If you're interested in watching more, talented drummers, I'd recommend reacting to one of Baard Kolstad's drum cam videos. Dynamics is his specialty :)
This was my wife’s first Tool show. She’s not a huge fan so I told her to pay attention to Danny. She was blown away and came away with a new appreciation for what 4 guys with instruments can do on a stage.
I agree...Maynard has his vocals recorded lower so it won't over power the music. He let's them do there thing and just adds to it. He is def an instrument
There's passive listening and active listening. I've played music all throughout my house for years and my gf always tells me to change it when "hard rock" 🙄 comes on my playlist. Took her to a tool show and in the middle of EVERY song she'd turn to me and shout "OMG THESE GUYS ARE SO GOOD!" With an unspoken tone of, "like why haven't you plaid them at home before". 🤦🏼♂️
They are all incredibly special in their own way but Danny, to me, is absolutely mind blowing. I do not understand how a human mind can do what he's doing.
well. years and years of training. we all have the potential for great things but it takes dedication and time. on a pro level these people spend 8 hours+ a day on practice. do this for a few decades and you get someone like danny who at age 60 seems like at the peak of his profession. he's as great as ever and no sign of loosing his abilities. i mean look at him. he's friggin buff. and the polyrhythmic stuff... it just shows we he rightfully earned the nickname octopus.
Have watched every, yes, every reaction to this song from curious folk to "drum teacher". This was by FAR the best analysis. You noticed all the nuances and appreciated them, as appropriate. Sub'd
@@DrumRollTonyReacts im surprised u're not noticed the hesitation and mistake on his left hand on 13:15 so far only 1 react guy i saw (among a lot) noticed this mistake
You gave us by far the best breakdown of this video, and of Danny in general. I can't recall a single video of anyone picking up on half of what you did. Thank you for such an enjoyable analysis! 🤘
I'm a guitarist but I sat here with my jaw hanging open in amazement, Jeez, Danny Carey is a drum stick slinging badass. Great reaction Sir. Subscribed
I appreciate people like Danny. They spend the time, energy and effort to show you what people are capable of. One of my favortie pastimes is just watching masters of something perform their craft.
And a little known fact, that Danny Carey as well as being an incredible drummer, is also a professional basketball for the Boston Celtics. Incredible how he finds the time.
What a fantastic review. I love listening to people who knows what their talking about review this. You did such a great job with your knowledge and you can identify a true percussion genius like Danny
Danny is my favorite drummer of all time. He makes drumming look effortless which I know is not! I’m not even remotely coordinated enough for drumming. But I love watching!
I loved your reaction man, I'm not a drummer but it's always so great to see someone knowledgeable of the art watching a marvel in motion as Danny is :)
Great video and reaction. It’s like a better written heavier doors song with good musicians 😂 Danny is a monster, mesmerizing was a perfect description.
0:30 - Those are Mandala drums, and here's a snippet of their properties: "Because a Mandala surface is divided into 128 position rings and can detect 127 strike velocities (greater than 0) it can produce up to 16,256 (128 x 127) individual triggers." They are crazy. :D
Someone asked me once, how do you listen to tool, there is so much to take in at once, my reply was, listen to each song 4 times and focus on one instrument at a time, then it all comes together
The time signature would flow in a grouping sense more focused on the 8th note instead of the qtr. Most likely split splitting up what is divisional by 2 and then odd parts separately. Meaning, we wouldn't count to 33. We feel the patterns 3,3,2 for 7/8 3,2 for 5/8 etc and so on following how the grouping goes. Amazing song and such a cool use of structure
@@DrumRollTonyReacts I know most of this, I’m a hack musician. It still comes out to 33. In my limited musical training I’ve learned you can count however you like. I love your reactions and your musical knowledge!
My favorite song is probably this one (Pneuma). They were supposed to come to Vancouver in 2020, but they had to cancel. I've still never gotten to see them live. Although the other concert I was supposed to see in 2020 was Roger Waters, and that got rescheduled for last year. So, I at least got to see one of my heroes!
Favourite Tool song would have to be Lateralus. Just an all round performance from every member of the band. A masterclass in build up and payoff for a prog rock song. Yeah Maynard may think it's trivial, and people may meme on the composition. But I will always appreciate it for how thoughtful everything was put together in this track - and the whole album really.
Mostly agreed, only difference is my fav Tool song is Intention hands down. It just has such a vibe to it, and the way it transitions into Right in Two, another fav of mine, just perfect IMO
@@PerishingPurplePulsar I won't claim to have a favorite, it depends how I feel. However I do feel that Rosetta Stoned is often overlooked in their repertoire.
@@ngcastronerd4791 Oh I can by no means actually play the bassline, I'm not that good, but I like to put on songs (Esp Tool) and just play by ear, impovise and have fun, it's a great time
People actually believe this is not real. I saw tool in concert in Augusta Georgia. And trust me when I say they sound exactly like this live. The concrete was vibrating.
Mr. Drumroll THAT! was a masterclass reaction 🤔🥰👍. Your expert explanations and technical jibber jabber was excellent 🙏 . You got my subscription brother, much Aloha from Hawai’i 🇼🇸🎆🎊🥳.
I could be wrong, but my read on the setup for his ride cymbal is maintaining stick angle. If you notice the cymbals he wants to hit the edge of are mounted standard, but cymbals he wants to hit the face of are angled. In my opinion this gives him the option to get really quick transitions from hitting the face of the ride to the edges of the crashes around it because he doesn't have to move his wrist at all.
That took while 😂😂 This is really inevitable for anyone interested in Drum Play. Danny is a Monster ! Confessing Tool Fan ... might be obvious watching my Tattoos 😂
Now that we are losing so many of the old school great drummers especially progressive ones like Peart and Moon, I see myself on the lookout for the next guys up. There are a lot of great drummers out there on UA-cam and on tour, but that next level guy is still rare. Two at the top of my list are Danny (Tool, obviously), and Vlad with Jinjer. They've continued to show me more and more how precise they are and how effortless they handle odd meters. Danny is like an octopus with his limb independence, and Vlad has so much precision, speed, and groove. That also both have interesting setups that could teach us all a little about ergonomics.
You should take a look at the soundtrack for an anime named "Katanagatari", the whole soundtrack is worth a listen but the theme "Bahasa Palsu" especially seems like something you'd enjoy reacting to. It's composed by Iwasaki Tawu, same person who composed the soundtracks for Gurren Lagann, Soul Eater and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency. It also features vocals/rap by Lotus Juice which also featured predominantly in the Persona 3 soundtrack and in Battle Tendency's soundtrack as well. Some other tracks that stand out are Bahasu Palsu Jazz 'n Mix(Remix of the first theme), 月刀歌 (Gettouka) and Hanetsuki Imouto
I still think that you should react to Leprous, especially to "The Sky is Red" drum playthrough or the live version of "Slave". You will love Baard Kolstad, i garantee you that
As a non-drummer this has always stood out to me as a masterclass in drumming - the timing, technique, and power, and most importantly the tastefulness of it all. I'm usually unimpressed by fancy tippy-tappy drumming, favouring instead power and conviction, but this is a huge exception. I'm also not a fan of Tool, but this whole song, including the lyrics, is amazing.
hey Tony ! little request for you : Could you check and analyse the song "Drowned In Emotion" by the group Casckets ? In terms of rythmical and melodical variations, I think this is a pretty well structured song ! In my humble opinion, this group should be more known than that after three or four years on the road, their stuff is really good ! I love your content, keep it up man !
i really like this kind of intro dude. thank you so much for just getting to it and being a good watch still instead if fluffing the first minute or so with nonsense! earned a subscriber here man
That is funny because this is the first video that I took my intro out, haha. There is a lot we want to tell the audience but about 50% skip it anyhow. It might feel like nonsense to you but as a UA-camr I promise its not. Hard ground to move back and forth on, but glad you liked the video

@@osimo600rr lol that's funny
Danny Carey is the only drummer that makes you want to play drums, but whenever you see him play drums it makes you want to quit.
👀 I have a long list of those 😅
They are all incredibly special in their own way but Danny, to me, is absolutely mind blowing. I do not understand how a human mind can do what he's doing.
There are a few that can play it, but he wrote it. Amazing the way his mind puts drums to music.
well. years and years of training. we all have the potential for great things but it takes dedication and time. on a pro level these people spend 8 hours+ a day on practice. do this for a few decades and you get someone like danny who at age 60 seems like at the peak of his profession. he's as great as ever and no sign of loosing his abilities. i mean look at him. he's friggin buff. and the polyrhythmic stuff... it just shows we he rightfully earned the nickname octopus.
He is a freaking Octopus.
Agreed!! He's in a league of his own!! Absolute best!!
I remember that I few months I searched "DrumRollTony Pneuma" just to be disappointed for not finding it.
This does put a smile on my face.
Ha ha took me forever
probably the best reaction i've seen to this drum cam. finally, someone who can add to my appreciation of danny's drumming.

The Daily Doug is my fav reaction to this song, and many others, his enthusiasm and insight is unmatched.
Same
"and we've returned" that's the perfect explanation for this song! It's like going on a journey.
I’ve seen this like a hundred times but it still astonishes me. Insane.
Same!! 🖤🤘
Watch this video probably twice a year but I have it on loop for about 2 hours
Danny Carey = The G.O.A.T.
You gave us by far the best breakdown of this video, and of Danny in general. I can't recall a single video of anyone picking up on half of what you did.

My favorite Tool song is Parabol+Parabola. When Maynard screams "ALIVE" in the song, the volume is at max. XD
I'm a simple man, see the Danny Carey Drum cam of "Pneuma" being reacted to, I watch, I like, I leave comment, and I subscribe.
Such a controlled and consistent drummer.
Probably the best take I’ve seen of Danny’s playing on this track! Thanks Tony! Loved it.
I'm not a drummer, but totally feel you on the melodic groove of this performance; so much texture
Excited for this one for sure. Been a fan for 30 years.
The first honest professional reaction!!!
And a little known fact, that Danny Carey as well as being an incredible drummer, is also a professional basketball for the Boston Celtics. Incredible how he finds the time.
it's more impressive that he can trn into a basketball
@@18hot30 professional basketball...not some ridiculous rec league shit....
I bet he dribbles in 11/8 timing
All while being an octopus.* Amazing talent
*there are no rules against an octopus playing basketball.
Danny carey doesnt find the time, the time finds danny carey
Danny brings the thunder and I just love it !
This is in my top 5 UA-cam videos. I'm glad you reacted to this.
..best pneuma reaction ever, and i’ve watched a dozen. been waiting for the technical analysis. nice work, man..
Fave Tool song is Reflection, even without it’s related songs Disposition and Triad, an absolute masterpiece on every level.
What a fantastic review. I love listening to people who knows what their talking about review this. You did such a great job with your knowledge and you can identify a true percussion genius like Danny
Danny is my favorite drummer of all time. He makes drumming look effortless which I know is not! I’m not even remotely coordinated enough for drumming. But I love watching!
Everything I watch that video I'm amazed at how well mic'd and mixed it is for a live show. It sounds amazing!
Proof aliens live among us. The man is not human.
You’re the first drummer reactor that’s I’ve seen notice the FLAWLESS transition from doubles to singles in the intro! 😍
So much respect to you. The only honest reaction I’ve seen
I love reactions from people who actually speak music react to tool.
Good stuff.
Let us not forget Danny was 59 years old at the time of this filming!
One of the best songs ever lyrically and musically 💯🔥🤘. The whole world should be listening to Tool
I loved your reaction man, I'm not a drummer but it's always so great to see someone knowledgeable of the art watching a marvel in motion as Danny is :)
Great video and reaction. It’s like a better written heavier doors song with good musicians 😂
Danny is a monster, mesmerizing was a perfect description.
AND HE'S 61 YEARS OLD!!!!!!! What a BEAST!
His accenting Manyards vocals with the hiHat , snare and later in the song with his cymbals!! iSo sick! What a drummer!
The music is written first. Maynard is accenting Danny's high hat. Your welcome.:)
Best reaction I have seen to the video and I have seen tons
Danny... The Beast... The GOAT!
So glad you got to this one! 💪
Danny Carey is a beast! Nice vid. Favorite Tool song has to be Vicarious for me.
It looked like you looked away when Danny got that big goofy grin on his face. It's one of my favorite things about this videos.
been waiting for this one
Far and away the best reaction by someone who knows drums.
What a masterpiece!
Great analysis. Most reactions are just that: "wow! How does he do that?" You understand it and can talk about it.
0:30 - Those are Mandala drums, and here's a snippet of their properties: "Because a Mandala surface is divided into 128 position rings and can detect 127 strike velocities (greater than 0) it can produce up to 16,256 (128 x 127) individual triggers."

I was at this show in Boston. I love that he’s wearing Bird’s 33 shirt, and I believe the time signature here is 33/4.

Wow, thanks!
Simply, the best.
A classic video, awesome!
Little known fact , Danny is actually a Octopus trapped in a mans body .
I can just imagine the kind of insurance policy on this man's arm's or his hands alone. Absolutely crazy.... 😳

I enjoyed that!
Danny is 58 years old at this point!! Wild
The crazy part is trying to convince people that he only has 2 arms
Thank you 🙏 🙏
True fact. Danny had to create a couple of extra dimensions to make the time signatures work.
Danny is just sick😅😊
Masterclass!
Solo un genio puede tener esa cordinación
That took while 😂😂 This is really inevitable for anyone interested in Drum Play. Danny is a Monster ! Confessing Tool Fan ... might be obvious watching my Tattoos 😂
'the band sounds good by the way' the fans will be stoked... nice work.

you should react to vildhjarta! any song from their new album
Danny actually accents Maynard’s Cadence during the verse. Kieth Moon used to play off the vocals at times too. It’s unique and difficult.
he's got the Neil Peart ride pattern working
As a drummer of sorts, I must say that incredible **pop** on that snare makes me cough in my shorts.
Oh hell yeah!
Next time you watch this video, Tony, watch the hi hat during the bridge.
look at dannys drum clinic of rosettas stoned.. its just incredible dude
pleaaaaaaaseeeeeee

shame this is pretty much the only good Danny cam out there. Would love something like this on The Grudge
12:30 his moves look like right here like the music is controlling his limbs
I'd like to see Thomas Lang covering this on Dannys original drumset, i'm sure he could do it worthy. That would be so cool to watch.
Felt like nice storytelling with drums.
I still think that you should react to Leprous, especially to "The Sky is Red" drum playthrough or the live version of "Slave". You will love Baard Kolstad, i garantee you that
"the rim is beefy!"
Danny Carey's snare drum is custom cast bronze and weighs about 40 lbs.
That's wild. Very cool
When you take into consideration the age and AWESOME stamina Danny has.... this is textbook stuff for the younger generations...
❤❤❤❤
