TOOL | THE POT | DRUM COVER. 

Next up: The Pot while smoking pot

Tool is my religion and this interpretation of the holy texts is fine by me.

THAT, my friend, is the very definition of what a "COVER" should look like. Maintaining his own signiture while respecting the whole theme. Hats off!!!

Of all the songs I've heard you play this one seems to be the one. The one that takes a lot out of a drummer mentally as much as physically and you nailed it! I'm 52 and just bought a new set of drums after laying the sticks down 25 years ago. Watching you play this cover brought back why I played and why I loved it so much! Thanks for sharing this.

Gojira- Art of Dying my dude

The one thing that I love this guy is that he completely destroyed the myth that "you need a huge kit." Dude is playing dream theater, and avenge sevenfold and tool with a three piece and single kit. There's a reason why hes quickly becoming the most popular drummer

Now imagine doing that song after song. Night after night. Danny Carey is the man. Great job SIR. Much respect for this cover.

First time I saw this guy sweating 😂 you can feel the full focus and dedication! Incredible performance with his own style but still kept the Tool taste 🤘 amazing job!

This really does it for me. The energy and concentration is outstanding. More tool would be killer

Gojira Flying Whales come on man lets gooooo

As a Danny Carey fan and seeing this played on a different sound and so well done made me feel guilty for being able to watch this for free, absolute madlad

Man, i never get tired of seeing ppl goin hard on whatever instrument and making it look effortless ... Nice work man keep killing it

SKILLS!

This reminds me of a comment made by the stage crew for our last show.. the support band was complaining the provided drum kit only had 2 toms not 3. The stage legend said, "mate, if you can't play it on 2 toms, you can't play it" This legend just proves the point.

That final "yeah" screams of many attempts at this - well done!

I can’t play like this. But, there’s something to be said for Danny Carey and the notes he doesn’t play, as much as the notes he does. Those polyrhythms just aren’t the same when every note that can possibly be played is played. It’s like the instrumental equivalent of a vocalist over singing a song. Tool is famous for the ebbs and flows of the instruments in the band, all together. If they had even one artist, and I do mean artist in the truest sense of the word, who played like this…. the band wouldn’t work. Estepario’s drum skills and speed are insane!! But, Danny Carey knows what not to play, in service of the song.

He's playing a double bass song with one foot and keeping time with the hi hat 🤯. Just incredible

The passion he displays there at the end of the video is what this channel is all about. If you have never had that feeling, you have never played a song 94x and on the 95th time.. you KILL IT! You are a legend Tio 🙌🏼 thank you for sharing

El that was the best drumming you have ever done. It had feeling, technique & passion all rolled into one. BRILLIANT! WELL DONE ! 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩

Seriously wicked timing brother. Thank you for the grooves.

The blood on the snare shows me how dedicated you are to your craft. You're a killer drummer my dude.

Te has coronado con esta macho !!!!!! Que maquina !!!!!!!

Amazing bit of drumming....absolutely brilliant!!

Insane!!! Super talented man!!!! Loving your covers and your drumming in general. Incredible!

It's as if Thomas Prigden played for Tool. This was cool. Danny's methodical approach to drumming is another level.

Me: Here comes the double kick pattern!!! oh, right. Single kick pattern... Well done, as always!

Great version of the pot.Tool my favorite band by far.I would love to hear your version of pneuma please!!!!

Absolutely incredible

¡Brutal! 👏

The cleanest, most current drummer on the internet. You can't top this guy right now.

I've been playing for 20 years, and I absolutely love this guy! What a slayer!

That's how i feel when I sing it, so much pressure building even though I am screaming.. Kick ass Drums man, hoooo eee eh ! I'm sure drumming it is the same, no matter how much you exert yourself the pressure just keeps building, such an incredible song, and your rendition is lovely. Thank you.

That scream towards the end is a perfect example of someone reeeaaallyyy enjoying what they are doing! 🤩

Gonna be sick! I'd love to see more tool covers, Danny is such a unique beast behind the kit, rock on! 🤘

Your raw emotion makes the video. Loved it

I never watched drumming so intently. It must be so invigorating. U can express every rhythm ur body reacts to . Music is so dam powerful, life saving, thank you. You are quite magnanimous.

I don’t watch other people do drum covers anymore

You are the living proof showing, that continuous practice, dedication, and devotion will make you a god in your craft! YOUR SKILLS FREAKING IMPRESS THE SHIT OUT OF ME MAN!

One of my all time favorite songs. You just keep getting better and better in my eyes. 😉

Your cymbols sound GORGEOUS

Absolutely unfathomable to say but this dude has gotten so much better since this video. This performance is unreal! His ascension to Valhalla has been fun to watch.

there are drum covers you watch to learn a song... then there a drum covers that you watch to be amazed.... this is dedication

Amazing to be so locked into yet expressive in that That Time signature! Exceptional! The exaggeration of the camera perspective made it look like that cymbal was the size of a small swimming pool.

How lucky we are to witness out of this world talent and skill like this one, which in past times we would otherwise never hear or see....

Seeing this pop up on my timeline actually made me smile, great band and a great song. ROCK ON MAN!!!

Badass interpretation. Bravo Estepario!

Nice. Your touch here is excellent.

This guy is like a Kung Fu master.. when you’ve acquired that much speed and coordination, you have to use those chops all the time everyday.. it’s always very impressive to see and hear someone so utterly dedicated and focused in such a specialized area.. it takes a will of iron to get anywhere close to that level .. Respect 🙏

incredible work sir! that end celebration could be felt !

I’ve been waiting for this for so long!

Dude...that was frickin awesome.

Been playing for 45 years.. you are by far one of the most talented drummers I have ever seen.

Every song this man covers he just kills it. What a drummer he as got me into so many new bands 🤟

I can't describe how much you motivate me to take up drums again, after more than 20 years without a stick..... I really enjoy just listening and seeing your videos. As of right now, I'm preparing for a big meeting at work and this video is the one I put on. :)

Dude, that was sick! I dig me some Tool, love to see more of this

eloy casagrande, tomas haake, mario duplantier, morgan rose, igor cavalera and u are for sure my fav drummers. u are unique man, congratulations for all u have done and are doing. u are such an inspiration

This guy's talent and sound is from a different world!!!

Love this guy. That "Yeah" at the end! Awesome. Real. Deserving.

Those little cheeky cow bells he throws in there cracks me up. Amazing job!

Llevaba esperando esto 2 años, prffff.. Este año ya no es tan puta mierda, gracias estepario. Este vídeo, no debería de tener tan pocas visitas, ahora entiendo el criterio de la gente y lo que desconoce. Buenísimo cover!!

Just found you today and you're easily in my top 10 fav drummers of all time. Your technique is ethereal. I appreciate your dedication to the craft

Excellent job on that. Not an easy song to play at all. This is one of my favorite Tool songs. Justin's meaty bass sound to me is what really makes this song great.

Incroyablement génial, une machine.

Dudes starts the pot playthrough with a bukowski quote? Huge

for 10 years of watching youtube, this is my second comment, and I wanna say that this guy is a goodie drummer, hat off !!!

The thing I find amazing about you is you do everything you do with just a snare, bass, and floor tom.

Dudes...I only need one listen. I love it! Great vocals, great bass lines, and solid drumming. Reminds me of my past rock experiences, but updated and perfect for me.

4:34 was not expecting the single foot kick pattern with the double time HH... sigh... there are levels. Amazing.

One of my favourite songs, this is amazing

I love how this dude just makes everything look so easy! It’s amazing honestly.

unbelievable Just incredible

What an inspiration! Holy shit! I've been a subscriber for while now, and let me just say, you have set the bar HIGH for the skills you can achieve behind the kit. It's an honor to witness your playing, and seeing you make a name for yourself. As a drummer myself, you've inspired me a lot to practice harder and longer than ever before. Thank you, and keep it up brother!

Brutal! Como siempre! Ya solo falta WAX SIMULACRA;THE MARS VOLTA! SALUT!gracias por super videos!

There are no limits for this guy as a drummer. Totally astounding rendition.. no.. resurrection!!

just the right amount of cowbell, definitely one of my favorite drummers, you are the man dawg, you absolutely kill it on everything you do, hats off to you bro!!!!

That was solid af. Congrats dude! Amazing cover!

Hes really super human unbelievable talent every song blows me away

glad to see a song was worthy of 2 hands this time! great cover, great song

Ahora puedo morir en paz, mi baterísta favorito tocando una canción de mi banda favorita.... Grande bro :3.. saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴🇨🇴

AMAZING !

You blow my mind every time I see you play. Simply amazing,you are a god sir.

oldie but a goodie. guys rudiments and stick control is just unparalleled man. absolutely a master of his craft.

I've seen alot of your videos and i still can't wrap my mind around how you do those fills! 1:45. Incredible.

Resto de covers: cara de felicidad Cover de Tool: cara de estar jodido

I am not a drummer. I can still recognise the pinnacle of drumming and appreciate the effort you put in to everything you do. Amazing work

You*re the man, period! Now we feel the music 🖤🖤🖤

This was one of the first songs I tried to learn on bass - maybe 10 years ago? I couldn't get the rhythm right for so long and I had to obsess and listen to it over and over and over again. I can play it now, a decade later, and I can honestly say you FUCKING NAILED IT BRO. you've maintained the groove while adding your own flair. utterly sick.

The amount of songs I have learned to play from this man, just a fantastic and entertaining drummer!

Wow... that nice face of reliefe when he has finally done it. I guess this was one of your hardest efforts. And you nailed it. Congrats!!!

1 mois que je me passe ce morceau en boucle , une prestation dementiel , surement le meilleur batteur au monde actuellement

TOOL is by far my favorite band in our universe and has been since the first time I heard them in 1995, as a drummer Danny Carey is my idol and have been fortunate to have met him at a signing and actually bumped into him at an airport in Hawaii, after watching your rendition to "THE POT" I totally dig it, I myself I cannot read music and I have learned everything I know by just practicing and feeling the rhythm, the tone, and transforming what I'm hearing flowing that through my body and seeing what comes out, so having said that I am defiantly not a professional by any means I just play what I am feeling so I can totally relate to different renditions of songs because like I mentioned before I cannot read music, So I love this man, I had to sell my drum kit a few years back in need of money, I had a 7 piece PEARL set that I loved and now I am trying hard to acquire another kit and have been just looking at a 4 piece to keep it simple and hone in and build my skill set, watching you rip up your kit just inspires me to stay on my goal. LOVE YOUR STUFF BUDDY!!!!!!

Bro, You are an absolutely astonishing drummer!!!! THE MARS VOLTA someday....

Hermano, acababa de fumar y me topé con esta joya en mis sugerencias... Sólo puedo decir WOW! Tuve la fortuna de verlos en vivo en Enero 2020 y es, sin dudas, el mejor concierto al que he ido a mis 31 años... Sin embargo, tu interpretación es magistral!!! Al final que gritaste pude sentir esa misma emoción que tú como baterista al intepretar algo que representa un reto y un gusto, me dejaste sin palabras, felicidades por el resultado de tu esfuerzo, y felicidades por tu nueva oportunidad con Saratoga (otra banda que adoro). Un abrazo desde México.

Brilliant, I adore your interpretation.

Unreal dude - that was amazing.

This guy is by far one of the best modern drummers I've seen and the way he orchestrates most of the songs with just a 3 piece kit is something to be praised and get taught from ! And oh that beard, you're full of excellence...

You make it look easy. Tu interpretación de esta canción es asombrosa.

Mind officially blown! That was awesome! 😮

You bring new meaning to every song you play sir!!!! Michael...

There’s no doubt about it that you’re on another level. I’d love to see you apply this to other genres you might like. The speed and technical precision is outrageous
