Sean's work on this album is perfect. It's hard to cover that, really.

[@melomandrumspassion3959]

yep, you got a point. This guy has potential but he's so far from the real version.

[@TronciM]

It literally is perfect, there's no possible way to improve it

[@jagzin6147]

Excellent point.

[@ozgun6611]

well said

[@igorkuzmanovic5990]

@@melomandrumspassion3959 This guy is all technique. Sean is all feel. This is not even close.

[@DANTVSVERGIL]

I've always admired Death's drumming no matter who it was (Sean, Gene, ect.) doesn't matter. They were all badasses and I thank my Grandpa fir showing them to me when I was younger. One of the many reasons as to why I play now.

[@Lofiguy3688]

I agree. No matter who rotated through everyone was solid especially the drummers. If I had to pick Sean would be first and Gene is a close second especially since he plays on two of their albums.

[@AJwiththeAK]

dude your grandpa showed you death? thats pretty badass

[@klausherbert3040]

Ur Grandpa? shit, i am an old fuck....

[@migthefig]

Yup! Chuck knew who to bring to his lineup that for sure.

[@ivan_paul77music]

I also prefer Richard Christy over the rest but not for much. I guess mainly for his creative work in Perseverance but Sean and Gene are no less monster drummers.

[@messerfranz3717]

Still love to hear that many young people love Death (Chuck Schuldiner/ Sean Reinert). Nice work Toni. Keep on going.

[@felixhamel2398]

Messer Franz im 17 and Death is my favourite band 🤘🤘

[@HamMan1997The2nd]

I’m 22 and I love Death

[@jagzin6147]

May they both rest in peace. Legends.

[@ascendancy4900]

23 here. Death fan since 16. Chuck still lives in all of us.

Hey you, stop copying my profile Pic! Xd

[@ripklg]

damn. This is the best cover I've ever seen on this album. watch it with great pleasure. Need more covers from the "Human" album:-)

[@ripklg]

ripklg I looked at it again. I also think that we need to cover Aghora eponymous album. BUT ... it is more difficult ... and, most likely, it is simply impossible :-) Reinert just a killing machine

[@Dekuju_moc]

Awesome. I remember listening to this album in 1991 and being amazed by the drumming. Someone can correct me, but Sean Reinert really innovated and played in a way that was never heard before.

[@empire1281]

Excellent cover, man. Off of one of the best albums ever written, by one of the best drummers to grace Death, and death metal, Sean Reinert

[@thedruidzmademe666]

FACTS

[@jesswise8680]

He was amazing !

[@WhirlwindDrums]

What I admire from you is you covered this in your own feel. You got a great feel. That being said. I think it’s very difficult to play in the style of sean reinert

[@n0ah_m309]

You can’t say this song and album doesn’t have the best drums off the whole death discography

[@jason_108]

1991 was that glory year for death metal & Human was the real game changer. Sean was brilliant.

[@hazardeur]

you could say that about any death album starting with human. i do love seans playing though. to me, ,itßs a tie between him and christy, then gene, ,then the other guy, cant remember his name

[@n0ah_m309]

@@hazardeur do you mean bill andrews? Or Chris reifert?

[@bobbydigital8111]

Nice man... After listening to this album thousands upon thousands of times since high school(25 years ago... Damn how metal has changed) Sean's drum parts just continue to get better and better.... Thanks for bringing back that energy!!!

[@JasonWilliams-sb8zs]

Amazing I have watched the old footage of Sean playing this live (behind the drum kit footage) too many times to count. This is a great cover

[@ladooscuro9859]

Human: las mejores líneas de batería de la historia.

[@crazycoasters4514]

You make it look like you’re at a family reunion sitting on a couch using your arms for parts of a story your telling. That’s how easy you make it look lol.

[@deviousdieselmusic]

This is so accurate I can’t even handle it What a masterful metaphor

[@B166ER-]

Sean's drumming is absurd on this song especially. I couldnt figure out that hi hat fill in the main riff for the longest time

[@deviousdieselmusic]

This is absolutely mind blowing. As close to reinert as anyone could get but still with your own flavor. It was perfect. Do the rest of human, please

[@kinoheavymetal]

you have the best stroke and techniques of the covers I saw so far. many congratulations, greetings from Argentina

[@FrancoCatrin]

Tremendo!!! Totally enjoyable watching you play this song!

[@HansPeter-jy7et]

Fantastisch. Hat mich glatt animiert mal wieder mehr Metal-Drumming zu üben.

[@pavlovdavinci9402]

Toni, this is trully amazing cover! One of the best if not the best ever!!! Please, more Human, Individual, Symbolic... covers! :) Thank you so much!

[@BigMuff75]

Immer noch das beste Cover on KZbin!

[@paskapaavo]

Thanks nice job. 👌😎 This is one of my favorite tracks of Death and Sean Reinert is so amazing in this album.

[@jksala2864]

This was awesome. Great job with a great song.

[@shanegriffin2215]

Masterful job! Any Sean performace is extreamly challenging to master.

[@jason_108]

dang man you crushed it. I'm a picky one when it comes to this tracks drums since 91. Great job

[@19boro76]

AMAZING, brilliant drumming to my favourite death metal band :-), thumbs up

[@JaysonSherlock]

Absolutely beautiful work man. You have an amazing touch. Sean would have loved this.

[@kaozdrums]

I remember those times when Krimh was doing cover videos. It's your turn to rise, young man :)

[@patriciavalencia1834]

Awesome, great!!!!!!

[@annaleebliss4618]

Great drum cover on a Great song Love Human

[@Walterthedrummer]

Awesome, my best regards.... You are a great drummer!!!

[@XxDUSTYxX666]

🤘 you nailed it again, Toni! 🤘

[@user-qo4xy7px1m]

Молодец! Хорошо легко играет, не напригается.

[@stefan_mf]

A brilliant drummer. He whirls the sticks as if he had never done anything else in his life. I find the position from 2:04 particularly impressive.

[@ilovehearses]

Great cover. RIP, Sean.

[@patrickvangelder6943]

This is a mountain few will reach the apex of. But you are on the left slope on an armslength from the top. Chapeau.

[@lifeimitatingdeath3608]

Just found this.. Wow man you killed it!

Best cover ever!

[@rimppatimppa]

Very well done! I have tried to pull this one through too. Not very successful though. Nice and relaxed playing indeed.

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

Nice work Toni. This is an insanely composed drum track. Mind blowing considering Sean was only 20yrs old at the time.

[@Crucifer]

Wow!!

Hi Toni, nice job. It is just a pity that you have no camera showing BD work as well, would love to see that. Thank you for sharing ...

Sweet ! cool relaxed style, more Death please....done any Nile covers?

[@borizh]

I was wondering if you got those kick triplets during Paul’s solo and you did. Pretty good cover!

[@jorgedeltiempo]

Amaizing..level good!..tocar al nivel de sean reinert tal cual es digno de alabanza. Human es uno de los discos en mi opinión con las baterías mas increíbles y complejas de la historia Eres una bestia en la batería. Gracias por tu video

[@daddydawn1653]

This is fucking sick man. Nice work..

[@duendetinz]

que weon mas sólido (wath a perfect interpretation)

[@aminch168]

very nice job

[@morganhart2106]

fantastic .

[@cannibalcorpse123]

This is awesome. Yeah you should also cover an old psycroptic song too

[@ToniMerkel]

Thanks alot, yes i will cover a Psycroptic Song. Any Song suggestion?

[@cannibalcorpse123]

Toni Merkel maybe something from the sceptre of the ancients album like lacertine forest or skin coffin. Its really up to you as the whole album is a master piece, you'd nail it

[@igorkuzmanovic8071]
