the drummer is in college now from what I have heard, he was also the one who made this song choice, the vocalist is in a band called Saving Escape, she also did a cover of Tool's Sober not too long before she aged out of the program, as well as a pretty unique take on The Pot, her voice really shined on that
I'm 2 months behind with this comment, as I'm new to your reaction cast. But the drummer of Tool, Danny Carey, is actually a collaborator in this foundation. Specifically geared toward helping kids to have a chance to experience music, interact with instruments, and recieve quality courses. It's all about keeping the spark of new life and passion in the music arts. We take it so for granted, and when we do we lose quality. These kids are blessed, for sure💞 All the vids are worth a look🙌🏼 (teen group covered Slipknot recently, drummer wearing a Tool shirt🤘🏼😁🤘🏼)
The singer kills it. She sounds like she will have a great older voice. You begin to the genius of Danny here, it takes 4 kids to handle the percussion Danny plays on this song.
"She sounds like she will have a great older voice." Have you already seen this? Would be a treat if you haven't (it's her final song with the music foundation - she's like 17 or 18 I think): th-cam.com/video/oYEXeW94z5A/w-d-xo.html Edit: Oops, had the wrong link (now updated)
The singer and a couple other ppl in this video formed a band named Saving Escape and they have original music now that is good. Check their song “Get Mine”.
One of my favourite Tool songs! Saw them at Download 2019, loved it. I was the only person in my group of mates to see/wanting to see them haha. My first and probably last time seeing them, unless they tour the UK again, post Covid. Great cover!
The way this music academy works is each kid that does a certain amount of time there gets to pick a song they want to do for a group collab like this. The drummer is the one that picked this song. And he does an amazing job on the drums. The girl doing the lead singing is Kala Scarpinski. She has her own YT channel now. At the time of this video, I think she was 11 if I remember correctly. And she is a hard rocker girl through the core. She does other types of music too, but she loves hard rock and her idol is Lzzy Hale from Halestorm and she has publicly said that she wants to be the next Lzzy. She also did a cover of Tool's Sober with this music academy several years after this one. Think she was 16 or so at the time of that one and she learned how to play guitar in that 5 year span. This entire group of kids killed this performance, but Kala is amazing by herself and has become the biggest star so far from this group.
These are students of music at the O"keefe Music Foundation. There are other videos of students ,in this music school / Foundation here on TH-cam . O'keefe Music Foundation channel.
Personally I think that Tool's "sound" is exemplified by the Drum/Bass lines ( Maynard and Adam are also outstanding ) , so you could just see the drummer and bassist eyes just light up when someone first said " for our next project we're going to do a Tool cover " .
Not only are they smashing it, many of those parts are considered hard by lifelong players. The drummer from Tool is a drummer's drummer, the stuff he writes sounds good to any ear but drummers tend to be slack-jawed when they first experience Danny Carey just because of the creativity and technical difficulty. For that kid to be playing that part fairly well is impressive.
I know this is a lot late. The O'Keefe Music Foundation is a non-profit organization in Ohio the teaches music to kids that would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn. Also, the drummer was the one that picked the song they performed.
I can't tell you guys how many times I've seen this, but damn that drummer killed it!!! They all did an amazing job. This video also got sent the band themselves, and Maynard (the lead singer of Tool) mentioned how the whole band just loved it. A recommendation: There is a live play of their song Pneuma, made by Vic Firth, the company that makes the drum sticks. I highly recommend it, as you get to see drummer Danny Carey's technique during a live performance of the song. It's absolute madness watching his skill on his drum set! Loved this video, guys, and I can't wait to see more! Cheers from Oklahoma!
This song was requested to record by the drummer. The Bass player was supposed to be on guitar but switched over to bass when the bassist wasn't able to show, is what I've heard. The foundation uses Tool and a few other bands for time signatures since they vary though out the songs. As far as I can tell from all the videos on their site. I would bet they have requests at the start of workshops for upcoming recording dates. It's how most schools I know go about it. I do have to say though, this foundation is the best I've ever seen. Hats off to the O'Keefe family for all that they do.
O'Keefe music foundations other video's oh man you guys are in for a treat, They cover some really great music, Also if you like this check out a duo group called 2 Cello's
This was 7 years ago now...little Kala on vocals is now all grown up and is now 19 I believe...search O'Keefe Crazy Horse, which is a Black Label Society cover she did vocals on last year! Damn that voice!!!
MORE MORE MORE O'Keefe Music Foundation reactions!!!!!! Kala Scarpinski (Kala Rose) is her name, and she is 19 now I think. There are many more OMF videos with her. Her first was Chain of Fools (Aretha Franklin), which according to Aaron O'Keefe...a young 10 year old little girl came to OMF, and he was blown away, it is a must watch. More favs are...Pull Me Under (Dream Theater), Sober (Tool), The Pot Version 2 (Tool), Crazy Horse (BLS), which was her final OMF video, and The Longest Day (Iron Maiden) which is my personal favorite...the entire arrangement puts the original Maiden song to shame. She also has an acoustic song posted under Kala Rose,...Spoke in the Wheel, by Black Label Society, which is hair raising. Her band is named Saving Escape, and boy are they good.
This is in my #UpliftingInspiration playlist & gets played on the regular. Tis indeed a thing of joy. :) For a bunch of teenagers to pull this off is properly o_O And props obviously to the engineering & production guys to capture this, & mix & master so well to come up with a polished end result. The teen drummer tho, getting the spirit of the thing so close to what Danny does in the original, trying his arse off while obviously close to his physical limits at the time.... what an absolute #SpiritAnimal !! :)
oh Ive seen these kids before. theyre incredible and amazing what a good vocalist they have there. she sounds amazing , always remembers me of lacey sturm in her early days with flyleaf.
I know we're just blokes, hangin' and jokin'. But a little prep? To add flavor to the reaction? Other than fell asleep or the girl looks like my niece or whatever. I'm out. Stayed 6 minutes. It was too long
I'm a hardcore T00L fan but other than this, we do not need more T00L reactions unless you're digging back to Opiate or something.Danny Carey is in my top ten as a drummer - he did something with kids too.
Not seen you react to it, but may have missed it while going through alot of your videos but a good song to react to would be "The sidh - Iridium". Its like celtic/electro/metal music its amazing and they play the bagpipes in it too! Think youd enjoy it! Loving this channel and slowly making my way through all your videos, especially like the Slam metal ones too!
You guys should check out Dan Bull "Civilization Rap". It will blow your mind. Dan Bull is amazing. I'd also check out the ERB's he was in as well he played Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter and he played Winston Churchill vs Theodore Roosevelt.
Well, if you haven't heard of TOOL, you should def. do some of their songs. They are amazing! Best band around these days, in my opinion. Check out "Schism" for the start. A bit easier as other songs to jump in. Go with audio only and maybe pull up the lyrics on the phone or another window, because the original videos are very distracting from the music. Greets from Germany!
Great reaction guys, but now you've got to do some Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer... or just about anything with Maynard James Keenan! Looking forward to the content, Cheers!
All of you should have listened to the original song before listening to the kids. The kids did the song better.. hands down! You should listen to the kids covering You Could Be Mine by Guns N Roses and No More Tears by Ozzy.
Haha, yep I second this request. Seen that years ago and it still cracks me up. If Chris Farley would have been a drummer, I imagine it would have been something like that.
I know that sounds rude, but I don´t see the point when three guys who did not know neither the band Tool nor this song are commenting about a cover done by very talented kids
Whatever. I could do better in my sleep. Of course I'd be asleep and dreaming of coming even close to how well they do it, but still! Don't kill my dreams. And every time I see kids killing it on a great rock song I wanna go watch School Of Rock again.
I don’t think people even realize how hard this song is to play on drums, that kid was 13 then, truly impressive!!!
The Time Signature they all have to follow is insane! These kids nailed it! Please do a reaction to the original so you know how Amazing they are
I think everyone does, mate, you're not as special as you think you are.
@@NefariousPorpoise You win lamest troll evah.
My man destroyed.

That’s good because asking any drummer to cover this song, kid or not, is really mean.. He’s really impressive.
Saving Escape is good. Get Mine is a good song of theirs.

never heard of this before, thank you for the heads up
Man the drummer is killing it.
their version of Pull me under by Dream theater is on point if you ask me !
Definitly do this one!👍🙏🏼
I agree....
@@madonbarma2531 they reacted to it a cpl days after i commented
@@jthemachine7635 noice....
Pneuma (Live) is the best drumming you will ever see. Do it, now!
It's definitely not Danny Carey's magnum opus. I'm not a hater but the whole Lateralus album is Danny's best work.
It's a high quality vid, but it's not Tool's most difficult song to play.
It's brilliant to watch, though.
The singer kills it. She sounds like she will have a great older voice. You begin to the genius of Danny here, it takes 4 kids to handle the percussion Danny plays on this song.

Bassist is also wearing a Periphery shirt, what a guy!
Yes!!!!!
That drummer is my spirit animal. He's got a bright future ahead of him. His passion is undeniable.
The singer and a couple other ppl in this video formed a band named Saving Escape and they have original music now that is good. Check their song “Get Mine”.
the singer Kayla, now has her own band "Saving Escape". Her last performance with OKM was Black Labels' Crazy Horse, well worth watching
PINK FLOYD + LED ZEPPELIN + RUSH =
🔥TOOL🔥
Some of those kids had been in the program for years. There are many great covers from this foundation.
the kid on drums is giving me lifee
Check out the black label society cover by these guys! She is insane now.
I sent this video out when I first heard it and no one picked it up. Soo glad to see it appreciated now. Thank you
One of my favourite Tool songs! Saw them at Download 2019, loved it. I was the only person in my group of mates to see/wanting to see them haha. My first and probably last time seeing them, unless they tour the UK again, post Covid. Great cover!

Everyone raves over the drummer and singer, but in my opinion the bass player is the real champ of this song.
He was the most rock star. Comfortable enough with his instrument that he had time to also practice his Rockstar stances.
Personally I think that Tool's "sound" is exemplified by the Drum/Bass lines ( Maynard and Adam are also outstanding ) , so you could just see the drummer and bassist eyes just light up when someone first said " for our next project we're going to do a Tool cover " .

The drumming is technically difficult, the majority of the other instrumentals are fairly simple throughout the entire song.
I feel like this is the same little girl that sang pull me under. Her band killed it like they are so talented
It is.
you guys should reactor to her sing crazy horse! she's all grown up now and her voice is awesome.
That drummer has a YT channel where he drums and does other stuff.
The singer is Kala Rose.
The rest I haven't really seen around.
Great cover and these kids are really good, The damn Drummer was killing it!
Little guy on the drums is INSANE
46&2 is more incredible when you know what they're referring to.
Watch "The Pot by Tool Version 2 / O'Keefe Music Foundation" for more. This track does a great job of showing how her voice is developing.
I know this is a lot late. The O'Keefe Music Foundation is a non-profit organization in Ohio the teaches music to kids that would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn. Also, the drummer was the one that picked the song they performed.

One would reason that hearing Tool first would make for a better reaction
You should check out their version of Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast"
O'Keefe music foundations other video's oh man you guys are in for a treat, They cover some really great music, Also if you like this check out a duo group called 2 Cello's
Aaron O'Keefe does a great job with these kids. From classical to metal, it's all there and they are all fantastic!
The song is so haunting in a childs voice.
This was 7 years ago now...little Kala on vocals is now all grown up and is now 19 I believe...search O'Keefe Crazy Horse, which is a Black Label Society cover she did vocals on last year! Damn that voice!!!
The drummer (Curtis I believe) requested they do this song.

Watch Pnuema Live by Tool... no need for stereo... puts the drummer up front and shows you how talented they are as a band. Amazing performance!
Can we appreciate Carl Jung in this? Incredible just like Maynard! ❤ so many don’t understand the lyrics or philosophy of this song. So so deep!
Fell asleep same at lollapalooza during Soundgarden and woke up just in time for Rage and Metallica. I didn't miss much.
Also, if I played this well at their age, I'd probably be dead now.
This is in my #UpliftingInspiration playlist & gets played on the regular. Tis indeed a thing of joy. :)

Don't know what they are called but that kid was rocking those sticks! Peace
She sings Crazy Horse many years later. Check it out.
Best cover is Reign in Blood by Slayer and these kids all restore my faith in the future of music
Incredible innit? Lol I’m an American pokin fun at your accent. Good reaction vid ya cahnts
How can you do this reaction without listening to the original???
Agree. Pretty lazy
I know we're just blokes, hangin' and jokin'. But a little prep? To add flavor to the reaction? Other than fell asleep or the girl looks like my niece or whatever. I'm out. Stayed 6 minutes. It was too long
Humanity still has hope after all...
Vocals are a liiiittle shaky, but you can hear how she’ll grow into her voice. Pretty cool.
The vocalist (Kayla Rose) does Janis Joplin very proud too!
Drummer was crushing it
The drummer is on a level
Don't stop here...check out more of the O'keefe Music Foundation. These future stars never disappoint.

Do the drum cam for the song Pneuma by TOOL
Okeefe metal foundation..is from Kentucky USA
Long time viewer now subscriber - certainly worth listening to tool in stereo. Worth listening to in any manner compared to not at all however.
Stick kid the MVP
drumming to any tool song is extremely difficult with all the time signiture changes.
Rotr! Final day,final band, I passed out too! I should have taken the acid I was offered. Lullaby 👅

I think Bruce would be very proud of Kala Rose. :-)
I thought it was nice of the bigger kids to let the little girl join in
The drummer is great
Check them out now with their cover of Crazy Horse by Black Label Society.
You need to react to CRAZY HORSE It was the last song she sang for them she 17 or 18 but she killed it.Thanks
All of you should have listened to the original song before listening to the kids. The kids did the song better.. hands down!
You should listen to the kids covering You Could Be Mine by Guns N Roses and No More Tears by Ozzy.
Talented youngsters!
No IceJJfish ... but 👌🤭
Must do orbit culture. They are from Sweden 🤘
Was not expecting vocals. These kids did a great job.
