Drum Intro to Tool - Ticks and Leeches

The intro to Ticks and Leeches by Tool is consistently ranked one of the greatest drum recordings of all time. Danny Carey is a beast! Don't mind my sloppy double kick...I'll try to clean it up before the upcoming lesson video.

my hs graduation present was all of tool's albums up to that point. hearing this brings me back so far, thank you!

[@BetterDrummer]

That is one killer graduation gift! Lateralus came out back in my school days as well, and I fell so in love with that whole album.

Exelent pure power

[@rachaels.7779]

This is one of my all time favorite drum beats. I'm just learning the drums. My goal is to play this as well as you. Great job!

[@BetterDrummer]

YES! You can do it, just keep at it 💪
And thank you for you kind words 😊

[@jaysebastian9640]

Are you using ankle technique or the whole leg?

[@BetterDrummer]

Good question! Both? Haha! I'm using mostly ankle on the double kick parts - but sneaking some leg in as well to infuse a bit more power 😁💪

[@damonn44]

I got it all except for the hi hat foot, all goes to shit when i try chuck that in 😅

[@BetterDrummer]

😂 Yes that's the unnoticed hardest part of the intro imo! Good luck working it out, keep at it! 🥁
P.S. - still gonna come back at some point and do the breakdown of everything here, life's just happening for now.
