Covet // Live Studio Session

The full cut of our session with the sensational progressive rock trio Covet! From September of 2019, released by popular demand, thank you Ryan for putting this together!

[@drewmiller8784]

this camera placement is criminal because Forrest's crash obscures his beautiful smile

[@JulioRodriguez-vs1qp]

They did an illegal move

[@Naksuu]

The rare case of a guitarist playing finger style and a bassist on a pick. They sound great!

[@MaTTheWish]

😊

[@Malunya_as]

Rumor has it that Forrest Rice got lost in an island for 3 years without a clock and when they found him he knew exactly what the second was.

[@kush476]

The drummer is always in character. Be it live performances or music videos, he is always tripping.

[@MrCharlie066]

Around 2:55 onwards the drummer is using the hi-hat in such a delicate way and with such control. I haven't played in years, if I'd kept up maybe I could control each limb independently like this master! I hope he knows how good he is. Living the dream dude! Shout out to the bass player too. They're all killin it.

[@drum5ormore2]

That's what's called, in the business, a "very good drummer".

[@christopher-miles]

yeah he's a great drummer, lost count. LOL! he's hella happy; and it's freaking me out.

[@MEpowder]

@@christopher-miles i wish he had more cymbals

[@nathanel2306]

@@MEpowder Why?

[@MEpowder]

@@nathanel2306 just feel like having more noise, different toned crashes and ringing bleeding throughout, would allow for some more flavor. I'm getting a little bit of yamantaka sonic titan vibes from the band, maybe thats why? I dunno, cymbals are cool 😎

[@nathanel2306]

@@MEpowder This is that artist's flavour. That's like looking at a Picasso painting and saying 'I wish he used more cubes than what he used here.'

[@richinmusic]

Yvette Young is the first guitarist that I have absolutely loved everything from in YEARS. As someone on another KZbin thread said of her (and Covet), "The future of music is in good hands".

[@Guitaristscreamer]

Shes great, as is the whole band. For a little while i was getting tired of the prog and mathy instrumental bands but Ilove all their stuff. She also seems like a really cool person. Check out her video on Andertons. You get to see her play, talk about her music and playing and about herself a bit

[@PaulVRo]

yep she's something else.. :) very rare for one such as this to appear. the guys are keeping up as well, particularly suitable to be in this band. i might be biassed but god damn it they are shining in this project. the drummer is super fantastic but here he is enjoying it to the max! and the bass player as well. they are all mega vibing with Yvette in the lead

[@whatdothlife4660]

@@PaulVRo They are a perfect fit for eachother. So much technique and nuance and SO tight.

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

She is a musician's guitarist/ instrumentalist, and a technical wizard.

[@edclevel402]

Vehemently agree - she's a very bright light.

[@EricBenjamin518]

That drummer's playing is real puuurdie.

Thnx

[@TheSpiritualSavage]

Forest is a beast! That solo at the end of glimmer was so tight!

[@TheMachinesWon]

Why do I keep listening to this on repeat?....oh yeah, because it's freaking amazing!

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

I'm obsessed with this band. They should be headlining sold out international arena tours (but they would have to do a close to 2 hour set). Forrest's chops were on fire and David matching him perfectly. Of course Yvette is in a league of her own as well.

[@timothywagner8798]

It’s so cool watching Covet evolve. Every album is such a solid driving force!

[@msaintpc]

Love the sound of the snare drum, he tuned it perfectly.

[@jessemalloch331]

looks like a virgil donati signature.

[@bobsondugnutt7526]

Any idea how? I am thinking single ply tuned white knuckle with maybe a 5mm resonant instead of the usual 3. Snare wire sustain is short at least on this recording

[@arrtwo1375]

that drummers having the time of his life, his joy is so contagious

[@thejhuds22]

Drummer switching to 4/4 outta nowhere at 10:04 was insane. Incredible set!

[@ashrasmun1]

That whole section is in 4/4 though

[@msgesus4518]

@@ashrasmun1Yep, lol.

[@thejhuds22]

Think the switch up to that driving pocket beat along with the bassist changing his groove caught me off guard a bit.

[@mathrockmaniac7643]

Am I the only one who appreciates Yvette's little dancing shakes lol, remember when she was in the garage, she's come so far, awesome.

[@anthonyl9126]

Brrooooo her little sways?! I love that shit

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

She gets into it, as they all do. And to play this well, with such complexity and nuance so tightly, you have to.

[@metalrockstarizer89]

I love it when musicians express themselves with their instruments. Something that you don’t see a lot of musicians do nowadays, no one doesn’t express themselves like that these days. The ones that express themselves are the ones that make the most art in my opinion.

[@bobsondugnutt7526]

keep revisiting this not just for the musicianship, but also the amazing production value. audio sounds great.

[@whatdothlife4660]

It's so warm and their music has so much depth.

[@aidanmannion9263]

I fuckin love this band so much

[@joshpattersondarthmenno]

When you really loved the bridge and want it to be the entire song. Also, that drummer is impressive.

[@snarkyboojum]

The bass lines in this song are delicious too.

[@red240red2]

Knew Yvette was great but wow the drum really complimented the songs and has such tasteful arrangements

[@whatdothlife4660]

This lineup is one of my favorite three-piece bands of all time. Their synergy was amazing.

[@crypter.6721]

Fucking amazing performance from all of em but especially the Drummer, Forest, crazy consistent incredible-ness from him! Perfect tuning everytime too

[@RappinAcoustic]

They are so tight as a unit and the guitar work so soothing.

[@robertschulz4179]

The drummer had me at that shuffle and paradiddle with one hand. Then later all of those sweet harmonious melodies. It is perfection in any direction!🤗🤪🤩

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

This is one of the sickest/ cleanest/ most skillful Forrest beats right here (and probably the most amazing drum beat I have ever heard): kzbin.info/www/bejne/roTbnWaBqq51i9U But I say the entire song (Nero) is amazing and worth listening to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roTbnWaBqq51i9U
