"I'm Daniel Tompkin and this is my Master Class"
@After The Endtimes good joke buddy
awesome lol
One of the most underrated vocalist in the Prog and Djent industry
Underrated just in general my dude ;)
Quite the opposite. In the music groups on FB I seem to be the only one that can't stand his vocals. Everybody else celebrates him like the Messiah of Prog. I think his vox are rather weak and uninspired compared to other vocalists.
Excuse me, underrated by who? Never heard about that.
@@RandomApexLootbox weak? What a joke! 22:24 is a perfect example that his vocals aren't weak. But, as it's the internet, you're entitled to your wrong opinion ;)
@@RandomApexLootbox I've literally never seen anyone hate on his voice, I mean I feel like he's the God of singing, his vocals are so good, fry vocals are perfect, I feel like he's a man that genuinely knows everything about singing, plus he's underrated as fuck.
Polaris by Tesseract is easily one of the best prog albums ever made.
@@liamphillips2918 literally everyone praises altered state bro
@@liamphillips2918 love it too, a work of genius.
one of the best albums ever.
@@irockmajorly Because it's EPIC!
Still waiting for the duet with Ashe...never happen of course.
This dude's voice is amazing. Love Tesseract so much
Edit: after getting to the end of this video, I'm stunned at how good that bridge came out
Ah I see he used the Axl Rose technique "where do we go now?" Lol
Except about 10x more pleasing to the ear
Holy crap, that bridge! I got tingled... I'm gonna listen to Tesseract right now, bye.
It is really rare to see a singer recording and using logic. a rare species to find a singer like him for your own band
Why is that?
@@MaximNikMazin due to the fact that most singers tend to "use" right hemisphere most of the time
Thats why he can swift between styles in his many projects and sounds right in every one of them
Beautiful! Very inspiring too, thank you GG and Dan 😍
I keep on seeing you in the comments section! Great minds think alike I guess, hehe. 😉
@@ChrisS-mk1yr I was about to say the same thing, I see João Meideros everywhere 😂
What a fantastic vocalist, singer, and musician! I remember reading an interview by him from a few years ago where he said he left a high-paying corporate job in order to sing for Tesseract. He said he now makes so little money (unfortunately) compared to his corporate job but that he'd rather make way less money doing music-something that he loves-than what he was doing before. Seems like a really cool guy 👍
I'm a simple man. I see Dan, i click like.
Edit : 21:57 damn. This sounds like Blinding White Noise stuff, this is gold, I WANT MOAR.
Dan is like the ultimate vocalist for me. Haven't heard anyone as accurate live as him
Mike Lessard from The Contortionist.
Petar Pavasović he’s great as well
@@petarpavasovic6333 Mike almost always has issues with pitch, every time I've seen them. And every live video I've seen. Not that they aren't one of my faves but..
@@irockmajorly They are both on the same level as far as live goes (Dan isn't perfect live, and come on nobody is) and studio too. They are both very solid live, both can scream and sing and also write amazing vocal harmonies. Love them both. Not to mention the power and impact of their lyrics.
@@petarpavasovic6333 well, dan has much less trouble with pitch, mostly because his technique is much more refined and proper than Mike Lessard's. They're probably my two favorite vocalists, but Mike has his own unique way of singing that slightly sacrificed technique for tone.
Also, Dan is extremely healthy and that really contributes to the quality of his voice. Don't know if he does anymore, but back in 2015 I encountered Mike after their show and he was smoking a cigarette, which is very restricting to your vocal chords.
Dan is brilliant. Great to see him creating the composition as he goes. Awesome!
Big fan of Dan and Tesseract here. Loved seeing this :) But why isn't his channel linked in the description though? Gotta give the man props y'know? I'm already subscribed to him but still feel it should be there :p
It is though?
@@Riffified it wasn't at the time of writing my last message. Glad they added it though :)
I love Dan's voice, it gives me the chills every time! He just seems to improve with time, but I particularly thought his vocals on Guiding Lights by Sky Harbor were sublime (not to say that the last couple of Tesseract albums weren't amazing vocally). If you haven't checked that album out guys, do so... it's a work of art. Interesting video, thanks!
Wat. Dan's vox on the last two Tesseract albums are sublime.
@@drummerdan95 Which is exactly what I was saying, read my comment again buddy. I agree that he is fantastic on the last two Tesseract albums, but Guiding Lights is his best album vocally in my humble opinion. You may not agree, but that's how I feel.
@@ChrisS-mk1yr i mean guiding lights flows so well with his style of singing i agree, its one of my favorite album of all times
@@ChrisS-mk1yr I agree, I think vocally, and overall, I prefer Guiding Lights to the last 2 Tesseract albums which to me, are suffering from a bit of same-y-ness (technical term there)...I have come to enjoy them, but after One, and Altered State (Ashe did an amazing job!) Polaris and Sonder left me a bit underwhelmed. And honorable mention to Blinding White Noise, Dan's vocals were epic there as well...Celestial, Maeva, Order 66...
@@bootysmaka22 No way! Love all the Tesseract albums. You have a right to your view of course, Guiding Lights is way cool as well but I feel he goes the farthest with the darkest, ambient exotic nature of Tesseract.
i would defo be up for listening back to this a 100 times if it was ever to be finished?
Awesome you put yourself in a vulnerable spot as a vocalist. Unprocessed vocals are so raw. Awesome!
I think taking the high harmony from the chorus and using it as the main in the last chorus would really help carry the energy of the last line in the bridge.
This is so awesome!!! Daniel is one of my favorite vocalist's in metal and it was so cool to see his process documented like this. A+ Gear Gods
I really enjoyed this! Daniel is one of my favorite singers and watching him go through his recording and creative processes really made my day
That is so impressive, hands down to Dan for being so freaking amazing
Love his writing and singing techniques. One of the best singers on the road right now.
Very interesting to see! Cant wait to hear the song knowing how much work and technique are behind it, it's amazing to see. Dan is my fav vocalist.
Thanks for sharing! It’s super rad more people are sharing how the writing process is so different and similar for many different individuals.
Not nut November’s gonna be hard during metal November
what a talented guy. love it. also gives off some really nice and friendly vibes. cheers!
This was so good. Love seeing the process. And now...a band I never listened to is in my rotation.
Can't wait to see the results... I was surprised already when I saw Dan in the video since I'm a big Tesseract fan \m/
that bridge was so sick fuckin hell dan
Look at that Track sausage. Wall of sound LMAO.
17Artk a thicc boi
This was really cool and insightful. More of these kind of videos please!
He's one of my favourite singers 👍 awesome video!
Enjoyed the process immensely. Killer tune Trey!
That performance opf the bridge at the end was absolutely compelling. awesome work as always!
Brilliant video. Brilliant vocallist. Thank you Gear Gods!!!
So beautiful!!!
Tesseract with mr Tompkins. Hell yeah. Really good video
THIS is fVcking GOLD man!! thank you.
It have inspired me to write and sing "again"
Fuck yeah! Some mad skyharbor vibes
Such a crazy good vocalist!
He made one vocal coach cry with just 15secs into the song
impresive mix, master and vocals!!
Beautiful vocals performance. So natural and powerful. And about the band, these guys are one of my favorites.
That little lead line you stuck in the chorus makes that shit so dark! I love it.
Dude...this is a fucking awesome video. Holy shit.
Daniel is one of my favorite musicians.... and a hell of a nice guy!! Along with wry one inTesseracT!
Great insight and vocalist ❤
Awesome video! Super helpful!
He's such a cool vocalist... Love this take
Great video , thanks.
Amazing to see for an amateur grumpy old man who’s trying to learn. Million thanks 🙏🤘🏻
18:23 He vibin'
Awesome!!! That’s the way I roll too! Amazing vocalist👌🤘👌🤘
That last “HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE” FUCKS
Such a great video
Amazing that he can just sing those harmonies.
fucking beautiful!
Thank you very much
Out of this planet, what a talent
Great video
very nice!!
17:02 & 20:26 Oh my days.
Easily one of my favorite modern vocalists. Wonderful stuff.
Man... this is honestly so inspiring. As a longtime covers vocalist who has such massive anxiety about writing my own songs, seeing the actual process and how SURPRISE songs often aren't written all at once, it's a big help, especially hearing someone with a similar more melodic vocal style in a scene engulfed in fry vocals and growls!
Though I honestly couldn't hear that "where do we go" without my brain going straight to Guns And Roses and I'm not sure how to feel about that...
Nice vid! Moooooore!
This was super cool.
EPIC!
I really wish they'd finish the song and make it available.
I need this song finished asap
well it's dan what can you expect? he's so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very interesting, as someone else said should be a series.
One of my all-time favorite vocalists. I have the lyrics of Skyharbor's "Order 66" handwritten by him framed in my studio. EPIC song if you haven't heard it!
12:12, i felt this about the hole song, what saved for me was Dan's vocals..
Kind of standard approach... BUT I didn't think there would be 4 takes of main vocals on that chorus. Interesting to see regardless one of the most talented singers in metal today!
I would pay so much money to have this finished and released
What a great video! Please more like this!
Never really got into Tesseract, but really dug the groove here. Think I'll need to take another listen to something like Polaris that people seem to rave about.
Listen to Messenger and Seven Names 🤘🏻
Messenger and Seven Names are my personal favourites, Dystopia is just madness from start to end and one of the best. Utopia is really atmospheric and eery, tourniquet is heartbreakingly beautiful and haunting, cages is great as it is constantly building and building and pays off big time and Pheonix is just pure class. From beginning to end.
Controversial here, but survival seems to be a fan favourite but to me it does sound very generic and boring. But overall Polaris is such an amazing album and very underrated as far as tesseract album rankings go in my opinion.
Polaris and Altered state (although AS was recorded with Ashe, not Dan) but both albums are stellar.
Oh, so is One.
@@BattleKid619 At first, I though Polaris wasn't as near good as Altered State. But after a few listens, I've started to love Polaris slightly more than Altered State, and I believe the latest is f*cking brilliant and one of the best metal and rock albums that have blessed this decade. Sonder is fantastic as well! Have yet to listen to One, but long live Tesseract.
Altered State is the most “special” of their albums, and Sonder has the best production quality, in my opinion; but yeah, Polaris is great as well and it has the best rhythm guitar tone in history.
One of the best singers in the world, in Rock. Or just in music, generally.
When is the full song coming ? This song is dope
Genius
I wanna hear the full song!😂
Got so much out of this, thank you! I'm writing my own album and have put off vocals for too long since I didn't know where to start. This gives me a much better idea of how workflow should go for vocal sessions.
Very informative and inspires a lot of a confidence in the average person. And I'm not even a vocalist or remotely interested in becoming one..lol cheers,
Thanks GOD
Dan is a pro that's for sure
His vocal consistency is insanity. Waveforms of takes might as well be copies.
НАЙКРАЩИЙ!
ave to say the two riffs dan records the vocals over is phat
I love this man, fuck!
And In Their Mouth Was

Oh Daniel... no need for the pitch correction plug in.
Easily one of my favorite vocalists, along side Rody Walker and Mike Semesky.
Also love the "snap" idea when recording. Great way to see takes that didn't suck visually. Trust me, I won't have many snaps in my recordings. haha
Thanks for the kind words! Yh the pitch correction at that point is just to tighten the take and make sure it makes sense for me. I wouldn't tune every channel as that would be a waste of very valuable time. Once a song is 'written' in it's basic form then I'd start from fresh and track new vocals, which at that point should then be 'learned' then I can focus on performance
@@DanielTompkins I totally get why you did it. I personally use Melodyne on every vocal track I get. no matter how good the singer is. its pure for tightening and slight finesse stuff. I love your approach on vocal recording.
I mean, you've heard this guy's band, right? Clearly whatever minor pitch correction he's adding isn't harming the end product of his recording.
Release this as a cool single?
Very nice. Funny thing, i'm a logic user as well, and i've always wondered why the waveform is so thin when recording audio tracks. It's really annoying. But as long as you have the track scrolled enough down it works haha.
Tillian from DGD next boiiiiiiiiii
Daniel GodKing
Dan got a tan
This is how I do it too
This guys got a golden dojo loach in his fish tank
Then live. Sounds all diferente

Is there a part II ?
That bridge reminds me a lot of Elliot Coleman
