18:00 Thanks for pointing out the rhythm pattern for the ride cymbal. I had never noticed that It’s a continuation of what he was doing earlier on the tambala. You’re the first person I’ve seen point that out. Awesome react, dude.

You gained a subscriber out of me based off this video. Your breakdowns are fantastic and you have actual interesting stuff to say while using terms non drummers but music fans can still understand.
I am so obsessed with this video, I don't know how many times I've watched it - plus pretty much every reaction out there too! I love watching people's expressions when they're like "damn this was incredible!" I will leave it to more experienced Tool fans to recommend what to listen to next.

First time I ever heard and heard of meshugga was when they opened for Tool back in 01’ I think. Saw them in Long Beach. It was a homework assignment for music class to see a live performance and count time signatures
Excellent reaction and breakdown of this drumming part! I don't even know how many times I've watched that video, definitely one of my favourite songs by Tool. One of the greats, Danny is an absolute machine.
This is a great reaction. Thank you for taking the time to explain stuff for those of us who are not drummers. I don't get why anyone would be upset by the cuts or by you talking. That is the point of a reaction video and we all know what happens with copyright violations. Thanks again. I'll be searching for some other Tool reactions from you. ^__^
I'm not a musician but I am a music lover! I like watching drummers, guitarists, voice coaches do reaction videos because it illuminates whats going on behind what I'm hearing and enjoying. I may not understand some of the terminology but I still get a sense of whats actually happening! Amazing stuff!!
The first time I saw Tool play was in 1992 opening for Gwar at the Hollywood Paladium. I believe The Melvins played that night as well. I had never heard of them before that night and everyone of my friends commented on how much they liked Tool that night. I've been a fan since that night and have seen them play many times. It's been an amazing journey and the music never sounds dated or old. The songs and the story they tell are still relevant and poignant to this day. Simply amazing.
Great analysis, man! I've watched a bunch of reaction videos to this drum cam footage, and I think that yours is one of the most enjoyable. It's really fun hearing all the things that you pick up as a drummer. Thanks for posting!
Thanks so much for this really supportive comment. This comment section has been interesting. Its been full of very supportive people, and then also people that hate that i made edits. Its been crazy.
@@DrumlionMusic From what I've heard, the feedback is just like what you described. It's a tough call. I always think that trying to please the picky people is a losing game. I appreciate your musical analysis, but perhaps that is because I am also a musician. I'm not sure about this. I say just do the style that brings you the most joy. That joy you feel carries right into the vibe of your video! Best wishes for you! I think you will do very well with these videos.
It’s very refreshing to hear a breakdown of an amazing song, from such an intellectual/intelligent viewpoint. Your efforts and experience are very much appreciated. Thank you, sir. May God please bless you and your efforts.
The reason why people watch reaction videos is not for your insights, it is to live vicariously through you. Listening with someone who has never heard the song, and get to experience that first amazing reaction with you. I’ve seen this video a hundred times through different reaction videos, and the joy is listening to the whole song with a person who’s mind is being blown.
Hey man, love the channel. Instant sub from me. You made an incredible insight around 9:00 about this track being an experience, about how rhythmic complexity can be used to overwhelm our inclination to count the bars, and helps us enjoy it purely for how it makes us feel.
i always hear that danny is the center of tool... and while i more or less can undersand where people come from when they say that i also take into consideration how unbelievably talented adam and justin are. their unique and unbelievable talents bring out the best in danny. then you have maynard that comes in and makes the phenomenal musicianship of his partners seem even more surrreal.
Hey. I've never did a "comment" on Any video on youtoob. But couldnt help now. You're awesome man. Ive seen this vid on Mr. Carey a thousnd times. Youre the first I assume is a pro. Yours truly, causul listerner. From Oregon and stoney
Im so glad you go something out of this. I don't always get things right but i try to give it my best shot. Most importantly I listen to others that comment that may know more than me about music and i openly admit that I am willing to learn from them. Everyday is a school day!
I've been a tool fan for 20 years, and I've seen them live multiple times... I really appreciate your insight and perspective. First time watcher, and I'm subscribing. Glad to see the appreciation for an incredible experience
Thanks so much! Im glad you enjoyed the video. And the STP masks are really high quality if you ever consider getting one for yourself. I think Alex just released a new version with blood splatter on ivory.
@@DrumlionMusic got my boy one before this Russia/Ukraine bs broke out. Actually took him to see them in Dallas on 11/8 and took him in the mosh pit...what an introduction to a mosh pit.
I saw Meshuggah open for Tool in 2002 in Mississippi. Haake came out for a two-drummer set for Disposition/Reflection. Haake would use a stand up set of toms and a couple other things on stage, i don't remember. Great stuff thanks for vid 👍
Thanks for the insightful reaction, which we watch for your thoughts so no worries about “interrupting.” Danny really started displaying his chops on the Ænima album, so you might take a listen to any of those-Jimmy and Third Eye being two of my faves. Subscribed. Now to see what you had to say re Tomas Haake and Meshuggah!
I really appreciate this more than you know... I may not get everything right, but I try my best to offer what insight I can, and be as authentic as possible. I also have no problems with asking other people for help when trying to figure out something. I enjoy learning from all of you as well.
20 min doesn’t seem so long when listening to reactions to this song. It’s so good, this has to be my 15th listen to reactions to this song and I still want more.
No way I loved the way you broke it down I'm no musician but the way you explained time signatures was awesome and showed your appreciation of his performance...thanks
I really appreciate this more than you know... I may not get everything right, but I try my best to offer what insight I can, and be as authentic as possible. I also have no problems with asking other people for help when trying to figure out something. I enjoy learning from all of you as well.
Bro, this is one of your best reactions yet. Because you didn’t just talk about what he’s doing, technically. You talked about the feel and how he guides you through the song. Truly some of the best Danny Carey analysis I’ve heard. You’re amazing at breaking these things down. 👌
I really tried to be authentic and to share my thoughts and insights musically as well as from as soulful perspective as well. I just hate i upset so many people about the cuts.
@@DrumlionMusic I’ve been bingeing your vids all day for a reason, my man. You give a great balance of technical explanation along with things that happen to your body physically while playing these types of songs. And you give just enough analysis that ISNT technical to keep guys like me along for the whole video. There’s a lot of guys making these videos, but they often times use so much jargon and technical stuff that I get lost after a few videos. For other drummers, I’m sure it’s appreciated. But for guys like me that don’t really play drums, it’s a bit much. Love your style! Xoxo
@@DrumlionMusic Yeah, I think you have a perfect balance. Enough technical stuff to appease the nerds, but enough other stuff for others as well. And you also explain the technical stuff better than most guys. I think most guys assume only drum nerds are watching or something. Lol Anyway, I think I’m done my Drumlion binge for today. Thanks for replying to me 300 times. Lol I’ll probably watch more stuff tomorrow. Oh, one last question; do you have much content of your own original music? Or do you have links to a band you’re in now (or were previously)? So far I’ve only seen covers and reactions on your channel.
@@DizzyDez613 so im working with some guys i used to jam with on a project, but i dont know when it will be ready because their work schedules and other obligations are pretty heavy right now. I do have some more original drumming in a playlist called drumming compositions where you can see a bit more about my style of drumming over some basic guitar and bass parts. Might be something in there you like. Its the same playlist that the track i titled "disavowed" came from. Fair warning though some of the older stuff in there were some of my very first uploads and all that stuff was recorded with my phone, and i was just learning how to mix audio and whatnot.
Great reaction! You are spot on with it being 'experienced', rather than listened to. I saw them in '98 or 99', and '21 or '22, cant remember, in Aus. The tightness of the band, Maynard's voice. But it's the polyrhythmic beats from Danny, and a very loud live performance that reverberate sound-waves you feel through your ribcage that I remember most. It tickles the brain when you don't know you're being tickled. It's almost transcendent and hypnotises you into a subconscious presence. - Sounds like bullshit word-salad, I know. (unless you've been there:).
Yes I keep looking at it and I wanted to tell I got my first set at 62 I’ll be 63 in October and I’m doing my best pick up on the language but I actually understood everything you was say well not everything but a lot.. I enjoyed your show a lot ! Keep it coming
to me, it is his use of dynamics that, is the part I love the most. starting with the rimshots, then the roll going into the second verse, and possibly my favorite is at the very end. it's all just so....musical. it fits the song, it adds to it without ever taking away from it. I read a quote from the producers of 10,000 days, and that was the word they used to describe this band. they went so far as to say TOOL is the most musical band they had ever worked with.
@@DrumlionMusic I will also say the lyrics and overall vibe of the song is verrrrrrrry different than Pneuma or any other Tool song you might have heard
@@DrumlionMusic If you plan on doing a video about it the song right before it "lost keys (blame Hofmann)" leads into it and gives better context to the song
I’m lucky to have been at this exact show. He’s a beast. I’m a bass player who knows very little about drums, but I believe that’s a djembe, not a tabla. Love your reaction!
I apologize for getting the instrument wrong. Sonically that was the first instrument that came to mind. But this is why I have no problem asking for help and for further insight from the viewers because I learn just alot from you all as well.
@@DrumlionMusic wasn’t so much directed at you, but at spiderbass65 :) Between Danny’s multiple 3-zone mandala pads, that Korg, not to mention all sorts of triggers, his kit is a lot to take in. I suggest googling his kit to get more precise info about what exactly he’s using. You specifically mention the snare…which I believe is a metal shell with the snares disengaged, at least for this song.
@@MattKrogmeier thank you so much for this information. And yes i believe Googling his kit is a good idea. Ill have a more researched approach next time i react to him
RUclips recommended this video because apparently they think I like Tool. Sometimes I think RUclips knows me better than my wife! Huge Tool fan, I love to see people share the same appreciation. Great job here, I loved the analysis! It's ok to talk over the video if you have some valuable insight into the performance. If people want to find the uncut version, it's out there! Nice job, there's plenty more Tool out there to analyze if you so wish.
Thanks so much. Its exactly why in every video I do i link the original in the description. And yes RUclips and Google definitely will figure out where your tastes are lol
Excellent and unique reaction...think I have seen them all, ha. Tool composes like an orchestra. Every instrument and voice has a moving or stationary part at all times that creates a sound much larger and more complex than any quartet has any business producing. Sub'd!
Just ran across your channel tonight. My first listen was Tomas Haake - I do enjoy some Meshuggah. Next, I noticed Dan, of Ne Obliviscarus - fantastic. As soon as I finished that, you had a new video out, by a longtime favorite. Danny is amazing, and I've loved Tool ever since Aenima. For someone into drums, this is a fantastic video to check out, and there are tons more - but allow me to recommend Lateralus as Danny's best work. As to my "favorite" song by Tool, as I often say, it's whatever song I'm presently listening to.
This is so awesome that I was able to compile videos on amazing drummers that line up with your tastes. That really makes me happy to hear. I love exploring this world of drumming, because its not only educational for me as a drummer, but I also get to expand my horizons thanks to recommendations that people such as yourself teach me about. So for that I thank you, and I hope you continue to stay a part of this community!
@@DrumlionMusic Fantastic. Another drummer very much worthy of being brought into the conversation is Mario Duplantier of Gojira, The Art of Dying is just insanely good, but they also have a ton of great stuff. I got drawn into rock and metal by guitars, but I've been discovering that it's the drums that keep me here. I'll be exploring your channel quite a bit, I think. :)
3:10 - That rack he tunes at the start is the conrols for his electric "mandala" pads. Crazy things with some 250 ish programmable sounds (120 rings and 120 pressure settings?). And naturally Danny was/is part of the development team. x)
Neil peart did something similar with his time machine (RIP). Danny clearly is the perfect guy for the job to have his own custom sounds at his disposal.
@@DrumlionMusicI'm the exception.😂 Danny just plays those drums like they part of his body. He is amazing. They all are just so f'n talented & creative.
yep, never really thought of it when commuting home from work today listening to TOOL. the 10,000 days album came on and upon hearing rosetta stoned i said wait a minute! that's the same "odd time signature" beat danny carey is doing on pneuma! LOL!
@@DrumlionMusic oh that would be sweet... would love to see a deep dive into the history and evolution, or jump around from one legend to another in separate videos whatever man, either way i loved the video... keep it pushin
Really appreciate you chopping down the video I've seen this one so many times dude I found myself skipping through the drumming just to get to the commentary 😂😂
This comment is actually a huge relief for me. Normally its the other way around with people skipping my commentary! (seriously ill have to screenshot some of my channel analytics and show you what im talking about). I figured I would get mixed opinions about my decision to make short skips during some of the longer sections. I even noticed a comment that popped up(which he actually deleted) saying how i was good until i skipped a part of the song. And like i explained to someone else that commented here, RUclips is really really wierd in regards to copyright and the community guidelines so sometimes we as creators have to try different things to avoid negative implications with that AS well as the oddball algorithm. (oh and my video still got copyright claimed anyways). I never intended to "butcher" the song, but only to very briefly bypass the parts that were longer on length. However i myself watched the entire performance from start to finish.
@@DrumlionMusic yeah just skip the parts that repeat and speak your piece about the song. It's all good. LIKE ALL THE CREATORS SAY, if I want the video without commentary I can find the link in the description below 😂😂😂
Nice reaction, just found you yesterday and I love watching drummers appreciate each others' talents. I haven't read through all the comments here but one thing I've seen even other drummers misidentify is Danny's snare tone - if you listen closely you'll notice for the most part he no longer has the snare activated - that snare noise is made by rimshot. You don't see that very often because it requires a lot of power and precision to pull off consistently with the same tone. Live he's been doing it a long time, but I can't remember if it was lateralus or 10,000 days where that showed up in recording.
My favorite part about danny's style is now often he mixes up the time signature. I believe he runs like 4 different time signatures throughout this song. It really helps those drums pop while continuing to compliment, and not distract from, the rest of the instruments. Add in Maynard's vocals on top and this song is a fucking masterpiece.
Until the beginning of this year I was Tool “radio fan”. I knew all of the radio hits and absolutely loved them. Never delved deeper until Jan 22. FI came about and a friend gave me the CD. It rode around in my car for 2 years before I listened to it. FI opened the flood gate for me and I’m a junkie at this point. I can’t get enough. Parabol/Parabola, H, Jimmy are just a few that when I heard them I wondered how I walked this planet for so many years and never took the leap into Tool. I saw them in Grand Rapids, Michigan March of this year. I’m in awe of every single one of their musicianship. #toolfanforever
That's awesome! That musical discovery is such a beautiful part about our journey. The poor cd was just patiently waiting on you to take the leap for 2 years but better late than never lol.
Absolutely 100% agree. Danny does the drummer's equivalent of walking up to the hot chick in the club and slapping a 10" man hammer down on the table in front of her, gently taking her hand to help her stand, and leaving her boyfriend sitting there a shell of the man he thought himself to be. And that's just the drum intro 😁
Nice reaction dude. It's always funny comparing the reactions of musicians to this song versus non-musicians. The bits that they marvel at are completely different. I'd definitely recommend Right In Two by them, it has like a 2-3 minute section where Danny is going nuts to give the song an incredible crecendo. Plus it's just generally one of Tool's best songs anyway. Check it out.
Sounds like a plan!. Now that you mention it I might have to watch some other reactors more closely and see how we compare to them as far as the reactions. I probably cannot UNSEE the difference now that youve mentioned it lol
This experience is much like the experience you get with RUSHS' Xanadu. In my opinion, this is the best reaction video because you explain things much more precisely than others. I think this is a get example for young percussionists. Rudements, Fills, sounds...it's very educational!
Hey! Just a quick comment on you talking about the snare tone at 12:50. I can't remember if it's for the whole song, but for the majority of it Danny doesn't have the snare wires on at all. He just hits so hard that for the most part you get the crack you expect from having the wires on and cranked real tight.
PLEASE READ :It has come to my attention that people do not like the small cuts i made during the song. It was in no way me attempting to ruin anyone's experience with this video.

I may not understand some of the terminology but I still get a sense of whats actually happening! Amazing stuff!!
Danny is an octopus. So talented, along with the band.
This was absolutely incredible! What are some of your favorite songs by Tool!
Bro absolutely loved 7empest from this album. But Parabol and Jambi were always off favorites of mine. Sober and Schism are great but so over played.
@@wescarr6843 im going to give the full album a thorough listen..
Live version of Sober. The complete Undertow album.
all of them
Pneuma, Descending, Schism, Parabol/Parabola, The Pot, Vicarious, Reflection... they just have too much great music!
The first time I saw Tool play was in 1992 opening for Gwar at the Hollywood Paladium. I believe The Melvins played that night as well. I had never heard of them before that night and everyone of my friends commented on how much they liked Tool that night. I've been a fan since that night and have seen them play many times. It's been an amazing journey and the music never sounds dated or old. The songs and the story they tell are still relevant and poignant to this day. Simply amazing.
love you bro. good times listening to this again alongside you
Great analysis, man! I've watched a bunch of reaction videos to this drum cam footage, and I think that yours is one of the most enjoyable. It's really fun hearing all the things that you pick up as a drummer. Thanks for posting!
Thanks so much for this really supportive comment. This comment section has been interesting. Its been full of very supportive people, and then also people that hate that i made edits. Its been crazy.
@@DrumlionMusic From what I've heard, the feedback is just like what you described. It's a tough call. I always think that trying to please the picky people is a losing game. I appreciate your musical analysis, but perhaps that is because I am also a musician. I'm not sure about this. I say just do the style that brings you the most joy. That joy you feel carries right into the vibe of your video! Best wishes for you! I think you will do very well with these videos.
It’s very refreshing to hear a breakdown of an amazing song, from such an intellectual/intelligent viewpoint. Your efforts and experience are very much appreciated. Thank you, sir. May God please bless you and your efforts.
Good reaction 🤣. The octopus is supernatural! 👽🖖✌
Awesome Job!!!! Thanks for your great insight!!!
echoing others, literally have watched 20+ reactions to this exact video and this one is my favorite by far. ez sub
This means a ton to me! Thank you so much!
Loved between 4:45 & 5:05 you were like "Oh wait... what?"
Great reaction! 😎
Their entire discography is magical, you can't pick a bad one in my opinion. Great reaction btw, really enjoyed your take on it!
Thanks so much for this!
Truly enjoyed your drummer insight to this! Bravo Zulu!
The reason why people watch reaction videos is not for your insights, it is to live vicariously through you. Listening with someone who has never heard the song, and get to experience that first amazing reaction with you. I’ve seen this video a hundred times through different reaction videos, and the joy is listening to the whole song with a person who’s mind is being blown.
Good job on reacting and analyzing. Will watch more, keep em coming
yo this video evokes a response fro0m EVERYONE! good stuff!
Very nice review! 18:07 I love that casual backhand Danny dishes out to that crash ^^
Haha the casual backhand yes!
Hey man, love the channel. Instant sub from me. You made an incredible insight around 9:00 about this track being an experience, about how rhythmic complexity can be used to overwhelm our inclination to count the bars, and helps us enjoy it purely for how it makes us feel.
I really grateful for your support. Im also glad this particular statement resonated with you too.
i always hear that danny is the center of tool... and while i more or less can undersand where people come from when they say that i also take into consideration how unbelievably talented adam and justin are. their unique and unbelievable talents bring out the best in danny. then you have maynard that comes in and makes the phenomenal musicianship of his partners seem even more surrreal.
This is PRECISELY what I meant in my closing thoughts regarding the amazing next level, high-level musicianship they all have.
Hey. I've never did a "comment" on Any video on youtoob. But couldnt help now. You're awesome man. Ive seen this vid on Mr. Carey a thousnd times. Youre the first I assume is a pro. Yours truly, causul listerner. From Oregon and stoney
Can't believe people are still just finding Tool. Especially experienced musicians.
Not sure how many drummer reactions I've watched to this point, but you're by far my favorite. You've gained a new subscriber and fan.
I hugely appreciate your words! Thank you so much!
thank you so much for this reaction - was hoping, but the timing worked out to make my day end great!
Im so glad you enjoyed it and didn't get annoyed by my talking points in the video lol!
I love the insight you bring to this video….keep doing what you’re doing
Thanks so much for this!
Yo bro. Nice job. Great videos. Drummers forever!
I appreciate this!!
Wow, that was an extremely comprehensive reaction! I am not a musician, but I understood everything that you said. Great job.
Im really glad you dig it!
Ambience and Atmosphere. Yessir.
I'm only 5 minutes in to this video and I already LOVE your reaction!! Trying to count....Hot darn...thisnis great!!!
Im super glad for this!
Just found your channel. Loving the content so far. Also, love the Slaughter to Prevail mask you have!
I hugely appreciate this! Thanks so much. And the mask is definitely awesome. Such high quality as well
I really liked your take on this. Cheers
Im really glad for this. I know I am not always right in some of my analysis, but I offer what I can and try to be as genuine as possible.
Good stuff man. You’re intuition and expertise on the drumming of this song and drumming in general was very informative.
Im so glad you go something out of this. I don't always get things right but i try to give it my best shot. Most importantly I listen to others that comment that may know more than me about music and i openly admit that I am willing to learn from them. Everyday is a school day!
Shocked when i saw how many subs you have.
This was a great watch, and you clearly know what you are talking about musically.
I try my best. I know I dont always get it right but at the very least I strive for authenticity.
Descending is my favorite Tool song.
I've been a tool fan for 20 years, and I've seen them live multiple times... I really appreciate your insight and perspective. First time watcher, and I'm subscribing. Glad to see the appreciation for an incredible experience
I am grateful for your support!
Dude, you nailed it. Very insightful analysis.
Im glad you liked it. I don't always get it right but i try my best. At the very least I want to be authentic.
Love the reaction. Also loving the Slaughter To Prevail mask on your kit.
Thanks so much! Im glad you enjoyed the video. And the STP masks are really high quality if you ever consider getting one for yourself. I think Alex just released a new version with blood splatter on ivory.
@@DrumlionMusic got my boy one before this Russia/Ukraine bs broke out. Actually took him to see them in Dallas on 11/8 and took him in the mosh pit...what an introduction to a mosh pit.
@@BLACKTOOTHGRIN2231 i wish i could have been there. That's super awesome
I saw Meshuggah open for Tool in 2002 in Mississippi. Haake came out for a two-drummer set for Disposition/Reflection. Haake would use a stand up set of toms and a couple other things on stage, i don't remember. Great stuff thanks for vid 👍
Thanks for the insightful reaction, which we watch for your thoughts so no worries about “interrupting.” Danny really started displaying his chops on the Ænima album, so you might take a listen to any of those-Jimmy and Third Eye being two of my faves. Subscribed. Now to see what you had to say re Tomas Haake and Meshuggah!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate your support a ton!
Funny you mentioned Meshuga . I watched them open for Tool in Oklahoma City on the Lateralus tour.
I'm not a drummer but your videos are extremely informative and watchable. Keep it up!
This really means so much to me! Thank you so much! and thank you for the really encouraging and supportive words!
@@DrumlionMusic No worries!
Such a cool song/vid. Loved your analysis.
I really appreciate this more than you know... I may not get everything right, but I try my best to offer what insight I can, and be as authentic as possible. I also have no problems with asking other people for help when trying to figure out something. I enjoy learning from all of you as well.
Liked and subbed.😀 Good stuff bro!
Thanks so much. Im truly grateful for your support!
20 min doesn’t seem so long when listening to reactions to this song. It’s so good, this has to be my 15th listen to reactions to this song and I still want more.
Ill definitely keep that in mind when i do more Tool
No way I loved the way you broke it down I'm no musician but the way you explained time signatures was awesome and showed your appreciation of his performance...thanks
Im really glad for this. Im not perfect and I dont always get it right, but I try to give as much authenticity in my insight and reactions as I can.
It's definitely out of body. That are fucking amazing
Wonderful experience of the song with such detailed explanation 👏
Thank you so much top commenter!
Great reaction, your knowledge of the drums helps us as listeners appreciate it. Thanks
I really appreciate this more than you know... I may not get everything right, but I try my best to offer what insight I can, and be as authentic as possible. I also have no problems with asking other people for help when trying to figure out something. I enjoy learning from all of you as well.
Great reaction thank you for the knowledge
Thank you so much!
Bro, this is one of your best reactions yet. Because you didn’t just talk about what he’s doing, technically. You talked about the feel and how he guides you through the song. Truly some of the best Danny Carey analysis I’ve heard. You’re amazing at breaking these things down. 👌
I really tried to be authentic and to share my thoughts and insights musically as well as from as soulful perspective as well. I just hate i upset so many people about the cuts.
@@DrumlionMusic I’ve been bingeing your vids all day for a reason, my man. You give a great balance of technical explanation along with things that happen to your body physically while playing these types of songs. And you give just enough analysis that ISNT technical to keep guys like me along for the whole video.
There’s a lot of guys making these videos, but they often times use so much jargon and technical stuff that I get lost after a few videos. For other drummers, I’m sure it’s appreciated. But for guys like me that don’t really play drums, it’s a bit much.
Love your style! Xoxo
@@DizzyDez613 im really glad to hear this. Makes me feel like at least doing a couple things right lol
@@DrumlionMusic Yeah, I think you have a perfect balance. Enough technical stuff to appease the nerds, but enough other stuff for others as well. And you also explain the technical stuff better than most guys. I think most guys assume only drum nerds are watching or something. Lol
Anyway, I think I’m done my Drumlion binge for today. Thanks for replying to me 300 times. Lol I’ll probably watch more stuff tomorrow.
Oh, one last question; do you have much content of your own original music? Or do you have links to a band you’re in now (or were previously)? So far I’ve only seen covers and reactions on your channel.
@@DizzyDez613 so im working with some guys i used to jam with on a project, but i dont know when it will be ready because their work schedules and other obligations are pretty heavy right now. I do have some more original drumming in a playlist called drumming compositions where you can see a bit more about my style of drumming over some basic guitar and bass parts. Might be something in there you like. Its the same playlist that the track i titled "disavowed" came from. Fair warning though some of the older stuff in there were some of my very first uploads and all that stuff was recorded with my phone, and i was just learning how to mix audio and whatnot.
Enjoyed this reaction. Great work.
Thanks so much! Im really glad for this
Great reaction! You are spot on with it being 'experienced', rather than listened to. I saw them in '98 or 99', and '21 or '22, cant remember, in Aus. The tightness of the band, Maynard's voice. But it's the polyrhythmic beats from Danny, and a very loud live performance that reverberate sound-waves you feel through your ribcage that I remember most. It tickles the brain when you don't know you're being tickled. It's almost transcendent and hypnotises you into a subconscious presence. - Sounds like bullshit word-salad, I know. (unless you've been there:).
The polyrhythms embody the divine.
haha I like how you put this
Yes I keep looking at it and I wanted to tell I got my first set at 62 I’ll be 63 in October and I’m doing my best pick up on the language but I actually understood everything you was say well not everything but a lot.. I enjoyed your show a lot ! Keep it coming
You're good bro. Excellent video. Understand your frustration.
Thank you for being supportive of me. I really appreciate this
you are the first reviewer to know the sound of tabla
to me, it is his use of dynamics that, is the part I love the most. starting with the rimshots, then the roll going into the second verse, and possibly my favorite is at the very end. it's all just so....musical. it fits the song, it adds to it without ever taking away from it. I read a quote from the producers of 10,000 days, and that was the word they used to describe this band. they went so far as to say TOOL is the most musical band they had ever worked with.
This is definitely interesting. Tool really has established themselves as absolute powerhouses!
Loved the commentary bud 👍🏻
I appreciate this
Love me some Tool bro, such a great band
Facts
He is working every side of his brain. I've watched this 10 times. I'm not a musician at all. This shyte blows me away. Danny rocks this shyte.
The drumming in Rosetta Stoned is probably Danny's most difficult and mesmerizing drum performance
I will be checking it out!
@@DrumlionMusic I will also say the lyrics and overall vibe of the song is verrrrrrrry different than Pneuma or any other Tool song you might have heard
@@DrumlionMusic If you plan on doing a video about it the song right before it "lost keys (blame Hofmann)" leads into it and gives better context to the song
Danny, himself, said The Grudge is the hardest Tool song for him to play because he has to play so intensely and so aggressively for so long.
I’m lucky to have been at this exact show. He’s a beast. I’m a bass player who knows very little about drums, but I believe that’s a djembe, not a tabla. Love your reaction!
What he's referring to as a tabla is a Korg wave drum.
I apologize for getting the instrument wrong. Sonically that was the first instrument that came to mind. But this is why I have no problem asking for help and for further insight from the viewers because I learn just alot from you all as well.
Thank you for this information. Its why I enjoy learning from the viewers as well.
@@DrumlionMusic wasn’t so much directed at you, but at spiderbass65 :) Between Danny’s multiple 3-zone mandala pads, that Korg, not to mention all sorts of triggers, his kit is a lot to take in. I suggest googling his kit to get more precise info about what exactly he’s using. You specifically mention the snare…which I believe is a metal shell with the snares disengaged, at least for this song.
@@MattKrogmeier thank you so much for this information. And yes i believe Googling his kit is a good idea. Ill have a more researched approach next time i react to him
RUclips recommended this video because apparently they think I like Tool. Sometimes I think RUclips knows me better than my wife! Huge Tool fan, I love to see people share the same appreciation. Great job here, I loved the analysis! It's ok to talk over the video if you have some valuable insight into the performance. If people want to find the uncut version, it's out there! Nice job, there's plenty more Tool out there to analyze if you so wish.
Thanks so much. Its exactly why in every video I do i link the original in the description. And yes RUclips and Google definitely will figure out where your tastes are lol
Excellent and unique reaction...think I have seen them all, ha.
Tool composes like an orchestra. Every instrument and voice has a moving or stationary part at all times that creates a sound much larger and more complex than any quartet has any business producing.
Sub'd!
Great information! And thanks so much!
Saw them in New Orleans early this year and Danny is POWERFUL definitely a thing to behold
Thats so awesome you got to experience that!
Just ran across your channel tonight. My first listen was Tomas Haake - I do enjoy some Meshuggah. Next, I noticed Dan, of Ne Obliviscarus - fantastic. As soon as I finished that, you had a new video out, by a longtime favorite. Danny is amazing, and I've loved Tool ever since Aenima. For someone into drums, this is a fantastic video to check out, and there are tons more - but allow me to recommend Lateralus as Danny's best work. As to my "favorite" song by Tool, as I often say, it's whatever song I'm presently listening to.
This is so awesome that I was able to compile videos on amazing drummers that line up with your tastes. That really makes me happy to hear. I love exploring this world of drumming, because its not only educational for me as a drummer, but I also get to expand my horizons thanks to recommendations that people such as yourself teach me about. So for that I thank you, and I hope you continue to stay a part of this community!
@@DrumlionMusic Fantastic. Another drummer very much worthy of being brought into the conversation is Mario Duplantier of Gojira, The Art of Dying is just insanely good, but they also have a ton of great stuff.
I got drawn into rock and metal by guitars, but I've been discovering that it's the drums that keep me here. I'll be exploring your channel quite a bit, I think. :)
3:10 - That rack he tunes at the start is the conrols for his electric "mandala" pads. Crazy things with some 250 ish programmable sounds (120 rings and 120 pressure settings?).
And naturally Danny was/is part of the development team. x)
Neil peart did something similar with his time machine (RIP). Danny clearly is the perfect guy for the job to have his own custom sounds at his disposal.
Nice job sir.
TOOL IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great réaction really great ! And im a guitarist 😉 but we re all one! 😉🤘🏻🎸
It takes a drummer to properly headbob to this.
LMAO
@@DrumlionMusicI'm the exception.😂 Danny just plays those drums like they part of his body. He is amazing. They all are just so f'n talented & creative.
Lol they are ALL. ..I blame the edible. 😁
danny has the best beats of any drummer ever.
"Forty Six and 2", "Rosetta Stoned" and "Ticks and Leaches" are great examples of Danny being... Well... Danny
yep, never really thought of it when commuting home from work today listening to TOOL. the 10,000 days album came on and upon hearing rosetta stoned i said wait a minute! that's the same "odd time signature" beat danny carey is doing on pneuma! LOL!
I love you and will follow!
i truly appreciate you for this
this was cool... reminds me of that rush video, yyz? you should do that one next for some more great drumming
Neil Peart is an absolute legend. Im trying to think of something for him and other drumming architects that paved the way
@@DrumlionMusic oh that would be sweet... would love to see a deep dive into the history and evolution, or jump around from one legend to another in separate videos
whatever man, either way i loved the video... keep it pushin
Really appreciate you chopping down the video I've seen this one so many times dude I found myself skipping through the drumming just to get to the commentary 😂😂
This comment is actually a huge relief for me. Normally its the other way around with people skipping my commentary! (seriously ill have to screenshot some of my channel analytics and show you what im talking about). I figured I would get mixed opinions about my decision to make short skips during some of the longer sections. I even noticed a comment that popped up(which he actually deleted) saying how i was good until i skipped a part of the song. And like i explained to someone else that commented here, RUclips is really really wierd in regards to copyright and the community guidelines so sometimes we as creators have to try different things to avoid negative implications with that AS well as the oddball algorithm. (oh and my video still got copyright claimed anyways). I never intended to "butcher" the song, but only to very briefly bypass the parts that were longer on length. However i myself watched the entire performance from start to finish.
@@DrumlionMusic yeah just skip the parts that repeat and speak your piece about the song. It's all good. LIKE ALL THE CREATORS SAY, if I want the video without commentary I can find the link in the description below 😂😂😂
Danny is an alien. So good.
In 1998 Danny had his Tabla teacher perform opening for Tool. It was a tabla duet spectacle.
LOL you mentioned Danny hitting the gym and for years a friend of mine told me he’d see Danny at the ymca here in los angeles.
That sounds like a thing of beauty
Holy shit. Thats so awesome
Nice reaction, just found you yesterday and I love watching drummers appreciate each others' talents.
I haven't read through all the comments here but one thing I've seen even other drummers misidentify is Danny's snare tone - if you listen closely you'll notice for the most part he no longer has the snare activated - that snare noise is made by rimshot. You don't see that very often because it requires a lot of power and precision to pull off consistently with the same tone. Live he's been doing it a long time, but I can't remember if it was lateralus or 10,000 days where that showed up in recording.
Thanks for the information! I thought they were just tight but being completely off makes sense!
Great insight 🍻 knowledge 🍻
Thank you so much. I appreciate this
My favorite part about danny's style is now often he mixes up the time signature. I believe he runs like 4 different time signatures throughout this song. It really helps those drums pop while continuing to compliment, and not distract from, the rest of the instruments. Add in Maynard's vocals on top and this song is a fucking masterpiece.
Until the beginning of this year I was Tool “radio fan”. I knew all of the radio hits and absolutely loved them. Never delved deeper until Jan 22.
FI came about and a friend gave me the CD. It rode around in my car for 2 years before I listened to it. FI opened the flood gate for me and I’m a junkie at this point. I can’t get enough. Parabol/Parabola, H, Jimmy are just a few that when I heard them I wondered how I walked this planet for so many years and never took the leap into Tool.
I saw them in Grand Rapids, Michigan March of this year. I’m in awe of every single one of their musicianship. #toolfanforever
That's awesome! That musical discovery is such a beautiful part about our journey. The poor cd was just patiently waiting on you to take the leap for 2 years but better late than never lol.
Same here.
Ticks and Leaches might be their most Drum heavy tracks. One of my favorites.
Definitely noted!
Absolutely 100% agree. Danny does the drummer's equivalent of walking up to the hot chick in the club and slapping a 10" man hammer down on the table in front of her, gently taking her hand to help her stand, and leaving her boyfriend sitting there a shell of the man he thought himself to be. And that's just the drum intro 😁
Nice reaction dude. It's always funny comparing the reactions of musicians to this song versus non-musicians. The bits that they marvel at are completely different.
I'd definitely recommend Right In Two by them, it has like a 2-3 minute section where Danny is going nuts to give the song an incredible crecendo. Plus it's just generally one of Tool's best songs anyway. Check it out.
Sounds like a plan!. Now that you mention it I might have to watch some other reactors more closely and see how we compare to them as far as the reactions. I probably cannot UNSEE the difference now that youve mentioned it lol
This experience is much like the experience you get with RUSHS' Xanadu. In my opinion, this is the best reaction video because you explain things much more precisely than others.
I think this is a get example for young percussionists. Rudements, Fills, sounds...it's very educational!
You have no idea how much this means for you to say this. Thank you so much
Hey! Just a quick comment on you talking about the snare tone at 12:50. I can't remember if it's for the whole song, but for the majority of it Danny doesn't have the snare wires on at all. He just hits so hard that for the most part you get the crack you expect from having the wires on and cranked real tight.
Lol well Ill be damned....Thanks for the insight on this!
Oh wow, as soon as i saw the video i was like, Cool he doing iron maiden and Nicko Mcbrain! looked so much alike. :D
Haha yeah I can see that
