Aaron Funk himself said in a magazine that he saw this and said it was the most accurate drum cover of any of his songs. So the original composer even agrees that this is spot on.
Yogev Gabay yeah it’s on my 1TB HDD so I’ll look for it. But yeah I saw this cover and was at Guitar Center in the Synthesizer section and you know how they had all those magazines well Electronic Musician interviewed Aaron on what he thinks about music and who’s influenced him and then was asked if anyone’s covered his songs and you and Mike Glozier were mentioned and he went on saying that he’s seen many covers but you and Mike were the only ones to hit every note precisely spot on. He of course used his silly wording because it is Aaron Funk lol.
@@YogevGabay not for nothing, just trying to help... it's "stoked". Stocked means that the shelves are full :] Like I said, not trying to be a jerk. Just trying to help. Great Drumming :D
I think it's absolutely amazing that after he just fucking broke the sound barrier, playing with inhuman accuracy for 4 minutes straight, he fucked up his stick trick at the end.
There are many Aphex Twin / Venitian Snares / DnB break-beat drum covers in the wide world of TH-cam, but this if by far the cleanest, most accurate, confident and well-shot/recorded I have ever seen. Congratulations!
This is inhuman! Unfathomable! The rhytmic patterns are ridoculously complex and should be impossible to immitate with such accuracy. I am in absolute awe.
I was given a drum set at the age of four/five. Didn’t pick it back up until high school in the 1990’s, and have played in many bands since. My brother introduced me to VSnares in 2000, and I became obsessed. I created the artwork for the album, “My So Called Life”. All that being said, I am in absolute AWE of your skills and talent with this performance!!!! You are an inspiration to myself and to drummers everywhere. I’m grateful to have found you in this small world we inhabit through the VSnares-connection!
OHHHHHHHHH man thanks so much !!!! I LOVE Vsnares and this album specifically has been a long time favorite. I think I'm gonna work on another track from there, i feel like it's time. Stoked you like it !!
Just got 'that intro of the art of dying' in my recommendations, saw it, got interested, checked out your channel for more, found this, got really impressed, immediately subscribed. Keep up the good work, you're a great drummer and music theorist!
@@YogevGabay You prove that stick tricks don't prove anything haha. you should hit Vsnares up on instagram and ask him about live drumming if you haven't!
This is genuinely one of the most impressive feats of drumming i have ever seen. Ive been binging your Meshuggah videos and found this. This is absolutely astonishing hahahah 10/10
You definitely win the "human vsnares rendition" contest in terms of getting the groove of the track. Amazing work! There are other videos on youtube of drummers attempting vsnares tracks but i think you got to the heart of it the best.
A whole exposition about clipping. AND a drum cover of one of my fav Venetian tracks. My dude, you have just become one of my top YT channels to follow! Keep it up!
its all about renoise, once u crack the code its not only fun to make beats like this its effortless almost, get into the program get some good amen break samples , go into sampler mode cut that shit up, then rearrange in the tracker. you can do alot with that program its really really groovy, add in a drum machine to break up the monotony and boom your golden
@@Gabriel-mw5ro renoise has a very cool tracker or "piano roll" as its somtimes called. it has feature which is really helpful and cool for jungle electroinc music. in its sampler you can splice up asample of say a 20 second drum clip. it then auto maps all those splices onto your keyboard so you can easily enter specific keys in your tracker that let triggers different parts of the sample. if you get really good ay understanding rhythm of the genre you can, you can triger all those breaks and it will seamlessly playback to you. its a little hard to describe in words but thats the best i can describe how it works. just alot of room for customization and effects and treatments also . just the way renoise is setup makes alot of other trackers and drum machines obselete just how easy the workflow can be . but i like to combine those chopped up samples and put into my mpc and i also use pro tools in combo with renoise. but its all good shit.
To get all that right, only to drop the stick at the end - but honestly, that was a spark of humanity and made everything preceding it better. Thanks for this labor of love masterpiece, you're amazing!
I've loved Venetian Snares for a very long time and I never thought I'd see anything like this on TH-cam. This was INCREDIBLE, what a performance my guy
@@YogevGabay It would be an absolute pleasure to have an entire album of your renditions of similar styled music. Or even better, an album of your own creations in a similar fashion of genre. I would play it 24/7. In all honesty. Would you possibly have interest in Collaboration?
@@YogevGabay well over an amount of two decades I have been using vocal expression, and manipulating through various hardware equipment. But, recently via means of software and technological computer programs. I enjoy the infinite variables the vocals can produce. I always felt the need for addition of percussion would really open up the possibilities.
Wow, that was absolutely flawless! I couldn't tell you how many times I've listened to that track, and apart from the roll before the muted cymbals every single hit was right on target. Amazing
I like when I watch a video for (what I think is) the first time ever... Go to click the "like" button, and discover that I've already "liked" it. Lol. Don't remember how long ago I saw this, but it's still mind-blowing!
I saw this like 2 years back, and yesterday i discovered your Meshuggah dismantling lessons - show. Your channel goes to the top of my favourites easily. Good job.
Since this album came out, I always wanted to hear it be played live with a good drummer and a symphonic orchestra. Now that I have found both, I only need to convince them to do it... Aah I'm too lazy.
amazing!!! when you learned this, did it inspire you to come up with crazy and creative drum parts for gigs/writing? i imagine that once you learn to play something this unusual and interesting, it must open your mind to hearing drum parts a little differently
Oh totally. Because you have translate machine drumming to actual sticking and patterns, and because I wanted to be as close as I could, I came up with some ideas I still use today, 6 years later!
@@YogevGabay found a Ludwig backbeat on the marketplace for 300$ (never played) gonna throw some new heads and cymbals on it, figured it'd be a decent set for a beginner.
@@nihilitycreation oh I love that kit. I have it as well. If you get new heads and tune them properly, it'll sound great ! And yeh, it's been a tough period, but I'll be back making videos soon !
wait you just gave me an idea for my kit ! even though i dont have 2 hi hat stands i can still set my second hats up and have closed hats for this technique - broooooooooo bro bro
I am a guitarist. I cannot fathom how ridiculous this is. I don’t know some of the techniques he used and I don’t know the names of them. This is absolutely ridiculous and on/past the level of Tigran Hamasyen. I’m stunned.
I first came to you channel to find how to count Meshuggah and later found this. Now it makes sense how you can be so accurate in teaching rythmic patterns. You are a fucking machine! No pun intended.
Aaron Funk himself said in a magazine that he saw this and said it was the most accurate drum cover of any of his songs. So the original composer even agrees that this is spot on.
Cable Vamp really?! Damn!
Do you happen to have a pic of that?

Oh yeah man, I'm leaving on Friday and I'm SO stocked! It's gonna be epic.

8 years later this still goes hard
Thanks !!
Nearly 10 years and this is still the best drum cover of VS's deranged music.
And almost 20 years later, that album is still one of the best albums ever produced
There are many Aphex Twin / Venitian Snares / DnB break-beat drum covers in the wide world of TH-cam, but this if by far the cleanest, most accurate, confident and well-shot/recorded I have ever seen. Congratulations!
+Sam Chaney this one is basically perfect, but the gentleman cover by mikeglozier is insane as well
If you want to know this kind of music that has those weird time signatures. It`s called: Breakcore.
Aaaaaaand, with the latest replay ever, thanks!
I like the mike glozier ones too ❤
Not only precise, but this has a confidence and 'feel' that drives the whole performance.
Maaaan, thanks a lot!
It is absolutely beyond me how you could learn and play this incredible amount of non-regular notes. Hats off!!!
Thanks man it was INTENSE for sure! Things you do when school is boring.
This is inhuman! Unfathomable! The rhytmic patterns are ridoculously complex and should be impossible to immitate with such accuracy. I am in absolute awe.
Ohhhh thanks man! Glad you've liked it

This is STILL 100% my favourite drum cover ever!
Ahhhhhh thanks man!
What a vulgar display of power! Inspiring!
Shut up and take my Vinnie Paul!
Those snares sound wonderful!
I love the addition of multiple snares. V-snares loves him some snares with multiple tones.
Could we get a track with just your drums??? that would be amazing to hear.
Agreed
and rip
Yup
here on my weekly rewatch, this is such a good cover!
I envy any drummer who can cover venetian snares
This was very very hard work indeed. Thanks!
@@YogevGabay how long it took you to learn it?
@@dahmerbundy8704 Transcribing it took a long time, but practicing it took maybe 3 weeks? something like that.
@@YogevGabay Awesome skills Bro😲
This guy and my mate used to play venetian snares drums with a stick on bicycle lying on the ground
Just got 'that intro of the art of dying' in my recommendations, saw it, got interested, checked out your channel for more, found this, got really impressed, immediately subscribed.
Keep up the good work, you're a great drummer and music theorist!
THanks a lot !!
A testament of skill.
I love how he didn't catch the drumstick at the end lol all that immense precision
#fail hahahah
@@YogevGabay You prove that stick tricks don't prove anything haha. you should hit Vsnares up on instagram and ask him about live drumming if you haven't!
@@crackthefoundation_ oh man, you're right! That can be sick! And the most time consuming thing I'd ever do :-)
I love how humanizing the end of the video is
I come back to this every time I just want to feel blown away
Man thanks a lot!!

pretty sick how complex just a single vsnares track is. some years he released 3 LP's lol.
sometimes more

@@RedNosePitbullMT45 Can you elaborate? As far as I could tell Renoise is simply another DAW. Are you implying it's easier to create breakbeats on it?

Found this video thanks to Monsieur Funk himself! I'll definitely becoming back to this video from time to time. Awesome job.

Ohhhhhh thanks !
This is completely insane. It is spot on! Very well done!
i´ve been watching this way too often. definitely not something you play after a six pack and a couple of spliffs. much respect.
+Kai Johansson
Thanks man! Means a lot.
And yes. You can't play this high. But a friend of mine listen to this when he was high. Daaaammnnnnnn
+Yogev Gabay Listened*
This is one of the most impressive displays of skill that I've seen in a while.
I've loved Venetian Snares for a very long time and I never thought I'd see anything like this on TH-cam. This was INCREDIBLE, what a performance my guy
Thanks a lot !!
I never get bored of this. And as much as I enjoy Venetian snares, I really enjoy this version for the sheer visual entertainment.
Thanks a lot mira!

fantastic playing. you're better than 95% of these popular youtube drummers
Thanks bro!
Stumbled upon this looking up the original for a project, this is mighty clean and controlled, well done
dear god. Do another pls
This is just an unbelievable work!
Awesome this is so great
That was absolutely nasty 👍🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
God, that's absolute perfection !
Thankssss
Fenomenal
Simply incredible.

This is unbelievably well done. Thank you for this.
Connor Hagen thanks a lot Connor!
Amazing!! One of the most inspiring drum videos I've seen lately.. Any plan to share/sell the transcription?
Thanks alot!
Sure, just send your e mail to my inbox and ill send it to you
Ja man!!! BRUTAL NICE!! WoW!!!
incredible skill exhibited not only in the drumming but in the engineering.
So ON spot.
Extremely musical and with brilliant technique!
Just bought my first drum set. Found your channel, and seeing a Venetian Snares cover. You sir have a new fan! Awesome job.

just did my around 100th watch, love this, spot on
Good lord! Love this track! Great cover dude!!!!
God damn, that main snare!
Beautiful stuff
solid, plus that ride on your right has such an elegance to it.

INSANE! WOW

Great performance!
This. Is. Amazing! An absolute pleasure to watch and listen. Congratulations!
Thanks a lot!!
why i so like it? it's pure pleasure

pretty much, makes his essay on meshuggah authoritative.
Your nailed it face at the end is wholesome.
This is one of the best drum covers I've ever watched!
This is unreal, dude.
ive been watching this in the background, on a playlist on autoplay.
It was only at 3:01 i realised this was real acoustic drums
Bravo!
Thankssss
incredible!!
Wonderful execution
