You can sense when he gets back to the main section, he's no longer really counting but instead is just feeling and filling in around the groove instinctively. What most people wouuld take to incoporate into groove and muscle memory after weeks of rehearsing he can do after one listen and one play through, and gets something playable. What a gun.

    These kinds of videos bring up an interesting, and I think, under-explored idea of songwriting styles from a drummer's perspective. Because, we know Dennis is never really "off-beat" but, I think his internalized feeling of basic song structure produces an interesting interpretation. Both his style and Tool's rely on "unexpected" accents, so the mix of the two is something you can't really write, which is the value and novelty of this video concept.

    Dennis is definitely in a class of his own. And I already knew he would kill it, but it's still amazing how much he flowed seamlessly through all those different time signatures.
    God let me just fangirl over Tool for a second here and just show you guys how crazy Dennis is for trying to navigate Danny Carey's time signature maze -
    Schism's first half is very obvious - alternating 5/8+7/8 (or 6/4, anyway you want to count it) in the verse section and the 13/8 in the chorus. But after the 3rd verse, things get quite intense like some unexpected time signature jumpscares - the 3 bars of 6/4 + 1 bar of 11/8 in "The Poetry that comes..." section. Or the 4 bars of 7/4 + 1 bar of 5/4 at the end of the 3rd chorus. Then comes a silent 9/8 section. Also it's quite amazing how Dennis interpreted and played the 27/8 (6/8 + 6/8 + 6/8 +9/8) section - the "Cold silence has..." section. Then after a 1 silent bar of 8/4, Danny comes in with 1 bar of 10/4 then two bars of 8/4 followed by a powerful 1 bar of 5/4. Then we have a section - the "Between supposed lovers" section - in 14/4 (9/4 +5/4). And nearing the end, we have beautiful 1 bar 6/4 tom + crash fill which then leads to 4 bars of 7/4 and 1 bar of 3/4. And comes some powerful 6/4 Triplet tom patterns, the "I know the peices fit" section. And finally, Danny finishes the song off with some intense 4/4 Triplets and Sextuplets double bass
    Sure it's not Dream Theater level of time changes or Animals as Leaders level of Meteic modulation but what Tool does best is to make all of *THAT* multiple odd time changes sound musical

Like the OP mentioned, some bands really try to make the tricky timing flow in a musical way as opposed to others who don’t necessarily try to do that or even bands like Dillinger Escape Plan who have have many songs with really jerky time changes…which are cool concepts to explore.

    I remember seeing Dennis Chambers with John McLaughlin years ago. His drumming was so insane, everybody in the band just had to laugh when he got to really take off on his drumsolos. It was a truly mindblowing experience. Been one of my favorite drummers ever since. It's so cool to see his take on such a song. Different for sure, but he still nails parts in the sense that it sounds interesting. Imagine giving him a couple of more attempts, bet he would play around with it a lot more.

    Dude, this was amazing. I hadn't seen the original video before (though I've seen a lot of drumeo vids) and I gotta say: wow. Just wow. He could have totally phoned that in but - and I'm speaking as a drum-illiterate guitarist - what he came up with was amazing. Those quick 'snap-backs' and funked-out snare patterns were absolutely awesome. The interlude was tasty af as well. Maybe I'm totally off, but I'd be beyond thrilled to have this dude come up with drums for any metal/hard rock riffs or songs I'd written.

    I've seen Dennis live a couple of times. The man is a legend, saw him with Mike Stern on his tour, it should have been the Dennis tour he did no less than 8 solos. Lookup him with Tetsuo Sakurai and Greg Howe there are some great live clips of them.

I’m also a drummer and instructor of 30 years

    As a fellow drummer, I love the fact that he wasn't able to hear the drum tracks. It was impressive how he got how the drums should sound like, in his own interpretation, and I think he nailed it.
    Tool is not an easy band to cover, regardless of what instrument, but the drums especially can be challenging to say the least.
    Danny is one of the greats, and my personal favorite next to Dale Crover from the Melvins.
    And side note: you don't talk too much, I enjoy your comments and you have a great attitude as well. Keep up the good work!🤘🏻

    A true lover of music and great artist. Appreciative of others and a master of his craft. Crazy talent. He was enjoying what he was doing for sure. He couldn’t hate it at that time because he didn’t know how the drums should go. He was into his zone interpreting his own way through the song like a true artist.
