weeew! Anyway, I'm always opened to advice, criticism, etc. There's a right way and a wrong way. I don't have much tolerance for idiots since I dealt with them all through school.

[DNUTSINURMOUTH]

Great job on the drums, you really nailed it. You sound like you were about to have a heart attack when that guy insulted you. There alot of ppl on here that say negative things to piss people off, they get a kick out of it . By you responding to them, you just give them what they want. Next time dont play into their hands, just ignore them and do your thing.

[CraigTube]

I realize that. I usually check their channel and If they have tuns of negative comments on their profile, I just ban and delete. Sometimes I just get sick if idiots. The guy is 27 years old WTF? Anyway, about banning. It only takes me a second to ban someone, It takes them 5 minutes to create a new account, which will be baned also. If that's the game they want to play, I'll always win at the expense of their wasted time.

[darkjoker22]

Wow! that was hysterical.

[krazytrixxxsta]

hold the line, love isnt always time oh oh oh

[krazytrixxxsta]

that was nice too bad that wasn't freaking u playing it. u lying sack of shit.

[CraigTube]

I'm afraid it was me dude. Sorry about your luck. Don't call me a lier unless you know what the fuck you're talking about. Idiot!

[krazytrixxxsta]

it alright man, no need to get all emotional. you and i both know you're a liar that all that count. dance hall days love :)

[CraigTube]

"Don't get all emotioal".. You are the one who called me a "lying sack of shit". So shove that idea up your ass dude.

As far as this conversation goes, you don't know anything. Provide me with a reason why you don't believe this is me playing. When you have a good reason, then your comments will matter. Until then, stop showing your ignorance... And learn some grammar too. You're a troll about to be banned, so make it good stupid. !!

@CraigTube lol..tell em' craig .. but dont let these morons get to you...the iggy/ban button works wonders dude - rock on!
