[TheDarkcrow99]

as a drummer, this song gives me nightmares (:

[therevengeofficial]

[CherchezLaGhost]

Nice work!

[dansgirlang]

THAT WAS SIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[MrFunkymonks]

[noisiamoiquasivivi]

[Thencamethechaos]

[o48Mike]

@2:47 -> The fuck just happened there?

[sigma804]

hey man nice work, i was playin this at last band practice on my drummers kit and he said i was playin it wrong haha i was playin it just like this, nice to know IM RIGHT!!! so thanks.

[mrfreedomthomas]

how challenging was it to do a song in 7/8?

[8P1NK15FloyD90]

great job dude:)

[joeysnotcr]

:) attaboy!

[halopolice]

You seem to be missing a few hits on the snare during the opening chorus. It might just be that I can't hear them due to your camera's quality but, I seem to recall that there are a few more Snare hits than you have.

[xCursedManiacx]

@halopolice maybe you should do a cover of ticks and leeches and show us how its done?

[ThrowMeFromTheSky]

The best drum cover I've found on youtube. Great work

[GodofReapers]

This is a WONDERFUL interpretation of the song. Great job!

[MrMB258]

Hey man nice freakin work with the cover!!!

just curious as i wish to learn it aswell, what tab did you use?!?

[PhantomMaster]

@MrMB258 Thanks!! I didn't use any tabs, just learned it by ear and watching other people do it!

[BassDemolitia]

@PhantomMaster And thats how its done. Much props from one musician to another!

[IFreakingEatPeople]

holy shit. not tryin to sound like a dick or anything but how old r u? and also ur a fucking pro all day

[PhantomMaster]

@IFreakingEatPeople Thank you very much! =] I'm 20!

[092261100]

sooooo fucking like it!!!!!!! u should have a thousand likes!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PhantomMaster]

@092261100 Haha, wouldn't mind that! And thanks, really appreciate the support! =]

[bredding1203]

Great Job man! You have great groove. Even Danny said this was one of his hardest songs to play!

[PhantomMaster]

@bredding1203 Thank you very much man! Ya it's a hard one remembering everything and getting those polyrythms air-tight!

[xCursedManiacx]

Great job Bud

[PhantomMaster]

@xCursedManiacx Thanks! =]

[iWentToNam]

nice

[Martegon]

You did Danny proud

[drhbettathanu]

I was really confused for about 5 seconds.. then I realized you are left handed.

[thebeat42]

No accents, but other than that, amazingly done! Was a treat to watch.

[FOBsucksgayguys]

I love that black paiste cymbal also that tiny splash

[jambi99]

You cheat, you don't play they accents or just don't play them at the right place...

[PhantomMaster]

@jambi99 'Cause cheating means not playing it flawlessly of course...

[HaloVidz1]

@PhantomMaster yeah, and i highly doubt jambi99 can play it flawlessly. you did an awesome job, this cover rocks

[Hutty1616]

fuck... absolutely disgusting how perfect this is.. my jaw dropped at about 45 seconds when you rocked the shit out of the double kick.. i then proceeded to get a boner moments later at 55 sec

[buraky133]

great!

[XanderRoseberry]

Dude, amazing. I love your set-up.

[MrTenDays]

Dude... thats just freaking awesome!!!

[cmrosscmross]

My god how did you get that so perfect? You're on another level man! How old are you? Nice to watch a fellow lefty. Amazing !!!

[MansonFan64]

hot damn. Nuff said.

[Power2theFlyingV]

JOIN MY BAND! JOIN MY BAND OR I KILL YO FAMMMERREEE!! ....or at least do some drum covers to some of my choons :p

[hunterW1134]

It's drum covers like this that make me go: WHAT. THE. FUCK

[PODERBLANCO65]

If it's not the rudiments, it's not hard. The rudiments MAKE it impressive

[needlearmor]

fantastic!!!

[inkbullets]

0:45 -> Godmode activated

[MShepherd88]

Wow man, that was about as close to perfect as anyone could get...excellent job.

[OwnedRL]

the drums in the first and second verses are my defintion of "badass". that fucking hi hat shit gets me off.

[PhantomMaster]

@OwnedRL Thanks man! Yeah its those subtle parts that make it!

[balerinauzicka]

@PhantomMaster aw...fuck you man....too good.

[TheAAXplosion]

jeez! i really like that 8" tom :) lol, do you tune your reso higher lower or the same as the top? and how did you tune to get the pop out of your snare? thanks

[PhantomMaster]

@TheAAXplosion Thanks man! I tune the reso on the toms pretty tight, a bit higher than the top of 'em so there's not much of a decay! I tune the snare as tight as possible reso and top to get the pop.

[littlegldgti]

ur left handed - Thats Great!! :-D

[PhantomMaster]

@littlegldgti Sure am haha, thanks!

[cardanger]

nice that was sweet man!

[PhantomMaster]

@cardanger Cheers!

[4oh4]

Wow, Nice! The last half of that song is killer.

[PhantomMaster]

@4oh4 Thanks! And yeah its intense!

[L4ng3n]

Well done, keep up the good work!

[urbanguerilla09]

Damn! that's gotta be rough.. how about some rush covers!

[Amorphous333]

I really like it, your playing is great!! only your cymbals I don't like^^

your playing is so precise, this level of perfection is really seldom here on youtube ;)

[TheDave1000]

You, good sir, are made of awesome!

[TheReverend777]

Your snare sounds awesome! nice cover

[Nikqogregg]

this is one of my favorite tool songs.

i love seein people attempt this song.

you are the shit my man.

whats harder?

[TheAAXplosion]

are those max stacks? if so what size?

[sergioDGO]

Amazing, so clean, congratulations.

[PhantomMaster]

@sergioDGO Thank you!

[coasternut3091]

You're a Lefty!! Don't see too many of those.

[PhantomMaster]

@coasternut3091 Haha yup, we're a rare breed!

[Moiez101]

That was freakin amazing!!! OMG... the drum set is just beautiful with so much variations and the drummer does it justice.

[PhantomMaster]

@Moiez101 Thanks for watching and commenting! Appreciate it!!

[Moiez101]

@Moiez101

lefties rock! i'm a lefty bassist. too bad we can't jam sometime. a lefty drum and bass jam.

[rdblackl]

fuckin awesome

[PhantomMaster]

@rdblackl Thanks!

[drummr0]

dude your fuckin amazing, props mang

check out my ABRB cover

[Zybezane]

Pretty good. How long you been playing?

[PhantomMaster]

@Zybezane Cheers! 7 years at this stage!

[Zybezane]

@PhantomMaster Cool, I been playing 10 years, 16 now.

[Kozlen]

too many bass drum notes on intro before the hi hat / double bass parts, makes it sound bleh

[PhantomMaster]

@Kozlen Really? Hmm don't think so!

[Kozlen]

yes really

kick notes follow the bass line exactly until he uses double bass

[PhantomMaster]

@Kozlen Yeah I'm doing that, it kinda looks like the single pedal is goin' crazy but thats just it bouncing back and forth, I'm only landing them on the bass notes.

[dannycarey13]

@Kozlen thats true

[mehlliont]

holy shit man every single time i see a video like yours i wish i could have my own drum kit and make some magic haha

[PhantomMaster]

@mehlliont Haha go for it!

[mehlliont]

someday my friend you will be the first to watch my video..lol

[Menelyagor12]

bad asssss!

[PhantomMaster]

@Menelyagor12 Cheers!!

[Agugasek]

Świetna technika, stary! :D

[glg20decoy]

WICKED man! great job!

[PhantomMaster]

Thanks man!

[AMusicLegacy23]

Oh Gosh!! a lefty! lol it's so weird watching lefties play but it doesn't matter good cover this song is so much fun to play IF you can figure it out and you did! or at least most. Danny Carey might throw some stuff in there that we just don't notice.

[PhantomMaster]

Thanks! Yeah there's alot of stuff that I just had to play over and over again to make sure it was what he was playing, but learned it by ear so I'm sure there's bits I missed. Luckily there's plenty of covers of the intro on YT so that was ok, but the drum solo part was hard to figure out!

[harvesterofsorrow111]

Good job!! not perfect but hey even god himslef couldn't play it like danny 5*

[PhantomMaster]

@harvesterofsorrow111 Thanks! Haha yeah, t'was an absolute nightmare to remember all the parts, not mind all the crazy subtelties!

[harvesterofsorrow111]

hahaha I saw you said t'was and checked if you're Irish hahaha you're from Cobh hahaha I'm in UCC atm and I live in Cork City hahaha brilliant!! small world huh lol

[XxSharkBatexX]

Hell's bells!

[imacellphone]

Nice job, just try working on the accents on the hands in the intro...every time the bass goes you should be accenting your toms as well

[PhantomMaster]

@imacellphone Cheers and thanks for the advice!!

[stuntmcnuggt]

that's insane man

[PhantomMaster]

@stuntmcnuggt Cheers!!

[Lateralus138]

As someone below said, not as effortless as Danny, but you do him justice... I'm sure you how much of a compliment that is seeing he is by far the best drummer that has ever existed (sorry Neil Peart). Great job bro.

[PhantomMaster]

@Lateralus138 Thank you very much man!! Really appreciate this (and for subscribing!), took alot of painstaking hours to learn this one so I can definitly see what you mean about him being the best drummer, haha! And this is just one song, dunno how he keeps up all the mental stuff for an entire gig. Insane. Thanks again!

[Lateralus138]

Mental and physical... although he's not a small guy like. And he makes it look so effortless... it is an extension of his body and mind so it flows through him. I have a feeling whatever he does with the occult is part of it. Mathematics is certainly a big part of it... It is my pleasure bro.

[dontsponge]

sic brah! keep on doin ur thing and get a record deal or somethin. way danny!

[PhantomMaster]

@dontsponge Thanks man! Haha I wish, maybe someday!

[goom360]

fucking yeaaaah!!!!!!!

[Ninjafruit123]

You're drumming sounds great, I love the adrenaline and I love the creative fills. Sounds BETTER than the song, great job man.

[PhantomMaster]

@Ninjafruit123 Thank you very much!! Haha definitly not as 'effortless' sounding as Carey, took so much concentration to get through this!! But much appreciated!!

[Ninjafruit123]

@PhantomMaster Yeah Carey's insane, but I did like it better than the original beat man, well played.

[ramiroortega1991]

Look bro, I don't even know how to play the drums, so maybe this won't mean anything to you... but you fucking blew my mind. I love that song, but I never knew how complex it was until I saw you play it. Your drums sound sooo awesome, I literally didn't blink for a second while you drummed. I'm really impressed, congrats bro, you played the hardest song on drums (is it?)

Anyway, you should show it to people and record their reactions and upload it, ha ha.

Really, pretty virtuoso cover.

[PhantomMaster]

@ramiroortega1991 Hey man, very grateful for your positive words!! Cheers. I don't think its the hardest, as infact there was even a few other Tool songs I considered until I realised how ridiculously hard the drumming was in them, haha! But this was definitly a super-difficult song to get through!! Thanks again, really appreciate the comment and support!!

[Anonymous122131]

took me a second to realize you were lefty... and ... dammmn dude.that was hella solid. some of the less skilled drummers i know try to play this, completely miss the accents, and leave out the hi-hat steps... so on and so forth. this was very good. i like it a lot. nice snare tone, very carey.

[PhantomMaster]

@Anonymous122131 Thank you very much! Appreciate that, yeah I tried to get as close to the original, although as a result its not quite as tight. Cheers for commenting!

[svenskcanadian]

Very well done cover!

[PhantomMaster]

Thank you very much!

[EVRO123]

LEFTY!! haha that was very intense and completely insane

[drewswms]

fuck dude. that was insane

[PhantomMaster]

@drewswms Thanks!!

[auroblade15]

did you use a double kick pedal for this? i would like to know because i would like to try to play this..great cover and i like your other covers

[PhantomMaster]

@auroblade15 Thank you very much, cheers for checking out my videos! Yep, used a double kick for this one, pretty intense, prob the most difficult aspect of the song, although alot of the song uses only a single.

[PhantomMaster]

Thank you very much, very grateful for that! Haha, coincidentally, my newest drum vid is an A7X tune!

[Mastodongg]

Goddamn man. Your vids need so many more views than received.

Great job.

[PhantomMaster]

Thank you very much, really appreciate that!

[Mastodongg]

Love the originals as well.

[PhantomMaster]

Thanks for the comments guys!!

[post2post36]

love your snare, its nice and sharp, and just amazing playing

[lifeinthalberg]

Wow very nice Barry. come drum for me ... ? lol

[inkbullets]

0:56 YESSSSSSS

[slisenberger]

this is beyond impressive. amazing.

[KILLLLswitch93]

danny's masterpiece. this song is beautiful on drums. must have been a bitch to learn.......

[oiklesercles]

Would love to see some more Tool covers. Lateralus, Forty Six & 2 or Stinkfist (with the solo he does live) perhaps? :)

[PhantomMaster]

All sound good to me, will definitly do another Tool drum cover in the future.

[pinataman820]

1:13 sounds like a DnB beat. love it!

[rednotch91]

That was FANTASTIC!!!!

[maaxHTD]

Nice

[mattcleary85]

Great job, sir.

[Trgamemas]

What is the cymbal you hit at 0:19?

[PhantomMaster]

That would be a 8" Paiste PST Splash...Quite cheap but not bad!

[Trgamemas]

Yeah it sounds real good. I must have one =]

[somedoodles]

noice!!!!

[jhsquirrel]

How did those polyrhythms treat ya, Barry?

;)

Check out the crazy pattern about half-way through Forty Six & 2.... \m/

Awesome cover

[Thinchap]

Awesome Job dude, a great cover !! My only piece of advice would be, space your kit out a little bit more !!! Your arms look really cramped and I think they could do with some breathing space lol :D That's not a criticism before anyone disses me, just a personal observation :)

[PhantomMaster]

Cheers man! Haha, I think thats just what I'm used to at this stage!! Doesn't feel cramped to me, just what I automatically play like I guess!

[Crazy3189]

this is one of your best. gonna take some beating...

[banman2]

You are god.

[streather]

That was fucking impressive, Well done sir.

[PhantomMaster]

Thanks for all the comments guys!! Much appreciated!

[PMagazineLoS]

You got some new cymbals, rly nice =)

[f150high]

amazing!!

[domacadin]

fucking awesome man

[Dexterity64]

more tool covers please!!!!!!!!! i love you for just even trying

[Rolynpwns]

My ears are having an orgasm. Well played :P

[SativaSamurai1]

one of my favorite songs, and one done justice to.

[tomanater00]
