Today's reaction is slightly different than usually but we extremely enjoyed it. We hope you will like it as well. Let us know if you'd like more reactions like this.
Here we see The Octopus, in his natural habitat.
The Octopus, destroying brains, as usual..
The other name Maynard gave him during a concert was "reverend Daniel, the lion f****r, Carey"
Lol
classic
Well played my friend!
Danny's 59 years old and at THE TOP of his craft. A master.🤘
Jacked better than a 20 year old as well. Hats off to Danny the octopus!
Yes, but when that video was made he just a lad of 58
@@DavidTangman you are absolutely correct. I went to 5 shows of that tour. 1 VIP in Atlanta. Nevertheless, he's killing in his late 50's...top tier! 🤘
At the moment i think its the best working team on stage...there new album is great.👍🤟
This video has something like 11 million views so far. They must only be counting mine.
😂 👍 🤘🏻
11m views on the original video. On the reaction videos!?!?!? Who knows
Over and over and over
Danny's use of polyrhythms is one of the things that makes him very special as a drummer. Re-watch that video and you'll see him keeping 4 separate beats with each of the 4 limbs of his body at some points in the song.
Danny is an incredible drummer and one of my all time favourites and I love this video of him playing.....but I scratch my head a little why so many comments highlight how he keeps four separate rhythms going with each limb? EVERY drummer needs to be able to do this once you get past the very, very basics. This is a given not a superhuman power belonging to only the very best drummers. How Danny utilises this with his own creativity & supreme techniques is what stands out...
@@ollyhudson9931 it's 4 different TIME SIGNATURES. Google polyrhythm/polymeter, and you'll see why it's so difficult. You have to separate your brain into 4 sections and keep time independently. It's quite advanced. Most drummers don't ever play with polyrhythms.
Haha...yeah, four different rhythms....not TIME SIGNATURES (there’s only one time signature being kept at any one time and although a time signature can change within a piece all four limbs will keep within one time signature at any one time. Each limb may be taking on different and complicated rhythms they’ll always meet back on the final beat of that bar before starting on beat 1 again). That section in the middle for example; his left foot on the high-hat is keeping the base time signature (all other limbs/rhythms are keeping in time with that base time signature), his right foot accents various points within this current time signature on the bass drum whilst his hands take on a number of other different polyrhythms spread out on the higher tone drums on the outskirts of his kit slowly drawing into the lower toned drums and stronger accents as this section climaxes. I didn’t bother googling this.
Moving on...my point was that the very basics of drumming is to use all four limbs to create different rhythms so I was scratching my head why anyone ever highlights this? However, some drummers ie; Danny Carey, take this basic approach to drumming and raise it to a level not many other drummers on this planet ever reach which is the point worth highlighting and celebrating instead I feel. 😁✌️🎶🥁
@@ollyhudson9931 It is not that he is playing four different rhythms, but that he is doing it so flawlessly through changes in time signature. The more interesting video would be his performance of Schism, as the sheer number of changes in time signature complicates keeping the correct rhythms.
@@ollyhudson9931 Thank you, lol people not familiar with drumming think we have 4 brains one in each limb 😂
Most TOOL songs are much better after multiple listens. There is an appreciation that builds and layers. You might hear something completely new on your 40th listen. TOOL can be timeless.
One of the greatest bands ever- no debate 🔥
...this was me with 7empest, 100%
Spot on
Absolutely. You can pick up the awesome fills on the first few listens, but really understanding the structure, phrasing and progression takes a while.
Danny also has the ability to keep 4 different time signatures going at the same time. Left foot, right foot, left hand, right hand not working at the same time but keeping them all in time with the song, he's a magician and a true musician. His ability to utilise his kit instrumentally is remarkable,
Legend has it he can actually do 5 different signatures.🍆 👀
When I first heard the studio version I thought for sure he recorded different drum tracks for some of the parts. My jaw was on the foot when I first saw this video last year.
@@itsayswithoutgoing9571 I heard Adam Jones drop that line in a recent interview. And he didn’t seem to be joking.
Danny's drumsticks look like Hummingbirds Wings.
Yes...jumping flower to flower 🌼
Wow, what a great way to describe them! Thank you for that
They don't feel like them. Very heavy. They are the sticks I use to build strength and make my regular ones feel light and quick. They do have a unique scallop a bit up from the butt end that really let's you whip the around, but it's a lot of mass (comparatively) at extra speed, so yeah still a bit hummingbird wing-ish in application.
Danny started playing when he was little boy, and he is probably the best drummer alive today.
"The worst part about hearing Tool for the first time is that you can never hear Tool for the first time again."
Quite muscular, 6’4”. And nearly 60.
IMO he is hands down the GOAT.
Danny carey lookin cayuuute
That's why they call him the octopus, he is one of the GOATs
Doc. Oc
"How did he do this...?"
Danny: "YES!"
Not bad for a 59year old man.
The way he ever so gently lays the sticks down at the end. He is a literal gentleman
If you want to see just how humble and gracious this amazing person is, check out the videos where hes drumming for kids covering tools songs. All with a huge goofy smile on his face.
When you behold a master of their craft, it is always an eye opening experience. Amazing thing too when this was recorded he was 58 years old. Still performs this flawlessly live at 62 today.
Watching your eyes trying to follow his hands as he plays that middle section of the song says it all..... he's one of the drummers at the top of their craft.
The glow on your face and the stars in your eyes. Your partner is lucky and so are you. Keep it up guys
What makes Danny's performance even better is knowing that he's 60 years old!
No words needed. Your face said it all! That was great to see and you can tell how genuine it was. Great job. He must run a marathon in his concerts haha.
I would be interested in what the number would be if he put a Fitbit on each limb for the duration of a concert.
That was the reaction I expected, mind=blown lol
Until I saw this drumcam ..... I was blind to a whole new level of genius. I knew he was good, but you see every beat, it adds new depth and appreciation. beautiful really.
Watching Danny play , leaves many speechless;)
Two names for the coolest Tool drum covers on RUclips - John Kew and Brooke C.
@John thanks man! I am already subscribed to her channel. I’m just a sucker for blonde girls 😉
@John I'm a huge fan of Meytal too , the 46 & 2 covers she did with a smile on her face , in the midst of all that complex drumming
Its amazing to see it preformed and still be in disbelief of the skill preformed...
Your eyes full of wonder, confusion, amazement, and then ultimate appreciation make this my favorite reaction video. Well done 👍
FYI Danny's kit for the Lateralus LP was made from melted down cymbals.
Paiste and Jeff Ocheltree (noted drumtech for Billy Cobham, John Bonham, Lenny White, etc) teamed up in the late 90s to develop an entire drumset made out of recycle cymbals. The final product was a melted down Paiste's Signature bronze custom cast cymbals. Danny Carey used the kit during the Lateralus 2002 tour and during some drum clinics through the years.
Check out this you tube video of Danny's kit from 2019 NAMM show. ruclips.net/video/VVclGHl5RwI/видео.html
this is like the iron throne being made from the melted swords of defeated kings..
As a drummer, let me share some insights:
1. How long does it take to learn the drums? Learning the fundamental techniques can take months to several years depending on the student's natural giftedness, but mastering it is never completed. Even Danny Carey would tell you that.
2. How does a drummer know when to hit a certain drum or cymbal? It is innate. When your fundamentals are sound and you are capable of keeping the tempo that the song is written to, you don't have to think about every stick stroke. All you have to do is have one of your elements follow the basic time signature. For example, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4; while all your other elements are free to express themselves artistically while falling within that tempo.
3. Let's talk about the kit. You don't need a lot of drums and cymbals to put on an impressive performance, but it gives you more options. Tool's music is highly technical and varied in the different sounds they employ, hence Danny's large selection of drums. He has a mix of traditional acoustic drums, and some electronic pads which can produce many different sounds depending on what samples are preset. Notice how Danny was setting it up on his computer before the song started.
The cymbals can be broken down into several categories. The hihat is two cymbals sandwiched together that can make a multitude of different sounds. Closing it with the foot pedal eliminates resonance, opening it completely gives full resonance, and modulating it somewhere in between creates varied sizzling sounds. Likewise, the ride cymbal is the largest and thickest of the cymbals, and it also can make different sounds depending on where you strike it. It makes a higher pitch "ting" sound, and it resonates less toward the middle of the cymbal. Some rides cymbals have a very thick center, and these are called bell rides. The inner portions of bell rides are so thick that it eliminates almost all resonance, and striking the inner and outer portions of a bell ride can create very interesting grooves. What's most important to know about the hihat and ride cymbals is that they are a key component to what is called the drummer's "pocket." The pocket consist of the snare drum, the bass drum (which is the large drum in the middle that is struck with a foot pedal), and either the hihat or ride cymbal. It is with these three elements that the drummer constructs the main percussion groove of the song. Whenever you hear somebody say that a drummer is "good in the pocket," it means that they have very catchy and creative grooves.
The other cymbals are the splash, crash, and china. These cymbals are generally struck the most during fills when the song is transferring from one section to the next, chorus to verse, verse to chorus, etc. A splash is merely a smaller version of a crash, and most drummers use the technique of hitting the bass drum at the same time they strike a splash or crash cymbal to give it a more full and rich sound. The china has a very different shape and sound. It's round like all the other cymbals, but it has a "V" shaped fold between the inner and outer portion. It's sound is very abrasive and sharp, with little resonance, and it is often used together with the snare drum instead of the bass drum in odd time signatures. It is far more common in heavy metal and rock music.
I could go on and on, but this will give you a good basic understanding of drums. If you would be interested in doing another drum cam reaction, let me suggest the song "Clockworks" by a band called Meshuggah. Their drummer, Thomas Haake, is on par with Danny Carey, and is actually a personal friend of his. It's a masterful performance, and I'm sure you'd love it.
Thank you so much for this explanation, I found it really helpful :) She
These are the reactions I’ve always wanted to see for this video! It seems that it’s always drummers reacting to this.
This is the best video to see Danny's technique so far. We are not mentally prepared to see how he makes his magic, so its best not to witness so much greatness in one shot. This is why his nickname is "The Octopus".
The fact that Danny Carey can play 4 different timesignature at a time is great, but what impresses me most that it is musically so fantastically orchestrated, how every part fits and adds to the whole to create something that is more than the sum of its parts, that's true artistry as without that it would just be a clever acrobatic circus act and obviously it is so much more than that. I don't give a shit whether he is the best or not, now or ever, prizes are for schoolboys, he's just an amazing artist and this video I can and do watch multiple times a day and it's still as exciting as watching it the first time.
she has officially had her first Toolgasm..something we all experience
this performance/song combination literally puts me into a time warp every time i watch it...can't imagine how many hours ive spent watching different reactions to this performance! haha
Yup... me too!
Never gets old.
Still can’t believe I was there.
This closed the first set and Danny, a legit old school hardcore Magic’s Showtime Lakers fan, came out for 2nd set in a LA Lakers uniform just for the pure comedy of getting loudly booed after doing this. He was dying laughing at the boos walking back to his drums cuz I had a great view of the stage.
He's was 58-years-old when this was filmed, and he's still killing it. Definitely a GOAT on the Mt. Rushmore of Rock Drummers. He says Tool still has plenty of material, so we should only expect more.
This is my first trip to you all channel. Br advised this is some master level drumming! Danny Carey is at a level most can only dream of! Observe his hand speed as this tune progresses. Many cannot believe a human being can do this. I contend that Mr. Carey is a complete drum line by himself!! This first section is merely a warm up for what is about to happen. ENJOY...............
Danny Carey has been learning drums for about half a century, been learning on a drum kit since he was 12, and takes the effort to continue learning new skills and new percussion instruments to this day, and making the effort to incorporate those new skills into the music as he learns them, he also helped to develop those electronic drums that he was playing on this video, they are called Mandala drums, which when you look into the capabilities of the Mandala drums, they are amazing
Just watching the high hat when he is playing all the electronic drums. It hits perfectly every time even as the tempo changes is just nuts. He is as good as it gets.
Great reaction to a master at work.
"How could he know what to do at what time?" Well... he wrote the drum portion :) And he's a Jedi Master at drums.
This drummer is giving me chills🤟 amazing
Danny accents Maynards lyrics in this live version more then the record. They record Danny first and Maynard last. This shows how Danny can adapt his own work for whole of the group. TOOL live is remarkable. Exciting to watch no but flawless performances yes.
My personal fave live performance- Tool Lateralus live 2014, you both will love that for sure
i love seeing someones mind being blown by watching this particular video... it is so joyful to see the master of a craft get recognized like this :) :) :) trying to bend your brain around what danny carey does always makes people gush
Culling voices will blow you away!! Love your reactions, and you are beautiful. Thank you
We had The Professor, Neil Peart of Rush who passed away in January 2020. Now we have the Octopus, Danny Carey. Each generation has their greatest drummers from Buddy Rich to Led Zeppelin's John "Bonzo" Bonham to Professor Neil Peart of Rush to current, Danny "Octopus" Carey of Tool.
The drummer is 62 and still plays drums better than any octopus in the ocean, itellyoowhut man. I hope he live to 103
Unfortunately there aren’t too many Danny Carey drum cam videos. However, there is a drummer named John Kew, he does tool covers as well as anyone. I would recommend watching John Kew’s cover of The Grudge and Rosetta Stoned. It’s pretty amazing.
word...
Found a new channel to binge
The 4 piece drum set you showed consists of a kick bass drum, snare drum and two tom drums. A 5 piece set adds an additional tom and typically you will have multiple cymbals including a high hat that's played with your foot and a crash cymbal played with the stick.
Hey I really enjoyed this reaction , you guys can check out "Tool Invincible - Johnkew Drum Cover" , he is an incredible drummer and has created high quality drum cover videos of Tool in his channel.
John Kew is amazing and the best in the game for recreating the song
Woo! I’m in that audience, probably in that shot of the crowd (4th row). 🤘
Soooo fortunate you are!(said in my best Yoda voice)
Initum Danny has a side project. The bands name is VOLTO.
Volto is amazing and highly underrated.
The best part is that even Danny Carey began on a starter kit. Danny is an inspiration for drummers of all levels, because he is at the top of the game. One of the legendary drummers for certain. It takes a lot of time, passion, and talent to get to Danny's level. His passion and talent can be felt, and that carries over into new generations of drummers that come after... and thats makes me hopeful for the future of music.
Loved your reaction. Probably my favorite of yours so far. This song is next level...and you get it : )
Keep going !
Thank you :)
I like how you followed every strike Danny´s was doing on the drums and the total amazement over his craftsmanship.
Always so good!
Thank you both
You are officially the leader (Queen) of TOOL ARMY, good lord that was as REAL & GOOD as it gets
The official drum “ BAR “ has now been set. TOOL. 🤙🤘
This is an awesome reaction! Danny Carey is for sure in the top 3 best in the world at his craft.
You gotta remember this song is over 11 minutes like a lot of tools songs compared to other bands who play for 3 to
5 minutes top
It's why also Danny stands out among the rest not to mention he plays with all four limbs at different time signatures for this long
This man is an alien )
danny is within the top 10 drummers around
I'm not a drummer, but I think I know the pieces of the drum kit. Bass drum, 1 floor tom tom, 2 tom toms mounted on the kit, 1 snare drum, 2 cymbals, 1 hi-hat cymbal setup, usually right next to the snare drum. Please continue your Tool journey. Love watching your reactions to awesome music.
Your reaction is my favorite !! I am so happy that you enjoyed it as much as you did! I was at that live show and we were ALL spellbound!
I’m 51 years old & have seen so many great shows.... I missed my shot to see them decades ago in Grand Rapids, MI....sigh....regret.
Gotta give you a thumbs up, nice to see ya go over and through the details. Great reaction as well.
Mind blown! Sadly there is no comparable video to this one
Fantastic reaction video.... Bravo!
I love the question: "How could he do it in exactly the right time?" Answer: He's one of the best drummers to ever walk the earth. 'Exactly the right time' IS his specialty. I hope I don't sound like I'm dissing on you. Your question struck me funny, but you noticed quite a lot considering this is just your second? listen to this song. I still notice things in Tool songs I haven't noticed before, and I've been listening to them since the '90s.
I played drums for a few years. They are super fun, as basic drumming is just variations of 4 counts with fills. Lots of pop songs can be played with minimal knowledge and practice. Highly recommended. But .... being good & interesting as a drummer takes an immense amount of work and talent. Tool drumming is VERY complex, Danny is the GOAT, light years beyond just about everyone that tries to hit things with sticks ;)
Creative force comes from your soul,spirit,spirit.
Pneuma. The vital spirit,soul or creative force of a person.
"How is he doing this?" Yes, that's what the rest of us would like to know also.
I showed up 2 years late.
You look just as astonished as I did the first time I watched this.
Good stuff.
your expression was priceless. you looked like you were watching magic happen in real time. Eyes full of wonder indeed.
The jaw-drop never gets old-lol. Danney Carey is a Drum God, and a polyrhythmic one at that. Especially considering he is 58 yrs. old at the time of this video. What more can you say?
I just realized why the man is always outside the camera.... so that he can do his own youtube reactions! I'M IN!!!
Please check out Rush. Neal Peart was one of Danny Carey's inspirations. His drumming and drum kit is insane. One other benefit of drumming is a great release of stress and irritation. I do have to say In the world of musicians The real greats are relativity few. It comes down to natural talent and very hard work.
I feel you about your awe towards Danny. There is a lot of technical music which doesn’t manage cut captivate me. And then there is TOOL. What irony is it, that a band with a name like that is actually a tool to trigger me. They did the magic to connect technical finesse and musical enjoyment to something so captivating… And, being a fan of electric guitar as an instrument, I cannot help but realize it is carried by the drums on the songs I like from TOOL. This is truly impressive!
I loved your reaction. Seeing your face and eyes react to what Danny is doing is probably how we all looked the first time (but couldn’t see of course).
I will not go into detail about his mad skills or explain a drum set as many have already done that here and I agree with them. What I do want to point out is that his ability to play without looking comes from his drumming having become second nature. Like all things we do every day without looking, like opening a door, driving a car or bike, getting something from a cupboard, etc. If you are a proficient pianist you do not need to look for the key to play, you know where it is (from years of practice, but still). It’s the same with any other instrument. Danny does not need to remember where the individual drum is he just remembers the music and knows which part of his kit makes that sound.
Another thing about what he plays. He wrote it. This music came from within him, it’s his internal natural rhythm. That makes it easier for him to play and repeat. It makes it harder for others to play though. Not just because of the high skill level, but also because the music does not come from within them and might not be the same as their internal rhythm.
Anyway, that is my reaction to your reaction. 😁 Keep it up and I love your intelligent and in-depth analysis’ of these songs!
And three lifetimes to get as good as Danny Carey, possibly four. Practice makes perfect, but perfection is limited to 99%, no amount of practice grants that last 1%, that is a gift, a born attribute, which delineates the true artist from the greater mass of humanity.
Anyone that loves music should see this.
Loving the Tool reactions!! We look forward to them every Saturday! 🍻
And this guy is 58 yrs old..ponder that a while cheers from Kansas city
She straight fangirled. Nice
The Octopus. One of the best in the world. Danny is the Man and i'm the man as well!
Best reaction. The look of pure amazement is priceless
Danny played directly in front of me once at a jazz club, and he was maybe 5 feet away. Basically right in front of me. He hits those cymbals so hard you feel air come off of them. Have been lucky enough to meet him several times. An amazing drummer and a very humble guy.
The "plates" are cymbals, the hi-hat is the little double cymbal at the front, that white thing is a snare, the one with the metal surround is a roto-tom, the sideways big drums are bass kick drums, and the small ones are toms. The things with symbols on are called Mandala digital pads, onto which he can preset up to 300 sounds on each pad
I get chills every time I watch this video!
My favourite part is the start of the instrumental bridge..... Danny starts the rimshots but isn't pleased with the resonance, so he flips the stick around and continues.....all whilst continuing with 3 different rhythms.
Anyone who plays a kit gets that, and probably shakes their head, like me.
Danny Carey is a slayer......⚔
As far as I understand it, one of the reasons Danny is so good at what he does is because he has quite a bit of jazz influence. He also drums for a jazz fusion band, Volto!.
Love your facial reactions to this song. It kind of draws you in.
This video confirms that Tool are undeniably the best live band in the world. They elevate all their songs and enhance studio versions. I have seen them 12 times dating back to 1993. They keep getting better. I saw them here in Australia last February right before COVID. Best one yet.
Your reaction is was its all about and what music is supposed to do, its supposed to move you and make you feel happy. In the 10-11 months this has been out i have watched it 500 times easily, i have been playing drums for over 30 years and no way i could pull this off what he does, that is just pure gift from the gods right there.
@Initum Absolute perfection of your facial expressions
Cymbals are the "plates"
The lower drums are called Bass drums or "kick drum"
And I thought patting my head and rubbing my tummy at the same time was hard :O
Such an incredible vid! Danny uses a couple snare drums, a bazillion "toms" both acoustic and electric, and then the double-bass drum (big ones). Hi-hats are the cymbals he keeps rhythm with in front, controls the open/close of that with his left foot and then the various crash/splash/ride/china cymbals all around the perimeter. Truly an awe-inspiring kit.
Worthy of Master Class🙏🍄🤘
TOOL is a band everyone who's interested in music has to see live. It really is an experience you won't forget. Absolutely amazing live. And the there's Danny Carey. He's considered one of the great drummers alive and he deserves it. He cares so much about the sounds he uses, his technique, the parts he plays and how he plays it, sometimes just little details other drummers don't really think about. He is such a huge inspiration, hearing him with Tool for the first time 20 years ago was one of the reasons I started to play drums. A true master!
And..... Introducing, Danny Carey. Better known as "The Octopus". Phenomenal!
He's on the mount rushmore of drummers. We can argue about the other 3 but there's no argument he's up there.
Priceless emotions. Priceless reaction. Shout out from Russia)
Drummer here, nice to see your reaction. The drums are indeed a great instrument. Not sure if you only want to see Tool drum videos, but you should check some of the drum videos that exist on youtube, you'd lose your mind to some of the stuff that's out there. Danny Carey is a great drummer, one of the hallmarks of rock music out there, but there are some people out there doing things with this instrument that defy belief to be honest. I recommend you watch an Animals as Leaders drum video for example, or cats in the gospel chops movement. My god the things they play... Chris Coleman, Ronald Bruner Jr., Anika Nilles, Matt Garstka (from animals as leaders), Larnell Lewis (listen to Snarky Puppy you'll love it), Spud and the whole Zildijian Live and VFJams... it's a world out there. Explore it! Hehe best regards and keep them videos coming.
Thank you for this :)
