sorry to say this, but you might want to practice your timing in 5/8 a little more. you can tell your not relaxed playing this song, good attempt though! keep it up
To Nemesais & 101Zorker: Wow, sorry if my post did not come across well. As I said, I think the cover playing is outstanding and that this could pass for any great player including Vinnie. The audio on the videos on youtube is not always the best so I'm sure in his actual mix, it sounded unreal. I simply made some suggestions that have helped my playing especially on difficult songs like this. Did you read "great ,great work"....what part of that did you guys not get. It is a fantastic job. OK!
Do you have a CD or MP3 with A to B repeat? If not get one, now! You can loop any sections of the song and play them over and over especially the transitions. For the haters out there, with proper mixing and miking this cover could pass for any top notch drummer on the market. You captured all the essence of the drum groove throughout. Great great work. Do try to watch DVDs of the greats to see how relaxed they are. Make sure you are aware of your breathing tendencies while playing. Relax, relax
@Golfforme Bro... 30+ years of drumming... I don't know who you are, but if you are gonna give advice to someone as pro as this, who probably has been playing for longer than you've been able to talk, you'd better have something to back it the hell up with, if not: then you can suck his sweaty nut sack.
Hey Bro: Great job! This song is not easy that's why Sting hired Vinnie. Try to pay attention to dynamics because that is the only thing I heard lacking. Catch some videos of Vinnie and see how he is totally engrossed in even the most simple beats. I've set up my kit like Mangini and play everything leading with left or right hands or feet. I switch up during any tune I play. I also have an aux left pedal to play perc parts (tambo, clave, etc.) My independence and ambidext have skyrocketed.
@ThreeNoobFilms dude the thing that makes this song hard to play is not the speed, how everything comes together and the two different feelings of rythm in the song makes this really hard to play. And I love the fact that you covered a song like this one, a different style than all the tool and slipknot songs you covered, although I really love tool and danny's drums I think it's important to know how to play a song like seven days. great job!!!!!! I'm a fan of your covers :)
i would say that the beat in the verses of this song is actually pretty easy for being 5/8...its the fills, the small off-beat details and the chorus which is so damn ball-crushing hard! really gj, one of the best covers ive seen on this song!!
I think that the difference is that you have different style of playing than that which is required for this song and thats the reason you find it harder to play than tool or slipknot who you cover perfectly.
I am literally laughing at all these ppl saaying "terrible.." You'd have to be a total and complete moron to not understand how HARD this song is on drums.. I know it on guitar and its a piece o cake but the drums are terribly complex . Good job!
Stumbled on this looking at Tool vids. Thanks for introducing me to Vinnie and Sting's work. An amazing piece that sounds deceptively simple but isn't. Keep the vids coming. Love your work.
Great job man! Have you seen the Joe Crabtree explanation of this song here on youtube? You've got it 99.9% down. Joe used to have the whole song posted, but now I think he has it in his website where he does online lessons. Awesome job! Big props bro! Have you ever been to the house of drumming website? You should check it out. There's lots of unreleased Vinnie clinic stuff there. Check it out.
Excellent job man. I agree that this is a tricky song & you rocked it. Judging by some of the comments, there's way too many haters/critics these days. But what's ironic is you don't see them posting response videos of them playing it themselves. Hmm...go figure. Anyway, kudos to you on this performance.
@thegrasman1 it is both, two measures of 5/8 equal one measure of 5/4. by how the hi hat goes, it is in 5/4. and this song is not that hard, it's great though, a coverable song. haha! this is very messy by the way, it is not relaxed at all.
What books or dvds or anything that teaches technique for drummers would you recommend? I am so tired of sounding like the untought slum kid with a drum set that is out of tune and old. Please, what would you recommend to help teach technique, and I cant get a tutor.
q malo, no esta ni cerca del swing y la onda que le pone Colaiuta....
en algunas partes se le va el ritmo y mete golpes de mas...hace las pasadas de toms muy metaleras....en definitiva no me gustó. Son pocos los bateros q tocan bien este tema y le dan la onda q realmente tiene.
Very good buddy. Don't you just love the quiet energy of this drum piece? It has a gradually building intensity to it, which you caught. I remember the first time I heard it, I didn't even let the cd continue until I heard it a couple more times. I love this kind of drumming
i was sitting there watching tool videos of other peoples covers....and got pissed off....i saw some of yours and was like "thank god someone who can keep a beat..." then i saw this video and freaked out!!!!!! this is a great cover, all of yours are. im not very fond of the sound of your kit but your playing makes it still great to listen to. thanks for your time and effort.
its not the idea weather Vinnie is "Better"....The awsom thing about music is...every musician brings something special to a song! Nice job! you have a very nice approach to the song...you made it your own and you are not trying to sound like Vinnie! Bravo!
You look like you're having so much fun playing. I cant wait until I get to the level you are at. Both insanely accurate and you dont look like you're struggling whatsoever. Freakin aweome man keep it up!
sick shit !! Tbartels007 is the most versatile and accurate drummer on youtube... and just after him... drummerdbrown21... they just love the same drumming that I do....
not that it'll change the way you play it, but it's 5/8 mate.
the phrase carries across the bar, in the accents, so that the high-hat resolves every two bars. it's on every other count: ONE two THREE four FIVE one TWO three FOUR five.
but, like i said, that's just about phrasing. it doesn't really change the way you play it.
Man you did a good job but seriously you need the groove the feeling of that music not because its 5/4 it is because that isent a 4/4 rock if you played like that it will be sound horrible seriously practice more groove songs but hey man great job
You too! You should upload some more songs, I would really apreciate Disposition by Tool. Pretty awsome song, it's like Reflection with that relaxing trance inducing vibe. But only 5 minutes long.
nice cover but to me it sounds a little "heartless" because i didn't get the feeling that you got the rhythm to groove but that's very hard to do in this song
also i think it's noticeable that you play a lot of metal but as i said still a great cover
you play well and with non mistakes this hard 5/4 tempo with the hi hat in 4/4. If i can say, it lacks the style of the song. you're too aggressive. the fills are hard rock style. but anyway best compliments this is a difficult song for drummers..
Real nice job on the grove brother, this is a very tricky song & thought you did a fantastic job. The off beat of Sting & Vinnie C. is some of the hardest technical pop stuff out there. Loved your work on the Tool & Slipknot. Gotta love Joey J drumming, I have his signature snare and love the sound & feel of it. Keep Rocking bro ~JerZ~
You´re playing very nice! Nice sense of Groove...yet you´re playing much more Notes than needed and that tends to make the Groove very shaky! This Song is all about Groove...play it more relaxed and less Chops! More Feel! Now it sounds like the Song is a bit over your Head and Playing Ability...
RE: "the hi hat pattern is way off ,and i do believe in this instance it is necessary ! plus the fills were way off !" -- I don't think he was going for a note-for-note copy. I think his interpretation was marvelous, and the tom fills & hi-hat work were very creative and well-done. Kudos! Why bother covering a song if you can't put your own style into it a bit?
Sorry but you cant judge everyone on one game and when a song is mentioned from that game then obviously i play/own that game?
Wrong i dont like rockband. I sold my guitar hero because it was a waste of my time, and I dont listen to music other then underground or semi-underground Metal anymore. So dont fucking judge people based on a fucking game.
I've always been a fan of your work and i'm always intrigued by your drum covers. It's difficult to really criticize seeing as how I can't even drum this well- even so- I never here a single beat missed. Very good work, and keep it up. Your a huge inspiration i've drummed for 4 years and hope to reach a level somewhere near yours in the future. Keep it up!
I still find myself, a year later, coming back to your youtube profile checking to see if you uploaded any new gifts for us, and watching some of your Tool Vids. Thanks again 4 sharing, and keep up the outstanding work.
Sooo awsome man.. I comment here cause can't on Tool covers. Tool is my favorite band and I rly like the way you're playing drums.. Awsome fills everywhere... and look at this video quality.. Awsome man.. all what I got to say
Jeez.. listen to the rhythms he is playing before posting. Just because it isn't your style of music doesn't mean it isn't good. Great job, fantastic stuff. I love watching your videos, keep em coming :)
very nice job you should have more publicity. Very nice song as well. Don't listen to people who just want you to play metal. Your taste in music is very diverse good job!
hes a lot fuckin better than you fuckface, get a life, y do u feel the need to publically atack people just to gain notority on your own level, thats unfortunate
that was beautiful playing and if anyone think it was bad they can go post their own video of playing this so we can all talk about how bad u suck at life. i think this man has done very well with what he loves doing and if u dont like him go shove i knife in your eye :).
wow, although I don't play the drums, I wish I could play like you. When it sounds right to the ear, it is good... to me it sounds just like to record.
First off, I think this is a tasteful and enlightening rendition of Colaiuta's playing. Second off, do all of you arguing against this man's drumming even know HOW to play drums? I've been drumming for years, mainly within the ska, reggae, and jazz genres, and I found NO flaws in this man's technique. So unless you all have legitimate criticisms, as opposed to the vague complaints you are currently tossing around, please, kindly shut up and enjoy the song.
i have watched you do this song 40 times in the last 3 days......amazing..... your a very good drummer..... i found you finding TOOL covers believe it or not...... very cool song bro!!!!
Your general feel is all off, you're making it out harder than it than it really is - not that Vinnie isn't a master, but you barely 2 stars on this one bro - for at least recognizing the great drum work of Vinnie on this song. Stick to the blast beat, doom metal thrashing neanderthal stuff for the little kiddies. ;)
yes... because your use of the word hubris obviously makes you infinitely more intelligent than anyone else here. If you're so good then post a video of your cover of this song.
Confused? LOL! Hardly. If you think it was "brilliant" so be it. I think it was an example of a drummer lacking the understanding and a developed technique to play Fusion/ Jazz style rhythms - something some fan viewers (metal heads) are too juvenile to even perceive; I did rate it 2 stars for an honest effort.
For those whining about my comment like little boys, if you can't handle a little honest criticism, then you need to grow up.
If you claim to know about Fusion and Jazz style rhythms, you should point out concretely what is the problem with this man's playing with regards to those style rhythms. You need to say what he did wrong and what is the correct way to do that. Then it'll be more beneficial for both parties.
Ur kit def. looks like the one from Vinnie in the orginal video

I've always been a fan of your work and i'm always intrigued by your drum covers. It's difficult to really criticize seeing as how I can't even drum this well- even so- I never here a single beat missed. Very good work, and keep it up. Your a huge inspiration i've drummed for 4 years and hope to reach a level somewhere near yours in the future. Keep it up!

I still find myself, a year later, coming back to your youtube profile checking to see if you uploaded any new gifts for us, and watching some of your Tool Vids. Thanks again 4 sharing, and keep up the outstanding work.

4.5/5? compared to ticks and leeches which is longer and harder i find it hard to see how this song is of equal toughness. Perfectly done tho :0

It's tougher cause of all the rhythms going on at once. Great cover.

In all fairness, Ticks and Leeches has more things going on; however, this song is still a challenge.

Lars Ulrich is a bum.
He should come watch some of tbartels' videos, maybe he could learn a thing or two about technical playing.
Or just go back to collecting art and playing tennis, seems like a better fit for him anyways.

First off, I think this is a tasteful and enlightening rendition of Colaiuta's playing. Second off, do all of you arguing against this man's drumming even know HOW to play drums? I've been drumming for years, mainly within the ska, reggae, and jazz genres, and I found NO flaws in this man's technique. So unless you all have legitimate criticisms, as opposed to the vague complaints you are currently tossing around, please, kindly shut up and enjoy the song.

Your general feel is all off, you're making it out harder than it than it really is - not that Vinnie isn't a master, but you barely 2 stars on this one bro - for at least recognizing the great drum work of Vinnie on this song. Stick to the blast beat, doom metal thrashing neanderthal stuff for the little kiddies. ;)

yes... because your use of the word hubris obviously makes you infinitely more intelligent than anyone else here. If you're so good then post a video of your cover of this song.

I actually thought this was a brilliant interpretation of his song. Maybe you were confused by the tuning & miking of the drums?
kumichoo 2 years ago
Confused? LOL! Hardly. If you think it was "brilliant" so be it. I think it was an example of a drummer lacking the understanding and a developed technique to play Fusion/ Jazz style rhythms - something some fan viewers (metal heads) are too juvenile to even perceive; I did rate it 2 stars for an honest effort.
For those whining about my comment like little boys, if you can't handle a little honest criticism, then you need to grow up.
theaggravator 2 years ago
If you claim to know about Fusion and Jazz style rhythms, you should point out concretely what is the problem with this man's playing with regards to those style rhythms. You need to say what he did wrong and what is the correct way to do that. Then it'll be more beneficial for both parties.
