Original video: • Danny Carey | "Pneuma"...
I love how every reaction of this video that I've watched starts off like "Yeah we'll have a look at what he's doing and break it down, see what's really happening" and ends like "wtf he's an alien".
this is so incredibly true
Haha I actually laughed out loud to this comment
And they say its easy (just polly rhythms) and never upload a cover video of them playing this song! Theres only one danny!
@@jonbassjonesI did too, like really hard! 🤣
According the Danny Carey. Interview with musicradar "We were actually playing live. It’s a sad thing when almost every band you see isn’t playing doing that, it’s the clicks and backing tracks that are keeping time. I’ve never played to a click on stage in my life…”
Click Track : what meter are we in ?
Danny : all and yes .
Wow! This video got more views in a day than most of my videos combined have ever gotten! Things I learned from the comments:
- The roll at the beginning is in time!
- Looks like Danny doesn't play to a click.
- The verses are in 33/8, although not everyone seems to agree.
- Some people really liked my explanations/breakdown/energy/etc. Thanks a lot for that!
- The Tool Army is strong!
- Danny Carey is 58!!!
Thanks for all the views and comments, guys! This is not my usual type of video, but I might make more in the future!
React to invincible please
The verse progression is definitely in 33/8.
I've seen people mention different ways of counting it, but I personally feel it as a six-bar phrase, kind of broken into two parts: 6, 6, 5--6, 5, 5 (eighth notes).
What I think gives people different feels is the first note when the verse progression starts (timestamps for the original video: 1:27, 1:44); I've seen some people say they hear that as the downbeat in a bar of 2/4 or something, but I think of it as being on count 4 of the last bar in the phrase (which would be 5/8).
I think you did a great job displaying a drummers point of view on one of the most impressive and talented drummers on this planet. Haters will hate, criers will cry, reactions are a "personal view" without pandering and that is exactly what you have done. I thank you brother, I have watched this video a dozen times and it never gets old. Great job and keep them coming.
Don't worry about the haters man, cool vid. I'll add one more thing about the bridge that I find incredible. When he eventually goes into the swiss army triplet sticking pattern that you identified, he's playing them in the form of 16th notes (rather than triplets) and keeping the 4/4 quarter note on his kick and hi-hat. The best way to count that as a drummer is in 3/4 in my opinion, because then you're sticking pattern and the kick drum seem to line up every measure, rather than changing and taking 4 measures to cycle back to the beginning. Hard part is trying to count in 3, while the rest of the band is playing in 4 (or one measure of 3 and one of 5 is how I feel it). Danny's playing is always mind boggling to me.
you should check out Johnkew's cover of Rosetta Stoned, its sorta epic.
As a guy who loves drums I love to see a guy who loves drums loving Danny Carey loving his drums
And I'm just a guy who love drums, reading a comment from a guy who loves drums, who loves drums loving Danny Carey loving his drums
LOL I'm a simple man, I'm the lead drummer of my church, who loves drums, reacting to people loving drums, who love's drums himself!!!
Funny shite mate
As a guy who is not a drummer, I love all the love
You failed to mentioned the outstanding CGI work to hide his other two arms...🤪 This was cool to have a drummer’s perspective (and to see someone else’s head explode 🤯)
😂😂😂
rgeorgek42 The man is seriously a human octopus.
That's a good one." CGI" in reality yo just can't see them because they move too fast.
Every time I watch that video, I’m blown away by his power, skill and rhythmic genius. Thanks for sharing your reaction and commentary too.
😂 "I think it goes like, I have no idea" He is a beast.
I am not an every day listening tool fan... the same way I don't put Mozart into my car while driving.. but the amount of respect I have for them is off the charts. This song, objectively is one of the best I have ever heard. A true masterpiece start to finish. I can't even imagine what the writing room looks like when composing something like this. I listen to mostly hardcore and metallic hardcore and LOVE polyrhythmic mathcore like the DIllinger escape plan and Converge etc.. But I must stop and tip my hat to Tool. Such a masterpiece
No click...Danny Carey stated he hates them
Makes it that much more impressive, doesn’t it?
The click plays to Danny Carey.
Gobo Winkler The Chuck Norris of drums
That doesn’t mean they never use them (I’ve definitely heard one on a making of for one studio track). For this song, they might need to since the guitar and bass both use a fixed delay. But they also might not need it since the guitar or bass always starts off setting the tempo before he comes in, so maybe not. (At least there are no sequenced synth sounds or anything to sync up to, the synth stuff later is played live by Adam.) I’m going to guess not unless they really need to sync to something automatic.
@@matthewv789 Rolling Stone did an interview with the VFX guys for Tool last month. Confirmed they don't use a click, the guys manually cue the lightshow because Tool don't use a click track.
All these other reactors trying to figure out what time signature Danny is playing. "Is it 12/8?" "Is it switching to 13/8 or 11/6?" Haha. Danny is playing in his usual time signature: Squirrel/Infinity. ;-)
They are playing in 33! Easiest way to count it for me is to think of the first bass note as the pickup note, then count 7 twice, and then 5 double time. That means two rounds of 14 to get 28, plus the 5 at the end for 33. Easy, right? Lol.
It's 17/8, apparently Adam Jones confirmed, it sounds right to me. 5x3 1x2 if you like.
Tool fans love exaggerating. ua-cam.com/video/EShM-EOAlj4/v-deo.html
33/16 (7/8 - 7/8 - 5/16) (12312312312312-12312312312312-12312)
33/16 (7/8 - 7/8 - 5/16) (12312312312312-12312312312312-12312)
25/16 (6/8 - 5/16 - 4/8) (123123123123 - 12312 - 12312312)
33/16 (7/8 - 7/8 - 5/16) (12312312312312-12312312312312-12312)
You can also write 33/16 - 33/16 - 28/16 - 30/16 nothing changes at total.
You can also count it as 7/4 7/4 5/8
All of them and none of them, at the same time
Danny's performance should be linked to an on line dictionary under the words "precision", "power", and "polyrhythm". Let's not even mention speed because this dude makes speed tired.
could'nt say it better myself ......
“Cause he can” yep. He will go down as the best ever in my opinion. Vic firth needs to do this every song every show. The man is almost 60.
finally found a reactor who knows what's up. everyone else is just kinda like "wtf is going on". good to get at least something of an analysis
lol, pretty spot on comment. I like all these drum reactions to this song, but at least this guy is TRYING to grasp a time signature and analyze the song from a drummer's perspective. everyone else just kinda says its amazing and impossible lol.
Everyone is doing a version of this, where they review Danny Carey drumming Pneuma. You have the best one.
By far the best one
You can tell he plays.
I concur good sir
This guy and Key of Geebz are definitely best for this. This guy gives a great drum breakdown, and Geebz gives a much more generalized overview of each instrument but also breaks down how the meters are progressing within the time signature of the song. Both have brought so much clarity to the beat and flow of this song.
Geebz in particular unlocks the hack to head banging to this song. Lol it has a steady driving tempo, just a lot of meter changes within it. But the tempo NEVER changes through the whole thing. It’s what Danny locks into with the hi-hat during his solo section. You’ll notice upon another listen that that persists through every section of the song.
Lmfao @ all 5 of you
Danny is probably the most creative drummer I heard and watched live. He is just amazing.
"We'll try to figure out what metric this actually is"
Me: good luck with that!

This comment plus the click one!! Made my day!!
The verses are 33/16, but when the "pitch" of the riff goes up is a 25/16
33/16 divided in : 5+3+3+3+5+3+3+3+5 (x4)
25/16 divided in : 5+3+3+3+3+5+3
have fun!
Correct, this is what Adam said in an interview - and it's surely not a simple 4/4 or 1..2..3..4 as the genius Pat Flanigan counts :-)
Ignore the negative comments, they are all just wastes of oxygen. Anyone with half a brain can see that Danny's timing signatures and his epic power is beyond comprehension.
A video of Danny like this is long overdue and is a masterpiece.
I haven't drummed since HS, but Danny has always amazed me with his skill. So glad a pro like you did this vid - seeing someone who KNOWS be blown away show just how impressive Danny is. One of the greats!
Thanks for the nice comment! Definitely one of the best drummers of all time!
I dont go in for best or greatest ,but damn he is in rarified air. Ive seen them multiple times and I cant take my eyes off of him. Effortless power and sophistication
Every tool song is simply a masterpiece and fear inoculum is the most complex album since the dark side of the moon. Amazing peace of art. DK drumming is so complicated, but not overplayed like many progressive drummers do all the time. He is the perfect and the biggest part of tool puzzle.
Who is DK?
Danny Kramer?
invincible 7:50-8:00 is the pinnacle of drumming!!!
@@P0lkoli Donkey Kong
I agree with every word v.v.
YOU GOT IT ALL BROTHER! Danny IS The metronome.. One of the GOATS!
Thank you! I've watched three of these "Drummer Reacts to Tool - Pneuma Live" videos and this is by far the most insightful
Thanks Bruce!!
Because this sh*t never gets old, check out another reaction video for this live Danny video. His channel name is KillerAP. He goes deeper than most reactions go (I.e. rhythm combos and changes & music theory).
It's astounding!! The amount of *professional drummers* who are posting videos & reactions to this Vic Firth video --- *EVERY SINGLE DRUMMER IS JUST BLOWN AWAY AT DC's SKILLZ!!*
I love the fact that Danny is getting all of the credit that he truly deserves as a living legend! It's so very rare that us humans recognize greatness while its occurring. We generally take a generation or so to recognize true brilliance --- But this is finally not so with Danny Carey, and it's a truly beautiful thing that we all get to share in -- *together!!!*
Much love from Pennsylvania!!

This man never ceases to amaze me. It looks like he almost got ahead of himself at 11:23, but still an absolutely incredible performance. Thanks for your analysis!
I thought I was the only one that saw that! Nice one!
The video starts as a professional review on another professional fellow drummer and turns into a real fan reaction to a semi God. Love it!
I’ve been watching one Pneuma Drum Cam reaction video a day for some time now and I love how everybody goes from confusion to amazement to exitement to adulation.
Watched a couple of the reactions to this video, and yours is the best by far. So much in detail, but also just enjoying it.
Wonderful reaction. If coronavirus has given us anything, it’s the time to watch people like you watch people like Danny Carey x
Isn’t it a strange thing?!
Love your energy man! It feels like watching Danny alongisde you and reacting together. Keep it up!!!
having an overhead spot focused and centered on *just* the snare is just, well, gorgeous.
this was my first time to visit your channel, and i had a great time here. thanks for the fun! liked/subscribed
I loved watching you break this down and really appreciate this song and his drumming. I think he's phenomenal. Subscribed.
This is hands-down the best video I've seen explaining this genius of a drummer. Love the reactions.
Great breakdown. I loved your honesty and engagement in this video!
Good ol Swiss army triplets. He went grapenuts with them during drum n bass break in Rosetta stoned.
awww, really enjoyed your excitement and emotions. Can't stop watching this video of Pneuma. Love Tool.
Thanks Pat for the explanation in the video... i was missing that in other reaction videos! Greetz from Germany :)
Danny carey inspiring drummers and crushing their dreams all at the same time , booooooh, hahhhhh, tstststtststststst ❤️
Awesome good to hear from someone who knows what they’re talking about- just saw Tool in February. Outta this world 🤙
Dec 22 and you are awesome, I’ve already watched these Danny Carey video on 20 different channels and you help me understand it more than all of the other 19 combined well done
Amazing video man, love the descriptions!
I discovered tool today by stumbling across the original vic firth video and was stunned. I have watched it now multiple times(as well as other songs) and then had to find drummers reaction to it as I am not a drummer. I so delight in your commentary and amazement. thanks
Thank you. You put the first reaction video together that I have seen where the person actually knows what the pads are he is playing.
I love this Band. So I've watched a LOT of reaction videos on them and especially this song. You have done an awesome reaction. You know your drums and music. Of the many many many I've seen.
I gotta say top 5.
Good job.
I've watched that video a few times and I love it ever damn time! I enjoyed watching your reaction as well! I'm hoping he has a video like this for 7empist too!
It's so pleasant to listen to people know what they are talking about when they address Tool. Keep doing what you are doing
Love your commentary. Good stuff man.
Danny is insane! I was lucky enough to see them at a small bar when undertow came out right up against the stage.
Dude more of these and I'll sub for sure, loved your reaction
Subscribed, first reaction video I've ever really enjoyed your commentary was perfect.
I watched a ton of these and you are the only drummer who is able to express some of what Danny is even doing.
great reaction! probably the best drummer vs. drummer ive seen
Loved watching you react, great video
This was so great. I love that we all love Danny so much lol.
Watching someone who knows what they're talking about breaking it down was cool. Thanks Pat.
Reaction videos to this are everywhere but i enjoyed yours the most. It was the most technical breakdown i've seen. I dont know shit about drumming, but I trust your expertise :) Good stuff man.
Thanks Mike! You're exactly the kind of person I made this video for. Glad you liked it!
A comment on your comment regarding the e-drum diddle in the intro. I dont think he is slowing down at all, I think he is climbing down subdivisions. :)
Great video, cheers!
Not a drummer but this is definitely what he is doing. On Rosetta Stoned, he does it as well. Really cool effect.
Loved it! Thanks man
I have never been able to understand how to play music but your explanation makes things a bit more clear to me about music and drumming especially. Thank you, I agree that this is one of the best reactions to this video I’ve seen
Love this!! Nice one mate
I’ve seen a million of these. What a great fucking song and you did a great reaction. Best one I’ve seen. Do more.
Otherworldly... Carey is easily one of the best ever percussionists. Right there easily with Neil Peart R.I.P. God rest his soul. Tool is incredibly TRIBAL. At times I lose complete control of myself like I'm in another state of mind. They are one of the few Super Bands that come once a millennium.
Thank you for not carrying drum sticks into this reaction video. Have seen a few lately where someone will show up at the start of Pnuema to help us break it down, optimistically carrying a set of sticks. I just wanna hug the guy and gently take them away, "there there, son, you won't be needing those today. You're better off without, trust me." One guy looked like he was going to just take up knitting. Good work, I loved how you couldn't help but react to some of the fills....it's like instant joy.
one of the best reacts videos of pneuma live! bravo!
Ah thanks!!
I've watched so many reactions to this song and yours was great..and informative. I'm not a drummer but am a huge Tool and Danny fan. Such an amazing talent..the octopus observed in his natural habitat!
Thanks Maralynne!
You put things into perspective very well. It matters.
By far the best reaction of that clip!
He's over 60 now. Manimal. Just amazing.
I rarely comment on reaction channels, most of them seem pretentious to me. But i must say i loved this format. You are clearly enjoying what you are watching. Plus there's so many new things I learnt from this single video. You earned a sub. Cheers!
Awesome commentary man I learned a lot
I knew shit about drumming, now, thanks to your explanations i know a bit...awesome job man, keep it up
Best reaction I’ve seen yet!
what a great react video dude, thanks for sharing
Among all the reaction drum videos of this song, I really enjoyed your reaction.
The best reaction I've seen to this video. Well done sir.
Best drummer reaction vid I’ve seen. 👌
Great video man!!!
Very enjoyable! Thanks!
I loved your commentary! :D
good stuff man, i love danny but know nothing about drumming. the man is a beast
You get it sir!! Thank you!
Really enjoyed your reaction!
People don’t realize how hard it is to play play poly rhythms and make it sound phenomenal
Great video. great analysis. Got a new sub.
Discovered your channel with this video.. you got so much quality content, you really deserve so much more subscribers! Anyways great reaction :D
Wow thanks Tobias that’s really appreciated! Glad you like my other stuff!
Reaction to a TooL song......I’m in. Thanks to COVID-19 there are a lot more of them out now. This is easily the best one yet. Well done 🤘🏼mine as well continue down the rabbit hole with more TooL Songs from previous albums.
Thats why he is the man !!!
Great vid my dude
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - 1, 2 - 1, 2... I have no idea." This.
Haha I love this so much. I did a piano cover of it, and when I first heard it, I had exactly the same reaction! I was like, “make up your mind,” in reference to all the time signatures changes. I had to practice the whole song straight for 3 hours to get it 100% into a “muscle-memory-pocket.” But after that... game on. Let’s go. Super fun!
Would love to hear/see your piano cover to this!
Amazing vid! 👍
I love how you explain everything, from techniques to material of the kit, thanks a lot for that!
And your enthusiasm is amazing.🤘
Please do more Danny Carey, the Tool Army will be right here listening!
Wow thank so much! This was my first time making a video like this and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Will definitely do more in the future.
Ill add on to your biggest vid. Loved your insight. As everyone else has said...
Love from the Tool army!
I'm not trying to dissect his drumming.. but it seems to me that when he plays, he's accenting the vocals with his hits(on the snare or bass/cymbal crash. Idk, he's a genius!!!
You by far have the best reaction video.. Most of the these drum "experts" or "teachers" are like "whoa!" I have no idea what hes doing or "that's so cool!" without any analysis
Thanks, Ryan!
I'm not a drummer brother, but I feel the same way, it takes your breathe away, deep sigh, and wow, greatest of all time?
I enjoyed this reaction!
This man is a powerhouse.
Hope we get to see you react to basically anything from Tomas Haake (Meshuggah)
Great commentary. I'm learning a little. :)
