The beauty of Tool is everyone has a solo. The genius of Tool is that they all play them at the same time.
hahaah! perfect... haha!
This should have more likes
Genius level comment my guy. Respect
This is the most underrated comment I've ever read.
This comment wins!
I love how he started the video not realizing he was about to watch one of the best drummers of all time
yes straight up
The best living drummer, and perhaps the best ever. I thought the same thing. Danny Carey amazes me with the precision, and rhythms, with perfect placement and the perfect weight on each strike, from his wrists, arms, feet, legs, and muscle movements. Impeccable timing and control of subtlety, power and timing.
I love how he plays off tempo sometimes and still sounds AMAZING AND GREAT 👍 LIKE HE IS THE GOAT.
@@kristijenkins2986Your comment forwards us towards the annihilation of my beautiful language(grammatical dumpster fire).
front row seat next to danny at the Paramount Theater one time..pretty cool:)
Guitarist here… not a drummer, not a TOOL fan…. I have watched this video 500 times
you might just be a closeted one...
I’ve never been a huge fan either but I can watch this all day.
How could you not be a fan by now? 😁
I'm not a musician but the gene runs strong, I'm probably on 500k times watching this still mesmerized
Dude same here and I can't stop watching it, someone help me🤣🤘
DC is a master of polyrhythm. He is virtually an octopus and makes it look so relaxed and normal. A true artist.
also strange to see a guy at his height playing so well. drummers usually 6 foot at the most
Amen!
Yea its amazing how he blends his rhythms and polyrhythmics so seemlessly. Going completely counter to what the band is playing in two different counts in succession.
Dude's a rocktopus :D
Vinnie Paul was pretty good at it too
Fun fact: Tool doesn't use click tracks. Danny IS the metronome. Also he's 6'5" and passed up basketball for drumming.
I always thought Adam Jones was Danny's Click ;)
@@joechurch7 we can say it's mutual to be fair
I'm so happy Danny chose drumming. Massive influence for me, and so many others.
@@joechurch7 Yeah I think when songs like this are so complex, the drummer kinda has to follow the guitar tbh
@@haydn995 exactly 👍
The crazy thing, that I don't think the reactor realized: He wasn't just doing crazy fills and improvising a solo, and "having a little fun in that part right there."
He's playing the song as it's written. It's THAT complex. It sounds just like this on the album. Every hit it right on time.
He can get it perfect every time. Doesn't need 5 takes. Not only that, but it seems effortless to him.
Yeah, hahah, I was thinking that too, like it's not his fault, but he didn't realise that there wasn't any improvisation here, hahah.
“Professional” CZcams drummer reacts seems more appropriate.
I don't think he was implying the part was improv, but more that Danny (in regards to the part and its placement in the arrangement), was "having fun" with the motif,
because you really lock in on parts like that, and it's fun. That's what i took from it anyway.
That's the thing with messin with subdivisions, meter, timbre, motifs, polys etc...drummers that do this are awesome because they are not just "playing time".
As you said, "He's playing it AS IT'S WRITTEN".... couldn't agree more!
If I would comment a drummer from a band i would at least google that specific band, so i would know at least that danny carey is the drummer from tool and every drumpart sounds equal in the studio and at the live concerts.
@@peppone329 I clearly wasn’t talking about Danny. Where’d you get your reading skills? The toilet store?
The Synesthesia Mandala Drum is a patented electronic drum pad developed by Vince DeFranco and drummer Danny Carey from Tool. It has 128 strike position detection rings from its center to its edge, along with 127 levels of velocity sensitivity.
the other thing is a Korg Wavedrum iirc :D
I’d like to point just a few things out. The reason his hits match the lyrics so well, is their writing process. The music is written out and recorded to perfection before Maynard (the vocalist) comes into the studio to lay down lyrics that he builds as he listens to the music. And second the reason for Danny’s skill that seems rare in metal drummers is that he is a classically trained and educated jazz drummer. He’s taken the most sophisticated drumming techniques and applied them to a different genre of music. Love this reaction video definitely going to subscribe and watch more of your channel.
With the loss of Neil Peart, Danny becomes probably the most proficiently technical drummer alive.
Either him, Mike Mangini or Mike Portnoy
100 percent
Don’t forget Gavin Harrison
@@BOURBON-BANDIT I love Portnoy... but he isn't even on the same plane as Carey. Portnopy is a metronome showoff, Carey is a master of patterns
what about carter from DMB
This drummer, Danny Carey, is now 60 years old and currently touring with Tool. It is absolutely insane that at 60 years old he's drumming without a break, songs that are 6 to 16 minutes long. Just had the privilege of seeing them live on Jan 16th in San Francisco, and I can say their show is centered around Danny and I believe he is the greatest drummer of all time when you throw in the fact he's a drumming composer, beats and rhythms no other drummer uses
I believe he has directed some of their videos as well
Nice dude. I caught them the day before In sacramento. So good. My great regret is not seeing them live every new album they released
Saw TOOL live on the 31st.
Amazing! HOOKED FOR LIFE🤘
Saw them in Sacramento, same as Solomon, and he's a badass. Happy birthday Danny
Saw them last night in San Antonio, amazing performance
Cool quote I heard from Danny. “A good drummer doesn’t play beats, they play music”. When Danny plays, the percussion comes alive. His metronomic awareness is next level. His ability to drastically switch tempo mid song along with his prowess in polyrhythms and unconventional rhythms really set him apart from other drummers I’ve heard. Greatness, Certified!
I agree with Carey's words. To this day, I still remember a top drummer who said: if you know how to whistle, then you know how to play the drum well ;)
I am not a drummer- I play flute, but my dad was a professional musician live and studio. I grew up around live music and players of many instruments. The comlexity of Tool is so fascinating to me and Danny is the backbone of all those comlpex changing rhythms. I feel like the guitar and bass become the nerves protruding out of that backbone and Maynard Completes the coplex "feeling" of the songs. Textures and Rythms and Tones, oh my! When I first watched the video of Danny myself, I actually said outloud, "He is not playing drums, he is playing music". The different tones and rhythms become a musical instrument of their own. I had never heard this quote before so it was so COOL to hear that that is exactly what he wants to do and I "got it"!
Time is a necessary construct. One maybe learns to play robotically so then they can play organically.
Math is cruel, uncaring and always honest. Human beings are more variable.
His technique is French Grip which is used on timpani’s in the percussion world. His chops using this technique blows my mind. Danny Carey is just so freaking impressive!
Just like Bill Bruford, one of his main inspirations!
The entire album is a drum solo, and a masterpiece made by master musicians....
Every song sends chills up my spine and a few make me feel like I could cry for some reason. It's weird.
@@nickskrtic2788 I've seen the new album tour 3 times in the last 3 years and each show was the most awesome show I've ever seen. AMAZING!!!!
@@nickskrtic2788 It's okay dude, Tool has always made me cry, for 30 years now. The songs can be so overwhelming.
@@satevo462 there doesent even need to be lyrics. Just how the music flows with certain songs meanings. Tool ruined all other music for me. And I'm OK with that lol.
and master producer Joe Barresi
One thing to note, you commented that "he's catching those lyrics great." It's actually the other way around. TOOL composes their music without Maynard (lead singer). Only when they feel the music is done do they call Maynard. Maynard then writes to what the music does to him.
Yea and I find that to be such unique way of song writing. Letting the the music take you where it wants to go. Creates such unique lyrics and melodies. I can’t imagine that being easy to write that way.
Good spot, mate. The Mars Volta also employs this songwriting technique. Omar Rodriguez largely composes the pieces before Cedric Bixler Zavala comes in to write lyrics.
I feel like thats probably part of the reason why Maynard has so many 'side' bands too. Gives him an outlet for when he wants to lead the creative process.
I do the same thing. Write the vocals to the music. This isn't song writing. It is what I call sound art.
Maynard also sings behind the band, he has said it is where he can hear them the best at.
What’s crazy about this is the album sounds just as good. This is flawless.
This man is genuinely incredible. His talent and passion is unmatched and will likely be so for some time.
Its also worth noting how absolutely MASSIVE he is. He towers over everyone and his arms are like the size of my legs. His kit is also huge. I stood next to it at a show a few years ago and it made me feel like a child. I could have curled up inside the bass.
Danny is a beast on a kit, and he was 58 when this was filmed.
That's insane I'm 36 and exhausted just watching this
@@mikewhipkey6863 Check out Tony Wright's cover of "The Demon's Name is Surveillance" by Meshuggah. Holyyyy ----!
@@Itsunclegabby ok cool definitely will do that thank you
58 years of experience and the end result is this
Couldn’t agree more.
Danny has no "free flowing" drum solo's. Tool has to be the most regimented band I have ever heard. That part of the song is identical to the studio version. They just make it kick ass right from the initial stages of the song creation. They definitely do not stray from script.
Yeah, even Chocolate Chip Trip is 1 to 1. He's a cyborg, on a band of wizards, that lead an army.
They’re very architectural in their approach!
Tool's work is kind of like building and rebuilding a house night after night after night. The NEVER miss a beat, a note, a single solitary sound. Nothing varies, like some eternal obelisk that just is. You see hear the patterns and sounds the way you always will, forever.
What are you people talking about? Danny is very compositional and creates super intricate pieces, but he improvises a lot from night to night with both his fusion bands and with Tool in every song. Even in this live performance, there are plenty of deviations from the script. As the songs age, he tweaks things and creates even further space for improvisation. It's just how things happen when a rock drummer trains in jazz.
Chocolate Chip Trip is overtly different every time you see it. Are we listening to the same drummer??
I’m an old, prog rock dude. Only other band I’ve seen this ‘on point’ is Yes.
The amazing polyrhythms that Tool uses!! Danny Carey is right there with the finest drummers in any genre -- the guys who can do it all. Someone below mentioned Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, and others who were the defining drummers of multiple decades. Danny is one of them.
I am trying to remember where I heard the story but apparently in high school Danny would tap his fingers on the table with each one doing a different count. It was a friend of a friend story with someone who went to high school with him.
Just like Neil Peart, he's clean & concise, no wasted movement, controlled & not over-playing ....amazing feel & textures
Danny is better. He’s the next evolution…
Also: his pads are Mandala, that weird drum that looks like a toilet seat is “an old Wavedrum”, it’s a 33 pc kit and he still records on 2” tape… as of Fear Inoculum.

this comment appreciated
Everything Tool has made thus far stands out from everything else, they really some of the best musicians of our lifetime.
Saw them live on Jan 10th, their first tour date since March 2020 when covid shut everything down. That show was FLAWLESS.
I second that Sean.
100%
My favorite thing is their evolution while retaining a signature sound that tugs at the soul.
They're not some of the best, they are the best.
Dude, it’s Danny Carey. He’s probably in the top three best drummers ever.
The “synthesizer” is actually a guitar fed through some crazy effects. Everyone in Tool is so talented and creative in how they approach their art.
Was looking for this comment to confirm my suspicion it was actually the guitar…
Yeah, it’s weird that he keeps on calling it a synth, dude needs to do a little research!
@@TrevorDandy. It's not a research project video, it's a "reaction" video. Some of you guys here are actually insufferable lol
He's not a drummer, he's "The Drummer"!
i want to see him and Tom Morello together, just once, please God, just give this to me one time in my life before i die.
@@theroninne 🤮
Danny Carey is the patron saint of drum fills dude. He's always got the most tasteful and unique drum feels dude and it's always a different
Tasteful is exactly the right word! Placed well in the song, not too many and not over the top while still being creative
How can anyone claiming to be a professional drummer not know exactly who Danny Carey is? He is the GOAT!!!!
Right?! That's what kinda bothered me about this whole thing. Like, where the fuck you been when you're not familiar with arguably the greatest drummer alive?
Could be from a diff country, a lot of bands don’t make it to certain country’s, at least in the mainstream
@@steveclark1570 bruh tool is intergalactic
@@steveclark1570 he’s very obviously American or Canadian. I’m quite sure he’s familiar with Tool and just claimed ignorance for the video
@@MrEazyE357 yea wtf aye! was thinking that as a drummer how has he missed danny?
He's such a great drummer, and SO CALM while blowing minds. Absolute legend
Danny Carey : Poise, Posture, Precision, Power , Polyrhythms ......Perfection
Tool is one of those rare bands where the lyrics are actually not written until after the instrumental part has been fully fleshed out and compiled. The way I see it, it gives the other band members the ability to use more of their thought processes and can get truly involved with their creation. Maynard has a way of putting words to a song to become a part of the song itself... Not just to sing a song, but his voice is in a way, just one of the instruments. If you listen to not just what he sings, but how he sings it, you'll get it. As far as their drummer Danny Carey? They could not have found a better person for it. It just seems to come naturally to him, and he loves his job. If you are new to listening to Tool, my advice is to just enjoy the journey. They aren't just songs... they are an experience.
I love this comment. Not a lot of people know that about how Tool works and it’s something that needs to be appreciated. I’ve heard someone say, “Maynard is what is needed to complete the music (of Tool).” I couldn’t agree with that statement more. It’s not only a testament to MJK, but a testament to Danny Carey, Adam Jones, and Justin Chancellor. Maynard is a brilliant lyricist and master of tones and only he could grace the sounds that Tool makes and add ANY kind of substance to it (whereas anyone else would subtract). Good stuff.
Well put. Very well put.
@@PneumaNoose same can be said for APC and Puscifer. He's the cherry, so to speak.😄
Also, the reason they record the instrumentals and then send them to Maynard is because Maynard was always trying to fuck with their music. Lol. So instead of going through bullshit in the studio they just do their own stuff and then send it off to maynard for vocal additions
@@brentborgers5359 I absolutely agree. Maynard is my favorite artist of all time. His voice, his writing, his humor, his mind in general… I just cannot get enough. Not that I’d ever have a chance with such a beautiful being, but I would choose him over Jason Momoa ANY day (despite being insanely attracted to giant beasts like JM lol). I just want to f**k MJK’s brain please. Thanks. Just had to tell someone.
As a non-musician, I am frequently 💯 impressed by what I see and hear. With Tool & Danny, I feel like there is an inaccessible depth of craft that I appreciate not being capable of elucidating.
I feel this way too!
I am a novice musician and the craft of music that I cannot understand, makes music ... MAGIC!
danny carry is the ultimate professional. His skill is beyond. True Goat.
When you said, “he’s catching those lyrics great”. Danny, Adam (guitars) and Justin (bass) complete all of the music and then hand it over to Maynard(vocals) who listens to the music and writes the lyrics based on what he feels from the music. So, it’s actually Maynard hitting the beat
As a skilled drummer this is a shitty take on your part. You wrong dawg
How does Maynard hit a beat if the drummer doesn't hit the beat .....smh
No, he's right. The music is written BEFORE any lyrics/vocals are added. This has been confirmed many times over by band members. The singer has admitted to be a reactionary artist when it comes to their music composition.
Don't let the other comments get you down. It sucks when you're correct and others pile onto the wrong-wagon! They absolutely lay down the music then Maynard comes in with beautifully crafted lyrical content. Yet another thing that makes Tool unique, superb, and Tool!
@@blazinbuc99 not a take. It’s a fact
The Tabla sounding trigger to the right of the Roto tom is a KORG Wavedrum. The pads with the designs are Mandala Multi zoned pads. Bill Bruford of Yes and King Crimson is a big influence for Danny. He had a set up with a center mounted remote hi hats and electronic triggers mixed in to an acoustic kit, Bruford also liked the larger sized Roto Toms.
Bruford is the man.
@@spiderbass65 Bruford can play in the pocket like no other.
Fun fact..last year Bruford sold off much of his drum equipment..and the big D bought a good chunk of it, lol.
@@thelemite935 Nice! It's in great hands.
Also Billy Cobham.
I think with Danny, and this is from yeeeears of ardent listening and appreciation, is that most drummers/percussionists arent inherantly composers..and they merely look to fill an auditory void with clever tactics or an underlying beat that fits. Not only does he NOT write that way, he composes so that his writings fill the overarching song to the brim with wonder and amazing strike combos and time signatures....but his comps NEVER..ever feel crowded or "crammed in" 💯 Great job reviewing this live version of one of Tools masterpieces. Your level of understanding is something that can only come from years of study, dedication and playing at the highest of levels. And its people like you and Mr. Carrey who imact those of us out here who may play at varying skill levels, but all share the exact same love of the art!! 👏💯🔥
Right on
Question for you and I'm not hating on you. How are you a professional drummer and you don't know who Danny Carey is?!!
Clean. Very clean. Shoes. Roto tom's, very cool. Ooohhhh nice set up man. Nice. Yeah. Not words of a professional drummer.
Snake oil salesman
@@BantherTracks Yep 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BantherTracks He is lying on himself! I mean all the other reactions from other professional drummers all know who Danny Carey is.
TOOL ARMY appreciates your reaction.
This is one of the greatest drumming performances of all time! Doesn't matter if you're a Ginger Baker fan, a Buddy Rich fan, a Thomas Lang fan, etc. Wow!!
💜💜💜
Danny’s my favorite
That's really interesting. I didn't now that at all but it does make sense. It's such a complex group of time signatures that it would be difficult to base the music off the lyrics
I love your comment! Danny Carey might be the best drummer of all time though. I hate to throw that around... But... Dude isn't just a beast at drumming. He composes his own music from it. It's not just a beat or rhythm.
Mitch Mitchell
people dont understand how hard it is to hit clean time after time and alsways perfectly in every aspect of their music
It’s Danny Carey baby!!! He’s been crushing it for over 30 years. By far my favorite drummer.
The Mandala pads are made by Synesthesia. These are USB driven pads that run with their software. The pads are very sensitive and are multizoned (128 zones). I think he's only using 3 at the beginning. He is using an old wave drum for the tabla. He has an old Roland handsonic HPD-16. He has the SPD-30 too. I think he just uses onboard sounds with the Octapad. At least I was able to get some of the sounds that he uses off of that. Buchla Marimba Lumina is in the back too.
HOLY CRAP, you know a shit load about drums!!
Damn! Niiice...
he actually co designed the mandala pads with Synesthesia. his idea their tech
@@mattsheridan4703 yeah, he's into sacred geometry!
the wave drum he uses is ancient. I think it's a 90s-era Korg. Looks like a toilet seat but makes some great sounds
You’re looking at the best drummer ever Jarvis. Danny’s ability to perform flawlessly 100% of the time with his incredible intellect is unbelievably difficult and he makes it look easy
not flawlessly - see 10:52 on the VicFirth post: czcams.com/video/FssULNGSZIA/video.html
@@sm108 yep. Danny's amazing, but every single drum god makes mistakes. I've caught a few mistakes at Tool shows and saw him drop a stick once at one of his fusion gigs. I think he dropped a stick in that Rosetta Stoned clinic video.
Lol, yeah. No one performs flawlessly 100% of the time. Even Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain, and then all of CZcams called him out on it.
@@normie2716 lol
@@normie2716 You know you're basic when you're throwing Jesus Fucking Christ into all your comments.
It was a pleasure watching you react to the King of odd time signatures. Ever since Neal died, there really isnt anyone alive doing it like Danny. He changes time signatures at least 5-20 times a song. So much to remember and he does it Flawlessly 💯 Glad to see you enjoy it as much as those of us who have been listening for decades. He truly is one of a kind 🤘🏼
How on earth are you a professional drummer and not know Danny?
Thank you
Exactly
I hear you on that one
I wondered this myself.
Then how he's all like "This is really cool. good job.." Talking about one of the greatest rock drummers of all time, as if he is somehow in the same league.
I"ve watched so many of these Pneuma reactions and you're the only one who caught the best fill of the song. I didnt know what to call it but you jumped on it and labeled it a "3 over 4". Well done!
Same I love that he noticed it💯
Guitarist here not a drummer, but even I appreciate how that simple "3 over 4" takes all of the polyrhythms and chaos from crescendo of the song, wraps them up and kinda resets the whole groove... Its friggin poetic.
14:26 love that part too
yeah but that double round the world there nearing the end though! man that was nasssssssssssssty! guy is a legend
Guys, I'm a huge fan.
Like, huge.
Me and my friends play this and many other Tool songs for fun, so I'm not hating or disagreeing per se.
I just have to point out, that when he points out the "3 over 4" thing, the drums are not playing polyrhythms or anything complicated.
It follows the guitar and bass; 3,3,3,3,4=16, for the entire riff.
The 2nd to last time, Danny simply places quarter notes triplets over a measure.
He starts on the first beat of that measure and starts the next measure on the first beat.
I'm not saying it doesn't sound amazing.
I'm just saying it's done in music a LOT. And it's not really special, other than the fact Danny is doing it and he is awesome.
I just feel like fawning over the simple shit and making it out to be way more than it is, takes away from someone possibly discovering them and thinking/ realizing their fans basically simp for them 😆
Danny Carey is nothing less than a legend in our time.
Aww bless you. You thought you knew drums and probably still think you do. However, your reaction proves otherwise.
one of the best composed songs of 2019. Danny is a true genius.
Just saw Tool in Grand Rapids Mich. First thing I want to say is they sound AMAZING live. Easily the best sounding live show I’ve ever seen. Maynard’s vocals sound as good live as they do recorded. All that being said….
I couldn’t take my eyes off Danny. He is arguably the best drummer alive. What an absolute honor to see him play. I’ve seen ALOT of drummers and no one comes close. There are so many subtle things he does that once you SEE him play it…it’s like listening to the song for the first time again.
Bravo Danny, Bravo
I was there as well!
I’ve seen Tool twice, 2007 and 2009 and I spent the whole show just watching Danny in absolute awe
Was a great show! My first time ever actually being able to catch them when they rolled through Michigan.
@@Dolamite314 same! I was right side pretty close. Great seats. Van Andel (spelling?) is a great venue but holy shit the parking is terrible.
I was mesmerized by Danny the whole time.
@@scottw.7587 Yea the parking there kind of sucks. Took us a while to get out of the parking garage. I was at the back of the arena up in the second bowl. I wanted a head on view where I didn't have to stand the whole show. In my later 40s. lol. The light show was amazing from that point though.
The beauty of Tool/Danny "The Octopus" Carey is that they drag us all into new realms of tempo, beat, and time signature. For decades bands and drummers have subscribed to a known quantity that is easy for the listener to follow and feel comfortable and familiar with. Tool and Danny transcend that and take us to a place we've (no one) has ever been before. Which makes it spiritual.
"The Octopus" is an apt name. I swear I saw a few extra arms pop out in that instrumental.
Probably one of the most influential drummers and musicians over the past 30 years. A living legend
This is my favorite of all the reaction videos I’ve seen from this tune. My man speaks from the standpoint of education and experience, which keeps him objective despite being a little outside his comfort zone.
He’s also able to break down what’s happening technically without being overly academic about it. He doesn’t make your eyes glaze over from “geek speak.”
Best of all, the reactions are genuine because he identifies what he likes, tells you what it is, THEN tells you why he likes it. You can’t help but appreciate what’s being played that much more.
Well done, my man. You’ve got a new fan!
Larry Bird is a great drummer.
I actually lol'd!
@@brettriggin3777 same! 😂
Facts
Dude, Larry Bird FUCKING KILLS ON DRUMS!!!
Danny Carey can shoot 3s all day long
I have loved Tool for over 20 years and I finally got to see them live last week and............................no words! Seriously, there are no words that can describe what I experienced. Everything about them is perfection! I couldn't take my eyes off Danny! Seeing him do this in person is absolutely mind-blowing! I'm so scared that this will be their last tour because I HAVE to see them again!
Saw them live Friday and you are not wrong. Fan since the 90s and the concert was JUST as amazing as I hoped
should I be high for the concert?
@@edu.33 nah you don't need to be but it's up to you? I would love to be able to go again, throw up a hammock, do some acid and just get lost in the experience though. That would be incredible!!
First saw them in 2006 10,000 days tour and in 2010. Glad you got to get your tool virginity broken
I was scared I saw their last tour in like 2006. Then I saw them again in 2022. In not convinced these guys are mortals.
It’s unreal how he can play off beat and with incredible rhythm and precision in the same song. My brain can’t deal with the thought of playing like he does!
I was randomly invited to Tool’s most recent show in Philly. That show was the first time I ever found myself paying attention to drums at all.
This dude is a god damn athlete if nothing else. Explosive drumming the entire show. Switching between rhythms constantly. And he isn’t built like your traditional drummer, he’s built like a tank. Straight up impressive.
Hell yeah. I was there too. Every Tool show is different. Every Tool show is the same. Every Tool show is incredible.
Of course Larry Bird is an athlete.
Danny is a fucking mountain of man
At 12:58 When Adam’s guitar comes back in after the synth, you can see what Danny starts to do with his right hand. He starts his round on the snare, and moves it around. All the way up until the climax/breakdown, you can start to see how he’ll start to decrease how much drums he’s playing on the right hand. From five 13:15, four 13:30 , three 13:53 , two 13:57, and then the snare kicks everyone into the breakdown 14:00. Absolute genius
💯
Good catch that is so cool!
I didn't even catch that 'til I read your comment! That's super awesome!
AWESOME catch man!!!!
this has made this song so much more interesting!
GOAT. Danny always refining his craft and adding good tech.
If you are a drummer you understand this is not easy...Danny is amazing
I've been to 3 Tool shows. One of them I had a obstructed view seat to the left of the stage. All I watched the entire show was Danny Carey, I was mesmerized. He also drummed the entire show bare foot.
Genuine greatness. Was awesome seeing someone who could pick up on all the tiny nuances and variations he makes in his stick placement and timing changes, great reaction bro...one of the best I've seen.
Hey man, your review was as smooth as Danny's playing. Well spoken, articulate and some insight for the viewer. Kudos!
Tool and Danny have had the best (my favorite) tone consistently throughout a bands whole career.
the small pads are Mandala Drums, pads made by Synesthesia Corp - super high res MIDI drum pads, which Danny users to the fullest - another cool thing about Danny is he uses a lot of cool perc tech and modular synths for some of his sounds (as well as the Korg Wavedrum for world/organic perc sounds)
Danny is a drumming legend, and the whole band is incredible as well
fun to see them live, but this kind of camerawork is the best way to appreciate Danny to the fullest, never get tired of watching him work
Danny Carey has such a reach when he plays because he has SUCH A REACH. The man is 6'5''. He really has such amazing speed and cleanness for the amount of space that he covers.
The involuntary facial reactions are even more expressive than the highly insightful interview! Danny having that effect on a pro speaks volumes.
It was awesome seeing in Jarvis eyes right about 20 sec's how he realized this is probably the most technical, eloquent drummer he's ever witnessed!
Not a musician but love watching drummers reacting to Danny Carry to this song specifically. You killed it my man! Nice and clean breakdown and I plan on watching more of your stuff brother.
His entry after 16:33 is soooo incredible, you can feel his full force, he puts his body and soul on that hit and you can even see him getting ready for it taking deeeep breath and GO! Really love that
Been a huge Danny Carey fan for over 20 years. Nice to finally get some insight on his amazing talent and setup. I have only been as knowledgeable to say, "He is amazing at drumming." Thankful for the insight on this video. Cheers!
There are so many great drummers that have come and gone. John Bonham, Neil Peart, keith moon, lars, vinnie paul, etc, etc. But I'd put Dany Carey at the head of the line. Its just downright incredible. 60 years old and still wailing.
lol lars?
Danny carey is 62 years old this year

Danny is waaaay better than Lars.
17:01 Danny goes full slave to the drums here, love the right handed slap soon after like he's punishing the cymbol for making him work so hard lol
I got VIP tickets to see the band and Danny was the coolest guy ever! Taking pictures with everyone, great energy super happy and the dude is enormous. Tall as hell and super jacked!
Hearing this song in concert was life changing, Danny is a goat, kept the band and the crowd moving. Love it.
I'm not a musician and I know very, very little about how music is made. I absolutely love watching people that KNOW music get so excited about other people playing music.
As far as this song goes, it's one of my favorites from Tool. To me it's exhilarating and soothing at the same time.
danny personally made those pads with the pentagrams on them.He is the GOD of drumming.If you havnt seen TOOL live it is an absolute MUST.All 4 of the band members are GODS in their CRAFT! Alot of those unique sounds your hearing outside of the drums and guitaring is produced by whats called a GROOVE BOX!
11:50 it still blows my mind how he can just keep all those different rhythms at once
This is why tool takes forever for a release of an album bc there’s so much talent in one band!
Came here to see the reaction to Tool, enjoyed not only that but both your analysis and you as a person. Subscribed! Take care man, we’re all in this together.. family.
Fun fact , is when it comes to Danny..... just sit back and take it all in . He is a monster , uses NO click tracks and is a machine !
I just love seeing other people geek out over him like I do. Man he's a beast!!! One of the best to ever do it.
The number of bands that can perform to this level of perfection is an extremely small number. The technical complexity that Tool dishes out is on another planet, and I don’t think there’s another drummer in the world that could fit. Danny is just incredible and it’s awesome to be able to see him this close up!!! 🤘
The funny thing is they won't play wings 1 and 2 live any more because it's too complicated and they don't want to crush Maynard by fucking it up live when it's so emotional for him.
I feel pretty blessed that i saw them perform these back to back in 2007.
Carey's all about perfect timing, syncopation with either the vocalist or one of the guitars......or both. A mix of percussion and electronic drums as he did on the Lateralus tour in 2012 was mind-blowing. One of the best drummers in the rock world easily!
This guy has just slid up to my all time favorite drummer of all time . I play a little don’t have a kit . Never give up on our dreams ! I dream I can play one quarter. The way this guy plays ! And seems to be a real down to earth, nice person . Sincerely new fan 👍🏽
I'm of the opinion that Danny's drumming is like a freshly waxed floor. Smooth and Clean. Like you can slide from one spot to another easily.
And it's Clear as Glass. Nothing muddy, dark, or Opaque about it.
The song may be Ominous, Brooding or Melancholy, but the drumming is always Bold and Bright.
The "quick cymbal" is a literal "Thank" "You" to the erupting crowd after his solo. Peace/JT
He doesn't need electronics period!
he is the best drummer alive right now ,
hope you figured that out by now!
When he went to school,
He,
taught the teacher!!
The funny thing about this is…. It’s not a solo. It’s just the song. He plays it every time they play the song, exactly the same way, every time.
Tool isn't just a band, they are an experience. With each song averaging 8-9 minutes, one can't just go for a quick listen with Tool, they must commit their time to listen to Tool.
☝ and here's THAT TOOL fan everybody "listen to the worrrrrrds maaaaaaaan" LOL
TOOL is a lifestyle
You of course mean newer Tool stuff.
Couldn't have said it better. One does not simply listen to tool . Tool changes ones outlook on life in general.
If you've never experienced tool I recommend good headphones black room and let your mind roam !
The pads used in the beginning are Mandala Pads iirc. This song is so powerful live. Right in Two is a good song for lyrical meaning as well as composition. The drums are insane, but they are with just about every Tool song if we're being honest lmao.
Truth!
Even in Tools calmer songs he's still doind mad time signatures and rhythms.
They have like 127 programmable strike zones or some crazy shit like that. He loads up a full set of different sounds with the equipment behind him for each track.

Danny Carey interview: czcams.com/video/Rx9oU1CF7HA/video.html
I saw the point where you literally just got hypnotized by the playing. That's what TOOL does... Danny Carey can play aggressively but make it feel like he's resting your head on a soft pillow at the same time. The entire band is the result of combining some of the best musicians on the planet and making a band.
Polyrhythmic and the Fibonacci sequence are a huge part of Tool's sound, plus his INSANE times and measures that he is keeping with different hands, feet and overall timing in the performance are kind of in the "off beat" of the song. He is TRULY a Mathematical genius to keep all these different times, measures, and yet perfect for with the bass, guitar, and vocals. He is 100% the best drummer of my generation,up there with John Bonham, Neil pert, etc. No question he is a true genius. And I LOVE that he wears basketball jerseys to most shows, especially since I am from Boston, the Larry Bird #33 jersey with Carey on the back- his own personal MVP jersey! Genius.
I'm a bassist so I listen closely to Justin, I put him in the 10 GOAT.
Maynard is an angry poet who can sing, I like poetry.
Danny is a monster, his sense of time signatures often just leaves me behind. Top 10.
Adam seldom makes best of lists, Tool wouldn't be Tool w/o him.
They're a unit, they're Tool.
They're all definitely at the top of their game. While Adam does tend to get overshadowed he's also responsible for a lot of the band's visual art direction.
Adam doesn't reinvent the wheel, but his compositions are majestic !
Tool is the perfect storm.
They won a grammy for Tempest, and I'd say that song is Adam's showcase song on the album. Hes finally getting the recognition he deserves
Watching Justin life is awesome for me. I picked bass up in 2020 (badly damaged leg had me surgeried and healing on the couch basically for 12 weeks in casts pre and post surgery). It was so awesome seeing him vibe with Adam on a few songs, I thing it would be super awesome to have a show with tool, primus and Victor Wooten so bass junkies can spaz out the entire time
Funny. I was a drummer in my young days. Every time you were looking closer to the screen, I did the same thing. It made me laugh at myself noticing I was doing it at the same time as you. Love your channel man!
Danny Carey is a genius… the way he mixes odd beats and timings with drum fills and percussion is unmatched. Him and Neil pert are the greatest to ever do it
Tomas Haake
Loved this reaction Danny is the best drummer in my opinion and your thoughts and views were spot on and was a pleasure to watch. I can and have watched this video 30 times and attempt to play it myself
The pads you are talking about are Mandala Pads and Danny contribuite to their creation.
As a long-time Tool fan, I remember when the drum outro on The Grudge was like Danny's peak and it was just mind blowing every time. Fast forward almost 20 years and he's doing that kind of stuff as his standard beats.
This is the best reaction to this song. He is so hood at explaining technical stuff for the layman. I'm subscribed now.
