197 Tool - Ticks & Leeches - Drum Cover

[@joshbutler822]

hey delta. I'm on my brother's comp listening to his music mix because he passed away just a few days ago after a long history of health issues and i needed a little reminder. there are a lot of your vids here and being a drummer himself, he really liked your work. I don't want to get mushy, but he really liked the work you do and i would like to thank you for the joy you gave him while he was here. keep up the fantastic work.

[@hihtitmamnan]

I'm not crying, you're crying...

[@dvt1393]

I'm so very, very sorry for your loss. I can see that this comment is from over a year ago, but I want to give my condolences to you and your family. R.I.P.🙏

[@greggmarzilli2898]

SORRY...VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSE....YOUR BROTHER IS SMILING

[@Tuskanr]

I remember reading somewhere that Danny Carey said this was the most difficult and intense song to play. You killed it.

[@liamruiz1573]

Perhaps intense, most difficult would be Rosetta Stoned

[@matthewroreilly]

Depends on chops, like to me I’d rather play this than Rosetta stoned or something more polyrhythmic, where it’s more thinking and less having the dexterity and chops for the amount of notes.

[@mikelangelier5734]

Jacob Cline That is Danny Carey with a mask on duh 😂

[@eh3253]

Mike Langelier probably

[@DerTeufelImDetail]

Everyone can buy a gigantic drum kit, but handle it ... What a breathtaking sound. I love it when you beat the shit out of the kit. Absolutly powerfull drumming. Danny Carey sitting on his sofa: " damn... I wrote that shit?"

[@TequilaOperator]

Fantastic job masked person. This is probably the best and closest to the real version so far that I’ve seen on here. You slayed it. 🤘🏻

This honestly is one of my favorite Tool songs as far as drums go.. Danny Carey killed it on this and you my friend nailed it! 🤘👌👏

[@radicalstanza3614]

@Sthaman Sinha nah

[@Mile-long-list]

Nope he hit his sticks and missed a few but very close. It was also edited so it's not one take. A studio drummer hits it end to end, no editing

[@PD2KC]

This is one of my fav vocals and drums from tool!!!

[@turdferguson7112]

No not perfectly. Very good but you can hear the difference is miles away from DC. Not judging. Im just being a realist.

[@diemcarl5546]

Well that was fucking amazing. There are a lot of very great drummers on youtube, but you're clearly a step above almost everyone.

That head smash on the cymbal was absolutely EPIC... You killed it!!

[@everythingwinginit4593]

Because I’m a KZbin junky I’ve seen who you are. The best part is you showcase your talent. You have inspired me to start to learn. Thank you for your videos

[@SaffyreTempest]

I've been hoping you'd tackle another Tool song, so this makes me irrationally excited. Your Stinkfist cover was phenomenal, and this is even better. I'm finding that I actually prefer to listen to many of your covers over the originals. The drums just sound so much fuller, if that makes sense.

[@SaffyreTempest]

[@TheButcher83]

4:35 😂Loved it, just like your huge talent on drums..

[@Ella-lh2cl]

All your covers are incredible, but this one completely won me over. Your performance was legendary... so precise and dynamic! The interlude where you read the book was a plot twist I didn't see coming. 😊To draw an analogy, the way you play the drums seems to flow as naturally and effortlessly as when you enjoy a relaxing read. You took a great song and made it epic!👋🖤

[@PerseusM76]

Good God that was awesome

[@shorezee1253]

Delta you’re an absolute fucking beast!! Do those drums owe you money? Beat the F out of em as always!

[@kyle3420]

So this is by far the best cover of T&L I've seen. There is another guy who did a cover based on his own interpretation of the song many years ago tbartels007 but this is even better. I love this.

[@LouisvilleRenaissanc]

This has to be the most beautiful kit in the world... both visibly AND sonically.

[@chriso6640]

Delta, your kit sounds phenomenal! *CHEERS* 🥃🥃

[@nickcds3419]

Right!? Awesome. Nailed the snare tone

[@jdock694]

agreed. it's those deep DW drums. Still trying to figure out what sizes. I'm guessing 12, 14 toms, 16 and 18 floors. That snare is tough. it does sound great.

[@chriso6640]

Jack Murdock yep, his kit details are in the video description. DW’s collectors are sick, I also have a feeling Delta is meticulous with tuning.

[@jdock694]

Chris O thanks for the tip. I didn't know that was there! I nailed it. I figured they were the collectors cause I think they are the only ones you can get in that color. He has all the right equipment and it sounds amazing. My next kit will be the same tom sizes but thinking 24" basses.

[@TigersTalons]

Chris O I just read the list and a second time then showed it off!

[@djbxandsbr451]

Excellent cover

[@WishMount]

For some reason at this specific part 5:31 these Tom fills made my brain enter a euphoric state. Delta’s Tom tuning with tool’s guitar gave me dizzies holy moly

[@matts.9644]

I wish what I am going to say would hit a greater audience...ie: more people. The attention to detail this guy has is incredible! The ferocity mixed with technicianship is on point! The break...and at 4:37...I nearly killed myself laughing! This guy is the man!

The iconic intro? I knew you’d nail it. Right in your alley. (Although spiced with the ostensible “Delta Flavor”: full forte dynamics) 😉 But man... those crushing fills, after the interlude... you totally killed it! Legendary performance man! I just imagine Danny himself watching it and cheering loudly!

[@badmonkey1686]

Amazing job bro, you def killed it! Dana would be proud! The fill at 7:30ish, right at the end when he looks at the floor tom was an epic i owned it moment...

Great video man...the drumming was perfect on a difficult song to play. Very technical..and very funny during the break...you made me laugh out loud for real...one of your best Delta.

[@NoMastersNoMistress]

Using your forehead on that cymbal is still my favorite part of this... it reminds me of the infamous animated video of Slayer's Criminally Insane.

[@Bradamsmx5]

Been drumming long. You look like you were born with the sticks already in your hands. So relaxed looking even on those really fast and difficult bits. You seem to flow through the set, instead of it looking tense and forced. Subscribed after the second video. Inspirational. Makes me want to try playing again.
