idk if I’d called that 15/4 necessarily. More like 5 bars of 3/4. I know sort of synonymous but not how it would be notated (though I’m just a hobbyist) What’s extra crazy is that the bass drum is in 5/8. Justin’s low G notes are in this 5/8 pattern while his accents as you’ve said are highlight each third beat of the 3/4 patter. Also, I believe Danny is doing Swiss triplets with his hands that are in 4. Triple polyrhythm absolutely insane and still sounds sexy and musical

Really shows men are factually and realistically capable of doing much more masculine, complicatedesque things, a man uploads something like this, the interest isn’t really sprung up, it’s almost expected for a male to be capable of pulling this off (generally speaking) so of course women are also going to click on it, it in some ways represents women, and their capabilities.

Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thing with just a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping... Holy fucking shit! Then the X-Files being, looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa, Did a slow-mo Matrix descent out of the butt end of the banana vessel and hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip and all I could think was: "I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin' pants." So light in his way, Like an apparition, He had me crying out, "Fuck me, It's gotta be, Deadhead Chemistry, The blotter got right on top of me, Got me seein' E-motherfuckin'-T!" And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose. He said, "You are the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not." Me. The Chosen One? They chose me!!! And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school. You better. You better. You better. You better listen. Then he looked right through me With somniferous almond eyes. Don't even know what that means Must remember to write it down. This is so real. Like the time Dave floated away. See my heart is pounding, 'Cause this shit never happens to me. Can't breathe, right now! It was so real. Like I woke up in Wonderland. All sort of terrifying. And I don't wanna be all alone when I tell this story. And can anyone tell me why You all sound like Peanut's parents Will I ever be coming down? This is so real. Finally it's my lucky day. See my heart is racing, 'Cause this shit never happens to me. Can't breathe, right now! You believe me, don't you? Please believe what I just said, see the Dead ain't touring. And this wasn't all in my head. See they took me by the hand and invited me right in, Then they showed me something. I don't even know where to begin. Strapped down my bed. Feet cold and eyes red. I'm out my head. Am I alive, am I dead? Can't remember what they said. God damn. Shit the bed! (high... I I I I I... high...

George Kam Actually, the earliest evidence of modern humans (ie. Homo sapiens) dates back over 300,000 years. Over the next 250,000 years or so, they developed into what we now consider to be Homo sapien sapiens (humans displaying full behavioral modernity, ie. language, music, culture, abstract thinking). There has also been significant fossil evidence that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens coexisted, and likely even interbred until about 40,000 years ago. So to say that modern humans have only existed for 5000-7000 years, and that they lived totally and completely separate to cavemen is just plain false.

This is an outstanding performance! Most people watching this probably don't understand the effort and dedication it takes to reach this level of perfection. As a musician it took me 34 years to get close to perfection and after all this time, I still feel I have a lot to learn on my instrument. I play triangle.

Good on you brother!

My arm started cramping just watching 7:04-8:36, bravo!

John, this is amazing! In the description you come across as very humble and down to earth. You are emulating one of the greatest drummers out there, Danny Carey, whom I sure would be blown away by how good you are. (1) You're definitely not lazy, the lengths you went to to get all the details correct is insane! And (2) you definitely did the song justice.

Congratulations, you’ve won.

Man a lot of times I love watching you play Tool sometimes more than I like to watch Danny

If I wasnt such a huge Carey fan, I would say the real hero here is the camera work.

GOOSEBUMPS!!! AMAZING! I didn’t think it could be done properly by anyone but the man himself..

I got asmr from this.

That's good to hear, because this song never failed to give me goosebumps, and I played it at least 100 times during practice.

good to know I'm not the only one!

I'm a simple human, I see tool, I see a good cover, I subscribe and thumbs up.

I can't believe that you just played a Tool song and did stick tricks while playing one of the craziest sections!

Best tool covers on youtube.

TRULY a Masterpiece John!! Spot on, you did it justice! Always a pleasure! ^_^

johnkew Ha!... Think I'll leave this one alone ;) More Tool though coming for sure! \m/

I'm not a musician and I'm not a drummer but I like what I hear. I LOVE TOOL and this rendition is FANTASTIC. Well done Sir.👏👍

3 years in a row.. still one of John's Masterpiece... top 3 "go-to" piece for devouring somebody's hard work and dedication into drumming!!!

It must be so satisfying to be able to play this on drums.

*FLAWLESS VICTORY*

Imagine fucking up an 11 video drum cover because you were goofing around with the sticks. Now, imagine being so fucking badass and good at what you do that you don't even flinch. Johnkew, you LITERALLY rock, man!

This is absolut madness I can’t begin to fathom how much time you must have spent on learning this. What an effort!

I’ll be honest. For whatever reason, I wasn’t expecting much. But I’ll be damned this dude made this song seem brand new after all these years. I didn’t realize just how drum centric this song is until seeing someone cover it beat for beat like this. Good shit man. Keep it up. 👊

Did you see the drums only version? Yet another layer of awesomeness.

So good to see this and to read your opinion about Rosetta Stoned. One of my favorite songs of all time, a masterpiece in my book, both technically and lyrically. And you absolutely crushed it! :D

Still come back to this for that feeling of bliss that life continuously doesn't provide anymore

One of the most technical songs ever to play, nails it perfectly. Master of his craft. Why not toss in a few stick flips while we're at it 🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎🤘🏻🤘🏻epic epic epic. I've easily watched this 100 times over the past year haha

he actually did it, the absolute madman

Like many others, I have been waiting years for you to serve this one up John. When the notification popped up on my phone earlier today, it was so hard for me to not drop everything I was doing and watch it. But, I patiently waited till the end of the day, kids and Wife in bed, time to rock. Vincent Vega might say this is a bold statement, but I think RS is my favorite Tool drum track. There is just so much going on. It's like a 7 course meal at a 4-star restaurant...one tasty dish after another. I've come to expect greatness from you sir and yet again, that is exactly what you delivered. Was every single note carbon copied from Danny's track? Maybe not...might be closer to 99.5%. But as for energy and spirit --> that was 110%. It was literally dripping off your sticks. I am usually not a fan of stick tricks, but your flips took me completely by surprise and felt like more of a celebration of how awesome you had nailed it thus far. I'd swear I could hear you screaming "shit yeah" in your head. Know what? I was too. 😊 Dude, I could go on and on. I'll end by saying, I seriously appreciate your craft and effort and I get pure joy out of watching you "at work". You keep uploading 'em, I'll keep watching 'em! Thanks John!!!

Thanks for writing this my friend, it is so gratifying to know that these videos are fun to watch. If just a fraction of the feeling I get when playing it can be felt while watching it, then that makes me very happy. I'm not big into stick flips either, but I have to tell you, they felt really good on that part. Kind of letting the energy take over.

This video is the only one in my tool Playlist Danny isn't the drummer!! Put me down for most views by a single person. Love you brotha

Took me over 5 weeks of constant practicing to nail this with bass guitar. I can only imagine how much work it took to play this with drums. Respect!!!!

Abonodi guess I'm lucky to be a guitar player because most of the playing in this track is retarded. I mean, it sounds awesome, but you can almost feel Adam's skill reaching its limit

FINALLY! Someone does it with all its details. Good sound. Well filmed. All my respects, great job! You won a follower just for this haha Greetings from Argentina

THE SONG UTILIZES THE WHOLE KIT SO WELL

8:37 after holding that sweet minute long groove he comes out spinning his drumsticks. Pure braingasm.

Amazing work! I'm an drummer but love playing this on guitar. Danny should be proud of you.

by far best danny cover there is

The stick flips give me a serotonin boost....

i still come back and watch this every few weeks... so sick!

Simply amazing, 100% accurate cover of a masterpiece

Ridiculous, you are some sort of machine John! Well done dude aha

Ooh my lord ...how on earth does this visual work with two arms and two legs....sounds like the octopus he claims to be......beautiful!!! And most awesome work there Mr john

Holy Gosh DAMN!!!!! IDK 🤷🏻 HOW I 4Got HOW GREAT THAT COVER IS !!!!! F Danny Man!!!! 🤘🏻John Kew will fit right IN!!!!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Dude.....Dude....This is amazing. Those stick twirls. The accuracy. The passion. Hold your head up, my friend. Your hard work has paid off. Danny more than likely didn't get what we hear on the record in one take. I'm sure that is a comp of a few, at least. This made my day. Where are you located? I would love to work together, in some capacity at least.
