      Im sure part is counting, but I know when I play guitar myself to weird time signatures without a click or a drummer, I can keep it all by just muscle memory and feel. I might not be as tight with timing but I have the timing down that way. So I imagine part is counting, and part is just super muscle memory and comfort, and just knowing what the groove sounds like in your head.

    Watched him play about 15 years ago in a small club in pittsburgh with a band called Pigmy Love Circus. Dude was in the prime of his career and still broke down his entire kit by himself. Also regularly see him at The Baked Potato where he sometimes does little jazz gigs. Everytime he carts in every piece to his kit and sets it up. A lot of those nights he played jazz he had also played all day with tool writing the new album.

    The "pad" with the drumhead on it is a Korg Wavedrum. It is electronic, but it's not a trigger-based solution. It takes the actual tone of the drumhead and processes it to make different sounds. This means you can play it with hands, brushes, sticks, mallets, etc and get completely different sounds. It's a really cool unit.

      @@ltrzepalko Don't confuse inconsistent time keeping with "tHe HuMan ElEmEnt" - some of the best drummers are capable of keeping time to a machine-like level of consistency, even without a click. It's their ability to work fluidly within that time on the micro-level without actually affecting its consistency on the macro-level of a song that separates actual live 'unassisted' if you will drumming from today's horridly quantized(you better be staying up on your Rick Beato content!) recorded drumming/music. It's the ability to insert a fluid fill inside of an utterly ridgid time structure, it's not a constantly wavering time due to a drummer's variance without a click vs with a click.
      If a click changes the way you sound, that isn't the click's fault - [assuming that the song fits within one of course] Danny Carey isn't just miraculously going to sound 'inhuman' or like a 'robot' just because you put a click in his ear
      Different tools for different music; what matters is the MUSIC, NOT how it's made or how it's played. Make it/play it however the hell you want, however best works for you. You've gotta find out if someone is using a click before you can criticize them for it after all...

      His power and physicality are crazy good for his age. 58 isn't really "old" these days, but it's still pretty damn unusual to be doing what Danny does here at nearly 60. Most drummers will experience something of a drop off in some facet of their game once they reach their late 40s to early 50s (akin to how someone in their mid-to-late 30s will often begin to noticeably drop off in combat/contact sports) but Danny is still killing it and doing so much better than a lot of aging drummers....

    Man, I thoroughly enjoyed the shit out of this. To hear a drummer react to Danny was a blast for me. I dont know drums or time signatures. I just absolutely love listening to the kit, especially when jamming to Tool.
    Your no bs, laid back, attention to kindness, and knowledge was very welcoming and entertaining. First video I have seen on your channel. Im subbed now and looking forward to more of these!

    Seeing your raw, honest appreciation of Danny's performance just made my day. Thanks for doing this video, it was great to feel that sense of wonder along with a fellow drummer.

    It’s so encouraging as a drummer to see him have even the tiniest flub

    What I love about drums is there is a moment when you listen to this genius playing, your heart beatings are aligned with it and is when the chills starts.

    Schools are closed at least until April here, and I'm out of work until then so ya know... you get bored and decide to do more reactions to metal drummers? I'll watch 'em.
    Danny Carey is something else... been an idol of mine since high school so I'm interested to see how this lands for you. Take it easy and wash yo hands!

    Brother, that was the best reaction to this vid that I've seen. Real-time knowledgeable reaction without getting too hyperbolic and admitting when the skills were beyond you. Nice work!

    I appreciate you explaining what he does. As someone just beginning to understand drumming it really helps breaking down bands I love. Tool being one of them for sure

    Feel lucky to have seen this song live, they played here in New Zealand last weekend of February, then less than 2 weeks later our government cancelled public gatherings (on the same weekend I was supposed to see Deftones 😭?

    I believe what you're asking about @3:09 is a Korg Wave Drum, Danny refers to it as "the toilet seat" and yes it's a programmable electronic drum.
