    I’m so glad Danny said what he did about click tracks and overregulated tempo. I have found that in my playing it’s best to, as the man says here, “let it breathe”. It not only feels better, it sounds better. Overall the recordings I make have a good fit and feel, but you can’t run a click track to them. Steadiness is for machines. Music should always be human.

    I enjoyed drums as a kid and then dropped them behind as I went into college with full time work after pretty much excelling "first third grader in the all district band..." and such. Clem DeRosa was the HS band leader and just before I was that age, the jazz band went on Johnny Carson. But after graduating I kept sticks around. I played air for years. And realized I always loved bands that screwed with time. A key piece was always an excellent drummer. I still play air, and have a pretty good set assembled ;-)

    When you are able to achieve exactly what you were put on this earth to do. You don’t have to trouble yourself with having a gimmick or a “look”. That’s what has made Tool such an incredible band to follow from their beginning up to present day. They don’t follow any of the music industry norms. You’ll be told a radio single should be right around 3 mins long because radio DJ’s prefer it for whatever programming reason. Tool is truly a band who never compromised what their visions were for the band, their albums, the songs, the videos or anything else. All the way down to something as trivial as their backstage touring passes. Truly incredible

    I’m guessing they were talking about Maynard in the beginning. But what’s crazy about tool is they could easily be talking about Justin chancellor…. Or even Adam jones. Not that there’s anything wrong with Adam jones, he creates amazing rifts and in an almost percussive manner sets the tempo and tone for the band. But Adam conducts a lot for tool and utilizes multiple instruments such as the synthesizers for the band, and in doing so I believe he doesn’t try to shine in the same way the other members really shine. He’s really the glue to the band. But Justin chancellor…. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more innovate creative bass player in my life. And I don’t even need to say that about Maynard or Danny. It’s already known they’re at the top of their respective instruments and creative and innovative prowess with them.

    @user-ks3ol3lw3b Před měsícem +7

    There is no good reason for songs to have a perfectly constant tempo as far as listeners go - and music is made for listeners. It's an aid in the recording process when assembling multiple tracks that have been recorded independently, and for splicing sections, like Danny mentioned, but for the listeners, who can't possibly recognize a change of a few bpm over an entire song, it's meaningless. And it any case, a tune may actually call for a little speed-up just like it can call for an increase in volume. No one ever listened to the Beatles counting beats per 10 seconds with a stopwatch. It's insider foolishness.

    From a guitar perspective, Tool is rather simple. I'm not saying Adam is a simpleton because he definitely has a complexity to his playing. From a drummer perspective, Tool is difficult as fuck. I honestly feel that the Drums are the key to that band plain and simple. It's the literal backbone and everything else stems from it. The drumming turns Adam's simple playing into incredible. They compliment each other extremely well!

    I've recorded my drum tracks without a click and the song has a less mechanical feel to it and has a natural flow, but it makes editing a little bit of a nightmare because you can't fly in parts because of a mismatched tempos. Click tracks simplify the process, but it doesn't feel the same.

    Explains why Mike Portnoy had difficulty with pneuma….my bet is the drum time signatures are expressed as phrases in one’s head ….not counted traditionally… all time shifts work if everyone involved does it together …it just starts a new phrase that the band speaks in unison…a totally different language than counting or a click track

    I like to play the classics on piano and never use metronome, it really does hinder the imagination and the magic. You can find so many areas of unique if you dont get yourself trapped in the click.

    Make a band add Maynard and you get it into another level.
