If you're interested in watching more, talented drummers, I'd recommend reacting to one of Baard Kolstad's drum cam videos. Dynamics is his specialty :)
This was my wife’s first Tool show. She’s not a huge fan so I told her to pay attention to Danny. She was blown away and came away with a new appreciation for what 4 guys with instruments can do on a stage.
I agree...Maynard has his vocals recorded lower so it won't over power the music. He let's them do there thing and just adds to it. He is def an instrument
There's passive listening and active listening. I've played music all throughout my house for years and my gf always tells me to change it when "hard rock" 🙄 comes on my playlist. Took her to a tool show and in the middle of EVERY song she'd turn to me and shout "OMG THESE GUYS ARE SO GOOD!" With an unspoken tone of, "like why haven't you plaid them at home before". 🤦🏼♂️
They are all incredibly special in their own way but Danny, to me, is absolutely mind blowing. I do not understand how a human mind can do what he's doing.
well. years and years of training. we all have the potential for great things but it takes dedication and time. on a pro level these people spend 8 hours+ a day on practice. do this for a few decades and you get someone like danny who at age 60 seems like at the peak of his profession. he's as great as ever and no sign of loosing his abilities. i mean look at him. he's friggin buff. and the polyrhythmic stuff... it just shows we he rightfully earned the nickname octopus.
Have watched every, yes, every reaction to this song from curious folk to "drum teacher". This was by FAR the best analysis. You noticed all the nuances and appreciated them, as appropriate. Sub'd
@@DrumRollTonyReacts im surprised u're not noticed the hesitation and mistake on his left hand on 13:15 so far only 1 react guy i saw (among a lot) noticed this mistake
I'm a guitarist but I sat here with my jaw hanging open in amazement, Jeez, Danny Carey is a drum stick slinging badass. Great reaction Sir. Subscribed
You gave us by far the best breakdown of this video, and of Danny in general. I can't recall a single video of anyone picking up on half of what you did. Thank you for such an enjoyable analysis! 🤘
I appreciate people like Danny. They spend the time, energy and effort to show you what people are capable of. One of my favortie pastimes is just watching masters of something perform their craft.
And a little known fact, that Danny Carey as well as being an incredible drummer, is also a professional basketball for the Boston Celtics. Incredible how he finds the time.
What a fantastic review. I love listening to people who knows what their talking about review this. You did such a great job with your knowledge and you can identify a true percussion genius like Danny
Great video and reaction. It’s like a better written heavier doors song with good musicians 😂 Danny is a monster, mesmerizing was a perfect description.
I loved your reaction man, I'm not a drummer but it's always so great to see someone knowledgeable of the art watching a marvel in motion as Danny is :)
Danny is my favorite drummer of all time. He makes drumming look effortless which I know is not! I’m not even remotely coordinated enough for drumming. But I love watching!
Favourite Tool song would have to be Lateralus. Just an all round performance from every member of the band. A masterclass in build up and payoff for a prog rock song. Yeah Maynard may think it's trivial, and people may meme on the composition. But I will always appreciate it for how thoughtful everything was put together in this track - and the whole album really.
Mostly agreed, only difference is my fav Tool song is Intention hands down. It just has such a vibe to it, and the way it transitions into Right in Two, another fav of mine, just perfect IMO
@@PerishingPurplePulsar I won't claim to have a favorite, it depends how I feel. However I do feel that Rosetta Stoned is often overlooked in their repertoire.
@@ngcastronerd4791 Oh I can by no means actually play the bassline, I'm not that good, but I like to put on songs (Esp Tool) and just play by ear, impovise and have fun, it's a great time
People actually believe this is not real. I saw tool in concert in Augusta Georgia. And trust me when I say they sound exactly like this live. The concrete was vibrating.
Mr. Drumroll THAT! was a masterclass reaction 🤔🥰👍. Your expert explanations and technical jibber jabber was excellent 🙏 . You got my subscription brother, much Aloha from Hawai’i 🇼🇸🎆🎊🥳.
Someone asked me once, how do you listen to tool, there is so much to take in at once, my reply was, listen to each song 4 times and focus on one instrument at a time, then it all comes together
0:30 - Those are Mandala drums, and here's a snippet of their properties: "Because a Mandala surface is divided into 128 position rings and can detect 127 strike velocities (greater than 0) it can produce up to 16,256 (128 x 127) individual triggers." They are crazy. :D
That took while 😂😂 This is really inevitable for anyone interested in Drum Play. Danny is a Monster ! Confessing Tool Fan ... might be obvious watching my Tattoos 😂
The time signature would flow in a grouping sense more focused on the 8th note instead of the qtr. Most likely split splitting up what is divisional by 2 and then odd parts separately. Meaning, we wouldn't count to 33. We feel the patterns 3,3,2 for 7/8 3,2 for 5/8 etc and so on following how the grouping goes. Amazing song and such a cool use of structure
@@DrumRollTonyReacts I know most of this, I’m a hack musician. It still comes out to 33. In my limited musical training I’ve learned you can count however you like. I love your reactions and your musical knowledge!
My favorite song is probably this one (Pneuma). They were supposed to come to Vancouver in 2020, but they had to cancel. I've still never gotten to see them live. Although the other concert I was supposed to see in 2020 was Roger Waters, and that got rescheduled for last year. So, I at least got to see one of my heroes!
I could be wrong, but my read on the setup for his ride cymbal is maintaining stick angle. If you notice the cymbals he wants to hit the edge of are mounted standard, but cymbals he wants to hit the face of are angled. In my opinion this gives him the option to get really quick transitions from hitting the face of the ride to the edges of the crashes around it because he doesn't have to move his wrist at all.
As a non-drummer this has always stood out to me as a masterclass in drumming - the timing, technique, and power, and most importantly the tastefulness of it all. I'm usually unimpressed by fancy tippy-tappy drumming, favouring instead power and conviction, but this is a huge exception. I'm also not a fan of Tool, but this whole song, including the lyrics, is amazing.
Now that we are losing so many of the old school great drummers especially progressive ones like Peart and Moon, I see myself on the lookout for the next guys up. There are a lot of great drummers out there on RUclips and on tour, but that next level guy is still rare. Two at the top of my list are Danny (Tool, obviously), and Vlad with Jinjer. They've continued to show me more and more how precise they are and how effortless they handle odd meters. Danny is like an octopus with his limb independence, and Vlad has so much precision, speed, and groove. That also both have interesting setups that could teach us all a little about ergonomics.
You should take a look at the soundtrack for an anime named "Katanagatari", the whole soundtrack is worth a listen but the theme "Bahasa Palsu" especially seems like something you'd enjoy reacting to. It's composed by Iwasaki Tawu, same person who composed the soundtracks for Gurren Lagann, Soul Eater and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency. It also features vocals/rap by Lotus Juice which also featured predominantly in the Persona 3 soundtrack and in Battle Tendency's soundtrack as well. Some other tracks that stand out are Bahasu Palsu Jazz 'n Mix(Remix of the first theme), 月刀歌 (Gettouka) and Hanetsuki Imouto
Danny is not a drummer. He is a musician in his own right and an entire rhythm section on his own. I think he has a metronome in his chest rather than a heart….
i really like this kind of intro dude. thank you so much for just getting to it and being a good watch still instead if fluffing the first minute or so with nonsense! earned a subscriber here man
That is funny because this is the first video that I took my intro out, haha. There is a lot we want to tell the audience but about 50% skip it anyhow. It might feel like nonsense to you but as a RUclipsr I promise its not. Hard ground to move back and forth on, but glad you liked the video
Haven't heard another reaction fully appreciate what Danny is doing at 6:38 until now. It is utterly insane. There is a similar moment in an early section in Descending that blows my mind. Some of the finest rhythmic complexity Danny has ever done and so many Tool fans trash on this album smh Also, Chancellor and Jones may not be the most impressive, but the grooves, riffs, feelings and tones they bring are all incredible to me.
For anyone interested, grab your best headphones and pay attention to Descending at 4:07 and what Danny is doing on one of his pads under that groove in 7/8.
I still think that you should react to Leprous, especially to "The Sky is Red" drum playthrough or the live version of "Slave". You will love Baard Kolstad, i garantee you that
I love watching people out of their depth trying to explain this video.....the timing always leaves them with a brain spasm and explaining things like lighting instead....

@@osimo600rr lol that's funny
Danny Carey is the only drummer that makes you want to play drums, but whenever you see him play drums it makes you want to quit.
👀 I have a long list of those 😅
They are all incredibly special in their own way but Danny, to me, is absolutely mind blowing. I do not understand how a human mind can do what he's doing.
There are a few that can play it, but he wrote it. Amazing the way his mind puts drums to music.
well. years and years of training. we all have the potential for great things but it takes dedication and time. on a pro level these people spend 8 hours+ a day on practice. do this for a few decades and you get someone like danny who at age 60 seems like at the peak of his profession. he's as great as ever and no sign of loosing his abilities. i mean look at him. he's friggin buff. and the polyrhythmic stuff... it just shows we he rightfully earned the nickname octopus.
He is a freaking Octopus.
Agreed!! He's in a league of his own!! Absolute best!!
I remember that I few months I searched "DrumRollTony Pneuma" just to be disappointed for not finding it.
This does put a smile on my face.
Ha ha took me forever

The Daily Doug is my fav reaction to this song, and many others, his enthusiasm and insight is unmatched.
Same
"and we've returned" that's the perfect explanation for this song! It's like going on a journey.
probably the best reaction i've seen to this drum cam. finally, someone who can add to my appreciation of danny's drumming.
Danny Carey = The G.O.A.T.
I’ve seen this like a hundred times but it still astonishes me. Insane.
Same!! 🖤🤘
Watch this video probably twice a year but I have it on loop for about 2 hours

I'm a simple man, see the Danny Carey Drum cam of "Pneuma" being reacted to, I watch, I like, I leave comment, and I subscribe.
Probably the best take I’ve seen of Danny’s playing on this track! Thanks Tony! Loved it.
And a little known fact, that Danny Carey as well as being an incredible drummer, is also a professional basketball for the Boston Celtics. Incredible how he finds the time.
it's more impressive that he can trn into a basketball
@@18hot30 professional basketball...not some ridiculous rec league shit....
I bet he dribbles in 11/8 timing
All while being an octopus.* Amazing talent
*there are no rules against an octopus playing basketball.
Danny carey doesnt find the time, the time finds danny carey
Excited for this one for sure. Been a fan for 30 years.
My favorite Tool song is Parabol+Parabola. When Maynard screams "ALIVE" in the song, the volume is at max. XD
I'm not a drummer, but totally feel you on the melodic groove of this performance; so much texture
What a fantastic review. I love listening to people who knows what their talking about review this. You did such a great job with your knowledge and you can identify a true percussion genius like Danny
So much respect to you. The only honest reaction I’ve seen
You’re the first drummer reactor that’s I’ve seen notice the FLAWLESS transition from doubles to singles in the intro! 😍
Danny brings the thunder and I just love it !
One of the best songs ever lyrically and musically 💯🔥🤘. The whole world should be listening to Tool
This is in my top 5 RUclips videos. I'm glad you reacted to this.
Great video and reaction. It’s like a better written heavier doors song with good musicians 😂
Danny is a monster, mesmerizing was a perfect description.
The first honest professional reaction!!!
..best pneuma reaction ever, and i’ve watched a dozen. been waiting for the technical analysis. nice work, man..
Proof aliens live among us. The man is not human.
Fave Tool song is Reflection, even without it’s related songs Disposition and Triad, an absolute masterpiece on every level.
Everything I watch that video I'm amazed at how well mic'd and mixed it is for a live show. It sounds amazing!
I love reactions from people who actually speak music react to tool.
Good stuff.
Let us not forget Danny was 59 years old at the time of this filming!
Danny... The Beast... The GOAT!
So glad you got to this one! 💪
I loved your reaction man, I'm not a drummer but it's always so great to see someone knowledgeable of the art watching a marvel in motion as Danny is :)
What a masterpiece!
Danny Carey is a beast! Nice vid. Favorite Tool song has to be Vicarious for me.
Best reaction I have seen to the video and I have seen tons
Danny is my favorite drummer of all time. He makes drumming look effortless which I know is not! I’m not even remotely coordinated enough for drumming. But I love watching!
AND HE'S 61 YEARS OLD!!!!!!! What a BEAST!
His accenting Manyards vocals with the hiHat , snare and later in the song with his cymbals!! iSo sick! What a drummer!
The music is written first. Maynard is accenting Danny's high hat. Your welcome.:)
Far and away the best reaction by someone who knows drums.
Favourite Tool song would have to be Lateralus. Just an all round performance from every member of the band. A masterclass in build up and payoff for a prog rock song. Yeah Maynard may think it's trivial, and people may meme on the composition. But I will always appreciate it for how thoughtful everything was put together in this track - and the whole album really.

Pure magic

46 and 2 was my favorite
All the way to your bone marrow.
I can just imagine the kind of insurance policy on this man's arm's or his hands alone. Absolutely crazy.... 😳
Lol I bet

Wow, thanks!
A classic video, awesome!
It looked like you looked away when Danny got that big goofy grin on his face. It's one of my favorite things about this videos.
Thank you 🙏 🙏
Simply, the best.
Someone asked me once, how do you listen to tool, there is so much to take in at once, my reply was, listen to each song 4 times and focus on one instrument at a time, then it all comes together
That's the way to do it
Danny is 58 years old at this point!! Wild
Danny Legend's number 33 is hanging in the rafters of The Garden as we speak.
0:30 - Those are Mandala drums, and here's a snippet of their properties: "Because a Mandala surface is divided into 128 position rings and can detect 127 strike velocities (greater than 0) it can produce up to 16,256 (128 x 127) individual triggers."
They are crazy. :D
That took while 😂😂 This is really inevitable for anyone interested in Drum Play. Danny is a Monster ! Confessing Tool Fan ... might be obvious watching my Tattoos 😂
I was at this show in Boston. I love that he’s wearing Bird’s 33 shirt, and I believe the time signature here is 33/4.
The time signature would flow in a grouping sense more focused on the 8th note instead of the qtr. Most likely split splitting up what is divisional by 2 and then odd parts separately. Meaning, we wouldn't count to 33. We feel the patterns 3,3,2 for 7/8 3,2 for 5/8 etc and so on following how the grouping goes. Amazing song and such a cool use of structure

Solo un genio puede tener esa cordinación
The crazy part is trying to convince people that he only has 2 arms
Danny is just sick😅😊
My favorite song is probably this one (Pneuma).

I enjoyed that!
Great analysis. Most reactions are just that: "wow! How does he do that?" You understand it and can talk about it.
Fucking perfection.
Masterclass!
True fact. Danny had to create a couple of extra dimensions to make the time signatures work.
Little known fact , Danny is actually a Octopus trapped in a mans body .
subbed.....Danny is legendary
'the band sounds good by the way' the fans will be stoked... nice work.
Oh hell yeah!
Gotta love the Mandela drum pads custom built by DC with Mandela
Danny actually accents Maynard’s Cadence during the verse. Kieth Moon used to play off the vocals at times too. It’s unique and difficult.
I could be wrong, but my read on the setup for his ride cymbal is maintaining stick angle. If you notice the cymbals he wants to hit the edge of are mounted standard, but cymbals he wants to hit the face of are angled. In my opinion this gives him the option to get really quick transitions from hitting the face of the ride to the edges of the crashes around it because he doesn't have to move his wrist at all.
he's got the Neil Peart ride pattern working
As a drummer of sorts, I must say that incredible **pop** on that snare makes me cough in my shorts.
NICE REVIEW!
Felt like nice storytelling with drums.
As a non-drummer this has always stood out to me as a masterclass in drumming - the timing, technique, and power, and most importantly the tastefulness of it all. I'm usually unimpressed by fancy tippy-tappy drumming, favouring instead power and conviction, but this is a huge exception. I'm also not a fan of Tool, but this whole song, including the lyrics, is amazing.
"the rim is beefy!"
Danny Carey's snare drum is custom cast bronze and weighs about 40 lbs.
That's wild. Very cool
I'd like to see Thomas Lang covering this on Dannys original drumset, i'm sure he could do it worthy. That would be so cool to watch.
I've seen a lot of reactions and I'm surprised no one noticed that the cymbals were playing to the vocals
Now that we are losing so many of the old school great drummers especially progressive ones like Peart and Moon, I see myself on the lookout for the next guys up. There are a lot of great drummers out there on RUclips and on tour, but that next level guy is still rare.
