"I know nothing about drums" then proceeds to name every drum and cymbal on Danny's kit. Lmao!
Correction....I should have said I know nothing about PLAYING drums.....my bad.
@@THEDavidHeretic you definitely know more than your average fan. Great reaction.
@@MrDuanepalmer FEELIN' YOU Duane!!! Glad you enjoyed the show.
He was speaking generally.... Not like he names brands or models or anything. Dude plays in a band, based on this video. So, it's reasonable to assume he should be able to discern between the types of cymbals or other equioment
@@Thumpdizzle thanku for clearing that up for me. 🙄
I know a metronome with a Danny Carey tattoo.
XD
What time signature:
Danny Carry: Yes
"It am what it isn't" describes it best.
I learned to nod my head to the 2-6-6-2-3-2-6-6-2-3-2-6-6 part, you know, the 33/8 part: ruclips.net/video/yk9Kj90tjqI/видео.html
what time signature?
Danny Carey: which limb?
I don't know who the hell is downvoting this video, this was a great reaction. I've probably seen 90% of the Pneuma drum cam reactions on RUclips and this is one of the best. Right up there with that guitar teacher who did the whole thing with a sleeping newborn in his arms.
FEELIN' YOU okkinen!!! It's alright there's always gonna be haters...they just don't believe that a bass player has a little knowledge about drumming....or they think I'm lying about either never seeing this before or not being a bass player. Honestly....doesn't matter to me. they can speculate all they want and hate all they want. I'm gonna focus on making new content for those of you who appreciate what I do, and leave the haters behind.
@@THEDavidHeretic Most likely few of those downthumbs are from people with sausage fingers or whom realized they have to steer car. So, never under estimate the power of sausage fingers and most certainly don't categorize em as haters.
@@THEDavidHeretic as a drummer I can confirm the bass player and the drummer have a silent relationship that people take for granted, and CHRIST is it ever important they’re side by side in a song
You can have a video full of puppies and babies and people will downvote it. It's just how RUclips is. There will be haters on everything.
People that are pissed he only gave this a 9.5... I gave the video a thumbs up but DC's performance is EASILY a 9.8+.
"This guy must have practiced this HUNDREDS of hours to program in the muscle memory in his hands and his arms so they go on automatic".... This is and has always been my honest to goodness theory on why Tool albums take so long to come out.
Agreed, that and the songwriting they have to spend months working with NASA and The Pentagons top scientists to work out the equations.
@@THEDavidHeretic HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH JC MAN HAHA
And just last summer, Danny said he was working on some new chops in quarantine. Like whaaaa? 🤯🤯🤯
Maynard once said in an interview that the reason Fear Inoculum took 13 years to complete is because Danny, Adam, and Justin are perfectionists.
Danny knocks his drum tracks out fast.. He is the definition of talent and time. Its the creative of the songs and meaning that take time. Plus them waiting because of bs contract record deal was smart- release all on spotify. 60 mil per.- because. not bad.
I've watched a hundred different reactions to this video. You're in the top 3.
Seriously??? Wow, thank you very much for high praise, I really appreciate it.
@@THEDavidHeretic same here, might be the best one.
Doesn't seem like he's in it for the money... kinda like tool...
Agreed. His breakdown of what he noticed just within the first notes proved he actually recognizes what’s happening in front of him and the skill that Danny exudes. I was impressed by what he picked up
@@MikeTaffet Not bad for a bass player, yeah?
Now that Neil Peart has died, there can be no debate... Danny Carey is our greatest living drummer.
jimmy chamberlin in my opinion
@@markr2788 Jimmy is up there as well as he is a Fantastic Jazz drummer to begin with - Not to mention what he did with the Pumpkins . I saw him live with them in 94 ( PInkPop 94 on Yutube ) & his drumming power has felt tremendously well on stage . There is a cam that filmed his performance from Behind -from the same gig . Amazing skills & precision & power .
Stewart Copeland
There is still Gavin Harrison and many others out there.
Honestly believe Carey deserves to be in the top 10, of ALL time, js
My father is a classical conductor. I made him watch the Vic Firth video and his first comment was, "Well it's not really my kind of music but he(Danny) seems very comfortable behind a massive array of instruments and his posture is relaxed while the music is crisp."
Yes, Daddy !!
My daughter and I saw Tool last Friday and Danny played with this intensity for about 2 hrs. He will be 61 in less than 2 months. Unreal. Best show ever.
In the solo section, Danny plays a pattern with his right hand, starting with 5 drums, then 4, then 3, then 2 before before the double-bass comes in. You know something is coming with the tension that collapsing pattern is building, and then it finally releases with the thunderous basses and the richest fills of the song. It's utterly brilliant, and his live playing in this recording is terrifyingly close to the studio album, including all those fills. He composed those and placed them exactly where he wanted them. A true master.
The rest of the album is equally amazing. Descending is actually my favorite track, but doesn't receive a lot of online attention. Headphones are a must.
Descending is my fav too. I just ordered a guitar and i plan to learn how to play it
Excellent point about the building tension into the breakdown. When we say this stuff "feels" seamless, stuff like this is exactly how that feeling gets started.
The last like 4-5 min of Descending is some of the most pleasing music I’ve ever listened to. It isn’t peak Tool as far as emotion at the crescendo, but when it comes to pure sound, I love that track, especially when the synths come in.
3 drum pattern playing triplets on the left
5 drum pattern playing doubles on the right
High hat locked into 4/4 in the middle
And then builds the tension up and up while reducing the number of drums in play smoothly right up to that great drop at the end
Metronome: "Yep, I learned how to do the beat from Danny"
Hah haaaaaaaaaaaaah
For someone who knows nothing about playing drums, you sure pointed out a lot of amazing techniques and described his playing quite well. Awesome reaction!
I've played with a lot of drummers over the years, so I've managed to pick up on a couple things....plus I did winter drumline my junior year in High School.
@@JohannesWOW Yup I remember the auditions, only had to do one luckily, not too many people were trying out for The Pit. It was fun, I'm glad I did it, but one semester was enough for me.
17:45 "Hey look at me, I'm Danny Carey, I'm going to play 4 different rhythms at the same time, one on each of my limbs"
Best rock drummer I've ever heard. Easily the best alive at the moment, and could've possibly been called that even when Neil Peart was alive.
Danny Carey is just something man...
Danny's left arm has its own brain.
With respect... there's no "hey look at me". with Danny Carey :-)
Pretty sure he was playing two different rhythms at the same time with his right hand alone.
he has one more limb.......
It's crazy that he can play like that for hours. What a beast. Nobody else could play in Tool and make that band what it is.
At the age of 58 no less.
Maybe you're not the most qualified to analyze drumming, but I can assure you that yours is the best reaction to this treasure of a video that I've seen (and I've watched TONS of them!), both in terms of your attitude and ability to break down a few of the patterns that Danny was playing.
You deserve WAY more views than these, that's for sure.
FEELIN' YOU Ludvik!!! Thank you for the kind words I really appreciate them.
It's not because he didn't give it a 10. He has as many subscribers as he deserves.
Drummer of 45 years here: For a bass player, you know a lot about drums. Way more than I know about bass guitars. Great reaction.
FEELIN' YOU Ray!!! I've been fortunate enough over the past 30 years to play with more drummers than I could possibly count, and I've learned a little bit from each one. If you're going to have someone/something as your ally, it's important you know a little bit about them.
It is probably the most reviewed drum track on YOU TUBE. Carey certainly is a TITAN. I've heard some experts say he makes one mistake.....I don't believe so. There is a slight DELIBERATE pause as he stops to smile at the camera. I don't see a 'mistake' anywhere else. Great reaction, dude.
Danny Carey is the best technician of all time. Period
15:35 "It's terrifying to think what he's capable of" Just wait ........ :)
Good reaction man. After watching Danny I put my drum kit for sale on Ebay LMAO.
Danny Carey is perfection.
On the crazy Tom part in the middle he is adding strokes to the existing pattern every time it goes back to 1. Ya boy is incredible. Who else can write this? There’s a few that can play it, but who else can CREATE it?
"This guy is not of this world." I couldn't agree more. What a performance!
There is probably a few roadies that curse Danny and his big ass gong. Imagine being the guys who carry that thing on and off stage only for it to be hit once every show. They're probably like "Dude, you have electronic pads. Cant you just sample the gong?"
Imagine if Lateralus, Pneuma and Descending were played in the same set then the Gong would be hit 3 times
I would fucking do it in a heartbeat, because I'd get to see Tool again and again and again. Plenty worth it! :-D
If I were Danny, I'd be carrying that thing my dang self. I'd sleep with it too.
his drum tech is one of the best paid in the industry, and worth every dime
Your reaction video has the most technical info out of the reaction videos i’ve seen. Much appreciated! So satisfying to see someone get mindblown by Tool. 😄👍🏻
One thing that blows my mind about the song, performance aside, is that he had to create the entire drum arrangement in the first place. He's not just memorizing and replaying a piece that someone else had the creative genius to come up with. He is the genius behind it from start to finish! Absolutely masterful!
You're absolutely right about always being able to be better and there's no such thing as perfection. I would bet a lot that if you went and asked Danny Carey what he thinks of this video, he could point out several things me, you, or anyone else in the world would ever know that he could do better on. Love this reaction, man.
FEELIN' YOU Bri!!! Thank you for being so forward thinking and open minded, we could really use a lot more people like you in this world.
Danny Carey is the Bruce Lee of Drumming, "Be like water my friends", Fluid as they come
Well put !!!
oh yes
You keep reacting to tool, we comeback :)
Tool is known for the drummer playing a different time signature than the guitars, with them meeting up every few measures for the ear-gasm
22:27 - That smile - Danny knew when they all knew they got it perfectly in sync.
Yes
THIS..........THIS !!!!!! is why they call him the OCTOPUS !!!!!!!! hes playing 2 different beats like its nothing at the same time -greatness !
Four different beats actually. Every limb is at a different count. But meet up eventually.
that steady hi hat in the midst of the polyrhythm madness though... There's a reason he's called The Octopus...
He: I don't know the song.
Myself: Good. Gonna be even better.
Technically, Tool is amazing. All members of the band I love this band.
I've watched a bunch of videos over the years. You will see those drummers that have an arsenal of drums surrounding them like Neil Peart that have more drums and accessories than anyone can play for any song. Danny Carrey uses every single drum and accessory in his kit for this song. That's impressive because he hasn't just got a few extra toms, cymbals and double bass drums. He's got a lot of stuff there, and that impresses me because he uses ALL of it.
Peart used ALL of it, everything. RIP the Goat and long live Danny 🤘
Honestly Danny Carey breaks the rating scale in that yes he may be able to add more embellishments or arrange it differently so that technically it may have a more by the book structure but he didn't. He played it the way he did because that's the way he wanted it to sound. He's not playing at the max of his capabilities he playing the song the way it needs to played so that it has the desired effect. Tools music is planned to perfection and anything that do that seems less than perfect is actually perfect because it was purposeful and deliberate being done to create a specific energy, very much like casting a spell (metaphorically of course). Every little nuance has a purpose and can't be done any better because it can't be done any other way. To do it differently would change the recipe for the spell and it wouldn't work.
He played a FEELING ! ! That’s as good as it gets. It fucking UNDULATED !!!
@@lrwiersum Damn straight!
@@lrwiersum Undulated. That's the PERFECT word to describe his playing. It's a wavelength groove kinda thing.
He can play diff time signatures with each hand ......He is one of the Worlds best drummers hands down. Danny Carey is a god to the percussion gods
And don't forget.....
While he's doing all of the otherworldly patterns in the instrumental bridge......he's keeping time in 4/4 on his hi-hat.....with his right foot.......🤯
Danny Carey is a slayer......🥁
Dude. This is the best Pneuma reaction out there! So much of the depth of this song goes over the heads of other channels - like they don't even have the musical vocabulary to describe what they're hearing. Really admired your deep dive into his kit, the time signature, and the patterns on each hand. I've been obsessed with this song since it came out, and you really did it justice. Awesome video.
Totally digging the reaction david. Thank you for your insights. Danny is just on his own level with drumming. It always makes me happy to see him playing and watched the original video right there countless times because of it.
8:50 ish lol I did some digging and repeated attempts of counting to "try" and confirm this haha
This is just for the main riff/verses and now my brain hurts lmao trying to solve this song's time signatures is akin to trying to solve the Diophantine Equation 🤣
Source: Reddit
According to Adam, the song's time signature is 33/16.
It can also be split(for easier counting maybe?) in two different ways
14/8 - 19/8 or
14/8 - 14/8 - 5/8

This Pneuma video is really important i feel. Your seeing someone who has perfected their Art over a lifetime hit their peak performance at a level far beyond most peoples comprehension. For me the energy summoned here by Danny's dynamic hits adding extra hits is unbelievable and Danny makes it look like a walk in the Park. Thanks for uploading this it's a great reaction and the more Tool online the better as far as i'm concerned. Hopefully they will release a tour DVD that's properly filmed some day.
I feel very good with your 9.5! Perfection is unattainable thus keeping us striving for more and taking on new musical challenges and risks.. Nice job David.. Cheers..
Great reaction video. I watched the Danny Carey video before and was absolutely mesmerized. Your right. This guy is not human. He's like....hold my beer...I got this. So much talent. Amazing!!!
Great reaction video bro...👍...I love watching these TOOL reaction videos...it's my therapy
He has the muscle memory and control of a concert pianist! Breathtaking!!!!
best review ive seen of this performance yet. thanks.
Another brilliant review, kudos David. You're a natural recognising musical patterns and structure!
It was everything i hoped for lol, you are a music theory madman!
I've watched a dozen reactions, and you are the FIRST to mention the volume of the hits. Well done!
New subscriber here, and I gotta say you’ve gotta be my new favorite reaction channel. In the short time I’ve watched your stuff, I’ve learned a number of new things from your in-depth analysis, which rarely happens with reaction vids. Excellent job!
The best rock drummer of all time. Also, he likes to do jazz. I don’t care what anyone say, the best drummer of any genre of all time.
Buddy Rich was faster, but Danny does totally rule.
@@countdebleauchamp Let's put it this way: he's worthy of comparison to Buddy Rich
@@ExileOnDaytonStreet Definitely
You must not know who Vinnie Colaiuta is .....
I don’t think he’s going for speed, ever. He’s not showy, with big bangs , he plays a composition that takes you somewhere. And this composition took my breath right out of my body.
Absolutely love that you called out how ridiculous the fills are. Nice work!
Nicely done! I was surprised you didn't talk more on how he played his high hat. Looking forward to checking out another reaction
One of the better reviews of the Pneuma drum cam video. I really enjoyed how your head exploded at 8:48. Danny does that to all of us. All of TOOL’s songs change time signatures multiple times throughout. A few change dozens of times.
Great reaction!
Thanks you for this great video!😃
Excellent reaction Bother! Great job 👍
I've seen a ton of reactions of this video and have been waiting for SOMEONE to mention the dynamics used on the rim shots. It was easily overlooked but sooo effective for the moment. For that alone, I smashed the subscribe.
Love it David, keep the vids coming my man. Love from Ireland!
Like a lot of other commenters, I've watched most of the reactions to this video on RUclips. Yours is the most technically insightful I've seen, above all the composers and music teachers. Well done and thanks for sharing.
FEELIN' YOU Josh!!! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video, hopefully you'll find other videos on the channel you will equally enjoy if not more so.
As always with Tool by the time you figure out where "one" is and start to count it out, they change it up:)
This makes me want to watch you react to Schism by Tool now, just to watch you try to count it out lol. It's a great song anyway with some very creative drum parts. Also one of the greatest bass lines known to man.
I'll need a link so I watch the correct video

Here you go!
@@M139NG Added to the que
Artists of the highest degree.
He actually does a gong solo at the beginning of the second act on this tour. Sounds terrible, but it's fucking awesome.
Mate love your insight and enthusiasm, keep it going and wish you all the best.
Really enjoyed your humble, erudite analysis. Your honest bewilderment and wowed reaction were refreshing. Very entertaining. Thank you.
It was a 10.
FEELIN' YOU Michael!!! Glad you enjoyed the show.
When you're talking about him doing separate patterns with each arm during the breakdown session, do remember that he's also got at least a 3rd pattern going, as he's got the high hat going with metronome regularity. Then there's the bass drum too... lol. Danny Carey is sometimes known as "The Octopus", and I am sure you can understand why... lol
One of the very best and accurate reviews of Pneuma by Tool, i've seen here on youtube.
Great attempt to cover sir... REALLY enjoyed this... Ty vm 💯 #WWG1
great reaction! in regards to the hihat placement, if i recall correctly, its because his kit was so big, that he experimented with it as a way to avoid crossing hands, and he liked it so much he kept it.
The first time I watched this vid it blew my mind. Hearing it discussed in such detail blew my mind again
Finally someone who appreciate dynamics in music!! I'm curious to listen to your band.
That was physically amazing coordination to play different time with each hand and kick drum at once. I have no idea how he does it. A physically gifted drummer without question.
Yes, Danny Carey is amazing drummer. I loved your reaction to this video and gave it an honest score. I as well were blown away by his ability behind a drum kit...WOW. But like many others have said, I too have watched so many reactions to the Pneuma video. And I say you have my thumbs up on your reaction. Great job David.
FEELIN' YOU Scorpion!!!
You nailed it with the comment "He's really relaxed"..Its key!!..Cheers bruv!!
Great reaction to a amazing drum performance..the best❤👍
My favourite album from the last year
Dude.
It's a 10...🤟
Gotta say, I've watched most of these Danny reaction vids.
And I absolutely loved yours Dave..
I'm going to subscribe straight away.
You seemed genuinely blown away. And rightly so.
I'm a drummer 51 years old ,started when I was 13/14 and I know that Danny Carey is one of the greatest of all time..
It's the timing...there's timing and there is Danny..
It's perfect to me.
I wouldn't even attempt to do what he's doing.
I just sit back in awe and smile..
And I kinda did with your reaction pal..
I think what I like is that a lot of reactions are kinda great but not rock/metal fans always.
And you are and understand the technical side..
So yeah great reaction my friend, really made me smile...😁🤟🤟🤟
FEELIN' YOU Antony!!! Glad you enjoyed the show, more great stuff to come.
Real good review and true to yourself, few mention the dynamics.....Danny plays jazz too! ✌️
Bro.. watching your level of frustration grow as you try to figure out whats happening here is the highlight of my drunken night.. thanks for making this so entertaining!!
FEELIN' YOU Patrick!!! Enjoy the show, enjoy the night.
Great analysis.
Nice David. The drumsticks in Danny's hands look like Hummingbird wings. ✌
David this is my first trip to your channel sir and you are in for a treat. Danny Cary is a master of his craft. That is a fact! You are in a band so I think you will get off on this video. We'll see!!!! Danny had a birthday recently, he is 63 years old. He has played the drums for around 50 of those years.
I submit to you that the first part of this fine video is just Danny warming up. Later in this video he busts loose!
My favorite part is coming up. At 21:44 or so! I think he is a one-man drum line! Very special.........
Yeah, this is the best reaction/review I have seen so far.
FEELIN' YOU Josh!!! Glad you enjoyed the show.
First actual lly informative reaction to thiis ive seen
David - Nice take. Subscribed. Props for using both syllables, btw. I like the 9.5 because it allows for finding one instance of a "better" performance and upgrading to a 9.75. An old flame once said she had never met a David she didn't like. So far, she's been right. It's getting a little weird because at my age that's a lot of Davids. Keep smiling.
Great reaction.... fun to hear your insight
FEELIN' YOU Husker!!! Glad you enjoyed the show.
Thank you! I've watched several reaction videos to this, and I believe you're the first to explicitly freak out over the part that starts around 17:40. That stretch where Danny is doing the two totally distinct patterns with each hand, while slowly building on each, is probably the most "no way!" thing I've ever seen a drummer do. I know all about muscle memory and limb independence, but this is just a whole other level.
DANNY CAREY…A TRUE MASTER…
So beautiful, TOOL makes me cry so often. Thank you TOOL. ❤️
I have listened to so many "reaction" videos that are contrived. Yours was not. You seemed to genuinely react to this video which is the way to do it. I can't get enough of this song because it works at so many levels. It's complex, it's meaningful, and it is just masterful. I really enjoyed your explanation. Cheers!
FEELIN' YOU James!!! Glad you enjoyed it, more great stuff to come.
Watching musicians try to count Dannys time is always so funny. He plays unrestricted beyond time. His hi hat is where it is so he never has to cross his arms, so obviously brilliant.
I've watched this a ton of times and I've seen them live. It never fails to amaze me.
Hundreds here lol
Great reaction man, I could see your mind being blown. Checkout his work in Descending. No drum video but the song is phenomenal
😂 I watched you and drumeo break down this song and realized that I just like drums… I have no idea what percussion is. ❤Well done
That’s insane!
Couldn't agree more 👌
I love your analysis!
FEELIN' YOU Kevin!!!
@@THEDavidHeretic I have come back here and watched you again. Man you are right on. To tell you the truth, I knew nothing about tool till I stumbled on the pneuma vid and it blew my mind. for 40 years road angel by the doobies was the best rock song I ever heard and half way into hearing this for the first time pneuma became it. I have sought out the other reactionvids as a result and your is so tasty. I have now been watching others of yours too. Good job man! I have to fess up and say that it gives me great pleasure to watch the gears grinding in trying to figure out the time. I know nothing about that stuff and I dig seeing people who do puzzle through it. I guess that is what reaction vids are supposed to be.
It's known as 33/16, hence his Carey version of a Larry Bird #33 Basketball Tee
He did in fact say it was technically 33/16, But he always wears a basketball jersey of whatever area he is in. This show was in Boston. Hence the Celtics Bird jersey.
@@prophecygg5826 just like everything else with tool it's that and something else. Yes, he always b ball jerseys. Yes, they were in Boston, but also Yes, they chose the performance of him wearing the bird jersey for the live drum version of pneuma. Hence, 33. Lol
