I don’t know why people tell you not to count when listening to tool songs. Seeing the joy in your eyes once you work it out is one of the best bits for me. ❤
Listen first. Count later.
@@nathanwaibel454 Listen however you'd like first; and however you'd like later. There is no "right" way to listen to music.
I personally enjoy the music *so much more* once I can follow the time signature changes. As a drummer who makes transcriptions of Tool's music, it makes sense; my first concern with any music is often its meter.
If anyone is interested, you can find my Descending drum sheet music transcription here: czcams.com/play/PLeaK9tcJzll0JqQ3Mze4DMQopO8ObtVvY.html
That's what excites me the most when I listen to Tool. I totally get it. And I love it because he always works out the timings that I never could lol.
What is he counting
@@DR.DisInfect The time signature(s) of the song. www.google.com/search?q=time+signature
Never stop counting, what seperates you from so many music reaction channels is your knowledge of music and willingness to take your time to listen to a song
I enjoy that you count. It’s helps us less musically inclined people appreciate the band that much more. Not only can we hear how good they are but we can understand what it is they are doing that makes it sound the way it does. I’ve learnt a lot from watching your reactions, keep it up :)
Love that you count. I’m a pianist and singer I count when I listen to Tool every time, and if I’m not at a keyboard I play the notes with my hands. It’s cool to hear a musician listening
Tears streaming down my face by the middle of the song. Pure brilliance.
I've heard this song so many times (it's my favorite song off this album) and I still get teary eyed and chills every time I hear it. It is absolutely beautiful.
This track gives me the chills every time I listen. The crescendo for me is when Danny goes to the gong . The hair on the back of my neck stands up at that point. This song resonates in my soul !!!
@@douglasdrain That's definitely the climax after a very dramatic build-up. Epic song!
@@douglasdrain No one ever seems to mention that! It's an absolutely perfect crescendo.
With Tool the riffs, the harmonies and the chord progressions are always quite simple. Finger-wise, it's all easy to play. But the rythms, the dynamics and measures with all their variations are always very complex and hard to play together as a band. That's the true strength of this band.
Justin does some crazy stuff with his bass when he starts throwing the effects in, though. Sometimes it's easy to mistake his parts as belonging to Adam Jones.
I prefer when you count. Not just for your own enjoyment, but I get to learn and understand time signatures more.
It is often said music is a language. Dave's language is in musical measures. If this song was in German most here would not undersyltand and enjoy. Dave counts... it is universal so he can enjoy all music regarless of the verbal language. This is a gift. Keep doing what you do Dave, your fans are your fans and the haters are haters. Rock on 🤘
True. I love Dave confirming the count too. But not a perfect analogy. Most can enjoy Baby Metal without knowing a lick of Japanese.
Yes!! Another Tool reaction!
Feel you with counting : my 7yo son is neurodivergent and he ENJOYS music by counting the rythme (he's a Metallica fan rather😊); everthing for him is math, geometry, phisics, which makes him happy! I know nothing about counting music, but i love your reactions so much!
@THEDavidHeretic: Since you are like me and enjoy the music more once you've figured out the time signatures, you may enjoy this active drum transcription of this song (Descending): czcams.com/play/PLeaK9tcJzll0JqQ3Mze4DMQopO8ObtVvY.html. Checking out the drum sheet music in real-time, like that presented in my video, is enjoyable for me; you may find it equally rewarding to check out.
I enjoyed your reaction; keep 'em coming. :-) All the best.
I love that you count, because I can't 😁. This track gets better and better the more I hear it, I actually find it quite emotional
Tool's songs speak a different language. I find it strangely hypnotic. Overwhelmingly smooth but always powerful. Keep reacting to Tool, please?
Don’t apologize. You’ve taught me how to count the beat. Thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪
He sang for well over 5 minutes, which is long for a normal song and there’s a live performance of this titled, Chicago open air, where he he literally sings his last lyrics and walks off to let the band be the center piece for the last 7 minutes. Also if You like great guitar work check out Tempest from this same album if you haven’t already. It’s organized chaos to say the least. Love the reaction bro 😎
David just like Count von Count from Sesame Steet I also enjoy counting to TOOL. ✌️
Hey it's your right to enjoy listening however you want to and if your enjoyment is to count, then what is the problem with doing what you want? A lot of musicians enjoy counting, it's how some people were brought up thru music. That all being said, I enjoy that you enjoy counting cause I'm too busy listening to other things to stop and do what I'm not that great at, counting. So you do it for me and nothing wrong with that IMHO. I enjoyed this reaction you did, especially with Tool I tend to learn a bit when I watch your reactions to Tool. I always struggle with time when it comes to Tool and I suspect that others do too. I think that you're the kind of person who needs to count to get more in touch with the song which is your way of more enjoyment. Keep counting and rock on.
“It doesn’t seem like this much time has passed.”
Time does not pass normally while you’re listening to Tool. It is conceivable to achieve immortality by creating/playing a mix wherein there are no gaps between their songs.
They accelerate just enough to let you know they don´t use a click for their studio work. This song is the masterpiece, the center the climax of this album.
Hey Dave! Just wanted to let you know that watching you count in your videos over the last couple of years has gotten me into the habit of counting new songs that I listen to. This has also led to appreciating songs with more complex time signatures. I definitely appreciate how true you are to yourself!
The best song on an album full of great songs. TOOL for life!
Adam shines more on this album than any other....I feel he was the strongest performer on this album
You cannot deny Danny either... So much magic from those two here on this song alone
Thanks Dave! my first time listening to Tool, and I liked it. I really enjoy how you take apart the music and dissect the beats and the different components of the performance.
I definitely recommend you explore their discography. They definitely evolved from angry to enlightened.
I’ve been following the channel since the beginning and your reactions are always great and entertaining, but one of the coolest and most unique aspects of your channel, are in the technical insights you provide! Please, don’t stop that!!
The boys are crushing it! 🤯✌️
This is my favorite song on this album, thank you for sharing your reaction! Also, this song was amazing live!
I feel so much validation watching this reaction. I truly believe that this is Tool's #2 masterpiece behind Lateralus. It's actually a very close call for me between this, Wings for Marie 1/2 (emotionally) and Rosetta Stoned (musically), but I keep coming back to Descending. I'm one of the few Tool fanatics who wasn't as impressed with this album. To me it's this, 7empest, and Pneuma - not much else really moves me. But Descending does it all. It evokes strong emotions, it's technical, its epic. Just love it. Great reaction as always David
Dave, I love hearing you count things out and explain it. I know nothing about counting and notes, but you’ve helped it start trying. Keep it up, man.
Wake up, get coffee, about to start work, just do a quick check of potential videos to watch later
Oh look. David’s doing Tool. And it’s 46m.
Guess I’m starting work in an hour…
What a Brilliant band, I'm so glad you do what you do, because that's how I hear TooL as well.....30 years later....TooL still sounds like no one and no one sounds like them, amazing band
If you like The Grudge and Lateralus, then I think you would love The Patient.
I appreciate your counting, you add context to the complex mathematics that Tool uses throughout their Catalog.
Love your reactions!! Tool brought me here.. I like that u count cuz im learning a lot. Your right u don't tell us how to listen. There are all kinds of reaction channels to choice from. Keep on rockin!!!
Since the moment I heard this song and continuing right through now, I get chills every time from 14:40 to 15:15. Love the power and in the message in Maynard‘s words.
Absolutely! You nailed the highlight of this song !
For me the highlight is 26:11 to 26:50 with 26:30 being the highlight of the highlight 🙃
Yep, his voice reminds me of a pucifer song during this part.
Same here brother
I love when you count, I actually have learned quite a bit by seeing the way you analyze different types of songs, keep it up! 🤘
My father was a guitarist. When I was around four he noticed I was playing Chicago on my kid piano. The next day a keyboard and piano arrived.
I always get excited when I see you’ve done another reaction. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re one of the best in my opinion.
Dave, you magnificent beast....Been waiting for this one. Go son!!!
Awesome man!! I think it’s great you count. Great video
Man this song never disappoints!! Great reaction DH 🤟🏼
Love your reactions. Keep counting!
I love your reviews no matter what fcker, they`re all awesome.
Thank you for really getting into the songs, you gave me hours and hours of entertainmant.
Keep it up
About time you reacted to this
You do you bro!!! It's nice to see your unique take on songs.
There are some damn funny shorts of Maynard doing funny shit behind Danny during the instrumental parts. One's a pretty damn good prank on Danny.
Yes!!! What I’ve been waiting for!!!
you are incredibly talented david!
Man great review!
Amen fellow brother musician 🎶 count away!!!
Counting this song is what sends you into the trance of it. That's what makes it so beautiful
I always appreciate when you count. I am not a musician, so it helps me better understand the song.
WOW! :D 9,4! Best reaction to the best song. :) I enjoyed so much watching you enjoy this great song! Thank you David! :)
I'm not saying I never count but I've been counting a lot more since I started watching your reactions, and I appreciate you doing it. Keep being you man!
haha loved this video... I remember saying you better wear your scuba suit for this one its got a spacey underwater kinda vibe... I also asked if you could please count it really helps me figure out music so thanks for that.
Edit: 9.4?!! Wow great score.. better than your favorite the grudge. This is my favorite TOOL song so i'm honored.
I like when you count it out, I’m not a musician and like learning something new and I like to see someone count especially with Tool songs that aren’t straight forward like most songs!!!
Good reaction brother I enjoy the content.
Count away sir; I can’t help it either, it’s how I sink into the song so I can enjoy it!
Awesome reaction
As a very amateur musician I appreciate your analysis and “counting “. Thanks for helping me realize song structure. It kinda seems easy for my basic skills, but to see you do Tool and other much more complex bands makes it make more sense. Thanks bro.
My fave Tool song and just one of my fave songs in general!
Keep counting and tell us, we enjoy and look forward to that 👍 Not many channels do that!
Supervised Chaos, another great choice! Thanks!
U keep counting dave its funny as hell when we can see the count is all over the place and it just blows Yr mind 👍👍👍
My favorite song on the new album. They kill it live too!
I enjoy the analysis and counting, because I know the music is fantastic and DH knows good music.
#ToolArmy
Can't wait to hear them live for the first time
TOOl live is just something so amazing and euphoric that nothing can prepare you for it!!
Where at?? Life changing experience I promise!!! Just don't be the noob trying to film everything, be 100% present in the moment... If you partake then def do...
@@308lonegunman i still havent bought any tickets, im waiting for an european show as i live in Spain. I missed my chance last tour bc it felt awkward going alone (as my Friends don't enjoy prog music overall). But i regret it so much, fuck It, i wanna go alone anyway. Would be my first time going to a show on my own and i cant wait honestly. Definitely will be 100% present in the moment
@@chaerleo93 Being alone a security issue or just social awkwardness of flying solo?? Tell the people around you and if they're regular Tool fans then they should treat you like family... Not sure how things work over there but it's totally worth it to pay extra for good seats... Get some 3D glasses for it as well...
@@308lonegunman just social awkwardness, never travelled alone (only did bc of jobs), but i want to overcome that. 3d glasses??
22:22 - Complex Tool is actually siple riffs played in complex fashion flawlessly together making magic happen.
I enjoy the counting so Count away brother . It’s helping me learn
Don't listen to those nay-counters. I love your videos BECAUSE you count it out for me. I wouldn't have figured those time signitures out. Thank you, for you.
I watch other Reactors. One doesn't pause, then reacts after song (least fav.) One reactor pauses and reads lyrics out loud to analyze from philosophy veiw. One girl get all emotional listening to TOOL. One guy just freaks out every TOOL song.
So those people who tell you not to count... tell them to go somewhere else because I CAME HERE FOR MY BUDDY DAVID TO COUNT TOOL OUT TO ME. (& watch him turn red doing it)
Merry Christmas to you and the Mrs. and all whom you keep.
The Moog sounding keyboards starting at 24:05 sound like The Camera Eye synths by Rush.
Great
I don't think I've ever seen him move his head like that when he's counting. I love it.
I've been lucky enough to have a natural talent for time. Grew up in a musical family. Been playing different instruments my whole life. I don't have to count 🤷♂️ not sure why. I just know it. You can put a random piece of sheet music infront of me and I can play it. But you point at a note and ask me how long to hold it for I couldn't tell you. It's weird lol. I learnt it in private lessons and at school but then like forgot it but retained it at the sametime 🤣 Been listening to bands like Tool Karnivool, Opeth etc bands with odd meters since an early teen. I doubt you read all that but nice reactions dude I enjoy them. Keep counting you do you. Each to their own
Xmas came early this year 🤘
This is a song that always makes me cry and I couldn´t even pinpoint why exactly.
Personally, Right in Two is their masterpiece imo. Especially lyrically.
Descending is IMHO, TOOL’s finest offering !!!
I love that you’re lovin it too !!!
Cool song, cool reaction!
Ya'll that can count music are a benefit to use that can't. I know this song is profound, I feel the way it changes and expresses to me, but I can't quantify it. Thanks for helping me understand.
Adam really shines on this track!
The great thing about you counting out is, I as an unbelievably unmusical being, truly appreciate it.
Funny cause Descending and Lateralus are my favorite songs from Tool if I had to pick a favorite, but it’s hard to pick a favorite Tool song. I love the last 3 minutes of the song!!! Double bass drums and great guitars!!! And great lyrics!!! Easily my favorite song from Fear Inoculum. Danny Carey went to Malibu to record the ocean sounds for this track. This was I believe the first song they finished for Fear Inoculum.
I would never tell anyone else how to enjoy music, and I sure as HELL would never apologize for how I choose to enjoy music. I'd phrase it like a comedian whose work I enjoy. "It's *unfortunate* that this bothers you--but I'm not sorry.
Don't stop counting!
I'm with you. It's hard not to count lol.
For someone who tried to be a drummer but couldn't count I enjoy getting the count so can recognize the pattern Tool is operating from. I appreciate it very much. It's one of the reasons why I've enjoyed this channel for years.
At the same time, I don't think what's apparently a very small # of trolls should get Dave's attention or engagement at all. I feel like they got an exclusive 3 minute audience with Dave-taking that time away from me!
Like, maybe counting could be one of the disclaimers that's stated in the intro, along with, "Have I heard this before?" and the "Do me a favor..." re: Clicks, Likes, Buttons.
Only my observation. Always look forward to reactions here. 🤘🏼
4:50 - No! You count and you tell us your count and you enjoy the song the best you can! :)
is a joy watching you count!! in a second listen do you just enjoy the whole arrangement with the atmosphere?
Once I find the time signature, it's a lot easier for me to relax and get into the groove.
They actually played this as an instrumental for years before they put lyrics to it. There is a video out there of just the original music.
Yeah maybe Adam has a valve-fed system with timber foot pedals for that solo
Love this tune. On a side note, you should check out Rick Rubin's Broken Record Podcasts he's been doing recently with John Frusciante. He's talking a lot about the music theory and a general deep dive into the intricacies of music that I think you'll find quite interesting.
You do you brother! Those of us that have been programmed to count, can really appreciate the genius of TOOL. For everyone else it's brain candy without realizing why...
David to [ ] ell with them ENJOY THIS MASTERPIECE FOR WHAT IT IS
Love is never having to say you're sorry....no need to apologize...
On NO, another rant about David not counting!!! Of course you should count, that's part of your "charm". Just like I should like the video at the beginning so I don't forget... because that is how *I* choose to watch your reactions. LoL
Keep counting and enjoy the song the way YOU like it.
the vast majority of the haters don´t even know how to count.
The bass owned it all the way. Also you counting helps me so keep counting .
I don't get why people have a go at you for reacting like you do. I mean there are plenty of reactions to tool music, if they don't enjoy how you do your videos nobody is forcing them to watch. I like to see someone with theory knowledge break it down that's why I watch you. There's plenty of people who haven't a clue just listening to the music if that's what people want. Keep doing you man
I heard Tool calling....I am here
When you factor in that they don't play to a click it's that much more impressive
David- I am curious when you switched and how your liking these reactions with the ‘OTE’ headphones?-
Hit me up fellow DH fans if It’s in another video already-🤘🏽🔥🌀
DH your reactions are the best!- I enjoy and learn at the same time.
The OTE headphones work just fine, but the clarity I get from my IEMs just can't be matched by OTE headphones.
