Not gonna find a better rock drummer alive right now. Only a handful of drummers can do polyrythems and Danny is the master. I am lucky enough to have the job i do at Vic Firth Drumsticks here in Boston and was in our company box for this very show. Got to meet him before the show when he came to our corporate headquarters.
I'm so envious... I'm in the UK and would love a pair of DC drum sticks. Just so I could mangle some of the poly rhythms that Danny does.. What a friggin cool job you have mate.. I'm bet Danny was a proper genuine top bloke too.. Study the greats everyone..😎🤘😁
Yeah I was so swept up by the performance I forgot to comment on the clarity of the mix! I checked out the studio version and I think the live mix is better which is usually never the case for me personally 💯
Brother, you're one of the only people I've seen react to that backhand slap of the cymbal at 13:36. I've always LOVED that. Danny didn't even turn his head; it's such a nice moment.
I appreciate your reaction. Danny Carey is a legend. His ability to play multiple rhythms simultaneously is a testament to his talent. Danny was actually 58 years old when this video was shot. He's 60 now, and they are touring again! There are so many incredible Tool songs to react to. I would recommend something off their Lateralus or Aenima album, but honestly. "H." is my favorite song by them. God bless, and best of luck with your personal music and your channel!
Thank you! Yeah it would take me a few lifetimes to be able to play multiple rhythms like him and I still probably wouldn't be that good! He's an incredible musician! I've heard Lateralus is a lot of people's favorite album by them so that's another one I want to check out. I'll keep "H" in mind. Appreciate your comment! 💯🔥🤘
Although Danny is a huge part of every Tool song, I think this one might be Tool's Danny-est song. We are so lucky that they made this video so we could all witness what Danny does here.
Dude just turned 61!!!! Word around the campfire is the Larry Legend jersey supposedly significant, because he is a 33 degree Mason and his father is as well. Sacred Geometry all over his drum kit. Im loving the reactions. Im ripping through all of them one after the other .
Also he’s a huge NBA fan so every single arena they play, that team of the city customizes his own jersey for him. Lol what a life. But whats really interesting about TOOL is that when they got started, they were just doing it for fun and then all these record deals started coming in. They are very hesitant on presuming that because they all had they day jobs that they absolutely loved. For instance, guitarist Adam Jones had a pretty cool job as a sculptor and special effects designer in Hollywood before joining the band. He worked in makeup and set design department on such iconic features as "Jurassic Park," "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," "Dances with Wolves," "Ghostbusters II," and more. By "and more" we mean that Adam designed the "Freddy Krueger in the womb" makeup for "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child," and also worked on "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master."
Becareful about the Tool's paradox : every Tool song is better than every other Tool song. (To me, they are as inventive as Led Zep' were in the 70's... ) Enjoy !
It's very encouraging to read these comments and no I'm not the one that has this kind of thought process... I was just telling somebody my favorite Tool song is whatever current Tool song I'm listening to in that moment.. another beautiful thing about these songs are I believe there's still more to be discovered within each song as I know I haven't unpackaged everything the the song an artwork all together provides
Danny's polyrhythms and sick time signatures not to mention he is able to get 3 or more all going at the same time. Who does that? They don't call him the Octopus for nothing. On top of their music is based off from numerical polyrhythms and timing structures that most bands can't comprehend. I think Danny is almost 60, his strength and power is unbelievable. Tool is my favorite band over all. Not to mention the amazing riffs of Adam and Justin and words put forth by Maynard. Untouchable. 😎🤘
Welcome to Tool...Danny Carey is on another level of drumming than most of the drummers today. The answer is yes, more Tool, you won't be disappointed. Since you started at a high level song I recommend you do Laturalus next ...A song built on the Fibonacci sequence...the lyrics, drums, versing,all of it. Spiral out...keep going.
The dude's a genius. Nevermind writing the song, but the ability to play all of this material (songs being up to 15 min long) at his age is nuts. Troughout all the polyrythms and polymeters, he's just as calm as a button lol
I have commented on your videos before, but it's been a while. I am one of the Tool Army that had advised you, "Spiral out; keep going", even before you heard the song "Lateralus". I revisit this, your first shared introduction to Tool, to renew my own exploration. After over 30 years of my fandom, I still can feel my original passion when I can see it *vicariously* through your eyes.
Danny Carrey's a beast of a drummer!! He's not only in tip top physical shape (even though he's in his early 60's) he's super tall at 6'5". Definitely one of my favorite drummers. 👌
I'm subbing solely on your 'genuine' mind blown reaction. Obviously you understand music and it's construction. And if your a circle fan you know anything Maynard does will be complex. But what sold me was your face on the middle technical part, the fact you even attempted to time a drop by tool had to be respected.😂 I'm a drummer and the lessons I take from Danny is just friggin give up and go home..😎 Truly one of the greatest ever. Name drop anyone, Neal peart if you want.. I'll argue the fact Danny is as good as anyone that has walked this earth. That middle bit blows my mind every time.. He's literally doing 4 different patterns at once.. You said he's on another level.. He's in another dimension my friend.😁 Loved your reaction, its cool for me to see other folks enjoy the music I love too.. I tell anyone, that I 'bet' you, I can make you like rock or metal. Then just play them something like this.. Keep the faith brother.. Cya soon 🤘🤘🤘🙏
Appreciate the comment man! Yeah they are so patient and I was so ready for a drop 😂😂😂 Neil Peart is incredible too! I can't believe Carey was playing all those different rhythms! I can barely wrap my mind around it! 💯🤘
@@Skullzrapper no problem my friend. I'm a music obsessive.. I love all music. I'm older so I've had the chance to find out the cream always rises to the top, wether I'm listening to early 80s rap, Detroit techno, full blown metal or stuff like Motown or 80s pop that I grew up with. All you need is a open mind. Honest I could say, listen to this or that..I must bore my own kids, but I have a 6 year old named after Luke Skywalker who likes Bowie 😁 And I promise I'll give your tune a listen too, rap and hip-hop, even tho I'm here in England, was a huge part of myself and my friends growing up. Our first gig was mantronix in our second home the famous hacienda club here in Manchester. I saw the beastie boys and LL cool j in the same night. Schooly D the original gangsta rapper ,RUN DMC , public enemy. So I think I have a pretty open mind to anything.. Just keep the faith and keep the grind and follow your heart brother.. I'd say the same to my kids and do.. But you don't need me to tell you that..😁🙏🤘 Hey just put your headphones on and listen to....the pot by tool and then schism by tool. Just because you will love them.. Cya soon mate..🤟
I will check out more from Tool soon! And I appreciate you willing to check out my music 🙏 i used to listen to Run DMC a bit but was more in the Tupac and Nas realm of rap growing up haha. Thanks for the comment 💯
3:16 - Rewatching your reaction, those things he's playing in the beginning are Synesthesia Mandala Drums, and he's a co-developed of them. 128 striking rings, with intensity from 0 to 127, giving each pad 16,256 possible responses. EACH PAD!
Man, I had the same reaction after watching this video about a year ago. It brought me right back down into a Tool rabbit hole. I bought the Undertow and Aenima CD's back in the 90's but kinda neglected them for 25 years. I had missed so much.
Don't worry, I neglected them my whole life lol. But I probably wouldn't have looked so deeply into their lyrics if I didn't start reacting to them. Everything happens for a reason 💯🤘🌀
@@Skullzrapper Thanks for the reply mate. I'm now hoping and praying with all my might that they tour Australia one more time, because I need to experience it.
Dude I been watching your reactions to Undertow and now the beginning of Aenima, and it was great to come back to here and see what set you on this journey! The first time I saw this Drum Cam vid I shat myself, I thought the web was gonna explode! It was cool to see it having seen the song done live down here in Sydney back in 2020 - just before the shit hit the fan big time. You can't but not be energized by watching this! I laughed when he literally did his first little drum rolley slowing down thing - he had you then!! As for that stamina you speak of - this is one song, imagine a whole show of it, over many shows, over the last 30 years - no wonder he's built like a brick shit house!! There must be more of these right??? Like the whole concert??? Where are they!! Peace dude, looking forward to seeing you experience Eulogy for the first time :)
Danny is an.absolute legend.an Tool is out if this world ...phenomenal together an incredible reaction you are amazing thanku so much love and God bless always...thanku so much x
I'm going to see them live for the first time tomorrow, so exited. Tool is a deep rabbit hole I rediscovered them in 2020 watching reaction videos. I had the '96 ænima album but never got into them back then.
I like to return to this early exposure you had to Tool every so often. You really had little to no idea what lay ahead. Some parts of your reaction make me chuckle because if this. Keep up the great reactions man.
Great reaction.🤘You understand music.Many reactors dont get the point or dont understand how amazing performance this is.Time signatures and the way he play together with the vocalist.
Thank you! I don't always catch everything (tbh, it's much easier to catch things when the camera is locked on one player haha) but I always try to notice what I can! 💯 Appreciate your comment 🤘
Seriously, watching react videos, to Pneuma, is my new favorite pastime and nothing is more disappointing than watching them just making a few faces then signing off. Now I look at the length of the video before watching to see if they actually talk about it.
Yeah, Danny is so technical and so precise. It's hard for me to wrap my head around how he's able to create these masterpieces. Oh, and btw, he's 60 years old. It's just nuts.
As your final Tool Discography video was just released, I came back to the beginning and watched this video again. So cool you decided to give Tool such a thorough listen. I appreciate your breakdowns and analysis. I enjoy watching.
I’ve been waiting for you!! A reactor who knows and appreciates the complexity of Tool, and working your way through the discography. I love essentially being in the same room with someone experiencing Tool for the first time, living Vicariously through you. Good stuff!!
I heard someone say once, "there's a story that Danny Carey made a deal with the devil, no one knows what Danny got, but the devil got free drum lessons".
Their songs may be long, yes, and they may be complex as well, indeed, but time does not pass while you’re listening to Tool. It is conceivable to achieve immortality by creating/playing a mix wherein there are no gaps between their songs.
I held out to “Cold & Ugly” to watch this one. Once I heard you were starting from the beginning I cut it off. Not disappointed. Your ear for all the nuances on the first listen is damn impressive. Thanks for sharing man! I sincerely believe the “stamina” Danny displays encourages the active listener to more…15:23 made me lol
I've been into this band since 1993; it's been a privilege to go on the journey of this band's development and evolution, with each new album release, listening to them get better and better at being Tool, at being these four musicians working with and off of one other, and where that point is in the center where they all coalesce. And to Skullz: what is always a genuine thrill for me seeing videos like yours - of someone's first experience of Tool or of a certain song - is the wide-eyed swirling brew of emotions that come, a mix generally felt only when the senses have experienced something truly unique and special. Joy, awe, wonder, reverance, shock, a mind blown, a need to hear more and that will not be denied... I get to experience the first-time listener's joy vicariously - at the same time I'm transported right back to when I first heard it too... I fuckin love it man.
That's why I love reactions too! Plus people are so interesting with the way they interpret songs 💯 I'm working through their album Aenima on the channel right now! It's been an incredible ride so far! They are truly special 🤘
We’re so close to you being able to hear the studio version of this track, which is track #2 on Fear Inoculum! The studio version is so much better than the live version, as the mixing and mastering on the album is absolutely masterful. Maynard sounds magical in the studio track. Very cool to see you first experience TOOL in this video again after watching every other video you’ve done on your TOOL journey- Fear Inoculum might be your favorite album!
First Thing i noticed in listening to Tool 4 years ago is that they have the best Drummer i have ever heard. Yeah, definitely at another level. Not only polyrhytms but percussions, his magic movements in using the sticks, the drumpads, the Mandala drums , his equipment. And the Alchemy with Maynard's VOICE.
Another physiological thing you should know about Danny - He's about 6' 7". So, not only does he need to keep in shape for keeping up this level of drumming through concerts, he has A Lot to keep in shape. ...He's also in his 50's in this, I believe. So yeah. The music gods built The Octopus well, and he seems to have kept that machine running strong.
Yes, please. I'm already chewing through your Tool reactions like a rabid dog. :D Please react to Push It (Salival). It's a live version that is substantially different from the original recording. They went a new direction with it, and asked the audience's permission. Pneuma is an amazing name for the song, "breath" but also "vital essence/soul."
I've watched at least 50 reaction videos. It still completely boggles my mind. Four limbs are all doing something different and he's not looking at any of them. He hammers with such emotion and energy. Great reaction
I know man! Crazy! I honestly don't think he could look at just one thing or it'd mess him up. He has to be multiple people at once with those polyrhythms . He's basically channeling his inner Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen 😂
@@Skullzrapper 🤣and that's why people refer to him as octopus. Sixty years old and he could beat you to death with his polyrhythms. Neil Peart from Rush used polyrhythms alot. Check out his drum solo in Frankfurt Germany
WOW!!!! Why isn’t this reaction blowing up?!?! Amazing amazing reaction brother!! In my opinion he is the best drummer in history so far. No one else has his dynamics, precision and unbelievable power when needed. And he constantly keeps pushing himself through each album. He is the 🐐!!! Hope to hear some more TOOL reactions! Your music and the video is so solid!! Amazing job doing literally everything, that’s crazy and very cool! Mad respect!!
Aye I appreciate you saying that! Yeah this was fucking unbelievable dude! I've listened to it probably 10 times since I recorded the reaction 😂 Instantly one of my favorites drummers! I will definitely check out more Tool! Thank you for the comment 🤘
This is definitely my favorite song. #1 I turn the lights off, and listen to it in the dark. Try not to think, or analyze it. Just experience, and feel it. It's really the only way I've been able to meditate. Listening to it that, I feel, take the song to another level. Just my opinion though.
Yes! Dude, welcome to your new life. 🙂 Great reaction! I know it's hard to change behaviour, but try not to cover your mouth so much when you smile, you have a great smile! And we looove seeing people happy! Spiral out, brother. 👍
Hey man! Watched a bunch of your tool-videos tonight and I really enjoyed it. You are very quick in understanding, analizing and finding the right words. I guess your Rap-background helps on that one. Oh, by the way, watched the video of your song and I really liked it. And I am a Rock guy, so Rap isn't really my thing, but this sounds different from the usual stuff and I like your voice! Greets from Germany!
Glad you're enjoying the videos! And yeah rap isn't my go-to genre but I absolutely love to do it. If you check out more of my stuff, you'll see almost every song is completely different and I truly feel like Maynard and I approach lyricism similarly so you might like how the songs tie together 💯 Thank you for taking the time to check it out my friend! Cheers 🤘
His fundamentals are amazing he watches elbow level it basically never changes I mean when he goes to the crazier fills but they basically don't move the whole song
I'm here for tool, but that song at the beginning really struck me. Even in that small snippet that was enough sample size to interest me. Definitely going to check that out after I hear this reaction. ( This is my current and longest lasting favorite song on the album, really whatever's tool song I'm listening to at the time is my favorite tool song lol)
Hell yeah you need to dig into more Tool. You haven't even scratched the surface. The Pot Right In Two Invincible Just suggestions for your next submersion into the experience that is Tool (the Pink Floyd of metal).
Hope you're ready for the influx of the Tool Army Time to jump into the rabbit hole known as Tool get ready to spiral out! The Grudge, Lateralus or The Pot would be a good place to start
You’d be surprised, when you have eight arms each with independent brains all connected through a hive mind as an alien octopus stamina really isn’t an issue.

Danny was in 5 bands at the same time he was in TOOL he does not stop.
That's insane!
Yo bro do you mind if I ask you a question?
And he is 60 years old.
TOOL lets YOU know when YOU’RE ready for TOOL. Welcome to THE best band on the planet. You won’t be disappointed.

They are ridiculously good live. Sound mixing at its finest !!
Yeah I was so swept up by the performance I forgot to comment on the clarity of the mix! I checked out the studio version and I think the live mix is better which is usually never the case for me personally 💯
BTW, if you keep reacting to Tool the Tool Army will come; I promise you! 😉 We love watching new Tool fans being born. ❤
Even if I don't get the views, I'm still sneaking some more Tool reactions on the channel for my own enjoyment 💯 Appreciate you letting me know! 🤘

Note, he always end up right where he started, never missed a beat.

More amazing is that Danny was nearly 60 when this was recorded- let that sink in for a minute. 😮

@@Skullzrapper can't wait to dive with you x
I'm going to see them live for the first time tomorrow, so exited. Tool is a deep rabbit hole I rediscovered them in 2020 watching reaction videos. I had the '96 ænima album but never got into them back then.
Enjoy the concert man! I'm sure it'll be amazing! 💯🔥🤘
Update please. I've seen TOOL a number of times and I'm glad theres a new wave of people seeing them for the first time. Did your mind melt?
Take a shot every time Skullz puts his hand to his mouth in sheer awe hahah
Hey man, you're gonna give my subscribers alcohol poisoning 🤣🤣🤣
I like to return to this early exposure you had to Tool every so often. You really had little to no idea what lay ahead. Some parts of your reaction make me chuckle because if this. Keep up the great reactions man.
Great reaction.🤘You understand music.Many reactors dont get the point or dont understand how amazing performance this is.Time signatures and the way he play together with the vocalist.
Thank you! I don't always catch everything (tbh, it's much easier to catch things when the camera is locked on one player haha) but I always try to notice what I can! 💯 Appreciate your comment 🤘
Seriously, watching react videos, to Pneuma, is my new favorite pastime and nothing is more disappointing than watching them just making a few faces then signing off. Now I look at the length of the video before watching to see if they actually talk about it.
Yeah, Danny is so technical and so precise. It's hard for me to wrap my head around how he's able to create these masterpieces. Oh, and btw, he's 60 years old. It's just nuts.
Yeah, it's crazy enough to just be able to play something like this but to write it too?!?!? He is for sure a master of his craft 💯
As your final Tool Discography video was just released, I came back to the beginning and watched this video again. So cool you decided to give Tool such a thorough listen. I appreciate your breakdowns and analysis. I enjoy watching.
"he's proud of himself." Nope, he's dabbling with angels.
Sup fam🤘😎 Here for it! 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate you Jared 💯 You're a real one!
I’ve been waiting for you!! A reactor who knows and appreciates the complexity of Tool, and working your way through the discography. I love essentially being in the same room with someone experiencing Tool for the first time, living Vicariously through you. Good stuff!!
Aye Much love!🤘
That intro drum bit that Danny is playing on the pads is half of a warm up exercise I learned back in ‘92ish
I heard someone say once, "there's a story that Danny Carey made a deal with the devil, no one knows what Danny got, but the devil got free drum lessons".
😂😂😂
Their songs may be long, yes, and they may be complex as well, indeed, but time does not pass while you’re listening to Tool. It is conceivable to achieve immortality by creating/playing a mix wherein there are no gaps between their songs.
Great reaction mate. Love from an Aus Tool fan. Schism or Sober or Lateralis anything old or new, all great
The man pats his head and rubs his belly in his sleep he's literally doing something different with each limb at the same time. The man's an octopus
"It's about to drop"
TOOL fans: "Yes it is"
... 1 minute later
😂😂😂
I held out to “Cold & Ugly” to watch this one. Once I heard you were starting from the beginning I cut it off. Not disappointed. Your ear for all the nuances on the first listen is damn impressive. Thanks for sharing man!
I sincerely believe the “stamina” Danny displays encourages the active listener to more…15:23 made me lol
I went back to this one after your Lateralus reaction. You are so unaware of the greatness here, but now you know how it is.
Been a hell of a journey lol 💯
I've been into this band since 1993; it's been a privilege to go on the journey of this band's development and evolution, with each new album release, listening to them get better and better at being Tool, at being these four musicians working with and off of one other, and where that point is in the center where they all coalesce. And to Skullz: what is always a genuine thrill for me seeing videos like yours - of someone's first experience of Tool or of a certain song - is the wide-eyed swirling brew of emotions that come, a mix generally felt only when the senses have experienced something truly unique and special. Joy, awe, wonder, reverance, shock, a mind blown, a need to hear more and that will not be denied... I get to experience the first-time listener's joy vicariously - at the same time I'm transported right back to when I first heard it too... I fuckin love it man.
That's why I love reactions too! Plus people are so interesting with the way they interpret songs 💯 I'm working through their album Aenima on the channel right now! It's been an incredible ride so far! They are truly special 🤘
Respect to you my friend. Well said.
I love how you didn't pause it every 2 sec or talk over it. Just genuinely watched in amazement. Tool is so good it's stupid
For real! 🔥🔥🔥
We’re so close to you being able to hear the studio version of this track, which is track #2 on Fear Inoculum! The studio version is so much better than the live version, as the mixing and mastering on the album is absolutely masterful. Maynard sounds magical in the studio track. Very cool to see you first experience TOOL in this video again after watching every other video you’ve done on your TOOL journey- Fear Inoculum might be your favorite album!
First Thing i noticed in listening to Tool 4 years ago is that they have the best Drummer i have ever heard. Yeah, definitely at another level. Not only polyrhytms but percussions, his magic movements in using the sticks, the drumpads, the Mandala drums , his equipment. And the Alchemy with Maynard's VOICE.
Check out the drummer from the band "rush"
Seeing them in concert is just unreal and life changing.
I feel privileged to have been alive at the same time as Tool
You will be baffled and amazed.
I know this has been posted a year ago. I must have watched this video 50 times and still get chills each time ❤🔥Love it!!!! ❤
Tempest is amazing and another song where Danny's drumming is spectacular!!! highly recommend you check it out!!🔥💯🤙
Another physiological thing you should know about Danny - He's about 6' 7". So, not only does he need to keep in shape for keeping up this level of drumming through concerts, he has A Lot to keep in shape. ...He's also in his 50's in this, I believe.
So yeah. The music gods built The Octopus well, and he seems to have kept that machine running strong.
This is why I kinda love seats on upper level far right or left stage for Tool you can see everyone n what they're doing
Good work man. The rabbit hole is open, it's up to you to fall in.
Yo, my wife and I just went to the Tacoma Dome, WA TOOL Fear Innoculum tour...frickin awesome 🤘...thanks for the reaction video
Hope you guys had fun! I keep hearing they put on a hell of a show! 💯
@@Skullzrapper yes they do!!..highly recommended if you ever have a chance to go see them
Yes, please. I'm already chewing through your Tool reactions like a rabid dog. :D Please react to Push It (Salival). It's a live version that is substantially different from the original recording. They went a new direction with it, and asked the audience's permission.
Pneuma is an amazing name for the song, "breath" but also "vital essence/soul."
This is the song Danny summons multiple Deamons to control his different limbs. There are so many time signatures in the instrumental part.
I've watched at least 50 reaction videos. It still completely boggles my mind. Four limbs are all doing something different and he's not looking at any of them. He hammers with such emotion and energy. Great reaction
I know man! Crazy! I honestly don't think he could look at just one thing or it'd mess him up. He has to be multiple people at once with those polyrhythms . He's basically channeling his inner Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen 😂
@@Skullzrapper 🤣and that's why people refer to him as octopus. Sixty years old and he could beat you to death with his polyrhythms. Neil Peart from Rush used polyrhythms alot. Check out his drum solo in Frankfurt Germany
WOW!!!! Why isn’t this reaction blowing up?!?! Amazing amazing reaction brother!! In my opinion he is the best drummer in history so far. No one else has his dynamics, precision and unbelievable power when needed. And he constantly keeps pushing himself through each album. He is the 🐐!!!
Hope to hear some more TOOL reactions! Your music and the video is so solid!! Amazing job doing literally everything, that’s crazy and very cool! Mad respect!!
Aye I appreciate you saying that! Yeah this was fucking unbelievable dude! I've listened to it probably 10 times since I recorded the reaction 😂 Instantly one of my favorites drummers! I will definitely check out more Tool! Thank you for the comment 🤘
@@Skullzrapper Right on brotha!!
We’re losing a generation of TOOL fans in slow mo, it suck……hope they listen🤘
This is definitely my favorite song. #1 I turn the lights off, and listen to it in the dark. Try not to think, or analyze it. Just experience, and feel it. It's really the only way I've been able to meditate. Listening to it that, I feel, take the song to another level. Just my opinion though.
I'll have to try it 💯
Appreciate the authentic reaction. Enjoyed it with you!
Thanks man! 💯
Danny "The Mesmerizer" Carey 😵💫
Welcome to the new best drummer on the planet... RIP Niel Peart.
oh this is gonna be fun.
And the crazy part is that he is al.ost 60 in this video. Excellent drummer Danny Carey
Yes! Dude, welcome to your new life. 🙂 Great reaction! I know it's hard to change behaviour, but try not to cover your mouth so much when you smile, you have a great smile! And we looove seeing people happy! Spiral out, brother. 👍
Appreciate the love brother! 🤘
His attack is so hard yet so fluid
yeah hes literally one of the best drummers to have ever existed lol
Not bad for 61 years old
OMG he's 61?!?!? THAT'S WILD! I was thinking maybe he was 50 tops! 🔥🔥🔥
@@Skullzrapper Probably 59 at the time of this recording, but yeah, he's ripped.
Hey man! Watched a bunch of your tool-videos tonight and I really enjoyed it. You are very quick in understanding, analizing and finding the right words. I guess your Rap-background helps on that one. Oh, by the way, watched the video of your song and I really liked it. And I am a Rock guy, so Rap isn't really my thing, but this sounds different from the usual stuff and I like your voice! Greets from Germany!
Glad you're enjoying the videos! And yeah rap isn't my go-to genre but I absolutely love to do it. If you check out more of my stuff, you'll see almost every song is completely different and I truly feel like Maynard and I approach lyricism similarly so you might like how the songs tie together 💯 Thank you for taking the time to check it out my friend! Cheers 🤘
His fundamentals are amazing he watches elbow level it basically never changes I mean when he goes to the crazier fills but they basically don't move the whole song
I'll have to watch again and look for that! lol
He absolutely is a beast. and check his age sir. well done
Drumstic masterry
I'm here for tool, but that song at the beginning really struck me. Even in that small snippet that was enough sample size to interest me. Definitely going to check that out after I hear this reaction. ( This is my current and longest lasting favorite song on the album, really whatever's tool song I'm listening to at the time is my favorite tool song lol)
Appreciate that! Yeah that song at the start is called "Pins and Needles." I shot and edited the video as well. I hope you enjoy it 💯
Hell yeah you need to dig into more Tool. You haven't even scratched the surface.
The Pot
Right In Two
Invincible
Just suggestions for your next submersion into the experience that is Tool (the Pink Floyd of metal).
Another great one, I don't like the title but.....stinkfist!!!love that song!!!
Oh how 12 minutes can change youre life
Keep the Tool coming!
Hope you're ready for the influx of the Tool Army Time to jump into the rabbit hole known as Tool get ready to spiral out! The Grudge, Lateralus or The Pot would be a good place to start
The “Octopus” is 60, 6’5” and Fkn Jacked!
Love it!
When you're watching a reaction to this video, and you know the show doesn't start till 6 minutes in...
Ticks & Leeches is another that show off Danny’s talent
The epic octopus crushes it!🤘😎🤘
He’s the master! He’s doesn’t even use a click track!
You’d be surprised, when you have eight arms each with independent brains all connected through a hive mind as an alien octopus stamina really isn’t an issue.
🤣🤣🤣
Danny Carey - one of the greats indeed. I love the muted tss-tss at 12:56 to get everyone back in time..🙃
