[rinconcatracho]

[iTomAnks]

@rinconcatracho "All of the parts were recorded with the H4n internal mics."

[nobreath181818]

I love you for making this dude... serious bromance im talkin here.

[hpfan9]

This is fantastic.

[andrewsmithify]

hey evan. i have a question for you about recording here. i know you use the zoom h4n in this cover, but have you ever tried using the internal mics on a drum kit, without any other recording device? if so, how did it sound, and where was it placed? I was just wondering as i'd like to start using a h4n to record my own drum covers, or cut some rough demos with it, drum-wise. hope you can help me out here if you have the time.

anyway, great cover as always, great touch with the glasses!

[ballobalram]

Crazy creative!

[gpeddino]

This is amazing. You rock.

[cknollmeyer]

I watched this and my jaw dropped instantly and remained there until ten minutes after the video ended, I realized I had been drooling like a vegetable. Not to mention, this was immediately after watching the BBC Orchestra perform "Doghouse". Well done, sir.

[trueaudience]

That glass thing you did at the end is creative and amazing, what can I say, I put this in my favorite. ;-)

[matthewkirk27]

This is incredible. Good work!

[iamfrantv]

great stuff man! keep it coming!

[ysmnthelight]

@PixellatedFaces Thank you very much for the compliments! All of the parts were recorded with the H4n internal mics. That is a great sounding lil' contraption. :P

[mrdibbs]

brilliant! The h4n really captured that well. Great cover!

[bajuriphd]

most AMAZING and BRILLIANT cover version of Kid A, no disrespect to all major label artist eve done before..this is the best of it, even without vocal

[OnionLink]

And now, even though it is 2:22 AM, I am going to listen to the album in its entirety for the umpteenth time.

[OnionLink]

WOAH, you uploaded this on my birthday. It was the gift I never saw until now. So brilliant.

[MeForWords]

I salute you, good Sir. This is simply AMAZING work. Captures the feeling and mood of the song perfectly. I am at a loss for words. There's really only one thing to be said: THANK YOU.

[4mayZing]

you win, sir. you win.

[dangerousjord]

Fuck me, this is amazing!

[senomar0101]

i love you.

[carouselambra7]

so great!!!!

[shigureseditor]

Amazing!!

[LinoStudios]

As a mallet percussionist, I seriously appreciate what you have done here

I learned those chords on the vibes once upon a time, glad to know someone put them to good use to show the world how amazing percussion really is

[ThisIsAlvinCarrillo]

This is really awesome. Thank you.

[2DM]

One of the most beautiful things I've heard.

[TheDrummerKick2]

INCREDIBLE. So glad Incredible was one of the reaction options. Thats what this is

[EdwardWhelan]

Hands down the best Radiohead cover I've ever seen.

[jaron87floyd]

Favorite!

[TheNikrya]

Great cover!! What mic is it that you're using??

[scargotofficial]

@TheNikrya i guess its a Zoom H4n

[DaKIM511]

you are the MAN!

[jfullerw]

Awesome vid. I think theres some static on your vibe part though.

[PhantomOnTheHorizon]

This needs to go onto Dead Air Space instead of that Paranoid Android compilation we've all heard a zillion times.

[TheKeara1221]

evan, this is seriously amazing! i cant stop listening! :)

[octoberdays]

D= ...I am speechless... I officially do not feel worthy of talking to you... (Formerly a feeling I reserved for the likes of Thom Yorke, Johnny Greenwood, etc, themselves). I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work on this project Evan. It is truly a magical work of inspiration.

[BloggerMusicMan]

You've outdone yourself. This is amazing.

[summerj0711]

and 3:09 was so cool i almost died

[summerj0711]

ps i think you're cute.

[summerj0711]

<3 . incredible, evan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thefatpiggytail]

This will be my childern's lullaby

[EmptyChannelIsEmpty]

This guy is a fucking boss.

[DeadLTBow]

Wow this is awesome, I'm also a percussionist, and I was wondering if you had sheet music for any of the mallet parts? :) Great job.

[mGabriel0]

One of the best Covers that you've ever done. I was amazed when I listened to the glasses. Now I have no doubt that you'll be one of the most viewed artist on YouTube, it's just matter of time. :)

[Cazaq]

Boy was that a treat.

[Fun4est]

Dang that was sick!! The crystal glass part was amazing! I would have never thought of that haha. Great job :D

[codenameislaurie]

Beautifully done and edited so well, and the glasses were a fantastic touch.

[until2025]

download link?!

[ysmnthelight]

@until2025 There ya go. :] It's in the description!

[Splendliferous]

Wow! And this came out today, this is amazing.

[enjoi4486]

what. the. heck. that was so cool!

[crazymatts5]

3:07 thats just sounds amazing, any tips on achieving that sound?

[ysmnthelight]

@crazymatts5 Hey man! As you can probably tell from the video, it just took a bit of experimenting with glass size/amount of water/part of finger/speed. I tuned to each pitch of the chord by changing the amount of water in the glass, and had to use a couple different glasses to hit some of the pitches. After that, it was basically just trial and error to see what made the best tone. You should try it sometime, it's fun! :D

[BennyVengeance888]

You. are a genius. This was beautiful! If you have, i'd love to see some original stuff that you've composed!

[alltogetherseperate]

This is absolutely incredible Evan. One more time again I am in awe of how beautifully all of the little parts came together. I'm at a loss for words, but I can say that I think you need to do more of these types of covers. Although I do enjoy your tasteful drum covers, these are simply gorgeous!

[AlexGoodwinDrums]

When I saw 'percussion cover' I though, mehhhhh. But WOW! this is freakin' incredible!

[Tister42]

... damn :)

[Isorash]

I wish you were my drum teacher.

[tonyhenson86]

Wow! This is awesome, man! Very creative

[lolh4x]

Perfect Evan. This is absolutely amazing. I wish I could say more, but I'm speechless.

[Kealohalani123]

You are so perfect. This is amazing. :]

[dwjames]

this is brilliant!



[CaesarSaladX]
