I started playing the drums because of Danny...................I also quit because of him too
lol
Greatest comment EVER!!! 🤣
Mr Originality
C'mon.... you could be that good when you're 59 too.
Great comment.
As a drummer who played for many years. Danny is just a master at rudiments and time signature. More importantly, he's a very patient drummer. He knows how to tell a story through his playing (if that makes sense). He plays perfectly right when it is necessary.
He's thinking, "Should I go ahead and open a rip in space time, or wait? Bah, I'll wait till next song."
"A Wizard Is Never Late, Nor Is He Early. He Arrives Precisely When He Means To." - Gandalf talking about how Danny Carey plays the drums, probably.
Lol, most perfect comment on Danny I've ever read.
He plays a storm, a stampede, crashing waves. Next we open a worm hole, but not in this song.
No probably to it.
Great comment, spot on!
No one can answer what hes thinking , cause no one on the planet is as good as him... greatest drummer of all time.
Yesss!
GOAT you are correct. In my opinion he took that position after Fear Inoculum. 30 years in the industry and still as relevant if not more so.
He’s dancing.
He’s great but he’s nowhere near Peart’s level.
Jeez, hyperbole much? I’m guessing this comment wasn’t made by an actual drummer. Danny is certainly an incredible drummer in the rock world, and one of my all-time favorite players. I think people get overly excited and use hyperbole like “greatest drummer of all time” and “no one on the planet is as good as him” when what they really mean is “he is my favorite” because the “best ever” cannot really be quantified. Maybe I’m wrong in this case, but people who make statements like that usually aren’t deeply familiar with music outside of a particular genre, era, and culture. I’m also a big Rush fan and have heard other fans of that band making similar proclamations about Neil Peart. There are so many amazing drummers that came before Carey, Peart etc and so many amazing drummers outside of the rock world that make these cringey hyperbolic statements. And a LOT of trained musicians, not just drummers, can answer what he’s thinking. Probably not exactly, but we all have our blueprints, landmarks, cues, and other methods of knowing where you are in a complex piece of music while being able to stay loose and in the moment so that you can play with soul and not just going through the motions. It’s not witchcraft, it’s years of education, training, sacrifice, and complete dedication to a craft.
Danny Carey is a human octopus lol. He has 8 electronic Mandala Pads (the first time you asked what the sound was. ) then he turned and switched to a Korg Wave drum and thats what made the Indian style sound. His playing is amazing and its incredible that he can play four different rhythms and time signatures at the same time. Also for a guy who's 6'5" and nearly 60 he is by far the best drummer alive IMO
I leaned in and looked and said ‘duh!’ About the electronic pads after looking closer 😂. Also! Did not realize he is that tall! Wow.
Agreed, best drummer alive!
Seriously, check out _Chocolate Chip Trip_ which is Danny’s master class.
@@Shake69ification it’s wonderful as well, the whole album is amazing tbh.
He’s not thinking. It’s like being lost in meditation.
19:07 “You’re such a beast you little smiler”… I love it. Absolutely died laughing.
Maynard actually writes vocals after all the instrumental parts are finished, so all of the accents were actually Maynard's decision 🤯. Great reaction!
Exactly what I was about to say.
Come on now, don't you think Danny changes his drumming after seeing what Maynard does?
@@spoitras it's very possible, I'm just going off of Maynard saying he waits until the instruments are finished writing. Just depends on what Maynard means by "finished"; and what, if anything, the band tweaks after.
@@spoitras Maynard doesn't even hear the songs until the music is recorded. He talks about it in many interviews.
Well if the instrumental parts are finished all the accents should be already there. Am I missing something?
Absolute transcendent master.
I've loved Tool since Sober. I'm a music lover, but I'm not a musician. My young son has started taking drum lessons, and I have watched many reviews of this video. My mind has been blown anew with almost every review. Each notices a different aspect that I never knew, and reveals a new level or skill or technique that Danny is either equal to a legendary master or unsurpassed in his own right. I am nearly brought to tears with each listen/watch.
I find it mind-boggling and profoundly inspiring to witness the heights of achievement possible with practice, training, experience, talent, and a lifetime of dedication to the pursuit of the perfection of one's craft.
This degree of mastery is, as near as I can tell, equivalent to the Mona Lisa, or the Sistine Chapel. Notre Dame, Beethoven's 5th, Hamlet. These are timeless masterpieces. Treasures and relics representing the expression of beauty in a language that transcends words. Danny's work seems to me to be on par with such masters.
No, I'm not on drugs. It's that damn good.
Thank you for your work. Very good video.
This song is so incredible, nothing compares. The people that attempt to react this masterpiece is hilarious. I'm nearly 40 and I'm so humble to have been alive during this band.
Well said mate. I must have watched this piece 30 times and there are still parts of it that I watch and nearly have tears. It’s almost like he wasn’t given the job of drumming, or writing a song. He was told to write and play a piece of music that would thunder so loud that people in the afterlife would hear it and there would be lighting and rain there. They would look up and yell and smile and cheer.
"drummers drumming like Danny Carey, where is your brain?"
Been a drummer for 20 years, Metal, Jazz, Rock, you name it, and when I drum like Danny, I dont, and my brain ends up on the floor, my tongue hanging out drooling, trying to find the meaning of life again... Thats what happens when I try to drum like Danny.. He is a MASTER at his craft, Im no were near him and never will be.
I love watching professionals be in awe of this. I'm in awe when he hits that symbol thing twice.
favorite part. And she is the ONLY reaction video that commented on it. great catch.
I also noticed the double cymbal hit since it’s not in the Studio version. But it’s perfectly placed. And the fact that no one else caught but she did shows just how unique her perspective is. But she stopped it when he did the power cymbal hit toward the end (my favorite part)!
His set up is based upon principles of Sacred Geometry and the flow of human energy. Everything aligns from the center and moves outward. Symmetry and Balance that's harmonious with the Universal Conciousness. Therefore he's tuned in from his center. Plus, he mention in past interviews, the high hat allows him to strike the snare harder compared having his right arm crossed over.
He is truly a polyrhythmic, odd-time signature master.
He is in the Polyrhythm zone, only he knows what on his mind. Triplets flow like water.
His muscle memory is incredible. Practice makes perfect. He rests his left hand on his leg, they say not to, but he is so relaxed it doesn't matter.
Most drum teachers would have a coronary seeing someone resting their left arm on their leg, but I say f*** em because there’s always a right way that doesn’t have to conform to standard, it’s what you feel comfortable with, and let’s face it, Danny doesn’t conform to standard practice, he has a hi hat in the middle of his kit, does it matter in his case?! Does it heck. I’ve no time for the people who say you must do it this way, rules are for fools, lol.
His high hat (and to a degree his bass drum) is keeping time so they are just automatic. The pattern started with Swiss triplets (RRL) which is a rudiment that’s probably been drilled in his brain for 30 years. It morphs into what, I think, is RRLL. What makes it so complicated is the pattern continues to build. So the sticking techniques aren’t complicated, it’s the tom pattern between the hands that makes it so complex. Especially when he decides to throw a subtle fill in to transition between parts of the guitar solo.
Unknown to most people, Danny Carrey actually has a brain in each limb.
As his name "The Octopus" suggests.
That explains it.
Just imagine Danny's core strength. Sitting upright moving both arms and legs simultaneously without any back support for that length of time takes some serious conditioning.
Good point!
You don't feel pain or fatigue until it's all over. You become the drum set. You become the music. I used to break down my kit after a gig at 3 in the morning and struggle to stay awake. The entire time I played the 4 hour gig there was zero realization of fatigue.
Never met a guy that tall that didn’t have a bad back. He HAS to sit properly or pay !!!
@@Chris_Bro_aka_MR_PLAT1NEM when the crash hits you..its exhausting
@@lrwiersum I’m 6foot 6in and I have a bad back and I’m not even a drummer lol.
Finally someone who recognize the difficulty of that beat... Thank you
Thank you SO much for doing this video. As a vocalist that is enamored with drummers' talents I appreciate that you appreciate this man's genius! May we ALL rock this hard at 59.
Maynard is singing along to Danny, not the other way around. 😆
Edit: I just had to add, watching you was the best reaction to this yet.
I could see it in your eyes, eyes full of wonder.
His high hat is more centrally placed so that he doesn’t have to cross his sticks over one another. Genius I think
Of all the reactions I've seen of this, this has to be my favourite.
Your attentiveness to it all is so nice to watch
ikr?!? how does this reaction video not have 100,000 views?!?
Cuz nobody knows who I am 😂💓💓
This is may favorite reaction to this and I've watched them all.
@@petek852 she cute too. Makes it easy to watch.
I usually hate it when someone stops the video in the middle of an epic groove, but I enjoyed your comments.
Thank you, I am the worst at pausing on a whim 🤣
He’s thinking I can do this ALL day!
New here, hello... As a drummer years ago, I can let you in on a little secret about drummers. Danny is relaxed listening to the music while the rest of his body is working very very hard.
The rest of us are trying to play drums, Danny simply plays them... He's amazing.
Great reaction, your new pal BigBadBubbaBurns.
P.S. Interviews I've heard him say he didn't like crossing his sticks, so he moved the Hi-Hat.
Danny Carey's drumming is like nobody else's, other drummers have tried to emulate his style and have failed, just like with john bonham. My favorite 2 drummers of all time. Drum gods. Really happy you enjoyed a master at work. 🤘😱
Watch his eyes, he's looking upwards... been doing it for so long it's just muscle memory. Legend!
Danny Carey is a one man drum line!! I like how he did all of that and puts his sticks of that AND fixes his hair.... MASTER
I'm not a drummer but watching Danny play is awesome because he just flows like water over his kit. It is effortless and truly artwork to his playing.
He's a drum God, we're all in awe of him and his drumming skills.
Danny is a product of many great drummers before him. You can hear little accents of a multitude of drummers. But what he’s done is taken all that and made something that I don’t think any other drummer can emulate. His precision is on point....his focus and his ability to draw you in and be mesmerized is amazing. And similar to Rush and Neil Peart (RIP), Tool wouldn’t be what they are without Danny. Very few bands have succeeded in putting out a solid full sound with just a guitar, bass and drums. Again...reminds me of Rush. I don’t like saying greatest drummer of all time but I think right here right now, he’s at the top.
I love watching people seeing this for the first time. Any Tool performance,seeing it for the first time is a experience in itself. This is a Masterclass on drumming.
“ Tooliest Tool fill of all time” 🤣🤣🤣
There are a literal encyclopedia of those Toolie Tool fills! ❤️
Have you heard _Chocolate Chip Trip_ yet?
Somebody that's heard Pneuma that hasn't also heard CCT??? 😂😂😂😂😂
greatest tool reaction quote of all time.
i was about to comment the same thing XD
You were very right about maynard watching danny for when to come in. During the "off years" between 10k days and Fear Innoculum when they would play a couple shows live a year and maynard wasnt completely in a tool mindset, hed 100% watch danny to help know where hes at in yhe songs. Danny is the MVP of the band for sure!
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."
He is 58 yrs old here ...let that sink in...master...
Danny Carey is a master of percussion, his timing is that of a Swiss watch. Not to mention the ridiculous time signatures, dynamics (with all the ghost notes) and unique voice that Danny Carey is able to bring out of his drums, he is simply a superb instrumentalist. Its also amazing is that he does not out shine the other members of the band, as are all masters of their instruments.
TOOL is an organism of 4 parts. They are flawless live, always !! Masters, they are masters.
15:38 his right hand. This is where the changes are occurring. The other 3 limbs are set in time.
The talent it takes to hold rhythm to that... i cant even bob my head to it right lol
I've watched lots of different reactions to this tool video and I found yours insightful.
He explained the reason for moving his hi hat more to the center and not on the left so much is because he had to make room for all his drum pads. He said it just wasn't physically possible to have his hi hat like you normally see on most set ups. On a side note, I am drummer myself and am always in awe listening and even better, watching him play. Also, great video. You analyzed everything really well.
@ Missy You asked "Like just that choice, why there?" all the reactions I've watched on this and your the first to even notice that. After his main solo and he's sitting in the dark we can hear the crowd erupt in appreciation for what Danny just gave them and I believe those two very strong and distinct hits were a THANK! YOU! back to the crowd. Peace/JT
He does it during every break. First with the Bass drum, then the cymbals. He is letting the band know that he is ready to go.
Watch The Grudge drum cam video.... I think Danny's mind actually relaxes in the polyrhythms, because he's practiced it so many times it's automatic. I think he just listens for the milestones where the different meters line up or don't and lets each appendage do its thing while keeping the foundation perfectly steady for the other 3.
As an aside, I think people underrate Maynard's skills: He definitely knows when to come in. Their recording process is quite different than other bands, though. According to his biography and interviews with the producers, instrumentals are completely laid down before Maynard ever really hears them, so the coordinated accents between the vocals and the drums are a result of Maynard's artistry, not Danny's. The end result is just excellent ensemble chemistry at work with everyone doing their part and adjusting when necessary. They don't use a click, they don't have pre-recorded tracks, they're just perfectly well rehearsed. If you watch carefully in the middle section with the steady high-hat, Danny loses the groove in his foot for just a second (while somehow keeping it in his hands...)and then tunes into the guitar and fixes it.
Danny is so mathematically inclined, he’s paying attention to how all the patterns are lining up ...
He sets his kit up so he never has to cross his arms at any time
This may be my favourite reaction to this! Well done, genuine and knowledgeable, loved it!
Loved your reaction!! I’ve noticed that suddenly everyone is doing Tool reaction videos (for good reason) and some are a bit over the top, but I really enjoyed your unique perspective. Would love to see you do reactions to “Descending”, “Right in Two” and “Parabol/Parabola”.
I’m pretty sure Maynard hangs out at the back of the stage solely to gaze upon Danny’s glorious fills exclusively
Re: Dannys state of mind in the piece. A good friend of mine, who is a great drummer, told me that you need to be in a “flow state” to be able to drum like Danny does. The moment you try to “think” things go sour, it just has to come from the soul. Guess thats makes the difference between a great musician, and an incredibly talented one.
Yup, 100% flow state to be able to do anything with this level of mastery
THE HI HAT OF TOOL WAS ALWAYS RELATED TO THE VOCALS.
You're not wrong....
Keep up the great work!!!
That snare sound...ohhhh love it....difference between a ordinary drummer and a extra ordinary drummer is rudiments
Danny’s left hand is one of the greatest drummers on the planet.
Maynard is actually the one who chooses to land his vocal accents onto Danny's drumming because Maynard is the last one to make his contributions to the music. Everything is written musically first and then Maynard layers onto that his lyrics and his vocal melodies. Everything that Maynard writes is written specifically for the music composition that is presented to him by the rest of the band. This is why the lyrics, the vocal melodies, and the music itself all have this rather profoundly intense symbiosis going on between band member's individual parts.
Danny Carey deserved this song. After all he has done for TOOL, he needed a song of his own. Not that this song doesn't represent TOOL's fantastic music making as a whole, but Danny is the prize in this song clearly.
loved this reaction! you noticed and commented on so many of the things i love about this performance and song, and your enthusiasm was infectious.
I love your reaction video! You are spot on about tension and execution. Great job! I would watch your drum review vids anytime.
I guess he seperated his brain into 4 part. It is just amazing
He sits like a King and plays like a Magician.
I've been the BIGGEST fan of danny carey for a year now. he is my ultimate inspiration. been drumming for 6 years and to answer your question to where my brain is at when i can play rhythms like he does?
It isn't.
i have to turn my brain off and just focus. completely. drumming with every single limb operating independently takes extreme focus and discipline to pull off.
Dude is almost 60 years old.
Fantastic reaction!
You really want to weep, listen to how he controls not just polyrhythm, but also VOLUME. He is a god.
Watched earlier but watching it again since you took the time out to actually fix it and re upload. Very cool of you👍
Thank you for doing that! That pained my soul to pull a video that had 2400 views in 16 hours but I’m glad the sync is better now!
Great review! It’s always interesting to get a take from someone who is not a drummer.
There are drummers that replicate Danny's playing,only Danny is Danny. The most amazing thing I heard about Danny is he practices paradiddles with his feet. As a drummer, paradiddles are tough enough with your hands. EVERY one of Danny's limbs are in unisom, but are each paying their own groove! He is a true master of his craft!
Danny Carey - man and drums have become one
"Where is his head?" Probably on a beach in southeast asia. I think hes meditating almost
I also doubt he thinks anything. Probably doesn't hear the base line or vocals. Just does his thing and let's it run on autopilot.
Great review. Have seen many but before I really hadn’t paid attention to the sync between Danny’s playing snd Maynard’s vocals so it was enjoyable to follow you and the song through they aspect of this video. A lot of people in here say that’s because the music is recorded first then Maynard adds the vocals. That is true but during a live performance like this who recorded the music and the vocals really doesn’t matter as much as practicing the songs live and then performing then live because unlike in a studio you don’t have dozens of takes to get it right, you get the once chance so for them to stay in sync is phenomenal. Again great review, first time watching your channel and well honestly because it was TOOL 😬
Watching Danny Carey play is a thing of beauty. The majority of the song is in 33/16!! Like...who on Earth does that??!! Well. He does and he does it with such grace as well as dynamics.
You asked what he’s thinking during the break. Good question. As a drummer, to me he looks to be paying attention more to his right hand. At first it looks like he’s ad-libbing the parts until he begins a definitive pattern. Between the tabla drum, Mandala pads and toms you see a distinct pattern of 5. Then it goes to 4, 3 and finally 2 with the snare and roto tom. His hi hat and bass drum pattern are doing more of a straight pattern during that, however at first his bass drum is synced with the bass guitar line.
I do see two minor flaws. Watch the beginning when he starts the hi hat and snare pattern. You’ll see his right hand kinda forget the count and he pauses briefly. The second flaw is in the final heavy portion. On the third fill, he always did 3 snare hits combined with cymbals. However, that last piece he begins to fill around the toms and you see his left hand do a little “WTF mate? We’re supposed to hit the snare” but his right continues the fill. It proves that like all Norse gods, Danny too...can make a mistake.
The fact that he can miss and still pick it back up again so smoothly, is another testament of why he is so great.
I know it may be a result of my simplistic brain, but I love the way he ends on those little cymbal hits.
Yeah, we needed another reaction video to this
I enjoyed your video. His use of the high hat is indeed mesmerizing.
GODLIKE
No one drums like Danny . He is special. once in a lifetime drummer. We should appreciate while we still have him. Especially since Neil Peart is gone.
OMG NEIL PEART
Great reaction👍🗣
first time in your channel what a nice nice reaction!!!!!!! loved it greetings from Mexico
No doubt... a machine, oiled, primed, and ready to rock the beat... on a moments notice.
so good!
I'm full blown TOOL FAN since 91, I honestly believe Danny Carey is a real life ALIEN, in some way, Projected by the AMAZING talent of TOOL...Hands down...
Really awesome some that you play drums. I see you are a vocal coach which is sweet. Keep making videos that allow is to be happy
Not that I'm anywhere near as good as Danny, but at that moment in the middle of the song, I can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that he is absolute, 100%, "in the zone". His muscle memory is dominating his movement, but his mind is floating above it all somewhere, almost disconnected, just feeling the patterns that he is creating and shaping the texture of the dynamic.
Danny is the best. Great reaction. Peace.
The way all four limbs can operate independently of one another is absolutely mind blowing.
18:24 - That's why Maynard is next (and behind) of Danny. You can actually see glimpses of him at 7:11 (left of the "keyboard"), 14:28 (casually walking in the background) and 17:22 (squatting left side of the screen). Adam Jones and Justin Chancellor both make small cameos in this as well. x)
great reaction
Great reaction to what should be a Hall of Fame drummer a few years from now drumming the heck out of what should have been a Grammy winning, legendary beast of a song!!! You might just be my new favorite reaction channel! 🙂 Have you figured out the time signature to this yet? I'm not a drummer but I'm a novice composer and I still can't figure it out....and I refuse to cheat and look! Haha! I know at least that those middle response head-nodder parts are 4/4! Anyway, great in-depth reaction...Subscribed! 🙂 Keep those Tool reactions coming! I suggest reacting to their song The Grudge yet if you haven't already!!! Cheers and respect from Chicago, Missy!
Just saw someone say the time signature is 33/16.....you learn something new every day! Haha! 🤷🏼♂️
9:57 yep, the placement of the hat is atypical. Also, there's a guy named Austin who has a series called Study the Greats on YT. He has an EPIC break down of the polyrhythmic section of this song (the long build up in the middle). Even has notations, plays it at half speed, then full speed. It'll shine a whole new light on it.
Your reaction after getting to the end... is to go back to the beginning. I'm a happily married man with two children, but by god, can we find a way to make this work?
You fixed it! Great job. Thanks for actually giving a damn about your content. I subbed.
Thank you for checking back! I was so mad at myself for not noticing 😂.
part of the reason you didn't notice all the accents on things before is this mix was done specifically for Vic Firth and brings the drums and symbals slightly more forward in the mix, and the high hat placement is so he never has to cross his arms over each other, or that is what i remember from an interview
That sounds logical to me. In recently listened to the album and the drums are much lower in the mix there. I think I like this mix better honestly. There first time I heard this song, I literally thought "this while song is just one big solo for him".
Ive listened to many drummers and Danny is in another dimension. evry Tool song has crazy drumming. Tool is the most complete band period. Maynards vocal range and lyrics, Justin is fire bassist Adam jones has a very unique signature. I recommend Lateralus, Ticks and leeches, Jambi Parabola.oOh and you Missy are so cute and a great happy personality!
Mr. Danny Carey is a master at his craft. I read that he has been playing drums for over 50 years. He recently turned 63. You know that a proper warm up is a must. I shall submit to YOU & your viewers that this first portion is Danny getting loose and warm. I also enjoy all the litle accent he puts in there. He really busts it out later!!! You'll know when the overhead lights start to flash. I think it is around 14 minutes or so... O.K. Missy hang on!!!! Get ready!!!!! I was wrong it was at 17 something! Thanks.
He's a master of drumkings! There is no other alike. Probebly his head is at the largest movement, ....other there is relaxing meditative state...and fun!
Like you're reaction!!! you're on point to say you are looking for the relax state. he is totaly in balance.
Just a note, Maynard told Joe Rogan he writes the lyrics after they lay the track. Thats why it sounds that way.
15:14 although I can't say I play the drums anything like Danny, I believe the big mental work was done when he was practicing it, i'm not sure how is his process, but one could go about it like: figure out the left right pattern you wanna use in the hands and play it slow > add the hi hat with one foot > add bass drum pattern with another foot > practice it and bring it up to tempo. Repeat the process if any of the patterns change. Maybe his feet are slightly on auto pilot and he is a little more conscious about the hands since the pattern /voicing on the hands change a few times and the feet stays more or less the same.
I've played drums off and on for 30 yrs. Certain things you do become "auto pilot", you don't even think about everything, and Danny has taken that to another level. I don't "count" either, just feel it, I have a feeling Danny does too.
I legit love watching people's genuine reaction watching what a complete savage Danny Carrey is
The Octypuss plays off beat... But on Beat . Magical & Hypnotized
That part around the 18:00 minute mark where he hit the small cymbal twice, was basically him telling the guitarist that he's still with him and ready to continue with the song.
His custom Mandala pads trigger electronic sounds. They have multiple zones per pad that allow him to play melodies on them if they are configured this way. The hihat is cable controlled which allows hihat to be placed anywhere he wants it.
Love those Mandala pads!
