I love, love, love!!! that you said at the end that "He just told you a story" it's such a key to how he works There are little hints to what he's about to do in his dynamics, like after that amazing polyrhythmic stage he threw in the syncopated tom that you freaked out over; that was a hint that the song was about to resolve back into the main beat after one measure, and those hints for what's to come are all through the song, and most tool songs. I heard the idea originally in an interview with Tim "Herb" Alexander from Primus (a band Danny filled in for during a tour, and good friends I believe).
It's so amazing, the skill and technique, then the story telling element, how hard he hits when it takes off, and the smiles and looks of excitement and childish joy when it gets to the parts he loves. The octopus is god, amazing reaction to it, you spelled it out perfectly.
One thing I'm not sure of though is how people mention how relaxed he looks during the insane polyrhythm moments, I always looked at that as a state of intense concentration, it almost reminds me of the look Videogame speed runners have when doing frame perfect maneuvers in record runs, it seems zoned out and chill, but I think there's so much concentration going on there, maybe even incorporating meditation techniques for focus and breath control.
He isn’t just an amazing Dungeon Master…. But he knows his music too CHEERS!!!!
I love how these Pneuma reaction videos start with optimistic head nodding, descend into confusion and end in an orgasm of admiration.
Best description I've read yet. 🤣🤣🤣
Ok, so we'll count along and see what he's up to.
30 seconds later
I'VE LOST THE ONE, I'VE LOST THE FUCKING ONE!!!!
Nailed it
Yep
Literally every single one haha
Danny Carey looks like the kind of person you could chill out with with a beer at a barbecue talking about lawns.
I liked the comment, "song hasn't started yet, and Danny has already done things that we can't do".
CORRECTION: I meant to say Danny can do all of the layering while staying on the central beat of the song WITHOUT CLICK TRACK.... I have seen many interviews where he talks about how it bothers him how most bands use them and lose the feel of spontaneity.... ok you May continue the crucification of me in my reaction lol
When I first tapped on this I was worried about the length. Knew there would be a lot of stopping and talking but this is the first video of yours I’ve ever watched and you made the 34 minutes go by with a lot of excellent feedback and information. Worth the watch
I was about to reply lol.
Danny IS the click track my friend.....XD
@@preziveoklot yup. The human metronome
Dude your "oh" at 25:24 reminded me of my friend of a long time when he wanted me to look at something..usually a hit girl. Lol. I laughed and replayed it several times. Thanks for the good laugh.
"Push the envelope..."
*looks around and whispers* "....watch it bend."
i literally scrolled down to see if anyone said this lol
His technique is absolutely flawless from a life of training as a top level Jazz drummer. Its all about that top level jazz training hes gotten since middle school
If you stopped listening in 99 you have 3 Tool albums to catch up on..... 4 if you count Salival. Have FUN!
I understand why he stopped. I hated Lateralus. It sounded like one run-on song. It’s like they took the Rob Zombie playbook of every song sounds the same (cause it works) to a new level. The whole damn album sounds the same like one continuous song). I, kept listening, however because, musicians are artists. And artists have to always try new things, regardless of reception. Tool will always be my favorite band. In front of RATM and Metallica, in that order. I’m an old f^cker.
Salival is a criminally underrated live album.
@@bigtay522 There are 3 live songs on Salival maybe that’s why you haven’t heard it being listed as live album?
@@frankiek2269 Kind of surprised you said that, because almost every comment that I see, people say that Lateralus is their favorite Tool album.
@@nickavenoso7851 Funny. Most ppl think Kleenex is a noun, instead of a brand. Can’t help stupid.
I've been watching a bunch of Tool reaction stuff and I FINALLY found what I was looking for: the right mixture of appreciation and technical explanation. Thanks so much! Definitely subscribing ❤️ P.S. I wouldn't feel self-conscious about pausing or talking too much. That's why we're here, to get an educated opinion on our favorite music. 🤘
For the record, Tool never broke up.
Paul got frustrated and split mid album. Never heard a bad word about him. 46 2 is Justin’s thank you for letting me join the band gift !!
@Ben W a pity you feel that. For me, this is one of their top 5 songs.
@Ben W all good my friend, the world would be even more boring if we all liked exactly the same songs 🙂
Probably the single best reaction video I’ve seen, and I thought I’d seen them all at least once. I appreciate your input and how you geeked out. It builds credence into what Danny is doing, not that credence was needed. I learned a lot from you through your explanation into the intricacies of what he was doing.
I love how that fill at 27:11 is perfectly synced to the guitar strokes, freaking magic
EXACTLY!!!! I am so happy that someone finally noticed that! This is one of the best moments in this song and Danny’s work he’s done in Pneuma. Few great seconds In the history of music! Thanks !
Yessss! Because the song comes to him nearly completed, he adds the drums LAST (read that somewhere). So it syncs at times with the vocal (one. breath.), guitar, and obviously with the base. He's like the spider webbing it all together. It's so beautiful...
@@solac388 hi 25 yr Toolfan here. That was Maynard who said that about the songs coming to him nearly completed.
Im curious after you reacting to this, how many times have you watched it?
I myself since this video came out have watched it maybe couple hundred times. Anyone else watch it more, just curious 🤘
i heard this album maybe 200 times
Same here.
@Scott M. Moore to me it descending
Sounds about right for me as well!
oh the days when I was only at a couple hundred...😂 Good times back then. Younger days.
FINALLY A DRUMMER THAT BREAKS THIS LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE DOWN!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
The more I watch this video, the more certain I become that Danny has at least 20 magical timekeeping elves in each arm and leg.
Proper analysis, and I felt your passion for what is surely one of the greats. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and what you had to share with us, thank you very much. I'll sub and be back for more :)
Thank you for your amazing words, Danny Carey for me is one of the greats up with John Bonham, Neal Peart, Max Roach, Ginger Baker and Buddy Rich
I’ve seen Tool 5 times now and was at this show. I’d pay just to watch Danny Carey drum.
Whoa whoa whoa, no clic track!
These are real musical talents
The affirmation that TOOL BROKE UP/GOT BACK TOGETHER........what are you talking about?
Incorrect.
Plus, Danny Doesn't play to a click.
This is far and away the best “Tool Reaction” video I’ve seen and I absolutely love it “Tool Reaction” videos
Each of Danny's stick is in its own time signature. This isn't a reaction video this is more an academic paper and commentary. This is superior content.
Tool has a lead drummer and a rhythm vocalist. Best reaction bar far
Ask anyone commenting. This drum cam video is addictive. I don't know how many times I have watched someone react to it. I saw the original video when it had 120,000 views. Now it has millions. For good reason.
Trying to describe what Danny does as syncopation is like trying to describe Stephan Hawking with just the word space.
Danny plays polyrythms. He is actually capable of playing a different time signature with each limb at the same time.
That was safely one of the best breakdowns of this video I have seen. Thank you! 👍
Although I'm still in pain, that you talked through the amazing climax of that outstanding build up. 😭 But that's ok, I can watch the original as often as I want, right? And I did already countless times. 🙈
Danny is a god, period.
And thank you for pointing out that song from TDG, I have the album and will relisten that song with focus on what you explained.
This track and these musicians are so good, why would anyone be not willing to listen and watch an oldskool fanatic analyse the shit out of every single thread of this wonderful fabric?
Thanks dude, that was very entertaining.
Respect for Danny, Tool and oldskool trained senses. Absolutely loved this!
"Tool is a band with a lead drummer and a rhythm singer." - paraphrased from another reaction video comment section.
That might have been me. I got a lot of upvotes on that comment :P
@@sintaxera great comment mate! I had to ring my brother to share it after reading it. Nearly blew my mind as much as Danny....nearly. :P
The problem is every one of these guys could’ve been a boss in their own projects, it’s not that Justin sucks he just gives and flows where needed.. a guy like Ryan martinie would’ve been weird in this band. Adam is amazing he just gives you the ambiance sounds 80% of the time because that’s what makes this band, you wouldn’t want a sinister gates in this band. Maynard isn’t the focal point either he (even with amazing lyrics) blends most of the time. Danny is the most noticeable because of how good he is in most of their music, but listening to them so intently for as much as I try to it’s no 1 lead, it’s all a perfect machine.
This is the best analysis I've seen, and Ive been obsessing over reactions to this video more than I want to admit
I watch all these Danny Carrey reactions and I really enjoyed this. Your breakdown and the way you just enjoyed it. Great reaction my friend!
You're the first I've watched to give props to vic firth...great reaction! Take care! He's the matrix
good response. Most people just try to figure out the count, and not everything else happening. You broke it down much better.
Of all the reactions, this is the best I’ve seen. You knew what he was going to do before he did it. Danny is so good bc he doesn’t seem to know he’s Danny Carey. He’s just the most humble, & best (living) guy on the drums…& he’s barely trying. New subscriber!
Danny doesn't play to a click my dude.
Danny Carey:
"Robert Fripp would be the one stood there on the side of the stage, digging it because we weren’t syncing to some bullsh*t like so many other bands.
“We were actually playing live. It’s a sad thing when almost every band you see playing isn’t doing that, it’s the clicks and backing tracks that are keeping time. I’ve never played to a click on stage in my life…”
“You have to put yourself in this environment that’s vulnerable and just f*cking go off in the moment."
@@johnwilson1794 f*@king absolutely
@@danielfield1692 I had the privilege of seeing them live in January in Melbourne Australia. One of their last shows before Corona. 🙏
@@johnwilson1794 I saw them in January both shows in San Diego they never disappoint live...
@@johnwilson1794 where was this said!!
Danny "The Octopus" Carey
I've seen A LOT of reaction videos to this song, I think you explain the genius of Danny Carey in the most accessible way (for non-musicians). Thank you SOOO much for sharing your insights and knowledge.
agreed but he stops way way way to much. Break it down after or stop and make a point to come back to. The video loses all of its flow. He is pointing out things that he isnt giving people a chance to listen to what he is explaining. its annoying, and i watch a shit ton of reaction vids. Talking over the song muted in the background isnt a great thing either. Listen to it!!!!! grrrrrrrr
@@jamesgoods9807 practice patience.
God bless you for not falling into the trap of even trying to count out what timing the bulk of this song is in- I've watched *so* many reactions, some by accomplished technical drummers, where they miss half of what you talked about because their instinct was to solve the riddle by trying to count it out on first play-thru.... which is not a doable thing!! LOL
....& besides, the look on that 58yr-old's face when he's slapping the shizzle out of that kit with the aplomb of a talented teenager unleashing thru the 4/4 choruses is the most enjoyable part of this for me anyhoo.
All the best from a random Tool & Jinjer fan in Scotland. :)
p.s. Vlad's drumming is one of the main reasons I love Micro EP & Macro LP from Jinjer too btw.
Ok. I saw your video was a bit long but I love this song so I watched. Then you were talking over the song and stopping it so often I thought I would go crazy but I still watched. I found myself listening and absorbing your knowledge. I found myself anticipating your amazement while learning more about how a drummer thinks about drumming than I ever thought I would know.
Great reaction, you long winded know it all! Loved it. Watched the whole thing and gave it a like. Peace. :)
This is most definitely the best breakdown of this video I’ve seen
Watching you get excited over Danny and his build up!!! Is amazingly epic!!!
IMO, the beginning is not just playing off-beat, the number of beats per measure also changes. Didja notice when he is playing the part with the double-strokes, he keeps a consistent beat with the hi-hat? And at certain times he plays the hi-hat accents with the opposite hand. What he plays is not ad-lib, it's how it's written and what is played on the album. Just amazing.
Truly is amazing
Because of Danny Carey, I just became a Tool fan.
Danny has a solo song on the new album it's called Chocolate Chip Trip. I'm fairly sure that you'll like it.
Just 40 times….lol I’m way ahead of that! Great reaction man. Thanks 🙏
I believe the studio version and this live version are exactly the same. Badass.
Appreciate you OldSkuleNerd..............
You are right. He knows exactly when and what... this is identical to the studio version. I'm not even a drummer and I swear , I must have watched it 2-3 hundred times! I am hypnotized by his drumming...really great reaction and helpful for a non drummer to comprende
I feel like Danny heard some Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart and taught himself to play their drum battles by himself. He's pushed his ability to resemble a Neil Peart Mick Fleetwood battle. He's an octopus with a metronome in each appendage. Great breakdown, man
Thanks for your critique of the GOAT
More fanboy than criticism honestly Peart, Carey, Bonham and other just inspire me
Love the channel man. Good shit. Really appreciate the knowledge and the perspective you're putting out there.
He’s always watching his band mates, never just concentrating on the kit.
I stumbled across the original video thanks to the TH-cam algorithm. I mediated came to your channel to see if you reacted to it.
I was not disappointed.
Awesome! In terms of musical journeys, 7empest from the same album is also top-notch. They won grammy for it.
Culling Voices is the penultimate build up song. Instant goosebumps every time
Biggest thing that blows me away is Danny is 60!!
He's still pushing the envelope while most people that age have tapped out
"Its simple but its not" its simple until you start to think about it. Ive counted 11 different time signatures but depending on how you count it. The 4/4 was just the break for him. Becuase that part of the song you aren't listening to him.
The time you were talking and missed he did a thing very exceptional where his one limb was going very different as compared to his other limb and those to were going differently if we'll see his leg! It's like he has a personal brain in each of his limbs!
Best Explanation of what the hell Danny Carey is actually doing I've ever heard! Thank you. I needed that!
Not sure you caught this (or even if I'm totally right) but the segment starting at 21:07 on your video:
He's playing a swiss triplet (leaving the first note out to start) which is LRR-LRR. Left hand on toms/pads, right on Korg wavedrum. Then he adds hi-hat that is on a polyrhythm to the right hand. Kick starts emulating bass line, then switches to 8 on the floor while adding elements to the pattern. Some time he switches the left hand to double strokes, so its RR-L-L- , maintaining the triplet feel. Eventually the patter tightens up: Count how many elements he hits with right hand starting with snare at 24:10: he hits 5 elements, then four, then three, then two before the ending snare hits when double bass starts.
P.S. I'm still trying to get the rhythm of the hi-hat down; can't seem to get the count right (doesn'tt help my drum kit has been in storage for years) but I refuse to just google it. Tool wants you to think about their music, not just have it handed to you.
This may be the best breakdown I've watched of this video, and I've seen many many reactions to Danny playing this. Big props good sir, big props!
If you like that type of drumming you should look at Tomas Haake (Meshuggah) - Clockworks. AFAIK Meshuggah and Tool toured together 20 years ago, and after that Danny started to play more polyrythms
Meshuggah!!
I was there
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this amazing detailed analysis and reaction. I watch this performance video literally every day, and hearing your thoughts helped me appreciate it in new ways. I'm looking forward to watching your other vids now, and I'm subscribing for sure.
I think I have seen 90% of the reaction videos to this (from drummers). This is by far the best breakdown I've seen. I'm a guitar player (play mostly Tool) but I love hearing drummers talk shop. Thanks so much! Great job and I love the enthusiasm!
Im not a drummer, but by God, ive watched this 50 times now. Youre so right. - he tells a drum story. Profound experience. Thanks for being in awe.👍
Damn, you're last comment about him staying on beat and groove, never noticed. Cheers! Subbed!
This is what a masterpiece looks like.
I’ve listened to tool for so long that I’ve been conditioned to believe these time signatures are normal.
When I saw Tool was on March 7th 1992. Such a great time 😃...so long ago 🤣
man, and I would watch this with you all 40 times, just smile, listen to them, watch a master do his job and appreciate your knowledge about this stuff
Not only does Danny always know where he is, but the live performances of just about every song is absolutely note for note IDENTICAL to the album version, right down to the most incidental and obscure fill....
The count is interpretational but i get a count of 6 6 2 6 6 2 5 or 33/8 and as crazy as that count is Danny just rips those time signatures apart with his subdivisions
@OldSkuleNerd this is by far the best reaction video I’ve ever seen, most reactions are crap created out of lust for profit but you just gave me a whole new perspective for this song from a drummers perspective. Bravo buddy.
GAH!!! You stopped right at the treat
Seriously he ruined the reaction by talking over the best parts. The emotional response completely lost.
Yes, loved the reaction. As someone who's knowledge of drums can be summed up in about three words ("...um... they're round?" I exaggerate... but not much.) this was fascinating to listen to. Thanks!
Right away your call outs were unique. Subbed :)
I make the same faces when Danny goes to town. Plot twist, he never stops going to town 🤣
He takes it to the big city
@@danielfield1692 😂😂😂👌
Baard Kolstad's play through of The Sky is red is amazing for any drummer to watch. Or his dueling drummers of the song Energy.
33:18 it's not just a coincidence that Neal Pert can do it. Danny is pretty much his protege, if I remember the stories correctly
3rd time watching this and will never get old.
You saw what most of felt!! Thanks Danny, Vic Firth and you for your reaction!!! We are with you on Pneuma and Tool man!! Watched his video countless times. Tool pieces together music like no other. They are all so creative!!
Best reaction to this song so far please keep doing tool! The whole new album has amazing sounds to react to bro!
I've watched a lot of reactions to this video and by far yours was the best! I had a smile on my face the whole time. You almost got me to understand it.
It was the best reaction I have seen from Danny Carey to date. Thanks for the technical explanations.
Thanks for the technical breakdown. Watched a lot of various drummers having something to say about this video but missed the real technical breakdown until now.
best breakdown to date. Most drummers can't do what he did in the first 40 seconds. Perfectly summed up.
I love your passion and know how. This vic firth video is my introduction to tool(found it yesterday) and I am stunned. Have watched it a number of tiems and then needed to go out and find drummers talking to it. Thanks.
The combination of his snare and hi-hat are sublime.
By far the best reaction video on this. Story telling. Never left the core but danced in every land of Oz along the way.
it sounds like Danny is mirroring the Bass and guitar.. then dancing around it with fills..
In 12:58, you're talking about subdivisions and the syncopations...that's one thing my band class struggled with when I was in junior high school lol I'm sitting there falling asleep in first chair in the clarinets just waiting for the others to learn how to play music with single eighth notes with quarter notes in the off beats lol
The best analytical, if that’s the proper term here, reaction I’ve seen. 👍
Danny is a fucking machine.
Plain and simple.
This has to be at least my 40-50th time watching a reaction or the original. I weep a bit when I watch the original because of the craft and beauty of it.
Great take on some of the most creative drumming you'll ever see. Danny is the next level.
You're actually wrong about Danny's performances always being identical. He specifically goes out of his way to mix up the drumming and add something new each time he plays a song live.
You saying that all of the drum fills are exactly the same every time he plays is spot on. Even on the studio version of this song all of the fills are exactly the same. Great reaction!
They're actually not.
The fills are completely different. I had to learn both versions
@@MetaFootballTV significantly different. I hadn’t heard the album version in a while, and it caught me off guard.
@@MikeyBeastPop Don't be arrogant. No song has 'both versions '. You're talking out if your rear end.
@@MattKrogmeier To assume that a song would be played live AS PER THE ALBUM VERSION is just silly.
Maynard delivers beautifully
Trys to examine Danny Carey drumming...held out for a good while, had good things to say, but you jizzed at 25:21. We all do brotha. Dont feel bad. Great video.
Syncopation = stepping out of your comfort zone😎👍
You're right about all the fills being planned on point. The studio version is exactly the same.
He never loses the thread !!
Great video!! The passion towards Danny and music in general!! LONG LIVE TOOL!!
