Tool - Lateralus [clone cover]

**If you plan to share this video, do not download it. Use the direct YouTube link from this original upload only.

Here’s a clone cover of Lateralus for the Tool fans, dedicated to my uncle who showed me Tool as a kid. Can't get out and play live shows these quarantine days, so this was a project I took on. Rehearsed and planned for about two months till I had everything reliably on lock, lots of technical trial and error to get the "vibe" and tones set, all parts were recorded in one take and captured simultaneously with the videos. Every sound in this video was 100% recreated from scratch for this cover. No sounds/samples were taken or used from the original song or elsewhere. I had to buy some gear beforehand such as the bass whammy and a certain mic I needed for the hi hat, I even tried to rent a gong for the ending part Danny does from a place called Gongs Unlimited in Nebraska. After calling them and getting the dimensions, it was physically impossible to fit behind the kit, as this drum setup was already tight and I’m always pressed for image frame space while shooting these clone vids. Also I used a kick drum with a single head for the intro buildup part. It had that “cardboardy” sub frequency sound I was looking for. I added double-tracked guitars and double tracked vocals after the fact, all in the same spots that are done on the original song. I put more of a personal twist on the vox for this one and just had fun with it. No tabs were used so some things may be played differently from an “official” standpoint. If you want to know more technicals about the production, send me an email on my channel info page. Despite some extremely frustrating moments along the way, in the end I had a badass time doing this cover. Peace

**I DO NOT IN ANY WAY claim the rights to this song, and thanks to Tool for being the timeless, revolutionary, and genius band they are.

Guys I really apologize for the ads popping up mid video. Just to say, I am not making any money from this video. It got instantly copyright claimed and demonetized and all ad revenue is going to the copyright owner. I am going to try to work out some type of revenue sharing just for the fact of being able to control mid video ads. As a music channel I never put ads mid video, it ruins the listening experience.

this guy played tool so much he learned how to clone himself

[orangewhisperer]

My man is so dedicated to safety that he social distances from himself.

[sambraingotacrush]

Hope they don't break up like most bands do.

[ADirtyLeviathan]

By far one of the most accurate and clean covers of this extremely difficult song I’ve ever heard. And it’s ONE PERSON. Special props him for being able to do the drums.

I don’t think people realize how impressive this is. This might be one of the most impressive things I’ve ever watched.

[andrasvarga]

Dude: What instrument do you play?
clone: Yes.

[AtrolinK]

"what's your job?"
"I'm a musician"
"really? and what instrument do you play?"
"it's complicated.."

[theobrigida]

that's the smallest kit I think I ever saw play flawlessly tool, congrats my dude!

[charlesneve]

Killer! It would be more realistic if your singing clone was facing the far corner of the room.

[FoldPaper]

5 mins into the video and I’m just realizing that they’re all him

[polorat]

I still can’t believe what I just watched. One of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen. Anyone else see what I just saw holy shit

[Cryatrix]

I have never, honest to god, heard a cover that is SO FAITHFUL IN EVERY ASPECT to the original song.

Fucking brilliant.

[theridor]

No gong hit so only giving this an 11 out of 10.

[oliverfanene]

I can't belive this guy cloned himslef just so he could be in his own band. Incredible!

[nolanforcier]

the drums im a drummer, and to be able to pull this off from just the percussion perspective is unreal alone. Now add in EVERYTHING omg!!!! talent to the infinite power!!

[anthonywilliamscreates]

The moment when you stupidly realize "Wait..it's all the same guy?!"

[PPTheKop]

I can't decide if you're a better drummer, bassist, guitarist or a singer. You've spiralled out, my friend!

[zulyelfik]

YouTube doesn't deserve you mate, you're too sick 😎

[rossaann]

I've never seen anyone capture the essence of Adam Jones so tastefully and gracefully.
