Probably going to double back to some Lateralus era stuff next! Also, the intro song is our new single “Snowy Mountains” by LemonTech, which just dropped on streaming platforms today. Obviously a very different vibe from TOOL, but if you liked it you can find it on any streaming platform. See you at the next video!
Let us not forget Danny was 58 or 59 years old here too, absolute Master of his craft is an understatement! It's one thing to play it but he wrote it too. His limb independence, his ability to create melodies, just everything he does is crazy!
Then in concert, he rolls straight into The Grudge, Sober, The Pot, Schism, Parabola, Lateralus, Forty six and two, or any of Tools master pieces with barely a 5 second rest. Danny is a master at work.
There is definitely a reason that his nickname is “The Octopus”. What an amazing drummer and gift to the world he is, and a super nice person, too. ✊🏼💙
The depths of this man's humility knows know bounds, he's even taken time away to play in bands with kids covering Tools songs. You can find them on the Tube. Speaking of kids, you should totally check out the kids from the O'Keafe Foundation coving Tool's song 46&2, phenomenal 🤘 but anyway thank you for an amazing reaction.
This is my favorite Tool song as well. From the overall ambiance, to the message, to the beautiful complexity of the 33/8 section, and the brilliance of Danny's ostinato. It's a masterpiece, and I also quite enjoy that it confounds the closed-minded.
I’m a little late but this is very well said. It seems so complex and it is, but it also has a lot of the pattern of Maynard’s speech rhythms. It’s really just taking small groupings and repeating them unpredictably and then adding independence among the elements. Danny’s limb independence is unparalleled.
This is why Danny is lovingly nicknamed “The Octopus” 🐙 the man can play with all four limbs at the same time with 4 different drum patterns and barely makes any mistakes.
Having seen them live a number of times, you owe it to yourselves to see them live. From the 90's until now, they have always invoked a truly original euphoric experience than I've ever seen with any other live performances.
I learned from watching this footage in the past that Danny is wearing Larry Birds kit. That intrigued me enough to check out Larry. The great honouring the great. Beautiful.
Danny is a huge hoops fan, grew up in Kansas in the home of KU. He wears a jersey from the home team where they are playing, but if there's not a home team he's usually in a Kansas jersey or a LA Lakers jersey.
From the 10min-ish mark in your video, the most impressive part aside from what he's doing with his hands is the high hat on the foot pedal never falling off beat
The Atlanta show was good. I was hoping for a slightly different setlist. I was surprised how much I enjoyed Flood though. Could hear Maynard clearly, he sounded identical to the recorded track and Justin playing the bass during the intro was neat to watch. I have to say that they have The Grudge intro spot on. I doubt there’s few people who could witness that intro and not get amped up.
As a dedicated and patient TOOL fan since '92 ... Her reaction is appreciated! Listen to the Meaning behind they rhythms, music and lyrics and you'll be just fine!
Loving your Tool reactions... Seeing them live is a whole different experience. Spiritual in a way. The first thing you notice is how much Danny and Justin do as far as the ambient sounds go. When most people hear the records, they assume it's a track or a synth. More often than not it's Danny or JC. Keep up the good work!
“He’s so good it makes me uncomfortable.” Best reaction. Anytime I see someone at this level I can’t stop thinking about all the practicing I haven’t done.
The best set up for any Tool reaction video is one person who knows the song and is a fan and one who doesn't know it so well because the giddy joy on the Tool fan's face and the nervous/excited looks over to see if the newbie is enjoying it as much as you want them to is so relatable
I always say, it must be so amazing to be Tool. To experience expression at the highest level well helping the listeners elevate their experience. I feel so blessed to have this band in my life.
I was at this show in Boston. It was incredible and have seen them 2 more times since. Just an amazing band! They came out for the encore and Danny switched from a Bird jersey to a Kobe jersey.
Danny's time signature and changes is insane to me. He's one of the best (if not THE best) in the scene right now (and has been since the very early of the 90s). I love this song, I love Tool. I need to catch them live one day!! :D
the "outro" part of Pneuma to me, as a drummer (as if that would mean anything when it's a Danny Carey video lol) is always special - there is some raw, frantic, brutal energy it; but: controlled. cool. precision work ... the whole song wants to grab you and jump on a rampage but yet, ufff - how he accents with the crash cymbals, the selective yet forcefull doublebass. yea it is damn great work and Danny is a master.
this s my fav tool song representing their talents. BUT my favorite personal song that reflexes my me is INVISIBILE. react to that song please, Semper Fi to all the veterans.
So that whole drum solo-ish section was Swiss Triplets. His ability to play that for that long, staying in time with the click and the band, and keeping the time signatures clearly in his head while keeping his feet alternating. Like, I’m pretty good at drums, or at least I was when I would practice for hours a day. It’s generally difficult to impress me with this particular instrument. But even something that “simple” as a Swiss triplet repeated is enough to tell me just how good he is. He wrote that in there knowing he could do it live every time. Wild.
Not only one of the greatest to ever pick up sticks, age 59 when this was recorded. The master of polyrhythm and the GOAT in my book. Keep Spiraling Out...
Saying that someone is the best ever, or anything to that sentiment is tough because it's all subjective. That being said... Danny Carey is the best to ever do it. #TOOLarmy
There is an imposter in the (bandmate) Tool reactions playlist. i thought the playlist was over and it was playing "suggestions" until I saw/heard it was Tame Impala.
Danny even stated he messed up in the song during the middle. Watch the high hat. If it hadn't been pointed out I'd have never known. Does not take away in the least.
Tool is the band name because it should be used as a Tool to inspire other artists. Just imagine someone like me who is 43 and followed this band for 30 years, they release new music after a 13 year wait and gave us this. Its like I told yall they the best band in the world, you didn't want to believe me, haha. Seen them 17 times in concert, first time was 5 days before 9/11. All the best to you two and your band, love your perspective, ear and outlook. Spiral Out Keep Going
Interesting Fact, Danny had played this live only a dozen or so times ever when this was filmed at the show in Boston in 2019. So Danny's smile which I knew she would catch, was partly the difficulty with the limited times they had played it, and Vic Firth setting up cameras added a little a bit of extra juice like your most complicated song, and 1 take, and go. This and and that old Sober video are the only 2 Professionally shot Tool Live videos in existence, although they have been recording their shows themselves since at least 2012 according to Adam, so one day, hopefully a long time from now when the live shows are no longer, hopefully they will release some DVDs.
Generally, this shows in much finer detail what Carey is doing. How big a part of Tool’s sound he is. The quieter middle section is the one from this video that kills me. Each limb doing a different rhythm yet it doesn’t sound chaotic. Mind boggling. Your point at the end is salient. Danny plays all of it. None of it is computer generated or on a pre-recorded loop
15:03 don’t forget, that whole drum ‘solo’ is not a random crazy traditional solo, that’s the exact written music from the album which makes it that much more incredible. He can recreate that entire song every night with near studio quality every take.
The pads are Mandalas and he assigns them any which way he likes, the intro is laid out like Val said a lot like how a steel drum would be. Those stacks of racks are the brains and sample banks, many samples he collected himself. Although the pads have 127 levels of velocity sensing, Danny's muscles generate approximately 23872 levels of velocity and he hits each tap, thwack, or thump just right every time. I think his muscle memory works a bit like like dominoes, once the song lights off the last motion triggers the next all the way through, like riding a bike or skateboarding, no way to remember the parts, they just occur when they should due to practice and repetition. He also practices with distractions on purpose to help ensure nothing can throw him off. There is a video where the drum tech comes in and changes out a whole broken drum head during a performance and it barely sounds like anything went wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia_Mandala_Drums
If he wants closely there are little things like he flips in the sticks and uses the big ends for certain parts and flips and back to normal or other parts
"Tool", the band is popular for many things, one being the time signatures of their music. To me, top 10 band of all time. Now, John Bonham, of Led Zeppelin is the G.O.A.T. period. Neil Piert from Rush then Carey from Tool.
Just saw these dudes live and I was on mushrooms. I couldn’t help but think that Danny looked so small behind his drum set and I couldn’t shake the fact that he looked like he was running his ass off the entire time. Oh and Justin looked like the devil at one point. Anyway, if you ever see them live, psychedelics is the way to go.
Have you listened to Neil Peart’s drum solo? “RUSH”. I believe you would like this as well. His drum set is probably one of the biggest ones I’ve ever seen progressive rock.
I don't know if she has seen Neil Peart in action yet? His solos are awesome especially one in Frankfurt, Germany. Each generation has their GOAT of drumming. Gene Krupa & Buddy Rich (toss up), John "Bonzo" Bonham of Led Zeppelin, Neil Peart of Rush. Danny now! I could also say Nick Mason of Pink Floyd for his longevity and Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden because they are in their 70's. Who is next gen GOAT? There is a young man named Avery Molek who started out drumming at the age of 3. Avery has his own UA-cam channel. He even jammed with KISS.
I'm 45 and pay for the youtube with no adds. Time is money. Everyone is struggling like myself. I don't ever see adds and forget until watching reactions. 😂 love your content keep up your great reactions.
Cancel that, save your money, and get the official (and FREE) uBlock Origin extension for any browser that isn't a Chromium browser, since that's owned by Google (as is UA-cam), so they'll bug you about ads on those.

No ads, and no ad-extortion, and complete control to exclude any other page elements and annoying presentation tricks you don't like either (like those stupid popup video suggestion buttons at the end while you're still watching your videos?) if you take the time to learn how to use the tools in it.
Probably going to double back to some Lateralus era stuff next! Also, the intro song is our new single “Snowy Mountains” by LemonTech, which just dropped on streaming platforms today.

Show her parabol/ parabola!!!
@@johnw6137 oh hell yeah that’s a good idea!
hi. nice work on your music. congratulations. :) about this video, well i love how she reacts. she gets little mad when u pause. we all do . lol
I'll be checking this one out.
Bass sounds like butter. 😛
i like your music too, you guys sound pretty genuine
Let us not forget Danny was 58 or 59 years old here too, absolute Master of his craft is an understatement! It's one thing to play it but he wrote it too. His limb independence, his ability to create melodies, just everything he does is crazy!
True! The physicality of drumming is no joke. Good thing he’s still looking pretty jacked though 😂
He was 59 when this was recorded in 2019.
Then in concert, he rolls straight into The Grudge, Sober, The Pot, Schism, Parabola, Lateralus, Forty six and two, or any of Tools master pieces with barely a 5 second rest. Danny is a master at work.
"He's so good it makes me uncomfortable." That's the best quote out of all the hundreds of reactions I've watched so far!
Yes. She almost slipped out of her chair. 😂 😂
When they won a grammy, he gave praise to the professor. If you know you know.
Mr. Peart
Bonham too
There is definitely a reason that his nickname is “The Octopus”. What an amazing drummer and gift to the world he is, and a super nice person, too. ✊🏼💙
The depths of this man's humility knows know bounds, he's even taken time away to play in bands with kids covering Tools songs. You can find them on the Tube. Speaking of kids, you should totally check out the kids from the O'Keafe Foundation coving Tool's song 46&2, phenomenal 🤘 but anyway thank you for an amazing reaction.
Danny's smile man, aw I'm in love with him. Just out there being the best to ever do it and having a great time for us.
Took my wife to see them for the first time In November and all she could talk about was the octopus.
His nickname is the octopus 🐙 for a reason
This is my favorite Tool song as well. From the overall ambiance, to the message, to the beautiful complexity of the 33/8 section, and the brilliance of Danny's ostinato. It's a masterpiece, and I also quite enjoy that it confounds the closed-minded.
Very well said.
I’m a little late but this is very well said. It seems so complex and it is, but it also has a lot of the pattern of Maynard’s speech rhythms. It’s really just taking small groupings and repeating them unpredictably and then adding independence among the elements. Danny’s limb independence is unparalleled.
This is why Danny is lovingly nicknamed “The Octopus” 🐙 the man can play with all four limbs at the same time with 4 different drum patterns and barely makes any mistakes.
One time Danny started the wrong song and Maynard the singer turned around and was like “Danny are you high?” 😂
You went on your TOOL journey and now you’re excited to show your friends, you’re one of us now
Saw them live a week ago. By far the best show I've been to.
Having seen them live a number of times, you owe it to yourselves to see them live. From the 90's until now, they have always invoked a truly original euphoric experience than I've ever seen with any other live performances.
I must have heard this a hundred times, but still find it kinda hypnotic
One of the best drummers out there
I learned from watching this footage in the past that Danny is wearing Larry Birds kit. That intrigued me enough to check out Larry.
The great honouring the great. Beautiful.
Oh man, Larry Bird is one of the legends. That's really cool that you picked up that trail.
Danny is a huge hoops fan, grew up in Kansas in the home of KU. He wears a jersey from the home team where they are playing, but if there's not a home team he's usually in a Kansas jersey or a LA Lakers jersey.
Nobody can touch these guys. They're on a whole nuther' level 💯🔥
Bro, I think she'll love the Descending journey, if we're doing a lot of newer stuff.
Yyyyyaaaaassssssssss
I just saw them live on Wednesday and they played Pneuma and Descending. They also played Flood with a fuzz effect on the bass
We just filmed a few but I’ll put that one on the list for the next filming session!
Val, I love watching your reactions. The looks of total amazement and wonder are priceless.
dont forget that its a tool concert. they all sound crisp live
Stunningly brilliant musician. Nice selection
I've probably watched this Danny video a thousand times. Never gets old 👌🏼
Just phenomanal.
From the 10min-ish mark in your video, the most impressive part aside from what he's doing with his hands is the high hat on the foot pedal never falling off beat
This song is definitely one song where I know what Marshall meant. Thankyou Marshall. 💯♥️🇦🇺
I just heard them do this song live two days ago at the State Farm Arena here in Atlanta🔥 it was absolutely mind blowing, the entire show🔥🔥🔥
I’m jealoussss!
The Atlanta show was good. I was hoping for a slightly different setlist. I was surprised how much I enjoyed Flood though. Could hear Maynard clearly, he sounded identical to the recorded track and Justin playing the bass during the intro was neat to watch.
I have to say that they have The Grudge intro spot on. I doubt there’s few people who could witness that intro and not get amped up.
Saw in okc 2 weeks ago and still tear up reliving it
As a dedicated and patient TOOL fan since '92 ... Her reaction is appreciated! Listen to the Meaning behind they rhythms, music and lyrics and you'll be just fine!
Loving your Tool reactions... Seeing them live is a whole different experience. Spiritual in a way. The first thing you notice is how much Danny and Justin do as far as the ambient sounds go.

my favorite fan of tool is a mathematician. he´s literaly loving the math in those drums
He'll really appreciate the math of Lateralus then, based on the Fibbonacci sequence.
Amazing! Cant wait to see more 🔥
INCREDIBLE DRUMMER! A MASTER
“He’s so good it makes me uncomfortable.” Best reaction. Anytime I see someone at this level I can’t stop thinking about all the practicing I haven’t done.
The best set up for any Tool reaction video is one person who knows the song and is a fan and one who doesn't know it so well because the giddy joy on the Tool fan's face and the nervous/excited looks over to see if the newbie is enjoying it as much as you want them to is so relatable
At first I thought she wouldn't say WOW. But she did say my God. Wonderful responses
That was so fun to atch with you guys. Welcome to the ToolArmy🫶
I always say, it must be so amazing to be Tool. To experience expression at the highest level well helping the listeners elevate their experience. I feel so blessed to have this band in my life.
I was at this show in Boston. It was incredible and have seen them 2 more times since. Just an amazing band! They came out for the encore and Danny switched from a Bird jersey to a Kobe jersey.
My thoughts as well. I wish I was as good at anything as Danny is at drumming.
Danny's time signature and changes is insane to me. He's one of the best (if not THE best) in the scene right now (and has been since the very early of the 90s). I love this song, I love Tool. I need to catch them live one day!! :D
Hes one of the best EVER. And one of the nicest guys you could ever meet
"Eyes full of wondeeeeeeerrr"😊
51... been playing since 9... with all due respect to the greats, this is the best, single song performance by a drummer on video...
Seeing Tool live isn't a show.... It's an experience I'd fully recommend to anyone.
Algo love ❤. Keep em’ comin.
If you two really wanna blow your mind you need to go see them live
I’m gonna try to make that happen soon!
the "outro" part of Pneuma to me, as a drummer (as if that would mean anything when it's a Danny Carey video lol) is always special - there is some raw, frantic, brutal energy it; but: controlled. cool. precision work ... the whole song wants to grab you and jump on a rampage but yet, ufff - how he accents with the crash cymbals, the selective yet forcefull doublebass.
yea it is damn great work and Danny is a master.
Yes, Danny is indeed the greatest drummer ever.
I saw online somewhere that he just won best drummer in the 2023 Drumeo awards.
With every stroke he smashes your stress hormones away.
❤simply amazing
Danny Carey is the reason I meditate everyday. I heard he developed a practice and knew I had to as well.
The fact that he has a look somewhere between having the time of his life and bored out of his mind is amazing. Danny is the goat.
For us, it was the best performance we've ever seen. For Danny, it was Tuesday.
Best Drummer all Time Place 26??? No,no! He is Number ONE!!!! Moin aus Schleswig-Holstein.
Love to see Ren make it onto your channel! Enjoyed this.
this s my fav tool song representing their talents. BUT my favorite personal song that reflexes my me is INVISIBILE. react to that song please, Semper Fi to all the veterans.
It's "Invincible" - not "Invisible" - and thanks for your service.
So that whole drum solo-ish section was Swiss Triplets. His ability to play that for that long, staying in time with the click and the band, and keeping the time signatures clearly in his head while keeping his feet alternating.
Like, I’m pretty good at drums, or at least I was when I would practice for hours a day. It’s generally difficult to impress me with this particular instrument. But even something that “simple” as a Swiss triplet repeated is enough to tell me just how good he is. He wrote that in there knowing he could do it live every time. Wild.
Correct except he doesn't use a click track - he *is* the click track.
So beatuful
Never seen someone so visually understand the greatness they were seeing. lol
Danny 'The Octopus' Carey = GOAT
A Man of passion for his craft.
What a fucking masterpiece!
just followed u on amazon music and subbed here.....Lateralus album cover is my only bumper sticker. good stuff 🤘
It's a Masterpiece
Not only one of the greatest to ever pick up sticks, age 59 when this was recorded. The master of polyrhythm and the GOAT in my book. Keep Spiraling Out...
Take her to see them live❤
Always willing to watch this with someone who gets it. Peace/JT
Saying that someone is the best ever, or anything to that sentiment is tough because it's all subjective. That being said... Danny Carey is the best to ever do it. #TOOLarmy
Thankyou Marshall
Mathers that is
💯♥️🇦🇺
There is an imposter in the (bandmate) Tool reactions playlist. i thought the playlist was over and it was playing "suggestions" until I saw/heard it was Tame Impala.
I hope to see reactions from Rush and Neil Peart, in fact they are the precursors of all these great bands.. 😉 good video 👍🏻
Nice review guys 👍🏻
They sound like the record live. They’re amaxing
I'll just say two names for best drummers of all time. Neil Peart and Danny Carey... Both are/were PHENOMENAL.
So much! I try to sleep!! So much goes through my mind! How do I move forward?
I love this because it's so technical. As far as songs though, the breakdown in Rosetta Stoned is still way up there!
Danny even stated he messed up in the song during the middle. Watch the high hat. If it hadn't been pointed out I'd have never known. Does not take away in the least.
Snow mountain...LemonTech. That was a tasty intro. I'll be checking that out.
When both their head nods are off due to the change ups in rhythm...it gets everyone.
Tool is the band name because it should be used as a Tool to inspire other artists.
Just imagine someone like me who is 43 and followed this band for 30 years, they release new music after a 13 year wait and gave us this. Its like I told yall they the best band in the world, you didn't want to believe me, haha.

Thanks guys, another great review. But what I'm really impressed with is "Snowy Mountains". Amazing voice, awesome song. Good job!
Thank you so much! That means a lot! :)
I got to see them in concert last night and it was AMAZING, but I don't know how he can keep up that kind of pace for 2 hours he's not human
❤
you all bobbing your heads to different beats in the same song is pretty funny
If he wants closely there are little things like he flips in the sticks and uses the big ends for certain parts and flips and back to normal or other parts
"Tool", the band is popular for many things, one being the time signatures of their music. To me, top 10 band of all time. Now, John Bonham, of Led Zeppelin is the G.O.A.T. period. Neil Piert from Rush then Carey from Tool.

her face says it all lmfao love it
Danny Carey and Tomas Haake of Meshuggah are next level. Tool is a religious experience and Meshuggah is a visceral one. Equally profound.
Thank you. :)
You should check out [Drum Cam] Eloy Casagrande - Means To An End (Sepultura) video. Tribal drum beats in metal.
I wish i will have those arms at his age, not alone being able to play those patterns
Have you listened to Neil Peart’s drum solo? “RUSH”. I believe you would like this as well. His drum set is probably one of the biggest ones I’ve ever seen progressive rock.
Its always hilarious to watch kids realize sounds can be made organically with kinetic motion
One of Octopus' main influences was late great Neil Peart aka "Professor"
I don't know if she has seen Neil Peart in action yet? His solos are awesome especially one in Frankfurt, Germany. Each generation has their GOAT of drumming. Gene Krupa & Buddy Rich (toss up), John "Bonzo" Bonham of Led Zeppelin, Neil Peart of Rush. Danny now!
