    This is the pattern played with the feet, the first 16th of each herta is 2 32nd notes, the rest is just 16ths. It adds up to playing herta's in 27/16 with the feet while the hands are playing in 4/4.

    I went to quite a few of the shows on Tool's Lateralus tours in 2001-2002. When the song Triad came up, they'd cart out a smaller drum kit or roto tom/percussion rig for the opening band's drummer to play along with Danny Carey. Dave Lombardo and John Stanier, both amazing drummers in their own right, lent a serviceable vibe to the song, but Thomas kept up with, and even pushed Danny further, going off script trading fours and eights. Won't ever forget it.

    I haven’t seen anyone mention it, but the lead guitarist Fredrik Thordendal is using like a breathalyzer midi thing and that’s why he’s making all those cool noises and solos with the guitar. A great example to hear it would be on the track Future Breed Machine, off their album Destroy Erase Improve.

    Yeah I love how throughout the song - the bass drum pattern is similar - but it shifts around underneath the hats and snare.
    Almost like if it were on a computer - you could copy the bass drum pattern and paste it randomly underneath the back beat In different positions.

    • @eyemoeba

      i believe that that is essentially the approach they use to create some of their stuff, and often not programmed by a drummer, so that working it out as a piece to play with 4 limbs becomes the challenge. and then you have to learn how to play it well enough to gig..... the reactor here said he wasn't smart enough to listen to it, and that is about right. noone is. tomas has -by his will and determination to his art- learnt how to play it but you feel he is flying by the seat of his pants and the whole thing is about to come crashing down around him. thankfully he's done his homework.

    Here's all the variations (by the way it's all 4/4 except there's one 2/4 bar between the first 2 verses):
    First verse:
    ooo-o (3/8)
    Second verse:
    ooo-o-o-o (5/8)
    After this I use these verses in [brackets] as an alternative way of showing the rhythm
    Before "chorus":
    ooo-o (3/8) but the 4/4 backbeat changes to 3/8 as well
    [3]
    "Chorus":
    Da-da-ooo-o-da-da-ooo-o-ooo-o-da-ooo-o
    [Da-da-3-da-da-3-3-da-3]
    Repeated but the notes on da-da go in groups of 4 so the melody shifts around the rhythm
    By the way trying to tap the 4/4 pulse to the rhythm of this is a fun challenge!
    After chorus:
    ooo-o-o-o-o-o-ooo-o-o-o-ooo-o-ooo-o-o-o-
    [7-5-3-5]
    Think of it as groups of 7, 5 and 3 and 5. That just repeats for 32 bars with a melody change in the middle I think and then the next section
    Bridge 1
    ooo-o-ooo-o, ooo-o-ooo-o-ooo-o-o
    [3-3, 3-3-3-o] (extra 8 note)
    Bridge 2
    ooo-o-o, ooo-o-ooo-o-ooo-o-o, (ooo-o-o, ooo-o-ooo-o-ooo-o-o, ooo-o-o, ooo-o-ooo-o-ooo-o-o, ooo-o-ooo-o-ooo-o-o)
    [3-o, 3-3-3-o, (3-o, 3-3-3-o, 3-o, 3-3-3-o, 3-3-3-o)]
    Repeated pattern is in parentheses
    Solo
    ooo-o-ooo-o-ooo-o-o, ooo-o-ooo-o-ooo-o-ooo-o-o
    [3-3-3-o, 3-3-3-3-o]
    groups of 3 hertas and 4 hertas, but every X repeat there's a group of 6 I think, just because
    After solo it's just the "After chorus" part without melody, and after that back to the first verse with a 3/4 feel (but it's still 4/4)

    It’s a steady groove in 4/4 all the way through. Even though the guitar patterns might seem like they repeat in an odd timing, they are actually just flowing around a solid 4/4 framework. Think of it like: the “patterns” are just different parts of a greater rhythmic phrase. The phrases are usually quite long (some more than 20 bars). But it all groves in 4.

    Summing it all up:
    * All of their songs from a certain point of their career till now are 4/4. All songs, all the way. So no time signature changes.
    * The guitar riff which the kicks follow either cycles around the 4/4 beats without resetting, or is cut off at the end of 4 bars to restart, or has a fill (breaking the pattern) to match the reset.
    * At the solo section, the riff goes 333 222 111 1, 333 222 111 333 3, 222 111 333 3, 222 111 333 222 2, 111 333 222 2, 111 333 222 111 1, repeats. But at the end of the super-meter it changes to match the reset, usually repeating the previous pattern or extending the current one.
    Loved your style of reacting and analyzing the song. Playing it right straight of the bat is nice, and when I started to miss your history with the band and song you explained it in one of the pauses. I also like how you go back 5 or 10 to listen to parts again.

    End has two variations which I don't remember correctly, but has similar ideas and last is same as first. These feet patterns are not really that hard, but when you try to add hands over these, you die inside. Then you should only be able to do that almost 8 minutes in a row and wish you don't have to amputate your legs because of exhaustion after that "small" herta exercise.
