Dream Theater - On the Backs of Angels(Keyboard cover)

[Kivek12]

hey amazing cover! what keyboard are you using in this video? I'm brand new to this and looking to start playing keyboard! thanks =)

[vetkeyboardist]

@Kivek12 I used Korg M3, and now I have a Kronos.

[atzeloh]

Wow! That was awesome! Great cover! Please cover more Dream Theater songs!! By the way, do you know if there's any way to use effects and samples from MorphWiz and SampleWiz in a keyboard? Both are great apps, but the iPhone's screen is too small to use them the right way...

[vetkeyboardist]

@atzeloh Sorry but I have no idea about that

[DaltonicShoes]

Hi!! I really need tips on how to create the chorus pads!!! Mine sound false :( Please, I beg you!

[vetkeyboardist]

@DaltonicShoes You mean the pads when I used at the piano solo? You can adjust that on a "controller/pad" page.

[DaltonicShoes]

@vetkeyboardist Haha no, sorry, I mean the voices, the choral. I think you make your own pads, I want to know how you make the voices so realistic :D

[vetkeyboardist]

@DaltonicShoes I just made it from program mode. You could mix many sounds in combi mode. It hears real because the keyboard is awesome :)

[DaltonicShoes]

@vetkeyboardist Haha I bought the Kronos, but they don't sound as good. I would like to know what did you tweak to perfeccionate the sound ^_^

[vetkeyboardist]

@DaltonicShoes Kronos sound is just awesome, I prefer Classical choir and Ah voice.

[DaltonicShoes]

@vetkeyboardist Hmmm, must be my headphones then. Haha I'm sort of a rookie-intermediate level, but I'm so thankful you took the time to answer me :) Take care!!

[peacemaker3042]

Soon this guy is going to buy a Korg OASYS, keep going!!!!

[Sava12242]

[vetkeyboardist]

@Sava12242 Thanks I'll do DOE someday :)

[rodricav]

Wow!!! 1:23 = shivers!

[vetkeyboardist]

@rodricav Thanks

[pmadsea077]

Nicely done. You nailed it man!

[vetkeyboardist]

@pmadsea077 Thanks man

[motorhead1995able]

what is the effect at 1:29 ?

[vetkeyboardist]

@motorhead1995able That's a mixed patch of choir and string.

[motorhead1995able]

@vetkeyboardist can i get this effect with any keyboard?

[vetkeyboardist]

@motorhead1995able Well, you can find choir and string on your keyboard, and try to mix those. I always make a new sound patches everytime I cover a new song. You should practice to make sound patches.

[motorhead1995able]

@vetkeyboardist i dont know a thing but i want to use this effect in one of my songs

[chricolwould32rock]

1:24 - 1:28 is the part I'm having trouble with. The rest is pretty easy, but I can't seem to figure out that one section. ugh!

[vetkeyboardist]

@chricolwould32rock I think the most difficult part is the piano solo part. You can do it man!!

[Netherfist]

Excellent work, bravo!

[vetkeyboardist]

@Netherfist Thanks :)

[doublekj1]

[doublekj1]

[vetkeyboardist]

@doublekj1 Sure you can, but plz refer my channel when you use that.

[Teramol]

Perfect! Jordan would be proud!

[vetkeyboardist]

@Teramol I hope so. Thanks.

[Snare10111]

My band is covering this song. Any tips?

[vetkeyboardist]

@Snare10111 Don't ignore any notes you play :)

[Snare10111]

@vetkeyboardist Sounds good. I'm a percussionist so thats not new news haha. Where did you get the sheet music for this?

[airllehsreh985]

hello.. do you have a sheet of this.. could you send it..:p

[vetkeyboardist]

@airllehsreh985 I already uploaded the solo part of the song.

[FirePhenom8]

This is one of the greatest musical feats ever done

[vetkeyboardist]

@FirePhenom8 Thanks a lot.

[Halunlimited]

Wow.  Fantastic.

[vetkeyboardist]

@Halunlimited Thanks man. Your Earth Song is great too.

[misterkezo]

hey, you must use iPad for intro :P

[vetkeyboardist]

@misterkezo I'd love to but it's so expensive :(

[MrThefox1998]

hello have you got tips for me because i want to learn this song.

P.S. YOU ROCK

[vetkeyboardist]

@MrThefox1998 Thanks. I'll upload a video with the score for the piano solo part after this video recieves 100 Likes. For else part, you should make your sound patches and compare them to make a good sound.

[IOofficial]

[InfamousPillarKid]

[vetkeyboardist]

@InfamousPillarKid Thanks. I'm glad you like my vids.

[Nigthtale]

Awesome job out there! And first keyboard cover :)

You really rocked it!

Any advice on crafting the sound at @2:10 and the one at  2:24 on my Korg M3?

[vetkeyboardist]

@Nigthtale First, I used a kind of brass synths and some kind of fast synths, then I used fast synths and clav at the second one.

[Nigthtale]

@vetkeyboardist Thanks! Keep posting cover on youtube, you really rock :)

[Jullezka]

You are amazing player this sounds awesome! This song is really good too im going to see Dream Theater live on January =) Have you ever been on their live show?

[vetkeyboardist]

@Jullezka Yeah. I saw their performance several times in Korea. I hope they come here and have a performance soon.

[13procco]

amazing every single part

[vetkeyboardist]

@13procco Thanks.

[siminithen]

3:02 Is amazing:)

[vetkeyboardist]

@siminithen JR made it well @.@

[bengochiva]

What effects you use on morphwiz?

[vetkeyboardist]

@bengochiva I just used preset with modified key-arrangement.

[XXbztianXX]

amazing cover you are so good man

Can I know the notes ???

[vetkeyboardist]

@XXbztianXX Sorry but you can't. That's my policy.

[XXbztianXX]

@vetkeyboardist o0o0o sorry, no problem

[maidenrules13]

this is sooo sick, perfect

[vetkeyboardist]

@maidenrules13 Thanks dude

[Mitzyfher]

Ohh cool so you used the 4layer piano modified

[vetkeyboardist]

@Mitzyfher Exactly

[Mitzyfher]

Yo dude awesome cover!!! What piano preset did you used for the solo?? I have the m3 too

[vetkeyboardist]

@Mitzyfher I used modified preset on M3. I adjusted EQ.

[IMSA28]

do you have a score to this? at least the opening solo

[shadowspy2]

Hey man, great cover! May I ask if you could share the cover without the song in the background? I've always loved the keys in DT and it's a shame they didn't release the stems separately like they did with BC&SL.

[vetkeyboardist]

@shadowspy2 That's ok. Let me know your email address, then I'll send you the mp3 file.

[chricolwould32rock]

Tutorial. NOW.

[Brucesonata]

Awesome cover, you play great man, could you tellme where did you get those amazing sounds for chorus and strings?

[vetkeyboardist]

@Brucesonata I just mixed them saved in M3 as presets. That sounds great 'cause M3 is great. :)

[portnovi]

SPETTACOLO.... :-)

[fenixdeejay]

Glad to know that not everyone plays guitar! :P

[Panhead3409173092]

my adobe flash player just crashed due to awesomeness

[hubertous]

Great work! Piano solo just awesome:)

[vetkeyboardist]

@hubertous Thank you :)

[vetkeyboardist]

@GuitarFulvio1 I like that part too. Thanks :)

[DPtheDrummer]

@vetkeyboardist yeah, Jordan is awesome :D

[max2109remigio]

it's missing effects and bright in the sounds... ( lead and organ)

[vetkeyboardist]

@max2109remigio Could you tell me about that in detail?

[tallicafan250169]

Great job on this! I'm amazed at the speed which you decifered this song, and how well you did so!

[vetkeyboardist]

@tallicafan250169 Thanks :)

[DPtheDrummer]

it's nice . . now i believe that iPhone is a musical instrument . .

[vetkeyboardist]

@DPtheDrummer Jordan made that :)

[leovienne0607]

do you have a pedal that switches the sounds??

[vetkeyboardist]

@leovienne0607 Yeah. That's the same one like damper pedal. But when I record that, I recorded patch by patch.

[rocklee4643]

666th View

Brilliant cover by the way.

[vetkeyboardist]

@rocklee4643 Thanks to watch. I really liked LEGO, too. :)

[rocklee4643]

@vetkeyboardist Cool! :)

[Rafidaq2]

Amazing job! By yourself and with VRA!, this song was covered perfectly. It is noticeable that you thought about all the details to make the cover as accurate as possible and the outcome couldn't be better. Congrats!

[vetkeyboardist]

@Rafidaq2 There are still several deficiencies, but I did my best. I can't do better than that, 'cause I'm not Jordan. Thanks a lot.

[DANGILBERT03]

men awesome work i dont ask you about the score xD haha (good answer) but could you record yourself without the original track its only because i want to cover this piece in guitar thanks a lot man you rock!!!!

[vetkeyboardist]

@DANGILBERT03 Maybe that's possible. Thanks.

[pablillo1109]

This is just great!

[vetkeyboardist]

@pablillo1109 Thanks~

[pablillo1109]

@vetkeyboardist The split screen video with the other guys is even better! :D

[GianfrixMG]

How are composed the patches you're using at 2:09, 2:23 and 4:23?

[vetkeyboardist]

@GianfrixMG 1st one is made up of many fast synths and a little bit string things, 2nd one is also used many synths but different things, 3rd one has many mixed marimba or kalimaba things and orchestra hit at special E.

You know.. that may be helpful, but I think to listen first & to make yourself is the best way to find out sounds.

[EvilSkeltos]

Cool sounds :) what kind of synth is that?

[vetkeyboardist]

@EvilSkeltos I just mixed that. Two or three kind of synth added to string.

[Diegowan]

amazing job my friend!

[vetkeyboardist]

@Diegowan Thanks a lot.

[anibalbastias]

Master !

[vetkeyboardist]

@anibalbastias Thanks~

[anibalbastias]

@vetkeyboardist have scores of that song? ;)

[vetkeyboardist]

@anibalbastias Really sorry, but I won't give that to someone. Please read my channel.

[Niekpas1]

@vetkeyboardist

You don't want to give away the scores because it took you time? How elitist is that?

[vetkeyboardist]

@Niekpas1 Elitist? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

First, That's not about just taking time, I did my work with passion, effort, and my soul, even that was JUST copy other's music. Don't you have any respect for other's works? Why don't you get DT's or other artists' music CD for FREE?

Second, this isn't even my music. If Jordan allow to give my scores, I'll upload that everywhere for anyone to get it. If you really want it, ask to Jordan first, then come again.

[TiagoMorbusSa]

@vetkeyboardist Mate, don't get all worked up, it's the internet, there'll be morons.

That said, for fucks sake man, do YOU play! :D

Congrats on this piece, it's fantastic.

[vetkeyboardist]

@TiagoMorbusSa Thanks to say like that. :)

[spiderfingersaram]

amazing job, got to check your other vids!

you totally rock

keep on!!

[vetkeyboardist]

@spiderfingersaram Thanks man~ :)

Really enjoyed it!

[vetkeyboardist]

@panamanian911 That's my pleasure. Thanks :)

[Dan1loBr]

Hey man! I saw your name on the awesome split screen cover you made!

I was so amazed, because when I came here for the first time I saw your biaxident cover and the quality wasn't tooooo good, and now you're doing these awesome covers so early!

You rock hard sir! :) thanks

[vetkeyboardist]

@Dan1loBr I did my best when I covered Biaxident. If you felt that wasn't good, I wasn't good. Anyway, thanks :)

[Dan1loBr]

@vetkeyboardist it was awesome, but I meant about the camera work, the audio and your skills were awesome, sorry if I didn't express myself well ;)

[vetkeyboardist]

@Dan1loBr Oh, I didn't mind, 'cause I have to improve more and more and more. I'm just a tiny musician in front of JR. haha~

[Dan1loBr]

@vetkeyboardist you're great man ;)
