KARNIVOOL - ALL IT TAKES Drum Cover (Drumless Version) & Transcription

Cover #155. HYPE!! Karnivool just released a new single - the first new song recording since 2013, and I am beyond stoked! All It Takes is one heck of a banger! These guys have been one of my biggest influences over the past decade. This is a drumless version of the song, created through spleeter.
Absolutely phenomenal musicianship displayed in this song, per usual. This is my best attempt at memorising and channeling my inner Steve Judd. For the most part, the orchestration's the same - but I definitely did not nail every single intricate detail nor fill. Judd's an absolute beast. The 3:2 polyrhythms (or at times even polymeters) is on an incredible display in this song, once again. Can't wait to experience them live on tour next year.
I've previously covered Goliath and We Are, check them out here:
We Are: • KARNIVOOL - We Are (Dr... (with Transcription)
Goliath: • KARNIVOOL - GOLIATH (D...
Goliath Drum Lesson: • DRUM LESSON: 16th Note...
If you want to check out the differences, and the details in Judd's playing, I've made a transcription available for download.
You can find the transcription for the song here:

I live streamed the learning and practice for this cover on Twitch - thanks for hanging out and enjoying the journey!

[@akimhaag8216]

MONSTER ! 🤘🥁

[@kharnsagara]

I saw this video as I was going through KZbin and saw Karnivool with an unfamiliar picture and though there's no way they released a new song. Long story short, I saw your video for like 2 seconds and left because Karnivool but now I'm here. Awesome cover man

[@tomgleeson-hammerton2060]

S Y N C O pation Great playing mate! What a great song, Steve Judd is just a beast.

[@maxadrums]

[@That_Idiot_Bass_Player]

That little right hand pause to switch into the other rhythm at 1:59 makes me all gushy

[@joshoc1524]

I just had a go at playing this, then came to see a cover and BRO this is so much harder then you make it look, amazing work man!

[@hotburner4859]

🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽this is awesome man, absolutely nailed it!!!

[@irineumaiden]

All the struggle and the hard work has really paid off, Max! What a delight to listen to and to watch - you really got carried away by this song, even more so than usual. Might as well have *actually* channeled Steve Judd himself. Excellent job as always!

[@maxadrums]

I definitely did, haha! A mix of really getting carried away - and really focusing! Concentration face at 100% sometimes, haha!

[@feespirit8301]

[@Drumsholic]

Great Drumming my friend!! It's been a while to watching something from you!!Where have you been?? Are you married? Great sound too , personally i like little more loud cymbals but and as is it's nice!! I never listen again this song is good song, good band!!!Take care dude!!

[@maxadrums]

Hey man! Hope you're well, too! I have some issues with my arm, I am no longer married, but I'm doing well! Thank you! How are you? I put cymbals a bit lower in the mix for this song specifically, hehe! And yes!! The song is only two days old. Such a good tune!

[@Drumsholic]

@@maxadrums I'm fine, thank you for asking.I made a change to the way i recording this month and the result became to be very nice and i'm in thought to re-recording all of my old videos with the new way cause the sound is far better but i think i stay with this thought!Haha! Maybe i do it to some songs! Wish you fast recover with your issue i think i read something for this before some months you struggle it someway , i don't remember exactly. Our hands is our weapons and we must watched them as our eyes !! You 're young and i think you recover faster than me.I have too an issue before 2 months after the 2nd dose of Vaccine i felt dizzy and i fall down at a strange road place with a channel but without hurting something serious in according to drumming except my left knee and 2 front teeth broken...that was difficult but now i'm ok and knee it's ok too, nothing serious!! Yes this song is really good and you play fantastic.You do this as approach? I think you said something to the main text explanation and i understand that you put part of yourself into this not copying the original pattern of Judd's drumming.That it was super nice if you do it!! I always like the improvisation in drumming even if the You tube community never likes it!! Take care dude!! Be safe and healthy!!

[@DSKim-ej5uf]

I fell in love with a good video like yours for the first time today. Just like it happens in a movie..... I suddenly found out about your video today. How did you have such a wonderful talent that is overflowing with the mysterious charm of your video? I was amazed at the excellence of your skills and was moved by your sincerity and hard work while watching the video. I hope your video will bloom as a flower in my heart and stay as a flower of undying love for a long time. I'm looking at your video like a dream.. I'll cherish your beautiful video like the starlight in the empty space of my heart. Wouldn't it be great if my playing could become a purple star in the morning and my heart could reach you? Thank you for making my everything so happy for a little while because of one reason I watch your video. With a precious relationship, I would like to give you praise and support with sincerity and sincerity. As the algorithm introduced, I just looked down and suddenly the first picture caught my eye, so I looked up again and saw your video. Your video makes me forget all the worries of the world with your dewy eyes and brightens my dark heart. How do you do it? Suddenly, I like your video so much that I watch it over and over again, but I want to watch it over and over again. I want to be with you by bringing your video into my heart. Why does your video on my KZbin window look so beautiful and good? Watching your video under the cold winter sky at dawn is so beautiful and enchanting.

[@ericsantana1760]

Awesome cover. You play very well! So clean. Just keep it up! Please: U2: Beautiful Day.

[@maxadrums]

Thank you so very much! Appreciate it!

[@Lunatics695]

This sounds so good, great job. I have a question, what kind of cymbal do you have under your ride that you are playing throughout the song? The sound of that cymbal+ride is fucking amazing, almost sounds like a hi hat but so much better, or maybe it's not even a ride and is a crash I don't even know but it sounds amazing.

[@ItsABOUTflamTIME]

That's a type of stack, I don't know the exact cymbals he used but you can get a similar sound with any large (19-20") crash stacked on top a smaller (14-16") china. He's probably using the Byzance foundry reserve light ride on top, it's in his gear list and it looks right. The china could be any Meinl china.
