Holy fucking shit this is awesome! Not only the arrangements are mostly on point in one of the most difficult DT tunes ever, but the execution is pristine! One of my favorite channels on the internets for sure

[@AAXplosion]

Thank you very much man! :)

I like that tou added some bits from the live version.

[@Mulukkis]

Warms my heart to see people cover what I consider the golden ages of Dream Theater 😊 Take the Time is still one of my all time favorite songs. So funky. Well done!

[@lwiful]

I can't understand how this can look so smooth and effortless. Awesome playing!

[@KingXanadu]

Agree with all the other comments. You’re too good for words man. Just perfection

[@longcharbenable]

When I saw it was 12 minutes, I knew what I was in your for. Awesome

[@AmosMantyla]

Very very nice, bro. Fantastic work and very tasteful, appropriate "flavor". In the places where you put your own touches, the essence of the song was definitely captured.

[@EchoesHill]

Really solid my friend. I graduated Berklee with a guitar degree. Needless to say there are some talented drummers there, and assuming your own work is that solid, you stand among the best.

[@Hockeyguy8541]

Those cymbal chokes are just exesquisite. I loved every second of this cover. All your added in flair made this 10x better than any old drum cover!

[@ardidio2201]

Suddenly there's a hope for Metropolis Pt. 1, Pull Me Under and Learning To Live

[@romasadovnik3456]

It seems to be played cleaner than the original! Best performance I've heard!

[@BBHemisnJets]

I've seen SO many bands..(drummers my favorite) → (Live and on 'tape') and worked for DT (as 'Majesty')on Long Island in the club Daze. Personal friends with all the DT guys on LINY and I'm sure MP would love your playing. Awesome Keep Rockin.!

[@dragonthesharkyt]

2:34 is when my jaw dropped. Such a brilliant use of cymbals I just had to subscribe. Great job!

[@MSantanaT1]

Dude, great video! I like how you add some of your own taste to the song. And the sound of your kit it's amazing, keep it going mate! Greetings from Chile!

[@999Aqib]

This was so clean, the fills were accurate and some even more appropriate to the song. Loved the interpretation. Very cool cover my bro!

[@mauricioalbertovaldezapont8526]

Take the Time images and words 👏👏👏👏👍🤘🤘

[@artyombond007]

best drums sound ever

[@albitcapinigro1107]

Superb. Another DT song I might be able to figure out now. Thank you.

[@aloretoc]

I'm a simple man, I see a Mathias cover of DT and I like. You have this Portnoy-esque way of doing his covers. I could swear I can close my eyes and believe is mike himself playing the song. Its hard to cover MP parts, but not only you can replicate the technique, you can replicate the orginal feeling and that is the most amazing thing ever.

[@JorgeCanela]

Great performance! Congratulations.

[@douglasmcgowan7502]

This cover is great. Your camera placement is good, and you get into the song with some good personality. Also I would love a dream theater the holiday spirit carries on cover.

[@asheshinfinite3766]

COOL AS A CUCUMBER! AWESOME! 👏✊👍👏🤘

[@edtrooper86]

My friend, that was freakin awesome. Not just the performance, which was impecable, but also the sound and mixing sounds so clean and tight (the snare specially, ohdayum). Absolutely marvelous, my full congratulations. Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@AlienorchestraNetoslo]

Excellent DT drumming here!! big LIKE...

[@jianfri]

this is the best drum cover of "take the time" I've ever seen, congratulations Mathias! I also appreciated all the little adds and modifications you've made (like those at 6.30 for example): they fit in so well even though they weren't in the original.

[@budioso]

Bagus. Keren

[@zee.kuerschner]

Holy shit!! 🤘🏻😆

[@zee.kuerschner]

@AAXplosion I know this is a little bit late. But could you look into Tales of The Destinies by Babymetal? I'd like to see the cover of that song badly. It's a full-on prog song which was approved by MP himself. I only knew 2 persons that covered the drum part for that song in KZbin. But the sound was not like your videos. Really love the sound of your drums. Thanks for taking your time reading this 🙏🏻

[@dreamtheater7347]

Your best cover ever !!! 👌😉This is absolutely insane !!! I''m not a gay but a love you Mathias 😁😁😁

[@sahadhewa4765]

the fuck! so perfect!

[@MrBroncolinShows]

Covers of Liquid Tension Experiment! Think about it dude:’)
