[briccc4]

Bravo!

[niljen92]

You are a master! Tell me.. how did you find this track?

[stylerprofyler]

@niljen92 his brother plays guitar.

[CCAPriester]

Impressive cover. 1 Question, all this song is in 5/4? or the part from 2:22 to 2:44 is in other signature?? (ive counted 3/4 +4/4, but totally confused haha)

[johnkew]

@CCAPriester Most of the song is 5/4, although there is some 5/2, 6/2, 5/1, 6/1, 7/4, and 6/5 thrown in for good measure :/

[CCAPriester]

@johnkew Haha, crazy song, tnx mate :)

[NathanXPablo]

DUDE YOU RAPE ON THE DRUMS! but seriously you should get a different hair cut

[secondfish]

Great work, sounds awsome!

[cowboyfromhell91107]

[cowboyfromhell91107]

@beeeuuuwwwl rofl ull give me a chubby? fag haha

[NathanXPablo]

@cowboyfromhell91107  you sir are mentally retarded. im fit and ive been playing my whole life.

[skysnipeh]

@ElToroManalo thats the cord from his headphones

[johnkew]

Just wanted to add my praise - awesome drumming! The mix sounds great too. I've read through a lot of the comments, but haven't seen anything about mics, interface, or mixing. Any chance you have gone through this on a forum?

[Daiphantus]

what microphones are you using?

[00722000]

how did u tune your drums to sound like that?

[00722000]

sound awsome man, wats the name of your kit? and how do u tune your drums to sound deep like that? I can only tune my drums and they sound high and poppy

[LiquidVoodooMaster]

I would love to put a vocal cover to this. With your permission.

[KeanoBerbs]

for all the lack of style and fitness you have, you make up for and more with your ability to drum sir

[MattnessFilms]

Dat was awesome man. Fo real...propz.

[lobyte]

This is very very cool. Vids like this make me feel sorry for picking up the guitar and not the drums :(

[skysnipeh]

I watched your Schism cover and it looks like you changed the heads on your toms and I was wondering about that because Im replacing all the heads on my drum kit and wanted to know what you might recommend.

[scappel]

good work man!

[mlot951]

Nice job!

[Zeldaforeva]

this is great

[EthanDuPre]

What size is your snare?

[matter311]

@ElToroManalo its tells you if you watch the video...

[thehornypuppy]

@matter311 I actually read...Is that a shit strip of... xD hahahahaha Fucking Dave Chapelle...

[bryantmcrae144]

amazing man, I bet Carrey would have a huge smile while watching this, great job dude!

[bo12white34]

u make it look to easy man. and danny carey !!!! hes by far the best drummer still playing . in my mind anyway. youre fuckin awesome man.

[tooldrum3]

Do you use a timbalito??

[doodskater77]

great cover! probably one of my favorite songs by Tool

[ImmortalSpammer]

are those the neil peart cymbals if so you are lucky brotha!

[RocKJam36]

This is wicked sick. How long did this take you to learn?

[ben2nd]

fuck you are good at drums

[nedak]

Are you counting or is this all by "feel" ?

[matter311]

@nedak Feel. I never count in my head when I play...

[nedak]

@matter311 I've never taken lessons (I know I should) and I 'feel' as well...I've been told by many people they count while playing and I just don't understand how anybody could do that. Thanks for responding.

[matter311]

@nedak I've never had a lesson in my 15 years of drumming, I have ALWAYS learned by ear. And although I do regret it sometimes, I wouldn't be the drummer I am today. So as of the last year or so, I have been getting into rudiments and practice pads and such. Figuring now I know how to play the basics...but now I can learn WHY and HOW.

[whoohaaXL]

@matter311 That's awesome bro, shows your really wanting to get understanding of it and improve. As a guitarist of about 12 years, I'm going back and doing something similar as well.

[nedak]

@nedak That's really interesting to hear. I usually hear the opposite from everybody. I actually contacted Danny Carey and asked him the same question and got some cool feedback from him. I still want to get drum lessons but it's cool hearing that people are actually able to play the drums properly with feeling without any lessons.

[declan1212]

How did you get this recording of the song? r the drums muted out?? i need it desperatlyyy for my hsc at school lol

[matter311]

@declan1212 That is actually my brother playing all the other instruments...8)

[declan1212]

@matter311 Wow thats really talented. I was wondering if there was any way you could please send me the file? Iv searched everywhere for backing tracks, and all i can find is schism and the pot..typical. I really need it for my major work at school, thank you

[matter311]

@declan1212 Sorry, my brother recorded all the bass and guitar parts himself, and it was all lost in a hardrive crash...

[declan1212]

@matter311 spewing, thanks anyway

[xSLoNiK994]

cool

[TheHumphreybumphrey]

Tbartels007 does the best tool covers on YouTube! U guys should check him out.

[bryanCire2010]

@TheHumphreybumphrey that guy is shit compared to this guy ur just trolling

[johnkew]

@TheHumphreybumphrey Not to take anything away from Tbartels because he did a respectable job, but Matter311 was far above and beyond his cover. There are at least four takes spliced together in Tbartels cover, whereas this one was clearly just one take. Matter311 also captured many more nuances of Carey. By far the best drum cover of this song on YouTube.

[DrummerDlux]

Sir I think you are playing my dream set..

[zesgan]

damn this cymbals sond nice. amazing.

[laudiumWP]

People, that's not a rat tail. This guy is the best YouTube tool cover drummer by a lot!

[rldrummer7]

you are the only drummer on youtube who posts good covers

[MusicVidMaker2010]

Hahahaha 00:07 not a rat tail

[MusicVidMaker2010]

How long do those Sabian Paragons last?

[XgiddyupX]

@MusicVidMaker2010

forever if you dont bang em like a freakin animal lol

[MusicVidMaker2010]

@XgiddyupX So, I'm guessing they are made for metal?

[KamilSalag]

Nice attack ^^

[CincoDrums]

I've seen this video like ten times and I just now noticed that there aren't any vocals.

[MALLANHEAVYHELL]

very nice

[ZERODIS0]

i'm going to be that great at a kit in 1000 years or so lol i would love to play tool songs i can do pantera stuff and alice in chains asll so nirvana how you get so good man? i know practice but what type of practice

[helpUupSENDuHOME]

no wasted energy or movements...love it

[Drumer4life64]

If you drum right no matter how hard you hit the head there should never Be to much force to break it. And i play death metal once and a while too

[rounder421]

If anyone needs a good reason why my brother doesn't get violent with the drums bashing them hard, etc., ask him how many times he has to replace cracked cymbals or busted heads in a given year. Or in his drumming history overall.

[mashafasha5]

You have the paragon cymbal set..... did you selll your whole family for them ????

[matter311]

@mashafasha5

My wife found them at a going out of business music store, she sweet talked them down to 1500 bucks...

[mashafasha5]

@matter311 That's awesome!

[ihatespongebob]

@matter311 Your wife loves you very much if bought you the whole set. ..Where can I find a woman like this?

lol

[ihatespongebob]

@matter311 Your wife loves you very much if she bought you the whole set. ..Where can I find a woman like this?

lol

[BIGDADDYFRANCO100]

@matter311

This is without question the best version i seen on youtube a little better than Tbartels007.

[BIGDADDYFRANCO100]

@BIGDADDYFRANCO100

Tbartels007 is great drummer though.

[bigsap]

@matter311 what a woman

[xCursedManiacx]

@mashafasha5 it would be worth it

[cameronbob92]

Do not understand how 59 knobs disliked this cover, its amazing

[HeyLookItsxZach]

wow this is the best drum cover of this song yet what kinda kit you have???

[LampTurk1337]

why does everybody complain about how he play like he is so relaxed and so on, WTF, let the guy play it the awesome way he just did! :)

[dasgemuse]

i could play this with my dick..

[matter311]

@dasgemuse Please do and post it on youtube so we can all laugh....8)

[PurpleSn00zer]

What kind of shampoo do you use? amazing! oh and the drumming was good too! haha amerzin

[matter311]

@PurpleSn00zer Selson Blue...But Wait, Matter311 doesn't have have Dandruff?....exactly.... ;)

[PurpleSn00zer]

@matter311 So what your saying is Selson Blue is the secret to crazy flambouyant drumming?

[drummer8616]

@matter311 Haha. I get it! Family Guy. =P

[vanhalenshredder]

Have a soul, you're a good drummer, but you're boring to watch, no expressions, nothing except fast hands and feet.

[matter311]

@vanhalenshredder Put me in front of an audience of 10,000 give or take and I will show you different HAHA!!!

[PoCapGamer]

@matter311 Well, sir, you are in front of an audience of more than 250,000! Seeing as how you have gotten 269,385 (as of right now) views! Hehe! :)

But all aside, awesome drumming, I could careless about your expressions!!

[vanhalenshredder]

@matter311 Yeah man, you have insane amounts of talent, I'm not saying that, but I just feel like theres no energy, I know it's cake to play most things for a seasoned drummer, I'm just use to feeling the energy of a drummer as they smash through a great song. No offense, I hope you didn't take any.

[fluffysnakeful]

@matter311

[kierkwingen]

@vanhalenshredder it's not about the way a musician looks, it's about how and what they play. you shouldn't have to watch someone to see that they have soul, you can hear it in their music. plus this is youtube, did u only watch this video to see him move around like a crazy metal rocker?,.. u don't have to answer that, i'm only sayin.

[vanhalenshredder]

@kierkwingen For me it's like this, you go to a show, the songs are great, you look up and everyone on stage is sitting in chairs, no energy, that's cool if you're on acid, but for me, if I go to a show, I want to get pumped! I just like seeing energy emanate off of someone and realize that that means something to them, you can sit there and play a song 100 times, but when playing it for the reason it was written or learned, I just expected to see a little more intensity.

[kierkwingen]

@vanhalenshredder yah, I agree with what you are saying, that makes sense now that ive reevaluated my thoughts. I was just saying if you listen to tool and close ur eyes, u can hear the intensity in the music, u don't have to watch them to See it. however this is a video and we can see him playing, and ur right! their isn't much intensity, but still I think if he wasn't so focused on the technical part of the drumming, he could feel it and then really express himself. We jus shdnt focus on it.

[powaowa]

@vanhalenshredder

not everyone has to express them self through headbanging...the expression is in the music

[almightymarshmellow]

@vanhalenshredder moving around is nothing without chops. Good solid posture is important to work on before worrying about headbanging and moving around a bunch. You need to develop a solid base first.

[vanhalenshredder]

@almightymarshmellow Jesus, why does everyone think I'm talking about headbanging. Look at drummers like Cobus, entertaining, tricks, amazing drummer. That's all, I don't want headbanging, stop assuming I said something that I never did.

[almightymarshmellow]

@vanhalenshredder tricks?? Tricks are even more pointless. Our proff would really kick our asses if we busted out stick tricks in class. What the heck else do you mean by "entertaining?" Do you want him to juggle?

[SteveOTheMan16]

ive never seen someone play tool so calmly as you did xD great cover tho

[gomerrpm21]

how rad would that be if it really was a rat tail?!

[EyeOnTheTV]

nice cover! I like how the rest of the song is a cover too and not just the drumming!

[ClarkKasheta]

DrumFrame?

[matter311]

@ClarkKasheta yes.

[rberlin2]

that's fuckin' sweet dude! you killed it!

[MrGkemp101]

la la la la la la la lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

did anyone else sing along to the awesomness of tool and matter311.

[mcloganface]

all you need to do now is put up a vid on how to do some of the beast fills

[thegrimreaper7]

Excellent cover! Subscribing now

[shanewhite666]

@matter311 im learning this song atm ready to coved with my band any tips you could share? also seriously how long did it take you to get it this dialed in?

[evilcats1]

is that a wuhan i see?

[matter311]

@evilcats1 Nope, these are all Sabian Paragons.

[phoenixpirate5]

Dude that is fucking sick!

[TheMakyoura]

Dude how do you tune that piccolo tom so low?

[matter311]

@TheMakyoura It's at a medium tension and I have EQ'd it a bit to take out some of the highs.

[tycore]

Damn man you are fucking BADASS!!!

[HomesliceDrummer]

Awesome job dude.

The tom levels need to come up in the mix just a hair. Also, in the syncopated part at 3:30 sounds good, but you need to EQ out some weird yet very subtle high frequency stuff going on. It sounds as if it's ringing from feedback although feedback doesn't exist in the recording. A few suggestions for the mix. Snare and bass levels are near perfect in contrast to eachother and sound great.

Excellent playing and Paragons FTW!

[matter311]

@HomesliceDrummer ya the 12" "floor" tom had some high pitch resonance I didn't hear till it was to late...

[pimpsonparade]

after the last couple seconds of the video... i'm pretty sure many heads exploded.

[amigomatt907]

I am a huge fan of yours...love your effortlessness when you play. At any rate, I've been drumming for a while, and back in the early 90's was the drummer for a metal band from New Mexico. So, we recorded an instrumental record. We didn;t have the money to record live drums, so took my drum parts and programmed them into a Roland R-5. Was curious if I could send you and get your feedback on what I did...do you have an email I could send it to?

[wagsterbrown4]

Awesome cover!! What kind of toms do you use?

[doggmann51]

dude could you plz hook me up with that backing track?

[rounder421]

@doggmann51 It's not a backing track. It's a cover. That's my brother playing the drums, I'm playing the guitars and bass

[fabinfvb]

Geez.. this song it's so fucking hard to play

you did a very very great job man..

i'm your fan! :p

[paulgraydrummer]

Awesome..!!

[bryanCire2010]

year so talanted keep it up

[mrpicky510]

A lot of people have wondered why this guy isn't rocking out, bangin his head with his shirt off looking like drumming is the biggest effort of his fucking life...he just chills the fuck out and plays the parts right. To me it's refreshing, to even have the balls to post an attempt at covering danny carey demands respect but in my opinion, matter does the best job I've ever seen....kudos and keep up the good work.

[kcobain8]

@mrpicky510 while i totally agree with this, i dont like the fact hes not rocking out simply for the eye candy. i love it when a drummer goes crazy. but non the less, great cover and well done.

[nysfinest10385]

@mrpicky510

AGREEEEEEEEEED!!!

[Billyheel]

@mrpicky510 It makes me a little hesitant when someone forces a headbang when playing a cover.  I agree with you, as long as they play it correctly, kudos to them.

[stefano1oo1]

he looks like a young version of that guy on the show "the office" the fat one. its funny because i just watched an episode where he was playing the drums. hahaha

[TheBarnes96]

sweet chair where can i get one of those
