Danny Carey isn't a talented drummer. He's 5 talented drummers assembled like Voltron. Each one of his limbs is an independently functioning drummer. #Facts
many review channels are basically held hostage by the rabid tool fan base. but yea, anyone who appreciates musical complexity can appreciate tool at some level. so it's probably a mixture of those two things.
Hostage? Just cause people ask doesnt mean you obey. It's not like they couldn't get along without tool. They use tool as a tool to gain leverage on their channel.
While I love DC and was my inspiration for my own drumming....nowhere near best drummer, which is such an arbitrary thing to begin with. Good/Great/Insanely talented/Lucky to have a drummer like him? Yes. But if he saw this statement I'd bet even he would cringe at that type of comment considering the mistakes he made on this take.
I’ve seen em 2x, both times I left saying Danny is one of the greatest rock drummers alive but I also said to my friends there a studio band.......great visuals though
Pastor rob. If you read this, i actually met Danny. Hes such a great guy. Very level headed. When i shook his hands back stage i was speechless Haha no words were coming out of my mouth. And if anyone is thinking about going ri a tool concert, go. Hands down best concert. They sound amazing live. I can't wait to go to another one
I saw them in Jacksonville for the first night of the tour and I saw them again in Cleveland,Ohio. I had bought tickets to see them again 2 more times but the virus hit. They sound better live in my opinion. Can't wait for all this to be over with and we get back to normal.
About triggers. A trigger is when you put a sensor on a drum, usually the bass drum, and this sensor then triggers a sample when the drum is hit, like a different bass drum sound, that is played through the speakers. Sometimes it plays both the sample and the original sound for a cool mix, sometimes just the sample. It's often used in very fast metal when the bass drum-hits are fast but weak, just to get that steady hard hitting sound. Danny here is just using straight up some samplepads, the same thing that's on electronic drumkits. Good to have when you want to incorporate sounds that is hard to replicate with a drumkit.
They're not the same as an electronic kit. He has about 6 Mandala pads which are a standalone pad which provides far more flexibility than a normal electric kit pad. He also has a Korg WaveDrum which again is a very adaptable stand alone pad.
Pastor Rob.....What most people don't realize is he runs 5 or 6 different time signatures in the song...sometimes 2 and 3 of them concurrently....feet....right hand and left hand all different time signatures.....hugely talented drummer.....is definitely in my top 5 drummers....there's a reason why no one has tried covering this song yet...unlike other tools songs...this is an animal all of its own!...and as always enjoy your videos and insight
and once again Danny earns his nickname (The Octopus)... he is not human... AMAZING.. by far the best drummer i ever saw live.. 58 years old, arms like cannons... 6’7”... so much power.. hard to believe he is that precise, that fast with that much power... AMAZING
I’m an atheist. But, the fact that when the video finished you immediately started with god’s creation at work. It’s inspiring. Regardless of subject matter, you, without a moments hesitation, automatically think of god. Wish I had the same faith in something as you have, I really do. Keep up the good videos 🤟🏻
Hey brother - just want to encourage you. No one is born a Christian and heaps of Christians I know were atheists at one point. If you're interested, have a read or audible of 'The Reason for God' by a bloke named Tim Keller. He was a Pastor in New York for ages and wrote it for all his atheist friends. Might be worth checking out. Blessings bro
They'd been playing it live since the Australia leg of the tour. On toolproject you can find and at least listen to those shows where they played 7empest.
The closest thing I've had to a religious experience was a Tool show on 7 grams of psilocybin. They're an incredibly talented group of musicians. Add the visuals of the show to the music and you're off to a different dimension.
Despite the government and world appearing to be set to plunge us into the end of days to "recover" from current events, it's peace inducing to hear such a musical masterpiece before we go if that's the designed future. Thank you for another great share Pastor Rob n Gauge
on youtube are reallly some thinking, that ullrich would be better... ullrich was not half as good as danny in his prime time and that time is 20 years ago, but danny is with 58 as good as with 20... the octopus is a living legend..
From his seat forward...between his legs snare, above those 2 “toms” a 10 inch standard tom and a 12 inch roto tom..pad to the right is a ‘Korg wave drum’ and one of his signature tablas, below and the right of that is 2 floor toms...then runs 2 bass drums of slightly different sizes...to the left is about 4 signature tablas (his custom electric drum pad/trigger) plus a dozen cymbals and a gong and other trick stuff
The time signatures for the main riff (which varies slightly of course) is - a bar of 12/8 (felt as 2 bars of 6/8), a bar of 5/8, then a long bar of 16/8 (felt as 2 bars of 6/8 and a bar of 4/4). This is 100% accurate. You can count it, spot on: 1 2 3 4 5 6 || 1 2 3 4 5 6 || 1 2 3 4 5 || 1 2 3 4 5 6 || 1 2 3 4 5 6 || 1 2 3 4
The first part is alternating 14/8 and 19/8: 3-3-3-3-2, 3-3-3-3-2-3-2, so it's the same first 14 beats for each one, with that little 5/8 tag at the end of the second measure. ( quick google search! Love the channel dudes! )
I really don't get how this song confuses so many people lol... the song is in 7, it is easier to count than schism. From the bass to the vocals it is 7777 7777 5436 8 (or 5777 ie 5 4+3 (6+8)÷2) . So 8 bars of 7 and then a 5777 bridge. Really simple. There is no 14s and 19s and 33 beat phrases lol.
@@senorsavage8702 all you gotta do is tap the beat with your hand and listen to the phrases. Doesn't take any theory understanding or special talent. As long as you can count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and rewind where you are confused you can do it too. The guitar and drum were obviously written off the bass line that has a descending riff made of two phrases that are both counted at 7 and accented pretty clearly when the drums and the guitar introduce themselves. It repeats 4 times. The 5th time they want to transition into the verse so they raised the notes, put the accents in a different spot and cut 2 beats instead of copy pasting like a pop track. Traditionally in metal it is very common to cut or add a beat to create a transition, it makes it feel like the next movement wasn't just tacked on but rather built to. There is no "knowing" time signatures, you either can hear a beat or you have simply been mind controlled by all the radio songs. People without any training can easily listen to a new song and tell you what signature an instrument is in when the phrases repeat like these songs.
He makes it look so effortless. However his arms and calves speak otherwise lol. And I love when he smiled at the camera. He's just doing what he loves, has a passion for and how can that not be fun??
Danny Carey Wikipedia: "He has also stated that when he is playing to an odd time signature, he tries to drum to the "feel" of the song and establish general "inner pulse" for the given time signature instead of fully counting it out." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Carey Danny Carey is 6'5"
i'm pretty obsessed with this song and most of this album. what's another good one? they were around when i was younger, i think i had the lateralus album but what's another good one?
WATCHING THIS, PASTOR ROB AND GUAGE!! I LOVE YOU BOTH AND HAVE RECENTLY ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE THE WAY I PUSHED HIM AWAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RUclips CHANNEL AND THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS!!✝️❤💯
Does not matter what someone is doing, when you see someone so in tune with what they are doing like this it is a beauty to behold. It looks like "he is not there", he is just the notes/sounds he wants to make and his body just auto pilots to make it, stunning.
There's auto-pilot, where everything is pre-programmed, then there's muscle memory, which is from constant practice but has flexibility. Danny has the second - he has been doing this for so long, he can adapt instantly and yet still be the solid foundation which lifts up the rest of the band. As a singer and guitarist, I say this with absolute sincerity - the drummer is the core of the group, and the group lives and dies on the strength of the drummer.
the pad danny keeps hitting under his center right crash is called a "korg wave drum". danny has been using the same pad on his kit you see here since 1996.
These live videos of Tool can never manage to match or capture the power of the instruments. It’s such an amazing energy to watch these guys live. I’ve seen almost all the rock greats, but this group just can’t be beat when it comes to live performance quality
I saw them in Dallas in February of this year. Unbelievable! They are the most talented musically and lyrically band while providing a spiritually complex experience. Great video of Danny! Thanks for sharing!
The song is an exercise in polyrhythms based off of 4 over 3, the general thought is the intro and body is in 33/16 but it’s easier to think of as in recurring bars of 14/8,12/8,7/8. During the chorus there are various transitions to multiple time signatures but that might be the easiest way to count.
Enjoying these reactions Pastor Rob- I’m a huge Tool fan, despite not agreeing fully with their lyrics. That said, I think there is still some good content in them. Pneuma reminds me of neo-gnosticism-the idea that the physical world is evil, but the spirit world is good, and salvation is found by exiting the physical world. I actually believed this unknowingly as an evangelical until getting into NT Wright’s work. While Wright is controversial on many things, I think what he has to say about the physical world being ontologically good, yet compromised by sin, is a major doctrinal distinctive of Christianity that has been lost.
His Jersey says It. The main riff is in 33/8 and that little variation(~ 3:56) can be counted as 25/8, then it returns to 33/8. Before the B section of the song, the riff after the variation (starting at 5:11, right when he says "one word") actually goes as two bars of 7/4, "chopping off" the last 5 eigth notes from the original 33/8 to make room for the 4/4 that is felt during the break. Those time signatures can be counted in many ways though, as long as they add up. What matters is the feel, and we only write time signatures as guidance. For a riff that repeats many times, you tipically wouldn't find a constantly changing time signature of 14/8 and 19/8 in a music sheet, that's why I prefer saying It is 33/8 (also because the number happens to be in his shirt, making it a fun coincidence)
@@Mike_Webb78 It began a bit earlier. 12:35 - he smiled at someone about something and distracted himself, lost the rhythm and it took him a moment to get back on track.
@@krzyszwojciech i think he jumped the guitar and was giving him the good ole sorry about that smile. well recovered though. nice catch most would have missed it
To quote a guy who commented on a Rosetta Stoned performance, "Danny Carey is a project created by drum companies to be the ultimate drummer, the only reason he was programmed to make a mistake is to make you think he's human"
I don’t understand people like you who have the audacity to cherry pick a drummer of a super off measured, technical, artful, and unique band and then at the end smoothly say awesome performance nonetheless like you are such a musical genius to formulate that response from a one of the most unique and insanely talented drummers alive today, I’m no drummer. I’m no expert musician. But for crying out loud, so many people like you on RUclips need to check your musical egos right out the door
In my not so humble opinion, TooL is the greatest rock band ever. Porcupine Tree is very high up there in my book as well. Seeing others becoming fans always puts a smile on my face. Like Danny Carey, Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree. is another insanely impeccable drummer. If you have not already, I would definitely check out Porcupine Tree. Another band I like to refer to as “astute”. Very good group. The album Odd Soul by Mute Math crosses me as an album in which you may enjoy as well. Rock on \m/ \m/ 👍
pastor ROB, TOLD YOU that you wont be disappointed..it was nice to see your reaction and awe to hear the technicality of the studio recording being recreated in live..thats what makes TOOL such an amazing BAND IMO..
I was at this exact concert which was in Boston this year and it was the best musical experience I have ever had and the first time seeing them live! They sounded fantastic but the on thing you don't get from this video is how stunning the visuals were. Me and my girlfriend who went with me who doesnt care for Tool had are mouths dropped the whole song because of the combination of lights, video, and amazing music. Ever since that concert she became a fan. Thanks for doing the reaction
Time signatures in this song are awesome. Probably one of the most complex Tool songs in terms of time changes. Here is are measures as I hear them, Intro 4/4 (6+6+4) Section A (Bass Only) 7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 2 measures Note, Bass starts on the 1/4 before the start of the actual 7/4 measure. This throws of the timing if you don’t count it this way 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / +3 + 2 Section A (All Instruments) 7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 2 measures 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / +3 + 2 Then after 2 measures of bass only the Guitar and Drums enter. The cymbal choke is the point to start counting the measure. The guitar also plays a note 1/4 before the cymbal choke throwing off the down beat of the measure, same as the bass riff opening the song. Section B (Time Change) After 2 measures with the bass, guitar and drums the time signature of the first measure changes to 17/8 This adds an extra 3 x 8th notes into the measure making it 17/8 opposed to 14/8 or (7/4). This additional 3/8 note plays the highest note in the entire pattern. The second half of the measure is changed to 4/4 sub divided. This only lasts for one measure. 17/8 + 4/4 x 1 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / 3 + 3 + 2 Section A (All instruments) The original time signature is returned for 1 measure until Vocals enter 7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 1 measure 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / +3 + 2 Section A (All Instruments + Vocals ) Vocals join and the original measure is repeated 7 times. 7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 7 measures 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / +3 + 2 Section B (Time Change) 17/8 + 4/4 x 1 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / 3 + 3 + 2 Section C (Time Change) 7/4 + 6/4 x 1 measure 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 / Section D (Instrumental Big Riff) 4/4 Instrumental big riff is straight time measure, but still feels odd in the drum fills?? - WTF dudes!!. Section A (Bass Only) 7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 1 measure Section A (Drums and Guitar) Snare roll and guitar enter 7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 1 measure Section A (Vocals Enter) 7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 8 measures Section B Time change 17/8 + 4/4 x 1 measure Section C (Time Change) 7/4 + 6/4 x 1 measure Section D (Instrumental Big Riff) 4/4 x didn’t count the measures on this. Instrumental big riff is straight time measure This instrumental continues in 4/4 with Danny’s awesome pattern moving round the whole kit!! - Damn he’s a beast y’all!! Section E (Adam Chugging Riff) This returns to the original pattern which is 7/4 + 7/4 + 5/8 x measure Then bass and drums enter. This riff is disgustingly heavy!! Section A (Vocals Enter) This keeps the original pattern of 7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 2 measures Section B 17/8 + 4/4 x 1 7/4 x 1 Ends on Section D (Instrumental Big Riff) - Finished in 4/4. What a FUCKING MASTERPIECE LADS!!
I'm not a fan of religion but what you guys are doing is pretty amazing. I love that you say "It's a learning experience" rather than judge you learn and understand. I love your perspective and your kindness. Exactly how it should be!!
Elite performers at the top of their game only the best sound this good live thank you brothers god bless Danny’s a beast of a man killing them drumms notice how he holds his sticks 10 time best drummer in the world
I’ve never heard that patient was about his mother. I don’t see how it could be, but it is an amazing song and I love the lyrics. One of my favorites for sure.
@@Shadowise-46.2 How couldn't it be? If there were no rewards to reap, I certainly would have walked away by now. That lyric represents her struggle to keep faith and fight through her illness rather than just ending it. The whole song is told from her point of view.
@@Shadowise-46.2 the patient is track number 3 on Lateralus. I'm saying that so you can go back and listen to it again . Please name one other person on the planet that song could be about besides his mom?
You’re the only person to point that part out. I tried on a different reaction channel, but got shot down by everyone in the comments claiming I was jealous. I’m not jealous at all. I can’t be. I don’t put the time in anymore to even attempt anything DC writes. I was just trying to say that it gave me some relief that even the greats can miss a beat. I laugh every time I screw up, so seeing DC also smile when he tripped up is comforting.
@@GhostDrummer Lol, yeah. Danny admitted at some point that the new music are technically the more difficult ones to play, as they aren't totally used to it. He also stated that The Grudge is the most difficult to play endurance-wise. Y'know, the guy is already extremely talented. But when a guy so extremely talented as him also is as humble, to even talking about his difficulties playing some songs, he's even greater.
Several places Danny drums 3 or 4 different rhythms simultaneously. 8:43 for instance. I love how some of the more technical parts in Tools songs are not just the fast, heavy, hit you in your face parts. The drum cam is a great way to show this.
I am a huge Tool fan. Tool got me through the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Lateralus was an awesome album and I was able to see them in 2002. Amazing concert!!! I know Maynard has a struggle within over his mother's suffering and God. You can feel it and hear it in their songs. It moves me. I think most of us can connect with the spiritual / physical struggle we Christians are aware of....the inner battle to do, think, and say the right things, to be righteous in a corrupt world. This band brings their talent and ability to address this struggle.
I am not affiliated with any religious groups, but you guys have very intriguing thoughts about all of my favorite songs, and I love learning from you guys
I had the privilege of sitting about 25 rows up on the right side of the stage 6 mos ago. I was looking down at Danny Carey from his left side. Purchased the tickets on purpose to just watch. His independence between hand and foot is second to none. As a drummer this is one drummer I look to for motivation and inspiration. I thank you both for featuring this talented drummer. Passion for music is what this video also shares.
Please watch Danny Carey Lateralus + interview. It shows a little about how he made his drumming style and was influenced. Great video, There is long and short versions of the video.
As one who does listen to Tool recreationally I must say, keep on keeping on, my dudes. I am not what anyone would describe as a holy man, but I do enjoy your biblical takes on Tool. Different worldviews from my own are always welcome. God bless!
You guys are great! I'm not a religious person but I do love Tool, and sincere people, and you guys seem pretty good-hearted. Thanks for the videos! keep em coming
Dream Theater - Honor Thy Father Dream Theater - In the Name of God Dream Theater - Lines in the Sand Dream Theater - Sacrificed Sons Here's a band with a gold mine of music for you to dig into. And with a drummer, Mike Portnoy, that's on par with if not better than Danny Carey too(different styles of course, but still prog metal/rock).
Danny is pretty popular for using a hybrid kit which is a combination of acoustic drums and electronic drums. The pads he was hitting are electronic drums, the first one he used is a mandala pad which has multiple triggers in it and it can tell weather you’re hitting closer to the center or the edge of the pad which is why he was getting different sound on the first one. The second one he used was a regular electronic drum which has just one trigger and you get the same sound no matter where you’re hitting the pad. If you go back and listen to some of the older tool stuff and pay attention to the odd sounds they have in their songs most of them are from Danny’s drum pads. Great video! Love what you guys are doing with your channel and it’s good to see such a chill and mellow pastor that likes music for music and doesn’t care weather or not it’s “Christian” music!
I've always liked tool. But this new album made me appreciate them so much more. The are so talented. Especially Danny. Heck of a drummer. One of the best
One of the most humbling and overwhelming things in life is watching this man playing what he created with his mind and being so good at it that your mind can't even comprehend how it is possible.
Danny Carey is such a joy to watch, the skill, precision, finesse the timing and just the whole package of this most amazing drummer hard at work making it all look so effortless is amazing!!!
He is using a Korg wavedrum and the other pads he has are called mandala pads. You’ll have to google them to understand their full capabilities because there is a lot to them.
A trigger is commonly used on the bass kick more often than not. It's to help the sound stay consistent. So when playing fast it is basically insurance every hit will be at max volume and impact. The electronic drum is called a Mandala Drum. You can program sounds into it and depending where on the pad you hit you create different sounds at different pitches and pretty much on and on.
After waiting for 13 years for this album, I can honestly say I’m not disappointed. Danny Carey is the reason I love tool so much. If you dig his drumming Pastor Rob then check out the song Ticks and Leeches if you haven’t already, the drumming will blow your mind!
He reminds me of the spider guy from Spirited Away. After yall had said "he looks so comfortable". Like the extensions of his arms were entering the spice cabenets of the drum world. Also i super dig watching this video even more with yalls reaction. I am officially a loyal fan now lol

"They're really good live" Literally the understatement of the century if there is one lol

The Mohawk guy at 9:09 is Maynard crossing behind the stage during the extended music break
Maynard has a some wigs he's used with Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer.
In other videos, at one point you can see him stops to stare at Danny's performance.
Listener: What are the time signatures?
Tool: Yes!
LOL, All of them.
I want the 7empest Danny Cam video... matter of fact, I'll be ecstatic if Vic Firth released the whole concert.
MrPittsburghJ have they played 7empest live yet?
Luke’sNot The Devil It debuted in Sydney February 18
They'd been playing it live since the Australia leg of the tour. On toolproject you can find and at least listen to those shows where they played 7empest.
Unfortunately they hadn't played the song at the time this show was recorded.
I dunno...we might get tired of it after 200 viewings.........nah, we wouldn't......my bad.
The closest thing I've had to a religious experience was a Tool show on 7 grams of psilocybin. They're an incredibly talented group of musicians. Add the visuals of the show to the music and you're off to a different dimension.
58 years . Jeez look at the guns on this guy. If he’s got a workout regimen I’d like to see it , or maybe I just did.
This is the workout regiment🤪
And this is just one number from a whole concert. Drumming is a heart, soul and body experience, and Danny epitomizes this.
Trust me, drumming is a workout itself.
Despite the government and world appearing to be set to plunge us into the end of days to "recover" from current events, it's peace inducing to hear such a musical masterpiece before we go if that's the designed future. Thank you for another great share Pastor Rob n Gauge

From his seat forward...between his legs snare, above those 2 “toms” a 10 inch standard tom and a 12 inch roto tom..pad to the right is a ‘Korg wave drum’ and one of his signature tablas, below and the right of that is 2 floor toms...then runs 2 bass drums of slightly different sizes...to the left is about 4 signature tablas (his custom electric drum pad/trigger) plus a dozen cymbals and a gong and other trick stuff
Also a laptop that he can essentially hit the arrow keys and cycle sounds for songs. Its overly complicated and simple at the same time.
@@MegaJufy I reckon it's an 8" tom and the 12" roto
@@yanisocratous it is an 8" tom and if I recall correctly a 14" roto tom in fact.
@@Vivi2372 if I'm right I believe it's a 2' Tom and an 4 " Jerry.......lol jk
He truly is a God made talent!
The time signatures for the main riff (which varies slightly of course) is - a bar of 12/8 (felt as 2 bars of 6/8), a bar of 5/8, then a long bar of 16/8 (felt as 2 bars of 6/8 and a bar of 4/4). This is 100% accurate. You can count it, spot on: 1 2 3 4 5 6 || 1 2 3 4 5 6 || 1 2 3 4 5 || 1 2 3 4 5 6 || 1 2 3 4 5 6 || 1 2 3 4
The first part is alternating 14/8 and 19/8: 3-3-3-3-2, 3-3-3-3-2-3-2, so it's the same first 14 beats for each one, with that little 5/8 tag at the end of the second measure. ( quick google search! Love the channel dudes! )
I really don't get how this song confuses so many people lol... the song is in 7, it is easier to count than schism. From the bass to the vocals it is 7777 7777 5436 8 (or 5777 ie 5 4+3 (6+8)÷2) . So 8 bars of 7 and then a 5777 bridge. Really simple. There is no 14s and 19s and 33 beat phrases lol.
yup found it in 5 sec Pneuma rhythm/time signature : ToolBand - Reddit
@@iantrolington6594 not everyone knows time signatures especially not me
@@senorsavage8702 all you gotta do is tap the beat with your hand and listen to the phrases. Doesn't take any theory understanding or special talent. As long as you can count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and rewind where you are confused you can do it too. The guitar and drum were obviously written off the bass line that has a descending riff made of two phrases that are both counted at 7 and accented pretty clearly when the drums and the guitar introduce themselves. It repeats 4 times. The 5th time they want to transition into the verse so they raised the notes, put the accents in a different spot and cut 2 beats instead of copy pasting like a pop track. Traditionally in metal it is very common to cut or add a beat to create a transition, it makes it feel like the next movement wasn't just tacked on but rather built to. There is no "knowing" time signatures, you either can hear a beat or you have simply been mind controlled by all the radio songs. People without any training can easily listen to a new song and tell you what signature an instrument is in when the phrases repeat like these songs.
Adam said its 33/16
He makes it look so effortless. However his arms and calves speak otherwise lol. And I love when he smiled at the camera. He's just doing what he loves, has a passion for and how can that not be fun??
Dude, just air-drumming the intro is hard; I usually pause for a bathroom break.
Danny Carey Wikipedia:
"He has also stated that when he is playing to an odd time signature, he tries to drum to the "feel" of the song and establish general "inner pulse" for the given time signature instead of fully counting it out."

Danny Carey is 6'5"
Once you go tool you never go back to liking one band. You get obsessed with them
i'm pretty obsessed with this song and most of this album. what's another good one? they were around when i was younger, i think i had the lateralus album but what's another good one?
@@saltydog9321 All of them
WATCHING THIS, PASTOR ROB AND GUAGE!! I LOVE YOU BOTH AND HAVE RECENTLY ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE THE WAY I PUSHED HIM AWAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RUclips CHANNEL AND THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS!!✝️❤💯
Wow! Glad for your repentant heart brother!
Your crazy
Does not matter what someone is doing, when you see someone so in tune with what they are doing like this it is a beauty to behold. It looks like "he is not there", he is just the notes/sounds he wants to make and his body just auto pilots to make it, stunning.
There's auto-pilot, where everything is pre-programmed, then there's muscle memory, which is from constant practice but has flexibility. Danny has the second - he has been doing this for so long, he can adapt instantly and yet still be the solid foundation which lifts up the rest of the band. As a singer and guitarist, I say this with absolute sincerity - the drummer is the core of the group, and the group lives and dies on the strength of the drummer.
the pad danny keeps hitting under his center right crash is called a "korg wave drum". danny has been using the same pad on his kit you see here since 1996.
Thats not true. You dont have a clue as to what your saying. You need some education or help of some sort
These live videos of Tool can never manage to match or capture the power of the instruments. It’s such an amazing energy to watch these guys live. I’ve seen almost all the rock greats, but this group just can’t be beat when it comes to live performance quality
Danny had a famous fan, one of his mentors whom influenced Danny. Mentor was "Professor" Neil Peart of Rush.
Neil Peart is a legend too!
I thought Pink Floyd would be the best concert I ever saw. Until I saw tool in Des Moines in 2019. So technical so perfect
You’ve gotta make a robert haughton bobble head with the headphones, merch it up😅
Haahah
His head is on point with music, tempo change, kicks and crashes, tho!! ....I'd buy 1 forsure!
Hard to headbang with tool....I nearly threw my neck with whiplash with the constant changing of beats when I saw them
I need one for Rob & Gage (sp?). Make em! lol
@@drekavacx5673 the kid's one would be boring. He barely even reacts to these.
I saw them in Dallas in February of this year. Unbelievable! They are the most talented musically and lyrically band while providing a spiritually complex experience. Great video of Danny! Thanks for sharing!
There’s a reason he’s called the octopus for a reason. The man is insanely talented with his craft! Thank you for watching
Like Tal Farlow?
You just witnessed the best drummer of all time.
Since Neil passed, definitely no contest at all
"I don't listen to Tool recreationally" Pastor Rob has come too far down the road of Tool enlightenment for this statement to remain true.
The song is an exercise in polyrhythms based off of 4 over 3, the general thought is the intro and body is in 33/16 but it’s easier to think of as in recurring bars of 14/8,12/8,7/8. During the chorus there are various transitions to multiple time signatures but that might be the easiest way to count.
🤯
Enjoying these reactions Pastor Rob- I’m a huge Tool fan, despite not agreeing fully with their lyrics. That said, I think there is still some good content in them. Pneuma reminds me of neo-gnosticism-the idea that the physical world is evil, but the spirit world is good, and salvation is found by exiting the physical world. I actually believed this unknowingly as an evangelical until getting into NT Wright’s work. While Wright is controversial on many things, I think what he has to say about the physical world being ontologically good, yet compromised by sin, is a major doctrinal distinctive of Christianity that has been lost.
It's almost super natural to do this long intricate piece of percussion flawlessly. Simply wonderful! GOD BLESS danny!
His Jersey says It. The main riff is in 33/8 and that little variation(~ 3:56) can be counted as 25/8, then it returns to 33/8. Before the B section of the song, the riff after the variation (starting at 5:11, right when he says "one word") actually goes as two bars of 7/4, "chopping off" the last 5 eigth notes from the original 33/8 to make room for the 4/4 that is felt during the break.
Those time signatures can be counted in many ways though, as long as they add up. What matters is the feel, and we only write time signatures as guidance. For a riff that repeats many times, you tipically wouldn't find a constantly changing time signature of 14/8 and 19/8 in a music sheet, that's why I prefer saying It is 33/8 (also because the number happens to be in his shirt, making it a fun coincidence)
Yup, I hear it as 2x7/4 followed by 1x5/8. Adds up to the same and I am more than happy to compromise at 33/8 especially with his jersey.
Great time to be alive and seeing greatness of this magnitude.
Saw them in November in Toronto. Best thing I saw in 2019.
Detroit. Same.
Pittsburgh. Same.
I was at the Monday show in Toronto. A more religious experuence than I've ever had at church.
BEST live show I have EVER seen!! Danny Carey is an AMAZING drum performance to witness!! He is AWESOME!!
a TOOl concert is an amazing thing to experience live.
THAT WAS MJK WALKING BY! LOL!
"I don't think he messed up once!"
...and then he messed up.
But hey, it happens. Awesome performance nonetheless.
Guess you're talking about around 12:47??
@@Mike_Webb78 It began a bit earlier. 12:35 - he smiled at someone about something and distracted himself, lost the rhythm and it took him a moment to get back on track.
@@krzyszwojciech i think he jumped the guitar and was giving him the good ole sorry about that smile. well recovered though. nice catch most would have missed it
To quote a guy who commented on a Rosetta Stoned performance, "Danny Carey is a project created by drum companies to be the ultimate drummer, the only reason he was programmed to make a mistake is to make you think he's human"
I don’t understand people like you who have the audacity to cherry pick a drummer of a super off measured, technical, artful, and unique band and then at the end smoothly say awesome performance nonetheless like you are such a musical genius to formulate that response from a one of the most unique and insanely talented drummers alive today,
I’m no drummer. I’m no expert musician. But for crying out loud, so many people like you on RUclips need to check your musical egos right out the door
Seems I'm behind the times I asked you to watch the drum cam. And the next video is you watching the drum cam LOL my bad
In my not so humble opinion, TooL is the greatest rock band ever. Porcupine Tree is very high up there in my book as well. Seeing others becoming fans always puts a smile on my face. Like Danny Carey, Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree. is another insanely impeccable drummer. If you have not already, I would definitely check out Porcupine Tree. Another band I like to refer to as “astute”. Very good group. The album Odd Soul by Mute Math crosses me as an album in which you may enjoy as well. Rock on \m/ \m/ 👍
pastor ROB,
TOLD YOU that you wont be disappointed..it was nice to see your reaction and awe to hear the technicality of the studio recording being recreated in live..thats what makes TOOL such an amazing BAND IMO..
I was at this exact concert which was in Boston this year and it was the best musical experience I have ever had and the first time seeing them live! They sounded fantastic but the on thing you don't get from this video is how stunning the visuals were. Me and my girlfriend who went with me who doesnt care for Tool had are mouths dropped the whole song because of the combination of lights, video, and amazing music. Ever since that concert she became a fan. Thanks for doing the reaction
I love the fact that half way through Danny has like a smirk/laugh on his face. Like I’m not even trying right now🤣😂🤣😂
That was because he farted. It had nothing to do with trying
Most of the album was written in 7/8, there's a few podcasts where the members discuss that 7 just felt right throughout the writing process
Danny has the best fills of anyone I've ever heard, I'm 62 and have heard many to say the least, regard him as the best of our time.
-"Danny what time signature should we go for?"
-"Yes".
The best thing about this video isnt the drumming.
Its the love between you two.
Are you suggesting they are gay?
That's why we call him the Human Octopus...
Time signatures in this song are awesome. Probably one of the most complex Tool songs in terms of time changes.
Here is are measures as I hear them,
Intro
4/4 (6+6+4)
Section A (Bass Only)
7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 2 measures
Note, Bass starts on the 1/4 before the start of the actual 7/4 measure. This throws of the timing if you don’t count it this way
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / +3 + 2
Section A (All Instruments)
7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 2 measures
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / +3 + 2
Then after 2 measures of bass only the Guitar and Drums enter.
The cymbal choke is the point to start counting the measure. The guitar also plays a note 1/4 before the cymbal choke throwing off the down beat of the measure, same as the bass riff opening the song.
Section B (Time Change)
After 2 measures with the bass, guitar and drums the time signature of the first measure changes to 17/8 This adds an extra 3 x 8th notes into the measure making it 17/8 opposed to 14/8 or (7/4). This additional 3/8 note plays the highest note in the entire pattern.
The second half of the measure is changed to 4/4 sub divided.
This only lasts for one measure.
17/8 + 4/4 x 1
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / 3 + 3 + 2
Section A (All instruments)
The original time signature is returned for 1 measure until Vocals enter
7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 1 measure
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / +3 + 2
Section A (All Instruments + Vocals )
Vocals join and the original measure is repeated 7 times.
7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 7 measures
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / +3 + 2
Section B (Time Change)
17/8 + 4/4 x 1
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / 3 + 3 + 2
Section C (Time Change)
7/4 + 6/4 x 1 measure
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 / 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 /
Section D (Instrumental Big Riff)
4/4
Instrumental big riff is straight time measure, but still feels odd in the drum fills?? - WTF dudes!!.
Section A (Bass Only)
7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 1 measure
Section A (Drums and Guitar)
Snare roll and guitar enter
7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 1 measure
Section A (Vocals Enter)
7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 8 measures
Section B Time change
17/8 + 4/4 x 1 measure
Section C (Time Change)
7/4 + 6/4 x 1 measure
Section D (Instrumental Big Riff)
4/4 x didn’t count the measures on this.
Instrumental big riff is straight time measure
This instrumental continues in 4/4 with Danny’s awesome pattern moving round the whole kit!! - Damn he’s a beast y’all!!
Section E (Adam Chugging Riff)
This returns to the original pattern which is
7/4 + 7/4 + 5/8 x measure
Then bass and drums enter. This riff is disgustingly heavy!!
Section A (Vocals Enter)
This keeps the original pattern of
7/4 + 7/4+ 5/8 x 2 measures
Section B
17/8 + 4/4 x 1
7/4 x 1
Ends on
Section D (Instrumental Big Riff) -
Finished in 4/4.
What a FUCKING MASTERPIECE LADS!!
I heard that Danny Carey finnish's..a case of bottle water at every gig
I heard that you're intelligent...
not hard to believe considering ill smash a case of 24 12oz bottles in 4 hours while playing paintball.
Inconceivable!
I'm not a fan of religion but what you guys are doing is pretty amazing. I love that you say "It's a learning experience" rather than judge you learn and understand. I love your perspective and your kindness. Exactly how it should be!!
Try to use the word "love" a little less. Makes people think your weird and stuff you fool. Stop it already!

You should react to The Patient next, another song MJK wrote about his mother and her illness
I’ve never heard that patient was about his mother. I don’t see how it could be, but it is an amazing song and I love the lyrics. One of my favorites for sure.
@@Shadowise-46.2 How couldn't it be? If there were no rewards to reap, I certainly would have walked away by now. That lyric represents her struggle to keep faith and fight through her illness rather than just ending it. The whole song is told from her point of view.
I always thought it was about how he is getting older and tired but keeps on making music because the fans need it, it is just draining.
Yeah this song reminds me a lot of it. Especially the instrumental parts after the choruses. The rest of the song is very Schism-ish. It's awesome.
@@Shadowise-46.2 the patient is track number 3 on Lateralus. I'm saying that so you can go back and listen to it again . Please name one other person on the planet that song could be about besides his mom?
Love your view as a pastor. Shocked me to here a the words of a true Christian man at the end. Shalom
12:47 Rob got surprised in the moment that Danny made a mistake ahahahahaha
You’re the only person to point that part out. I tried on a different reaction channel, but got shot down by everyone in the comments claiming I was jealous. I’m not jealous at all. I can’t be. I don’t put the time in anymore to even attempt anything DC writes. I was just trying to say that it gave me some relief that even the greats can miss a beat. I laugh every time I screw up, so seeing DC also smile when he tripped up is comforting.
@@GhostDrummer Lol, yeah. Danny admitted at some point that the new music are technically the more difficult ones to play, as they aren't totally used to it. He also stated that The Grudge is the most difficult to play endurance-wise. Y'know, the guy is already extremely talented. But when a guy so extremely talented as him also is as humble, to even talking about his difficulties playing some songs, he's even greater.
Several places Danny drums 3 or 4 different rhythms simultaneously. 8:43 for instance. I love how some of the more technical parts in Tools songs are not just the fast, heavy, hit you in your face parts. The drum cam is a great way to show this.
i LOVE your shirt Pastor Rob!
I am a huge Tool fan. Tool got me through the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Lateralus was an awesome album and I was able to see them in 2002. Amazing concert!!! I know Maynard has a struggle within over his mother's suffering and God. You can feel it and hear it in their songs. It moves me. I think most of us can connect with the spiritual / physical struggle we Christians are aware of....the inner battle to do, think, and say the right things, to be righteous in a corrupt world. This band brings their talent and ability to address this struggle.
I'd love to see you guys react to Pantera's Floods.
I am not affiliated with any religious groups, but you guys have very intriguing thoughts about all of my favorite songs, and I love learning from you guys
I recommend watching Tool Sober live film clip Maynards live performance.

I had the privilege of sitting about 25 rows up on the right side of the stage 6 mos ago. I was looking down at Danny Carey from his left side. Purchased the tickets on purpose to just watch. His independence between hand and foot is second to none. As a drummer this is one drummer I look to for motivation and inspiration. I thank you both for featuring this talented drummer. Passion for music is what this video also shares.
ruclips.net/video/EnRBbZ6_kG8/видео.html
Please watch Danny Carey Lateralus + interview. It shows a little about how he made his drumming style and was influenced. Great video, There is long and short versions of the video.
As one who does listen to Tool recreationally I must say, keep on keeping on, my dudes. I am not what anyone would describe as a holy man, but I do enjoy your biblical takes on Tool. Different worldviews from my own are always welcome. God bless!
what is the time signature?
tool: yes
For which limb and precisely which millisecond?
ALL OF THEM.
You guys are great! I'm not a religious person but I do love Tool, and sincere people, and you guys seem pretty good-hearted. Thanks for the videos! keep em coming

@@dodgrblu for your own good - don't say ANYONE is better than ANYONE from Tool in the comments under any Tool-related video lmao
Danny is pretty popular for using a hybrid kit which is a combination of acoustic drums and electronic drums. The pads he was hitting are electronic drums, the first one he used is a mandala pad which has multiple triggers in it and it can tell weather you’re hitting closer to the center or the edge of the pad which is why he was getting different sound on the first one. The second one he used was a regular electronic drum which has just one trigger and you get the same sound no matter where you’re hitting the pad. If you go back and listen to some of the older tool stuff and pay attention to the odd sounds they have in their songs most of them are from Danny’s drum pads. Great video! Love what you guys are doing with your channel and it’s good to see such a chill and mellow pastor that likes music for music and doesn’t care weather or not it’s “Christian” music!
The independent limb dexterity that Danny Carey has is unnatural
I've always liked tool. But this new album made me appreciate them so much more. The are so talented. Especially Danny. Heck of a drummer. One of the best
that little build up at 11:34 gets me every time...
Your lucky its not a big build up fool
Pneuma means, the vital spirit, soul, or creative force of a person. I love this song!
Ahhh this was a badass drum cam! My husband and I saw them in concert 10 months ago and it was amazing! Danny Carey even did a badass drum solo.
One of the most humbling and overwhelming things in life is watching this man playing what he created with his mind and being so good at it that your mind can't even comprehend how it is possible.
And he's only 57 years old.
He's 58 and turns 59 in May
Danny Carey is such a joy to watch, the skill, precision, finesse the timing and just the whole package of this most amazing drummer hard at work making it all look so effortless is amazing!!!

I’m soooo glad you guys did this I was thinking all the way through the pneuma video you NEEDED to see this video. 🙌
He is using a Korg wavedrum and the other pads he has are called mandala pads. You’ll have to google them to understand their full capabilities because there is a lot to them.
Probably the best rock/metal drummer ever
Theocracy - I Am
I was at that concert, it's the one from the TD Garden on November 14th last year. Definitely the coolest song of that performance by far.
I hope I'm as spry as Danny Carey when I'm almost 60.
Spry, made me think of bad santa 😂
A trigger is commonly used on the bass kick more often than not. It's to help the sound stay consistent. So when playing fast it is basically insurance every hit will be at max volume and impact.
The electronic drum is called a Mandala Drum. You can program sounds into it and depending where on the pad you hit you create different sounds at different pitches and pretty much on and on.
After waiting for 13 years for this album, I can honestly say I’m not disappointed. Danny Carey is the reason I love tool so much. If you dig his drumming Pastor Rob then check out the song Ticks and Leeches if you haven’t already, the drumming will blow your mind!
He reminds me of the spider guy from Spirited Away. After yall had said "he looks so comfortable". Like the extensions of his arms were entering the spice cabenets of the drum world.
Also i super dig watching this video even more with yalls reaction. I am officially a loyal fan now lol
