Tool - Forty Six & 2 - Drum Cover

[@tkelly830]

I can watch your covers literally all day brother. The audio and video quality is superb, and the playing is always top notch as well 👊

[@mgtimp]

Tim, really appreciate that!! :D. Thanks for all your support and awesome feedback!!👊

[@tkelly830]

Any time brother 👊

[@fisheresque]

This is without a doubt the most accurate version of this drum cover I could find on youtube and I have spent a significant amount of time transcribing this song for accuracy. There are other way more popular covers of this song out there that aren’t this good. Didn’t go unnoticed :) great job!

[@mgtimp]

+fisheresque Thank you very much for your kind words! Means a lot! Glad you enjoyed this and found it useful! By the way, great job on yours as well!

[@pablomontero980]

The look at 4:31 before the solo and the following air intake, hahahaha, I could "read" something like: "ok... let´s do it... it´s gonna be fucking doomsday" and bro... IT WAS!!! Congrats!!!

[@SuperEvilFigures]

One of the best (maybe THE BEST) cover of Tool of all time. This is the only one I've found that doesn't turn the original track up loud. Here you can clearly hear all the drum work.

[@mgtimp]

Wow, thanks! Rock on!

[@bekkison]

Amanda Dal's version is worth taking a look at.

[@Samuel-yt9ty]

I had to stop myself from watching all your videos in one sitting. Great stuff!

[@joseignaciohileradorna5122]

love how you implemented the bongos

[@mgtimp]

+Jose Hilera Thanks! It was the closest sound I could come up with:)

[@TheUpsdriver]

Cleanest cover I've EVER seen of this song!

[@mgtimp]

Thanks man :D Means alot! 👊

[@DaysieRose]

That look he gives the camera, like "bout to rock your world" and sir you absolutely did! Amazing video man, thank you so so so much!

[@poppylilly8323]

My dad showed me this awhile back glad I found it again

[@mgtimp]

Cool! Glad you like it! I plan to do more Tool in the near future;)

[@poppylilly8323]

Matt Grubbs​ Definitely will be watching we're both tool fans

[@mgtimp]

Appreciate the support:) Check out Lateralus if you haven't already, it will probably be early fall before I'm able to complete a new Tool cover \m/

[@madmaxx010]

Great job!!! I joined a cover band once that said they did this tune before with their old drummer. I spend a solid 5 days working it out at home until I had it down. Got to rehearsal the following week just to be told "I was playing it wrong." Come to find out, they were doing the Bar band version of it with said "old drummer". I made them learn it correctly, or I wasn't doing. 2 months later, we finally pulled it off. Just some bands you don't fudge through. TOOL is definitely one of those bands. Keep up the good work!

[@sergiocabal5690]

Are you aware of HOW EPIC THAT WAS? EXCELENT MAN.

[@mgtimp]

+Sergio Cabal Thanks! Glad you liked it! It's always awesome to hear that kind of feedback!

[@CHolder6081]

You're my new favorite KZbin cover drummer. Keep up the great work!

[@mgtimp]

Hey thanks so much for the kind words and stopping by to check out some videos!! :-)

[@Quentwo]

You're playing all those covers so well I'm smiling while watching 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@sebar4123]

Man... I wish I ever get to be this skilled in the drums! In my opinion, You and Josh Steffen are the best drummers out there

[@mgtimp]

Thanks so much man!!! I watch him all the time! I'm flattered to be mentioned in the same sentence with Josh Steffen!! :D

[@sebar4123]

Matt Grubbs Jaja really? I thought people would tell you that a lot jaja

[@mgtimp]

Well, I'm just a small time KZbinr. It would be great to have that many subs some day! 😉

[@sebar4123]

Matt Grubbs you’ll surely get there with your skills man! It’s just a matter of time

[@CobraKyle]

Very good stuff. Your drums sound huge!

[@mgtimp]

+Cobra Drums Thanks man!

[@TheAdamConners]

Those drums sound remarkable. Great job dude. Nailed it

[@mgtimp]

Appreciate it!

[@matsas7576]

Very nice job you work this song a lot time

[@Xcelperformance]

So crisp and you make it look easy!

[@mgtimp]

+Julie Helton Thanks!

[@MrFunnymanproduction]

I love watching your covers you are one of the best keep rocking it

[@syrinxdude]

Whoa! Maybe the most accurate 46 & 2 on the net...drums sound great, tuned perfect...Bravo...

[@mgtimp]

+syrinxdude Thanks! That's nice of you to say. I appreciate it:)

[@drumslayer0616]

Nice! This helped me learn it better than many other covers

[@jammurderer274]

dat look before the solo lol

[@lauragrl16]

Great cover !! Love how you used the bongo! I so want to learn this song. On my list to learn.

[@Biswalt]

Bra-fuckin'-vo. I've watched a lot of people do this song and it's always missing something. But you nailed this song! Awesome.

[@mgtimp]

+Biswalt That's great to hear! Really appreciate it! :D

[@ogk9678]

Awesome job bro! Seen this performed by Tool many times & you're right on point!

[@mgtimp]

+OG Kronix Wow, thanks so much for that! Appreciate it! :D

[@troybashDrums769]

Killed it dude this is one of my favorite covers you've done I watch it all the time not being biased on being a Danny Carey fan, you seriously knocked this one out of the park🤘🏻

[@mgtimp]

Thanks a bunch man! Enjoy your covers as well!!

[@jaredflood7580]

Love your style , I have that A custom EFX but I'm far from your level of playing great stuff you can tell this guy has the patience to study the literature of drumming , that's what I want to learn

[@gregli236]

You've nailed it down and served it with attitude!

[@mgtimp]

HaHa! Thanks! 😉

[@anishkhadka9400]

dude u killing it....so tight ..nice and clean....drum sound,your playing...everything is badass.....its a humble request for u to make drum lesson..please

[@mgtimp]

Thank you!! :) Did you take a look at the sheet music in the description box? What part would you like to see explained?

[@stevegrisham2313]

Great Job! i was fortunate to meat Danny at a show in Miami backstage

[@Eurok666]

I will only be able to play the last cymbal hits hahahah ! It's a hard piece of drum and you made a great job !

[@JonnyPewPew]

Love how your drums sound

[@epsilonzeromusic]

man!! that sneaky double bass lick at 5:10 felt so damn good!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@mgtimp]

Thanks!

[@Rudog47]

I love the bass drum sound!

[@mgtimp]

Rudog47 Thanks man! Audix D6 does it's job well!

[@doxcel]

like others have said seen so many versions of this and your's is one of the best

[@mgtimp]

+James Smith Hey thanks really appreciate that!😀

[@doxcel]

I am so in awe of people like yourself, I dream of being able to play to that standard, so take a bow and Rock On.

[@mgtimp]

Will do! Many thanks James for the amazing compliment! :)

[@Eurok666]

Nice kit and well used ! Congrats !

[@toddc7450]

That was unbelievable dude!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly

[@BobbyJetty1502]

Kick sounds great. P.S. try using your bottom hat on top and see the difference in cut and bounce your sticks get. Only works if your bottom hat isn't a sound wave.

[@armandosaldivar8086]

Best cover I've seen. Props

[@dangibs2694]

You owned it like a Boss. Nice work.

[@a.a.d.6374]

Wow! You're the first I found that sounds just like the record. Can I sample this?

[@smackdabtkb]

Remo pinstripes on the toms! my man, only those heads ever.

[@JorgeStJorge]

Damn, you have mad skills Matt! Very impressive as Tool songs are not easy to do, but you played this flawlessly! Just subbed!

[@mgtimp]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate that Jorge:)

[@brianshackelford8299]

Masterful. Incredibly well-played 🤘🤘

[@mgtimp]

Thank you!

[@MajoBrutvan]

amazing bro ! awesome played, excelent sound , especially sound of the toms !

[@mgtimp]

Thanks so much man! :D Appreciate it!!! :-)

[@baconstrips6260]

Thats definitely worth a sub my dude, great job!

[@BoogieRevolver]

Awesome Matt. Really enjoyed listening to this!

[@mgtimp]

+BoogieRevolver Thanks for watching:)

[@a7xfan4life666]

So flawless. You are a god.

[@99bajakid]

@Matt Grubbs - Just throwing this out there, is there any way I can get a link to just the drum recording? I'm new to recording on a computer and would love to have a drum track of this song to mess around with mixing etc (I play guitar and bass) if you'd like I can give you a final copy of my project if you wish. Feel free to message me, and i'll give you my details. Thank you so much for reading, your cover is fantastic btw. I used to play with a drummer back in San Diego, and he was the only other person who would consistently nail Tool on the drums - you rock man. \m/

[@samcampbell1351]

How do you do that grove around 2:52 so flawlessly!!? The fuck man? That's the hardest part of the song to learn for me.

[@timozickel215]

You nailed it!

[@varela79]

Dude, that kick drum sou nds SPECTACULAR! Good job on the cover too! Are you using the Audix's D series all the way around or do you have a 52 or 112 for the kick?

[@mgtimp]

Jaime, thanks man! :D It's the Audix D6.

[@wmjoca]

I would love to see you do a Cover of Aja

[@HAL_9000__]

OK. I know nothing about drumming, BUT damn, your cover sounds so precise. Mechanical, in fact. Excellent job! Been checking out a couple of covers of this Tool tune because I saw that Nandi Bushell covered it and I wondered how she actually did. Was she any good? Have you seen it? Opinion?

[@rambler429]

A drummer that reads sheet music?!? Note perfect.

[@mgtimp]

+rambler429 👍😀

[@ZaxDrumsGolfandMore]

Matt this sounds great and those cymbals sounds great actually the whole kit has a nice deep sound!! Awesome cover!!! Those quads where awesome around 5:00

[@mgtimp]

+Zax Drum Covers Thanks! Yes, I kind of miss these deep toms and 22" kick. My current set is more compact. Haha! Thanks! I actually was only playing 3 notes each time, R-L-K (Bonham triplet). Not sure if that's what Carey plays, but that was what seemed to work for me.

[@ZaxDrumsGolfandMore]

Oh okay I thought I heard quads but triplets are also cool sounding!! But you can tune th compact kit to have similar sound or not?

[@mgtimp]

Oh, the new set sounds great! It's a DW:) Yes, the toms can be tuned many different ways, but the 20" kick just doesn't have the same sound as a 22".

[@ZaxDrumsGolfandMore]

Matt Grubbs Okay I understand with the bass now!!

[@Discoveringbandsbymichaelnagy]

Wow this is pro level! Perfect

[@mgtimp]

Thanks so much! Appreciate that!! :D

[@nataliacarraramicropigment6556]

Hi, matt. This vídeo is amazona! Congratulei. The link with the transcription is not working. Could you send me a functioning link? Thanks 🥰

[@tracelawson1367]

You deserve more credit man

[@mgtimp]

Thanks, I appreciate it!!!

[@nirajlama5325]

dude you made it look easy. kudos

[@mgtimp]

Wow, thanks! :-)

[@xasumerian]

Amazing stuff man!! Have you a drums only version of this? I’m dying to record a cover of this but can’t find a version 😩

[@samirghimire2609]

Add some sound of the cymbals in the background. Sounds a little hollow. Other than that, its marvellous.

[@JamesPhillipsMusic]

Very clean and controlled! Great job man :)

[@mgtimp]

Thanks so much!!! :)

[@angus09able]

Skills man, immense skills epic video

[@mgtimp]

+angus layclark Hey thanks a lot!!!

[@LuisCuadraDark]

Excellent Cover !!!

[@mgtimp]

+BatTheDrummer Do Thanks!

[@supergwen3]

Love it! Great job!

[@Gingerbearded]

amazing work man, i'm astonished!

[@mgtimp]

+Ivo Petrovski Thanks! Really appreciate it!

[@XxoLdSchOoLmUsIcxX]

Nice drum cover !

[@datalondojones7969]

Damn! I guess Messi doesn't just kill it playing soccer, he is a monster drummer as well!

[@StickFigure426]

Nice job dude. Killed it 👏

[@arguy2021]

Out of curiosity, did you use the audix DP7 pack condensers as overheads? If so, how much eq and compression did you add? I want to know what the soundscape is without changes.

[@mgtimp]

Matt Cox Yes, I used the Audix condensers overhead a few feet apart and pointing straight down. In my first video I neglected to center the snare between the overheads so there might have been some phasing. The only thing with eq was bass and snare. After fixing my overhead positioning I started using eq on the toms in addition, but have never tried using eq on the overheads. I'm new to the recording side of things.

[@DrummerNick]

absolutely professional!

[@mgtimp]

+Drummer Nick Thanks Nick! I appreciate it!

[@drummercarson896]

Awesome drum cover

[@JustCallMeAlec]

4:30 I just got chills. EDIT: 5:00 Twice

[@mgtimp]

Just Call Me Alec Haha...thanks man!

[@JustCallMeAlec]

Matt Grubbs No problem, you deserve it, with your awesome self, there.

[@drperkyreal4686]

How do you edit without editing

[@whacktom8190]

Yeah I hear people like my mom say that music can give you chills, but I just don’t get it

[@ReikiBarbosa]

Nailed it! Great work dude

[@mgtimp]

Thanks man!! :D

[@micheltremblay8914]

wow !!really nice session!!!!!!!!

[@bobsmythe9949]

Very well done.

[@WampaOne]

I’m 1min in and he’s nailing it.

[@vigilhammer]

Awesome stuff

[@TheMatthew427]

Great cover, you made it look effortless. Hard to do that with Danny Carey.

[@mgtimp]

Thank you! That's great to hear for sure!!! :)

[@bobaasmr9347]

What chart did you use?

[@1blackie4]

Epic as it gets🤟😎

[@jaredgoogoo5852]

Where do you get the sheet music?

[@StiGy]

Its so fun to hear!

[@mgtimp]

+StiGy Glad you liked it:) Thanks!

[@avinashmj6243]

Great cover! You should cover "Third eye" by Tool.

[@mgtimp]

+Avinash MJ More Tool very soon my friend! :). Thanks for watching!

[@avinashmj6243]

Matt Grubbs cheers!

[@mgtimp]

Avinash MJ 😀

[@thezerofret8046]

Excellent work, sir! 🧐

[@mgtimp]

Thanks man! :D

[@btlhorwood]

Nice chops bro

[@mgtimp]

Appreciate it! 👊

[@72grantorino]

If you haven't already, you should take a shot at covering "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads.

[@AgentNight1]

omg man I fucking love your cymbals

[@JefePlaysDrums]

Yo, the link to drumscore.com is broken. Can your transcriptions be accessed anywhere? Great job btw.

[@mgtimp]

Thank you! Yes the sheet music for all the songs I transcribe is available in the description box of each video. This transcription though is not mine. It is from drumscore. I just clicked the link and it still works. I’m not sure what problem you’re having. maybe try again.

[@JefePlaysDrums]

Matt Grubbs there are a few songs that are not on drumscore, any idea where to get drumless tracks for other Tool songs?

[@mgtimp]

If you mean Dan didn't transcribe every Tool song and post it to Drumscore that is correct. Have you checked out John Kerr at jkdrumsolutions? He has transcribed just about every Tool song you would want to learn. Yes, search KZbin for drumless versions, but I wasn't using a drumless version in this or any of my other Tool covers. Hope that helps!

[@johngavin1448]

killed it dude!

[@mgtimp]

Thanks man!!! :D

[@kevinsoriano26]

What interface are you using ?

[@mgtimp]

Mackie Onyx 1640i Firewire Mixer.

[@dgruehn]

F... ING... KILLER.... WELL DONE...

[@tkk73]

Best part of all this? Your drumming. Even better...you mixed this so that we HEAR them. Too often this is not the case.

[@mgtimp]

+TKK129 Thanks so much! Appreciate the good words:)

[@nram3930]

Sick.

[@Michal844]

Im scared during this film and worried that he will make a mistake :) really nice job by the way :)

[@gtludwig41]

amazing

[@mgtimp]

+greg thompson Thanks a lot Greg!

[@bksniperguy]

are we not going to talk about 2:18 ?

[@RafaeruTheKing]

good stuff, man.

[@mgtimp]

+RafaeruTheKing Thanks!

[@jirapatthaenphromrat2910]

I didn't realize how difficult this song actually is...

[@chadthegiga6235]

So many polyrhythms
