Hell, Louis Bellson and Joe Morello in their 80s could play circles around .most drummers in their 20s. I hope ol' Danny sticks around long enough to do the same.
A legendary skilled musician like Danny Carey is the result of a kid, gifted beeing born with natural talent, started to play the drums and kept on practicing with inhuman discipline and never stopped mastering new things and searching for the next level.... for around 40 years straight... haha, you will get depressive trying to reach his level because it might be impossible. You have talent? Danny aswell and you can't compensate 40 years of practice and expirience.
Someone who was at this show commented on another reaction said that after the intermission, he came out in a Lakers uniform to troll the Celtics fans. LOL
Something about Danny Carey's drumming that really sets it apart is his mastery of dynamics. A lot of drummers will be like, "Well, I'm in a metal band, so I'm just going to hammer away at my set as hard as I can the whole time," but Danny Carey plays soft, hard, and everywhere in between. A lot of people focus on how he can play different time signatures with each limb--which is really cool, to be sure--but they miss his dynamics and how he also can do that with each limb, independently. He'll be playing a soft rhythm on the hi-hat with his left foot, pounding a bass drum with his right foot, smashing away at cymbals and toms with his right hand, and playing a rhythm that varies from gentle to heavy with his left hand. That is VERY hard. You are not going to find a lot of drummers who can consistently play hard with one limb and soft with another at the exact same time, much less while playing material as complicated as Tool's.
I couldn't agree more! Also note how he turns his stick around for playing rimshots during the interlude. It's all those small nuances and dynamic changes that make him the best imo.
He listens to Indian and African drummers man. That's what sets him apart from the others. That tribal percussion comes from deep tribal rythyms, Cuban, African and Indian, you recognise them instantly if you know these sounds... That's not to say that he isn't in a league of his own, but you can tell he appreciates those deep trance like rythyms that don't obey your regular western time signarures. Igor Cavalera incorporated Brazilian rythyms into sepulturas sound and it did a similar thing in setting them apart from other bands at the time. I'm still in awe, as we all are, of how he manages to bring it all together 🥴.
He literally has a phd in percussion. He also studies sacred geometry. So, he understands that a 21/4 time signature can be played over a 6/8 if done just right.
I’m at work (911) and it’s been a shitty shift. Going on break, I saw that you’d posted this and I clicked SO FAST!!!! Mood immediately improved. Thank you for posting - your timing couldn’t have been better!!
He's on the Mt Rushmore of drummers. We can argue the other 3 but there isn't an argument that he shouldn't be up there in my opinion. One of the greatest ever
Every time I watch this video, the 3-4 minutes of polyrhythms Danny pulls off in the middle of the song just blows me away. Two different hands, two different time signatures, he works the entire kit, and never misses a beat. Just epic
Wow! I get easily bored with over-indulgent drum solos. This was fascinating to watch! He plays with such intelligence (not to mention insane skill) but so tasteful and precise. Really a wonderful thing to watch.
I love where you can see Maynard to the side watching Danny go off. Must be similar to being a teammate of Jordan back in the day. Such a treat. Hoping they (Vic Firth) release more of these in the future.
I've always loved that Maynard doesnt, and never has hogged the spotlight, he sings off in the rear in shadow usually on stage and lets the band get the spotlights for the music. They are a band that has always stayed away from celebritard nonsense. They stand on the quality of the work. Gotta respect that.
@@beganny Don't get too excited, he's in the background in shadow, you will see the Mohawk wig against the back screen it's about half way through when the camera is to Danny's right side if I recall correctly.
There is another live video to a different song from FI that I commented on. Said Maynard was like a cute little bird as he crouched over Adam while he was doing some of his patented magickery. These guys are not regular humans, tbh...
That's the difference between him and other drummers who shall go unnamed: he's an artist pushing himself to improve and master his craft. It's not just a means to an end.
This man is 58 yrs old!! Thanking the gods that I got to see Tool and Danny in Philly back in November. Thanks these videos are bringing me joy joy joy !!
I got to see them in February '20 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. First concert without any substances in over 30 years. Was well worth it, as it was the first time 7empest was ever played live.
So glad you did the live version too. I bet I've watched this video a thousand times, and every reaction to it. Best drum pov ever made. I bet I know at least 20 people that can play the other instruments in this song, I don't know a single drummer that could do that live.
Danny Carey is the greatest Drummer of all time. One doesn't just listen to Tool, you experience Tool. My favorite band. Met Danny about a year ago. Nicest most humble man. Zero ego. Love him.
Seeing him (and the rest of the members) live at Staples Center was one of the most memorable moments of my life! On top of everything else, their light show is unrivaled. 💗👍🏽🙌🏽🤘🏽
There are other drummers out there who can do these intricate triple polyrhythms, but Danny is the only one with this ability thats writing platinum records.
You know what's cool about tool is that most of their songs are about math. The skill level with all 4 of them is already there. But it's about counting and trusting each band member to. be there when you get there . It reminds me of watching the blue angels fly because that is total trust just like this
Saw them play Pneuma last night in Tacoma. It was the ABSOLUTE THUNDERDOME last night. Perfect MONSTER SOUND with perfect clarity. Amazing show! Danny rules these days...
I was lucky enough to see this song live in February a couple of weeks before everything started to get shut down. That show was just incredible, one of the best gigs I have every seen.
Yeah.....sorry folks....there just might not be another Danny Carey in this life....What an amazing Talent this man is! You may want to pay the dough to go see TOOL while they're still together....nothing lasts forever. Especially people...we have but a short time here on earth ..I never grow tired of watching talented musicians...the different time signatures, different limbs executing completely different tones and rythyms... absolutely mind blowing...I saw Tool when I was 18 at lollapalooza 98 in Kansas City at the then-called Sandstone Amphitheater!!!! What a show! Will never forget...that experience....
If you have seen Buddy Rich's Impossible Solo you would know that isn't true. There's a reason all drummers, including Peart and Carey, look up to him. th-cam.com/video/9esWG6A6g-k/w-d-xo.html But Danny is among the greatest to have ever played, no question.
New sub. I really appreciate your reactions. You are able to listen and actually HEAR the lyrics. All while keeping your comments relevant and concise without killing the vibe. Huge Tool fan here and looking forward to watching other reactions. Well done, sir!
I really like watching reaction videos to Tool because i dont know anyone else that appriciates this music. It really is art and it makes me sad that more people dont appriciate it.
I recently watched a drum teacher react to this...and he kept shaking his head and saying "you're not supposed to be able to do this stuff" And the more you learn about music the more amazing this is
I just saw Tool in March, probably the last show before all the virus stuff hit. It was completely worth it to go. These men are at the top of their game. I was blown away by them live, just fantastic
Danny is a beast! Way to rep us old timers! And yes Jamel your videos do bring some joy to us in this time of trouble. We have to stick together to get through this!
I was supposed to see Tool the day you uploaded this! I'm looking forward to the time when that'll be possible again. I highly recommend checking them out live if you have the chance.
At least Boston gave him permission to wear the jersey. I do remember a couple of live performances where he was wearing non designated laker colors...coming from Celtics fan...lol!!! Keep up with your ever expanding journey of music.
I don't know if he still does, but Danny used to set up his drum set exactly to the constellation of Orion. Probably the greatest drummer of his generation always a treat to listen to them live.
Totally worth noting that Danny Carey is the oldest member of Tool at 58yrs old. This man is truly an all-time great 🔥
I did not know that. I didn’t think I could think more highly of him, but that makes me for some reason 🤷🏼♀️. Unparalleled talent and passion
Hell, Louis Bellson and Joe Morello in their 80s could play circles around .most drummers in their 20s. I hope ol' Danny sticks around long enough to do the same.

That's what I keep saying it's like there's four people playing drums
I'm always curious if non-drummers (or non-musicians) realize how hard what he's doing is (because of the odd time signatures).
Danny "Human Octopus" Carey
best drummer alive now that the great Neil Peart has passed away. these 2 guys were hands down the best of their eras.
Jimmy Chamberlain is still alive .....
@@BlueHopi144 he can’t hold Danny’s jock strap

Best drummer in the world.
Watching Tool live is like watching Rembrandt, DaVinci, VanGogh and Monet create a paintings next to each other at the same time
It's amazing that they can recreate that sound live..what a masterpiece
I genuinely prefer this version to the album version
Always wears a custom jersey of the city he’s in. Saw him in Raptors jersey in Toronto back in November
If the promoters or fans in the city he’s in provides him with one he wears it. Some venues give him personalized ones some don’t give him one at all.
Mike Portnoy did that alot too
Someone who was at this show commented on another reaction said that after the intermission, he came out in a Lakers uniform to troll the Celtics fans. LOL
fubar1217 that’s awesome. I’d love to see him go out in a Raptors jersey in Oakland 😬 Little late now
Repped a Pacers jersey in Indy. Pretty dope
I keep forgetting this video is an advertisement for VIC FIRTH sticks, best commercial ever!
12 minutes watching somebody being the best in the world at what they do.
And that 12 Minutes isn't log enough just like most Tool songs.

When percussion is literally science lol. Just an amazing thing to watch!
Danny’s left hand is better than 99% of most drummers. The GOAT. GREAT VIDEO.
Tool is the best band in my whole generation there's no other band like it ..
I’m at work (911) and it’s been a shitty shift. Going on break, I saw that you’d posted this and I clicked SO FAST!!!! Mood immediately improved. Thank you for posting - your timing couldn’t have been better!!

You’re right about that!!
Incredible drummer. Also a big dude at 6'5". Amazed he crams that frame behind that drum kit. Oak branches for drum sticks.
The precision, detail and sheer effort. By comparison, the vast majority of other professional drummers aren't even playing the same instrument.
"Boy Larry Bird wish he can play the drums!" XD
Sometimes Larry plays the 2nd half of the song left handed lol

Tool Time signature
I watch this performance at least once a day. Happy you got to see it as well!
ha me too i think ive watched every react vid and the original like everyday since it dropped so sick
not ashamed to admit I do this too. Must be closing in on 10,000 views by now :D
I love how Danny just "Cracks Violently" into those certain strokes, you know the ones i mean, yall see what im seeing! 🤘
Every time I watch this video, the 3-4 minutes of polyrhythms Danny pulls off in the middle of the song just blows me away. Two different hands, two different time signatures, he works the entire kit, and never misses a beat. Just epic

Great analogy👍
Where can you see that in the video? Want to check it out...

hes the man.. who can play 11 min songs and never mess up
The fact that this man is 58 and still playing at this level for hours a night is INSANE... what an absolute legend
His idol was The Professor himself. RIP Neil Peart.
That's the difference between him and other drummers who shall go unnamed: he's an artist pushing himself to improve and master his craft. It's not just a means to an end.
there all are in there 50s
💯
I always have to glue my face back on after watching this performance
When I listen to Tool so does everyone around me!
For real!
I don't always listen to T00L, but when I do, so does my whole street. 😁🤘
Best drummer alive! 🤘🏼❤️🔥
King of the poly rythms and drum fills. Real legend!
Danny Carey is the new Neil Peart (R.I.P.). His fills are phenomenal. Clean, precise, and fast.
I love that Danny is having just as much fun playing as we are watching. He loves what he does and it shows.
It's called passion
The pride of Nebraska... He repeats complex polyrhythm parts adding intensity or reducing it. He makes you want more..
This man is 58 yrs old!! Thanking the gods that I got to see Tool and Danny in Philly back in November. Thanks these videos are bringing me joy joy joy !!
Stefanie Brauer same. So happy I got to see them here in Detroit in November before all this madness. They are the supreme bees knees lol
I got to see them in February '20 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. First concert without any substances in over 30 years. Was well worth it, as it was the first time 7empest was ever played live.
It’s a joy to even watch a person enjoy tool. Even the vicarious pleasure is worth it.
i cant say it enough how many times ive seen this drum cam + reaction videos. good lord it never gets old
So glad you did the live version too. I bet I've watched this video a thousand times, and every reaction to it. Best drum pov ever made. I bet I know at least 20 people that can play the other instruments in this song, I don't know a single drummer that could do that live.
This is clearly DMT level music. insane drumming! and diesel physique. im so in awe of Daney Carey. Hes just beyond this realm.

Listened to few bands that make you feel them more than listen to them. They have that quality by the truckload.
Gotta give it to Tool's effects team for digitally removing Danny's extra 4 limbs. He is not of this Earth but damn are we happy he is here.
LMAO!! Sho you right! 🤣👍😎
I wish we could get you to one of Tool's live shows. Just to see it in person.
Yeah it would blow him away
Seeing him (and the rest of the members) live at Staples Center was one of the most memorable moments of my life! On top of everything else, their light show is unrivaled. 💗👍🏽🙌🏽🤘🏽
Danny is the most innovative drummer to come along....ever. he created a totally new style of playing that's really on a spiritual realm.
I feel privileged for being at this exact concert. They extended the solo in Jambi for about 5 minutes and it was still too short!
Dude is right up there with John Bonham. This was a treat.
Danny is better than John
@@pablosartor6715 way better

Man I catch myself smiling so many times watching your videos

the best drummer. anyone can play fast, double kick. whatever. but poly rhythms. this man is the best
Love this shit. Made me a Tool fan. Danny is amazing!!!
Danny Carey is an out of this world drummer!!!!!
It’s amazing how this man can make a band so much better. Without him Tool would be a good band. with him they are epic!!!
Any band with Maynard would be a next-level outstanding band.
This is the Drumming equivalent of Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption” live video. Legendary status CEMENTED!
Danny is my favorite drummer by far ....he is the man !!!!
One of the most amazing drum solos I've ever seen????

I love that you just LOVE music ! !
Danny has set a new standard for drummer's all over the world. INCREDIBLE.
Reviewing Descending by Tool. After numerous listens it becomes that albums stand out track
“Suns’ out, guns out!!!” Jamel, you crack me up!🤣😆😂
Danny Carey is the best drummer out there. Take care and be safe out there. Love from Finland.
I love how each musical component of Tool from drums to guitar to vocals has kind of a "percussive" feel to it.
I was listening to Jambi awhile back and the same idea hit me when I was paying attention to Adam Jones on guitar.
Please keep doing tool these videos make me happy

Danny Carey is arguably the greatest drummer of all-time.
I still vote neil peart rip
Thats still living... Neil Peart, still is the GOAT...
you can only make a genre specific argument, if you want to talk about chops then jazz drummers blow danny out of the water tbh

The way he just plays the high hat is just so brilliant. His percussion really seems to follow Justin. It's absolutely beautiful
BEHOLD a true Master in his craft! Hope you enjoyed Mr. Carey's clinic!
Ended up seeing them a few months back in Cleveland hell of a show. They never disappoint
Jamel aka Jamal.... you are the man. In a world full of pop you have an open mind to ALL music! Something I wish I had
That's what you call Zoning out.
