Drum playing reminds me of engine work - loud, precise, perfect in every moment of it's function, without any unnecessary movement- perfect machine. I admire your work.

Funny that you say that, because the first thing I imagined when I heard this song, is the train from Snowpiercer. This massive, unstoppable behemoth of a machine ramming through ice formations and constantly going forward without stopping or deviating from its course. It's like a never-ending clanking and banging of an unstoppable machine. It's such an awesome song. I think it's my complete favorite surpassing Lethargica and Electric Red even.

Everything about this cover, especially the toms was perfect.

Thanks dude! We all know Troy is certainly a beast. That Koloss medley of his is damn impressive. I'm happy with how I approached this cover, but honestly I have no idea how Tomas Haake plays it. I can't tell what he's doing on the album version of the song, plus I saw Meshuggah play Swarm live in 2013 (front row) and couldn't see Tomas because of the crazy lighting, and The Ophidian Trek DVD doesn't show him drumming during their performance of this song. So yeah, I just pieced together patterns that I thought were complimentary and hoped my version would suffice. Glad to know you enjoyed it man.

Mate. That was a mind blowing cover. Can’t even begin to put words into how deep in the pocket you are there. That was awesome 🙌 ❤️

Dude this shit is insane! I personally this is like Meshuggahs best song, and you nailed it!

+Owen McKinley you're welcome! For me, I am just blown away by the way that dark atmosphere is created by all the members. There's something very dark and Erie about this song and it just gets me jamming every freaking time!

Unbelievable, Owen! Pure talent. Impressed as always.

So much passion in this, dude you absolutely ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

Your power level is clearly over 9000. Swiss triplets over top of polyrhythmic bass and hi-hat. How.

@OwenMcKinley

7 жыл бұрын

Thanks dude. I was able to manage the Swiss triplets over Swarm's foot pattern in a somewhat "unintentional" way... around the time I recorded this cover, I was playing along to Rosetta Stoned by Tool almost everyday (had no plans to cover it; was simply playing along with it for fun). There's a well-known section in that song starting at approximately 7min in that inspired (and helped me actually learn) my approach to Swarm. Just take a listen to it (if you're not already familiar with it) and you'll see where I'm coming from. Thanks again!

thank you sir for uploading this, it made my night better when i needed it

that was a joy to watch, searched Swarm drum cover as a shot in the dark, with some faint hope, and then this clip shows up, and the guy just nails it hard, dayum

Salute! loved this performance.

Min 3:54 😯😦

This is one of the most accurate cover of drumming of Tomas Haake !!!

Simply awesome!

Love from India. Way to go brother!

I'm blown away !! Good Job

flawless!

Freaking beast, I wish alot of drummers in my area played like you.

Amazing cover of an amazing song 🎉

Holy Crap! I'm glad I found this! It's insane!

2:40ish, love that bit. This is sick dude nice job

My friend, what a beautiful cover, I am impressed! Simply killer! Greetings from Brazil, I liked the socks ^^

Mr. McKinley, you absolute fucking beast. I thought you couldn't top your Triad cover and yet you have proved me wrong. I've been listening to this cover more than the actual song these days.

Bro, you are the best cover drummer I have ever seen on You Tube and I search for that a lot. I listen to your version of Tool's Triad at the gym all the time, and your precision and skill adds to the original song. Its pure percussive trance to me. So thank you so much. Have you ever considered doing more Tool covers or ventured into Gojira's work at all? Swarm is one of my favourite Meshuggah songs, also love Marrow, but like you said its tough to really pick a fave. Keep it up, I love your stuff.

That's awesome dude, I'm pumped to know you've enjoyed that Tool cover. Thank you! I've strongly considered more Tool covers, but I've gravitated towards Meshuggah's work for quite a while now. I listen to both bands equally though; Tool and Meshuggah are my two favorite bands (co-favorites, I'd say haha). I have huge respect for Gojira...they're incredibly talented and have been very consistently good. I just hardly listen to them, or any metal at all (generally speaking) outside of Meshuggah. Thanks again!

Wow, you made that look easy! Are you adhering to a specific sticking pattern/rudiment, or are both toms just tuned similarly allowing you to kind of feel the rhythm out how you want each time? Either way you are super precise!

This is insanity

Ok that's just too much, you're too good to be real

Hummingbirds drop from the sky when I play this with the door open

This song makes my head explode, the 4/4 pulse is around 135 BPM, but the toms and guitars are around 180 BPM, which actually is a ratio of 3/4, correct me if I'm wrong that is just mind blowing as the song has several parts where they reset and start on beat 1 but then the guitars and toms continue in this faster BPM, I'm not a drummer and I suck at theory so I hope it was clear. Kudos man, this sounds, feels and looks damn near impossible to play!

so cool dude :)

+Owen McKinley By putting a floor tom on each side of the snare (instead of playing a traditional set), you make it very easy to 'see' the rhythm. Plus, it's always extremely cool to see the physicality of someone playing the drums, and you make it look friggin unbelievably cool, not to mention that you're a great player. :) Yo!

+Yo BroMan Well thanks for watching; I appreciate it! My floor-tom set-up was inspired by Travis Orbin. If you think I'm a good drummer then I suggest you venture over to Travis' channel and watch some of his content. He makes me (and most everyone else) look like a joke on the drums. Again, thank you!

This is brutal. I watched the whole time grimacing because of how painful I know this was lol

Awesome cover, how does any1 come up with something like this anyway ?

one of my favorite songs! fuck! AMAZING JOB! oh and lovely pedal. :) hehe
