Well that took way too 🎉 long. Dude should always have one strapped to him like he’s in combat. It’s Danny Carey. Not covers on a Saturday playing for beer money.
Yup. I met him once, he had to be pulled out of an interview to come meet me, I was insanely nervous talking out of my ass but he really couldn't have been nicer and also was very encouraging when I told him he was my biggest inspiration as a drummer. Apparently Maynard isn't as nice to fans so we decided not to bother him lol
@@chadgarland8771Because most people in general get annoyed and pissed off at every little thing, and highly paid professionals are under a lot of pressure to perform and are known to throw tantrums. Haven't you ever seen Tom Brady scream at his team?
There's no reason to be pissed off or annoyed. That dude changed that shit faster than a Nascar pit crew. 😂 Danny always looks like he's in a good mood.
Others may disagree but I always see it as a fun challenge when something goes wrong. Most of us are so darn bored back there that having to be creative to over come an issue is a welcome test of our recovery skills.
@@robin3 They both did a great job. And I was referring to all of the unseen work all roadies and techs do. But ur right, Danny's drumming is always incredible.
@@robin3 if you think all he does is "replace the snare" you are sorely mistaken. There is so much work that goes into maintaining, micing, and setting up drum kits to sound good live. No small feat.
My wife got tickets to this show for my birthday and asked where I wanted to sit. I said "After 30 years playing bass you have to ask?" We sat right next to Justin.
@@spillmill hahahaha Aw stop lad, won't take that long this time they said they won't be leaving it too long cause if they do they will be too old to tour
That's what he wanted, you can see him looking back like, "heeey buddy! A little help over here!?" Lol. Both handled like complete and total pros, we really shouldn't be surprised. Danny's the greatest living drummer I'd say without question.
Bad Ronald is right. It was smelted down from bell brass cymbals & casted into a snare drum. I heard it was closer to 50lbs. He had an entire kit made. I bet the roadies & tech are happy as hell he’s not lugging that beast around on tour anymore. If a snare weighs 50lbs how much do the kick drums weigh?!
@@matj3296 That and he's fr Kansas. Huge Jayhawks fan. I've been at a Jayhawks home game where Carey was on drums with school band Jayhawks just won the 2022 National Title
In all of the hundreds of concerts Tool has played in, this has to happen more often than not. Same with a guitar string snapping. Techs are the unsung heroes of bands. The band knows their worth, but many fans don’t realize how critical they are.
Lmfao Tell that to all the bands driving around in vans doing it themselves without techs. Techs aren’t critical at all. Helpful? Abso-friggin-lutely!! Worth the money? No doubt! But 80% of bands are happy to have a buddy there to help set up/breakdown and carry stuff.
@@AndrewdrumsOH how to demonstrate you have never played drums or just dont know antything about it in one comment...Have ever heard of muscle memory? nah
Gata love how he replaced the snare hits with Tom hits at a harder strike to mimic the sound until the snare was replaced. This is what makes dc my favorite drummer and def one of the top 3 in the world.
This song he admits is the hardest song to play live out of the entire library. That’s the same smile you would have while riding a four wheeler on ice with a buddy or two towing behind on inner tubes going 60mph
@@rikodesinko I know....I think you missed the joke (a very vague one at that). Decades ago, SRV was performing "Little Sister" live when his guitar string breaks mid performance.

That's like pushing your long sleeve shirt sleeves up to do dishes, then sticking your hands and arms in the soapy water, forgetting that you didn't take the dish cloth out of the drawer to do the dishes with and then all of a sudden someone in the house sees your hands and arms submerged in soapy water and tosses the dish cloth in, without you even having to take your hands and arms out of the soapy water! RAWK! 🤘
The thing that was most challenging for him was getting out of the way of the drum-tech. He had no worries about his playing. Guy is an outstanding drummer!
It’s one thing to keep playing the drums while someone changes one out, but to play those off beat time signatures without missing a beat is something else!
Not only a beast drummer he seems like a real good dude.. and it shows when the drum tec drops that snare Danny hits it and looks back thankful like you sir are my Snare Angel
Love the smile and shrug to the tech. Not angry in the slightest that the wrong snare was placed - a real gentleman right there. How many other prima donnas would make sure the guy was fired and been throwing stuff or even stopped the song to have a tantrum. God bless Danny Carey!
Most drummers would struggle big time with no snare for even a few bars. Danny Carey genuinely doesn't even need a snare to sound this great . He's so good at tearing it up around the WHOLE kit and using his other "tools" (get it) to weave these intricate rhythms into their already complex songs. If anyone can keep playing The Grudge with no snare, it's this man!
@@bowlofnuggets he doesn't he was playing rim shots on his roto drum making it sound like a snare...he gets other snare sounds from his electric pads but he has different settings for different songs n I guess he doesn't have a snare sound on the grudge it's all tribal toms
@@jolemite2639 isn't it so cool how he creates two different sounds on that roto Tom to do the fills rimshots for the snare n the center for the normal Tom sound in subsequent hits
What went wrong with the first one? Sounds pretty dull, did his snare wires come loose or something like that? But how good are both these absolute PRO musicians! The drum tech swapped out that snare MID-SONG and at one of the busiest parts of the track too! He did it whilst not getting in the way of Danny, got the snare out from between his legs and got that new one in there so smooth it couldnt have been executed better IMO! And then theres DC! He barely missed a single beat the whole time and he kept time almost perfectly (given the circumstances) throughout using the rest of his kit expertly. He's very fortunate to have such an array of rack tom, mandala pads, that toilet seat electronic pad he still uses to this day.

If anyone can keep playing The Grudge with no snare, it's this man!
Trust me, Danny would just finish the song if the snares went off. He plays several songs with them off as it is. I'm guessing maybe the head broke and mightve broken all the way, making it useless
Snare drums have a wire that rattles to give it its distinct sound. you can snap a handle to make it tight so it doesnt do it anymore, and it sounds almost like a tom-tom. one of those things broke so the snare didnt POP like everyone likes.
@@VirgoKing89 valid point, you can never really determine who is the best in music, because everyone does something different. that is what makes it art.
This is the hardest Tool drum arrangement as well!!! This happened when I saw them, and I only noticed because I saw him replace the snare mid-song, without skipping a beat.
@@AlexM-sg8fn Yes, lol. Hence my joke. I don't even think a Formula One pit crew could have changed a head that fast. 😂 Although now that I'm thinking of it, I wonder how fast a crew of ppl could swap out a head with the proper power tools? They'd have to be in the ballpark with proper tension too. Hmm. Maybe 25-35 sec with practice?
Danny appears to always be happy. That’s a true sign of humbleness coming from arguably one of the best drummers alive. What an amazing drummer and more importantly….what an amazing human being.
What a LEGEND and very cool dude, had the pleasure of meeting him and Adam in Houston for the Aenima tour, he and Adam were just chilling at the hotel bar and talked for a while. Very good night before the show, even surprised me with better tickets and passes for backstage.

heh
You take that back.
YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW! LOL
Looked like he was doing some rim hits too which I thought was clever to get away with during that switchup
lmao
Actually he only uses 4. They are melted down cymbals

This was during Grudge. His head broke. By the way, that iron cast snare is about 20 lbs. Beast.
Cast iron
I think it is Paiste 2002 snare
So his head broke ? Sounds painful
Bad Ronald is right. It was smelted down from bell brass cymbals & casted into a snare drum. I heard it was closer to 50lbs. He had an entire kit made.

This goes so quickly from scare, to spare snare share, I cannot help but stare...
Why don't I just go eat some hay or lay by the bay? I just may. Wait, that doesn't work here
What I always love about this clip is the good humour Danny chooses to take the situation in.
And he smile 🖤
Saved by his drum tech? The man's so much of a magician he didn't even need no snare haha
Truth
He just banged the toms while he had no snare
loving that bass line
Love the smile on Danny's face when he he got his snare back.Smooth swap out.
Rig techs, the unsung heroes of rock & roll.. To all the techs out there.. I sincerely thank you for your service!!
He's just strikes me as a great person!!!

So I'm guessing rhe head started to break? I can't see why else this would be necessary
It's split down the center. You can see it flapping around
Sounded like the snare was gone . (Totally different when the new shell came back )
I see that now . Blind in my old age
It wouldn't surprise me whatsoever if he just randomly changed his snare half way through a song
True professionalism by both guys all the way around. Didn’t miss a beat.
That bass tone can open up the gates of hell
Snare wasn’t broken, Carey was just gesturing to how good he is.
