Teens Cover PNEUMA by TOOL

[@DrGsVidz]

Mantra (the band) has a new KZbin channel. Let's give them some support. www.youtube.com/@themantraband A lot of folks have asked for MORE DRUMS. Here's a new recording on my son's channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIK7eH2crJengZosi=52LzSG6CQ6FHu89s Thanks again to everyone viewing and posting positive comments - and I include in that any constructive critiques or feedback...all of that is welcome. You guys are restoring my hope for humanity!

[@kylefolger]

This was excellent. Is there more context to this performance? Was it indeed a high school talent show or similar? The only timing issues I heard were most likely related to the lack of a decent mic/monitor setup. I know when I played in school events, it was a lot of work to get any decent sound and trust someone to make sure mics were on. That was mainly with simple songs. It takes a lot of talent to pull off something this complex with what looks like minimal audio support…and to keep going and get back in sync with each other without stopping.

[@DrGsVidz]

@@kylefolger This was a quarterly performance night at a public high school for students enrolled in the guitar class. It's not a competition. These guys have done this a few times now (you'll find more of their performances on my channel). The support staff is very limited and there's really no sound engineering...students just walk onto the stage, plug in, and start playing. Thanks for the positive response and feedback. These guys only rehearsed about 4-5 times on this song, which explains the handful of hiccups they had during the performance....I'm actually shocked they did as well as they did with so few practice sessions together.

[@annak29]

Even more impressive! Each one put a ton of time to learn their parts to make this so on point and perfected!

The kids are excellent . I’m a 53 year old woman who has played drums since 8yrs old. Your son is technical and to sustain all the way through . I’m a huge Tool Fan. Are you guys in Cleveland?

Nailed it? I mean.... No. They did okay, but they absolutely did not nail it. I guess I'm curious what your definition of "nailing it" would be. Because objectively, I give it a 6.5 to 7 out of 10. Still very impressive in its own right, but not a perfect rendition by any means. That being said, I'm sure they were the most talented act at this high school talent show (or whatever it was) that day.

[@theborgster8497]

@@AxelordSMIJES By nailed it, I meant actually pulled it off, not a perfect rendition. Mike Portnoy just did it on Drumeo and not even he could do a perfect rendition. Given that Tool had over 10 years to construct this masterpiece my intent of nailed it in this context is subjective.

well.. that was unexpected but a happy e great performance to see... kudos from italy

[@JacksonPhixesPhones]

Algorithmo sent me from the Tool Danny Carey Pnuma live video, and I'm impressed! This song is crazy, just ask Mike Portnoy! Great job y'all! All praise Algorithmo!

[@tomahawk5118]

Just so everyone understands, these youngsters performing this song so well is about as miraculous as an infant building a pyramid. Nice job!

[@dedbetter]

no doubt the drummer is going places but lets recognize the other kids too! the timing between all of them is impeccable. incredible!

[@provenchords1]

Wait! Where is the drummer going, the damn song isn't even over yet.

[@JohnTaffy]

This is tuff as fuck, good on them boys for trying this out. They got some damn good talent. I hope they go far. 🤟🔥🤟🤟🔥

[@JohnTaffy]

Please keep your drummer as well. He's got it down

[@mikeyroos4229]

Everyone did absolutely fantastic, I would have absolutely lost my MIND if this happened in front of me. Everyone's already praised the drummer, but special props to the vocalist, did a great job channeling Maynard imo

[@Kevin-ju1kb]

dude for real i have never seen anyone do maynard justice like this!!!!! i would have been standing on TOP of my chair fanboy screaming during this show

[@TheFirstAirbender1036]

people dont know how hard it is to do a cover of this song let alone on live stage...talented young men 🤘🏻🔥 way to go

[@sherryorr4534]

I wonder how many people realize how difficult it is to play this. The talent here is just incredible!

[@DrGsVidz]

Thanks for being one who DOES recognize the challenge. It means a lot to these guys. Feel free to give them a follow on IG @the.mantra.band

[@fiscalcpiano]

​@@DrGsVidzinstant follow. I wish them the best of success in life. Inspiring young dudes

[@fitshamer]

Wow, dude on drums killed it. My man on guitar also Slayed.

[@bilbro88]

You guys are legends! Maynard and the boys would be proud! Especially Danny! If only the crowd could comprehend the beauty and difficulty of what he just did! Major props baby octopus! 😎

[@mikeo5657]

Holy Crap! The stones to do this at a high school talent show! And to rock it!! Great job all around!

[@mikkicrash4510]

for a bunch of teen agers you guys get mad respect from me, a fellow musician, for taking on one of the craziest TOOL songs ever written. GREATR JOB!!

[@beancooker]

This is one of the hardest songs to drum. It literally is a math sequence. Props to the kid drumming, and the other bandmates. Nice work kids.

[@Baneumann66]

Great stuff! In my generation it was RUSH. That is what the local kids would play to impress everyone. Now it’s Tool. Very cool.

[@musicalwarrior9079]

I’m actually the drummer from the video (gonna have to make a new channel to start posting), but we’ve actually been playing some Rush as well! Our favorite to play at the moment is La Villa Strangiato!

[@DerekWhite-yx2ce]

@@musicalwarrior9079 very cool, you did a great job.

[@alank1220]

​@@musicalwarrior9079 not sure how the audience reacted, but hopefully you have been enjoying the comments and praise in this video. You did a phenomenal job. And it's clear your dad is so very proud of you and loves you. Great work

[@CarnerioTostado]

​@@musicalwarrior9079yess dude, please make a channel

[@Prime_Mover2112]

The guts it takes to get up there and even attempt this song, never mind actually pull it off. Hats off to all band members, and an extra shout out to the dummer, being a drummer myself of 30+ years, phenomenal job!

[@chrisgilreath6248]

Good attempt guys! 👍. Just remember the time signature of this song is ... 5/4 to 6/4 . I just couldn't feel that happening. The bassist and the drummer should feel and count this. All respect to you! 💪

[@marcusjunge6673]

Wow, one of the most difficult Rocksongs ever. Great work.

[@hankhill9195]

Absolutely fantastic. These young men played a very complex song first off. The vocals are great, the drummer, and guitarist studied this song well because the timing is so unorthodox. Very well done gents! Plus Tool is the GOAT.

[@TheAirwky]

Holy stepping it up a notch at the talent shows nowadays aren't we... a guy played a kazoo back in my day.👍

[@WhupzCS]

OMG!!! The trombonist is my great-aunt's roomate's goldfish's previous owners' step uncle!!!!

[@Jaronica77]

This is awesome! As a drummer, and a fan of Tool… this is incredible talent for these kids. Life long memories… Great job to all!

[@jacksoneells5962]

Holy shit that guitar tone is beautiful

[@spektralofficial]

With youth like that, there is hope for Humanity! ❤

[@Thefineartofdistraction]

Holy shit, that drummer absolutely NAILED it, wow wow wow as a drummer of 30+ years this song even scares me to play it & these kids played it a a school talent show, I’ll tell you what, if it was a competition they better have come first, because that was truly AMAZING, well done to everyone in the band, keep it up guys & you’ll be touring around the world, maybe even as the opening band for Tool & I just have to say one more time, that drummer is friggen WICKED 🤘😝🤘

[@ScCrash26]

Drummer did an excellent job, but that kid on guitar stole the show for me. His tones, timing, were perfect! ❤🤘🍻

[@DrGsVidz]

Whoop! Class of 2006 here...if grad school counts :) !

[@jaredsantos5003]

Interesting 🤔. I'm a guitar player, and definitely agree he was flawless. But that drumming is SO complex. There just aren't many people who can keep that polyrhythmic timing no matter how much they practice. But the reality is they were all impressive and should be proud.

[@mybluguitar6051]

Class of 2020! Gig em'

[@DrGsVidz]

@@mybluguitar6051 👍

[@Bad_At_Golf89]

It's a breath of fresh air to see the younger generation getting after it like this! Great job, guys! This is not a song you just "do". Props to you guys! Side note to the drummer...pulling off a Danny Carey set is a next level accomplishment! Keep it up!

[@boyo3221]

great job guys. killer

[@Hat_Uncle]

Ok, PLEASE keep doing your thing as long as you love doing it! The passion spills out.

[@daveismoseley]

The drummer is my gardener’s apprentice’s cousin in law. I’m super proud of him.
