I'm glad that the time I spend on these little things like tuning is not lost on others. It makes me sad when I see/hear good drummers who don't bother to tune their drums.
@@justsomeguywhowatchesyoutu5550 have the note you want to tune to playing near you while you tune the drum. tune the lugs at tiny increments and hit the drum with the note playing along side. if they are close you will hear a pulse. that is the sound of the frequencies clashing. the closer the notes are together, the slower the pulse. if you cant hear a pulse after slowing it down, youve tuned the drums.
Interestingly, the outro isn't nearly as hard as it sounds. The tom patterns are quite a bit trickier. You want some real contorted stuff, check the Rosetta Stoned polyrhythms.
As a musician that has been playing for over 35 years, I've played with some great drummers, but you sir, are par excellence! Thanks so much for this, the time and effort put forth in learning Danny's part itself is beyond what most people would even attempt, and you nailed it!. Also setting it all up to sound that good, to filming at all the angles, to syncing it all up with the track ...sheeezz.. I'm just blown away ...don't know what else to say, Thanks again!
Steve is absolutely right, thank you kindly!!!, I was wondering johnkew, are you running Battery on your Mac as Danny does? and the tuning waaaaay down to get that particular sound for your 14" tom in the beginning of Lateralus, that was genius!
That was, quite simply, THE best drum cover I've ever seen anyone on TH-cam pull off. I'm truly speechless. If Tool ever loses Danny Carey for a time due to illness or injury, they should definitely look you up.
Dude I've been a tool fan for as long as I can remember. and as a drummer of over 20 years I idolize Danny. His imagination makes my heart flutter. most drum covers on TH-cam are a giant waste of time. I would never attempt it. but you sir are a champion. I think if Danny lost one of his arms they could call you up from the bullpen to save the show! you nailed almost every fill and the fact that you took the time to do all the auxiliary parts is quite impressive. and whoever mixed this and set up the mics nailed it. I love your channel cause you and I have the same taste in music. When this song ended after all the build up I had yell whoooooo! great job dude, I don't say that often cause I'm picky as hell. Do you learn these songs by ear or do you dig up music somewhere?
Totally agree! Danny is my favourite drummer, and watching a cover like this shows even better the extremely difficulty of this song. Good job dude, jelaous about your skill
I'm an absolute pedant when it comes to picking up on all the intricacies and nuances of people doing covers 'oh they didnt play that bit' or 'they missed a triplet on the kick drum there' but this is just incredible. Absolutely spot on all the way through. What a performance.
I've watched quite a few of your other videos and I have to say this is the best - the tone of your instrument, timing, attention to detail, and balance are the best I've seen from you here. Multiple views from me sir.
So jealous right now. I know that was hard work, patience and dedication. Peeling back those layers Danny created to find those nuances within the music is definitely challenging. Played this for years but still struggle with those nuances. Hats off (again) to you brother...by far the BEST interpretation I've seen...and to those 67 thumbs down.....dumbfounded
You look like you're having a great time in this video. This is a great drum cover. Tool are my favourite band and Danny Carey a personal hero of mine. He's a real artist and I thoroughly enjoyed watching and hearing your interpretation of this track and your words about it in the description. Great job, the energy you're putting out there in this video is really enjoyable to watch.
I was listening this song on my way home and I cheked here if there was a drum cover of it because it would be awesome. Well, I guess this hasn't disappointed me. This is completely awesome man, good job.
HOLY SHIT!! To get through that IN ONE CONTINUOUS TAKE with no edits is BEAST mode! Danny is my favorite modern drummer - hands down, and anyone who can replicate his parts as well as you did deserves major recognition. Thanks for the inspiration!! Please post more - the sound and recording is phenomenal.
툴의 노래는 들으면 들을수록 빠져드는 중독성이 있다 처음 접하는 사람은 귀에 붙지않을것이다 하지만 듣고 듣고 또 듣다보면 한곡에 만족하지 않고 툴의 다른곡들을 찾아듣게 된다!!! 툴을 처음 알게된건 2006년도에 있엇던 메탈리카의 한국 공연때 오프닝 무대를 장식햇을때엿다 그땐 별로 맘에들지 않앗엇다 메탈리카에 비해서 너무 심심한 음악이라 여겨졋고 그후로 한동안 툴을 찾지않앗다가 우연히 어떤 노래를 듣게되고 빠져들고 다른 노래들을 찾아듣게되고 급기야 앨범들을 모조리 사버리게 되엇다 툴은 정말이지 내 인생 최고의 밴드가되엇다 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
as awesome as John Kew undoubtedly is, being able to play Tool songs is one thing. Being able to CREATE Tool songs is an entirely different kettle of fish. From what I have read, a lot of Tool songs are based are rhythms that Danny lays down first.
I'm a 55 year old man and been a metal head since I was 13 in 1975 (Sabbath, etc.). You are one of the most amazing drummers I have ever seen in my life. How do I see you live? I am about to call a few friends at 12 midnight to tell them about you! UNFUCKINREAL!!
Why can I only give this one thumbs up? There needs to be exceptions made to TH-cam in cases such as these. The precision, timing and effort... just wow!
Danny Carey is an incredible drummer, and this cover is top-notch. High five! Also, I'd like to say how awesome it is to see you having so much fun with the heavy part at 4:00. Sometimes the slower parts can be the most fun to play.
Danny Carey lives within you. If Danny Carey had to be our for a tour, you would be the first replacement. Your drumming has more feeling out of any drummer that I have ever seen. You send chills throughout my body. You're the best drummer on TH-cam. Cheers.
Wow! There are no good words other than truly epic to describe this cover! Incredible job and the comments below comparing you with Danny are not too far off; mad respect!
So....10 years later--still beautifully fkn amazing. The precision, the passion, the perfection. Unbelievable. You may never see this but I hope all is well and you're still being wicked 😁🙏👌 Thank you. 😊
That kick drum roll that comes in first at about 1:20 is killer. The way it sounds as the speed ascends is probably my favorite thing about Danny Carey's drum work.
Johnkew Tool Vids - my new favorite TH-cam rabbit hole. Jeez, sir - freakin' KILLED that one. I love your attention to detail - the left foot percussion as a perfect example.
Absolutely magic! You work with the triplets throughout the entire song are absolutely amazing. You both inspire and make me want to quit drumming at the same time! Phenomenal work!
I was in the mood to listen to TOOL as I was working and as I finished Grudge, I wanted to see who else had done a drum cover of the song recently. There are some decent videos out there, but after not being satisfied with the lack of effort and quality of work of the others, I remembered I saved your video in one of my playlists. After watching is a dozen more times tonight, I'm convinced there isn't anyone who can pull this off and masterfully as you have done 11 years ago. Good stuff man! Good stuff indeed.
8:23 always sounds faster when Dany plays it but considering how long this song is I can forgive all drummers for not having that last bit of energy to really explode on that part. Great job as usual.
Absolutely brilliant! Danny Carey would be proud. He could still steamroll your arse, (lol) bur he would definitely be pleased. Great camera work as well. Cheers to whomever did the recording for you. Thanks for sharing, I personally learned a great deal watching this as well as some of your other clips. Well done. Keep them coming. (subscribed)
@@Usuario_4373 I felt more passion in this video than the entirety of the drumming for And Justice For All. I'll take John over paper-drum-trashcan-snare Ulrich any day.
Wow. Holy shit. Im a long time Tool fan. Over 15 yrs and holy shit this is an amazing cover. Best I have seen and I've been watching almost every video. Well done man
I'm glad that the time I spend on these little things like tuning is not lost on others. It makes me sad when I see/hear good drummers who don't bother to tune their drums.
How can I tune my air drum?
@@matmirza5376 hahaha nice one🤣
I'm a better drummer than a tuner🥺 I just don't know how to tune
Would you tell me why is your cover of Reflection down?
@@justsomeguywhowatchesyoutu5550 have the note you want to tune to playing near you while you tune the drum. tune the lugs at tiny increments and hit the drum with the note playing along side. if they are close you will hear a pulse. that is the sound of the frequencies clashing. the closer the notes are together, the slower the pulse. if you cant hear a pulse after slowing it down, youve tuned the drums.
That ending is unbelievable
Watch this guy: th-cam.com/video/vMXFZrfXX20/w-d-xo.html
It really is. He nailed it
At certain points it looks like the recording is sped up, but he and Danny are just so god damn fast.
The Grudge has got to have one of the most difficult drum outros in existence. I commend the shit out of your skill mate!
Heard Pneuma before?
Interestingly, the outro isn't nearly as hard as it sounds. The tom patterns are quite a bit trickier. You want some real contorted stuff, check the Rosetta Stoned polyrhythms.
@@storm7empest No, he didn't hear of Pneuma 3 years ago.
It didn't exist by then ffs.
@@Dennis19901 yes i am aware
@Teeth Bison I was aware moments before I has sent the comment, and I was too lazy to delete afterward
Danny Carey is a fucking genius.
He is a percussion scienctist.
@@billgonzo116 indeed!
Thanks so much for leaving this awesome feedback. It really is humbling to drum along to Carey's drumming.
than u in the contrary since i can only do the vocals
10 years later, here I am still loving this. Wherever you are dude, keep killing it
Maynard stepped on a Lego at 7:08
+Sam Y I suppose at the end he's saying Lego, Lego, Lego, Lego, Lego, Lego, Legoooo!!!!!!!!!
One of the best screams, ever.

This killed me

Haha, thanks for watching!

It's currently 530am and I can't stop watching either.
frickin' algorithm, this guy's been out there this whole time and they've been feeding me parkour videos for months...
me too mannnnnn

That was an amazing comment. Thank you for sharing.
@@johnkew nice job on your tool grudge drum cover
That was, quite simply, THE best drum cover I've ever seen anyone on TH-cam pull off. I'm truly speechless. If Tool ever loses Danny Carey for a time due to illness or injury, they should definitely look you up.
Thanks man - you're too kind, and I would never compare myself to Carey's level, but your encouragement is very much appreciated.
Although indeed great cover, its one thing to do a cover, but to invent this is a whole new ball game.
Every single one of his Tool covers are annoyingly flawless. Such talent
How this doesn't have a million views is beyond me. What a fucking cover!
The original only has 4, that prooves how stupid humanity is.
Because the young men like rap, trap or other´s shit´s, only artists can recongnice this kind of music!
Danny Carey is a monster. There is no way to make his frenetic style look easy, but you do it flawlessly.
DC has nothing over you thanks
On behalf of all TOOL fans, thank you so much for doing this
best The Grudge drum cover.
thanks
8:22 O_O
I hope that drumset is over 18...
Thanks so much - that end always stood out in my mind too, and it's so much fun to play.
The explosion at the end of the song of the grudge feelings, the grudge itself released, it's amazing and it has been well executed here! Compliments!
Holy fuck
Yup, still the best out there 10 years later. AceS John!
That ending is one of the most brutal, intense and raw moments in music history. It's a freaking workout!!!
Just when you think you've heard it all... that ending is out of control!!!
Incredible ferocity and precision. I can't wait to see more.
i never get tired of watching this... unbelievable!
Thanks man, I'm always blown away by people who get chills from the video - it's the same feeling I get when playing it.
4:50. What the... o.O
+Doc Pus Dat heel toe !
is that the ol bonham bass triplets?

That bass drum crescendo, that scream, that outro...
8:09 I've mentally and physically been trying this part for about 3 years and i still just cant. Help?
I am not a drummer but I love JohnKew's attention to detail! The tone, the feel, the fills and the tunings!!!!❤❤❤❤
Holy shit dude! This was awesome. The best drum cover ive ever seen!
Wear the grudge like a crown 👑
8:09 on, perhaps my favorite drum "solo" ever. Way to go dude.
Dude, this cover is fucking flawless...mind-blowing talent

I go to TOOL show to watch Danny C. Dude, I could watch u do this song all day. Well done.

Just absolutely mind blowing. You have got some crazy talent, Man. Thanks for uploading this. It was a joy to watch.
The way Danny composed is pure art, and you mate, totally caught it and nailed it. Awesome!
Doing a difficult drum cover is great, but making one of it is TOTALLY ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL. Danny is one hell of a genius

툴의 노래는 들으면 들을수록 빠져드는
중독성이 있다 처음 접하는 사람은
귀에 붙지않을것이다 하지만 듣고
듣고 또 듣다보면 한곡에 만족하지 않고
툴의 다른곡들을 찾아듣게 된다!!!
툴을 처음 알게된건 2006년도에
있엇던 메탈리카의 한국 공연때 오프닝
무대를 장식햇을때엿다 그땐 별로
맘에들지 않앗엇다 메탈리카에 비해서
너무 심심한 음악이라 여겨졋고 그후로
한동안 툴을 찾지않앗다가 우연히 어떤
노래를 듣게되고 빠져들고 다른 노래들을
찾아듣게되고 급기야 앨범들을 모조리
사버리게 되엇다 툴은 정말이지 내
인생 최고의 밴드가되엇다
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
well...tool knows what to do if daney carey ever dies or quits.
They'll split up and stop creating.
Tom Atans didn't they already?
Christopher Jones no they just take 10 000 days to make a new album
HAHAHA!!! You're awesome.

HOLY SHIT! As a 31 year drummer and a very large TOOL fan, you my friend nailed it! Well done sir
awesome dude no words , just wow , great work , detail , perfection, a hug from Chile...
12 years later and this is still the greatest thing i have seen on TH-cam!
Someone, for the love of god, needs to have this mans babies asap!
Good sir, you are a freak of nature. I don't know how you did that, but it was an absolute pleasure to watch, and awesome to hear. Kudos.
Very good technique. Excellent cover. Much props. Very nice kit too!!

Why can I only give this one thumbs up? There needs to be exceptions made to TH-cam in cases such as these. The precision, timing and effort... just wow!
Man you actually nailed that outro, shit must be so fun to play
The best The Grudge drum cover! The ending was flawless, I am truly in awe. Congrats man, you are excellent!
Crank it up my friend - I worked hard on the mix for this one, so it should sound good coming through the loud speakers :-)
I get goosebumps every time I come back to this cover. The ending is INSANE
The relief on his face he finally finished his one take... 👌😂
Bloody excellent! 👏

Man this song is a workout, and I'm just learning it on bass. Your rhythm and counts have to be on POINT or you're fucked.

In Danny Carrey's drumming the dynamics are very important and here they are!

That ending, my god🤯. It’s one thing to hear it but it’s another to see someone actually play it and kill it. Great job man!

Absolutely magic! You work with the triplets throughout the entire song are absolutely amazing. You both inspire and make me want to quit drumming at the same time! Phenomenal work!
The outro is even more difficult than I thought, well done!
There isn't a single 10 second part of any tool song that I could play on drums lol
You're absolutist astounding! Few drummers can play Tool with this magnitude.

He did the recording himself, he's got a bunch of go pros and cameras, one is on a pivoting tripod above his toms, you can see the cameras.
Never gets old. That roll at the end is gold
When asked what is the hardest TOOL song to play, Danny said The Grudge for physicality and Invincible for trickiness. This guy nailed both! 🙌🏾
Just watched that clip of Danny saying this one was the hardest, which is what prompted me to look for someone covering it and 🤯🤯
