Tool - Forty Six & 2 (Drum Cover by JD)

Song: Forty Six & 2
Artist: Tool
Drums by: JD (originally Danny Carey)

This would have to be my favorite Tool song, with "The Pot" following closely behind. After having listened to it several times, I figured it would definitely be a fun one to cover, particularly with the weird solo-ish drum part near the end.

*I've gotten a few comments on my videos about how they're not really COVERS, per se, and that's entirely true - I don't set out to copy exactly what the original drummer played; that would be boring! Instead, I just adhere to the basic framework of the song, usually staying pretty true to the original drum part but adding my own flavor here and there. Also, feel free to comment and say whatever you like (even if it's critical), but please try to keep the comments family-friendly!

Hope you enjoy!

@ILOVEHIPPIEFLIPS

Yeah he's a big fan of the Mandalas. I don't have the money or the desire to make any part of my set electronic, so I made do with a Rototom. :)

@SnareSpectre wat are mandalas??

[SnareSpectre]

@347xTOM

They're electronic pads that you can use to program to make different sounds - Danny Carey has several of them mixed in with his acoustic drums to trigger some of the weird stuff you hear on their albums, like the opening of "Eulogy."

@sfboles

Lol, you actually took the time to write all that?!

@Cambodjaman Where is your drum cover? You can't play this song. I have covered this on drums before and I can vouch that this song is difficult, so a few mistakes here and there are no big deal, but to completely diss the whole video like it is nothing close to the actual song is just ignorant and proves you have self-esteem issues. Get your shit straight.

ATTN: Every drummer who wants to play the intro correctly... Play 16th notes on closed hats, ACCENT every quarter note and DECRESCENDO. This is the sound and vibe he sets, and everyone I've seen just keeps quarter note time with their foot.. It's the little things that make DC one of the best drummers ever. ty

The drumkit for the man who can't decide which of his six chinas to hit! XD
