Tool is in a category all by themselves and I think that they are the greatest band ever

[@CrazyAwesome]

They really are in their own category, super unique!!! 🤘🎸💙

[@juggy-ik7qy]

And they are the greatest band ever.

[@BloodMoonDarkSky]

You are correct lol

[@dlwitt]

Tool is it’s own genre!

[@CrazyAwesome]

@dlwitt Truth bro!

[@jakefromstatefarm1405]

Independence is the word you're looking for, Danny had incredible limb independence to keep seperate rhythms like that 👌

[@CrazyAwesome]

True! It's so difficult to independently move your hands and feet like this in a rhythm. But Danny kills it here!!!

[@johnfarley4492]

Danny "has" incredible limb independence. Saw them in 2022 and he was the highlight of the show. Was awesome.

[@brianreyes2891]

This is what it must have felt like watching Michaelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel.😂

[@CrazyAwesome]

Great description 🤣🤣🤘🎸💙

[@DylanSterling]

I was at this show, in the 4th row, center. It was *amazing*.

[@CrazyAwesome]

@@DylanSterling that's amazing bro!!! Were tickets expensive?

[@DylanSterling]

@@CrazyAwesome I think they were about $500/each (I took a friend, so $1K). The tickets we had included a Tool hoodie, a full course meal before the show, listening to sound check, and a group photo with 3/4 of the band (Danny, Justin, and Adam). Keep up the good content here. 👍

[@CrazyAwesome]

​@@DylanSterlingokay that's actually expensive but sounds worth it if you love the band that much! Sounds like a great time and definitely will keep it up!!!

[@danzusername]

Both feet both hands all keeping different rhythms is mind blowing. Most people can't even rub their belly and tap their head at the same time.

[@CrazyAwesome]

Right?? Insane work here!!!

[@matto7354]

So glad you did this after playing it. He is 56 years old at this show too. In my opinion he is the GOAT. I don't know how any member of the band even conceive of thier individual pieces. They are the best.

[@CrazyAwesome]

56??? That is insane!!!

[@justaguy1109]

There was a distant laugh by Danny when you said, "I don't know how to count this." 😂 No one does, my friend.

[@CrazyAwesome]

Seeing different people telling me how to count this like experts is what gets me 🤣🤣🤣

[@timfarrow1545]

33/8 or 12/8 11/8 10/8

[@timfarrow1545]

Thats wjat seems to be the most widely accepted but i guess you gotta ask tool 😝

[@mpkelley20]

Yeah. Glad you did this. After seeing you play the guitar part, it’s only natural to watch this. And seeing you try to count, as I said in my previous post, drum teachers and even Mike Portnoy struggled to get the time signatures. There is a pattern there but it’s not in your face and changes later. Watching the drumeo video of Mike Portnoy trying to learn this is hilarious.

[@CrazyAwesome]

I should definitely check that out then, LOL that sounds hilarious 🤣

[@MetalMann-de3xi]

I explained the same thing. Mike Portnoy is a perfectionist as well, and you can tell he hated screwing it up. Give it to Drumeo though, Mike Portnoy is a fan of music and he even knew the song, he just never tried to break it down before, and they also wanted to challenge him, and they chose the perfect song. I just hope Carey will accept Portnoy's challenge to learn Dance of Eternity. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if Danny was a Dream Theater fan as Mike is of Tool. I'm still waiting for Drumeo to make it happen.

[@jonkinley1605]

Stoked on your Tool Journey-they have it all-insane musicianship-thought provoking lyrics-unique song compositions-odd times-they are incredible.

[@CrazyAwesome]

It's so exciting to discover a new band, and for you guys it's exciting to watch me discover your beloved band huh? So cool to be on this journey!!! 🎸🤘💙

[@dreamwhileyousleep]

'This is Tool! This is Tool!' perfect description.

[@CrazyAwesome]

You can't describe it. You just have to tell them to watch in amazement

[@reginasamilpa44]

30+ year fan, the best band of my lifetime! I saw them this past February and they are as bad ass as ever!

[@CrazyAwesome]

@@reginasamilpa44 They still tour, really?

[@reginasamilpa44]

@CrazyAwesome sure do. They are touring Central America this coming March (2025). Not to mention, Danny Carey (drummer extraordinaire) is currently touring with "The Beat" and Maynard James Keenan (vocalist extraordinaire) is about to tour with his other 2 bands, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle, along with Primus.

[@susiejo143]

Best drummer alive ❤ gtgto work I'll watch later

[@CrazyAwesome]

Thanks for being here, welcome to the channel if it's your first time! Have a great day at work! 💙🤘🎸

[@theydisintegrate]

I saw them in 2006. My favorite band but I don't go to concerts much. Anyway, my close drummer friend is a lot taller than I am and he caught one of Danny's sticks and I was in such reverential awe of it that he gave it to me. It's right here in my pen holder on my desk like a charm or a token from an otherworldly being, reminding me that there's magic out there in the world, and friends who will help you grasp it.

[@CrazyAwesome]

This is absolutely gorgeous man. I love this. That is absolutely phenomenal and you must feel so lucky to have such a legendary item right next to you!! 🎸💙🤘

[@bobabier5394]

There are 4 brains in Danny's head. One for each limb.And they talk to each other amd from what i've heard, they get alog good .

[@CrazyAwesome]

Each brain must be pretty good friends with each other

[@jessicanewmantol]

Yes, crazy thing to try to.learn but the level it takes to write this is insane. TOOL is always incredibly tasteful in their choices to allow room for one another to shine, and breath. It's always a journey where you're not sure where they will take you, but they always take you up high and then land you somewhere overwhelming and beautiful

[@CrazyAwesome]

It's absolutely bizzare to even imagine writing something like this. Incredible skill and so much PATIENCE too. Many people don't realize how patient you really have to be with writing something this intricate!

He must drum in his sleep XD

[@toddmayhew2676]

You've jumped head first into the Rabbit Hole. Danny AKA "The Octopus"

[@CrazyAwesome]

@@toddmayhew2676 how does he do it?? 😭

[@joechurch7]

The electronic pads with the geometric patterns are Mandala multi-zone triggers. The pad out front to the right of the roto tom is an OG KORG Wavedrum. It's the one making the Tabla sound. It is a hybrid electronic pad and they are highly programmable. I got to see Danny in Portland last night playing with the band Beat. It is two members of the band King Crimson from the 80's with Danny doing his take on one of his idols Bill Bruford. Bill used an acoustic set with electronic triggers and a remote hi hat mounted in the center. Bruford also used large roto toms so Danny's setup and playing is informed by Bruford. Steve Vai was playing the Robert Fripp part at the Beat show and his solo on the song The Sheltering Sky was pretty amazing.

[@CrazyAwesome]

Thanks so much for explaining this! I appreciate it! That really is such a crazy setup!

[@slothmanprophecies3169]

What impresses me is the insane drum fills mixed into this odd timing flawlessly. Since he says he doesn't count, he has to know every hit in order to come back in on time. I don't know the time signature of this song but i did hear they used a lot on this album based around the number 7.

[@CrazyAwesome]

Honestly I was thinking of 7 when trying to count so that's honestly really cool to know! The amount of timing and precision is insane!!!

[@bretluongo108]

Danny's not using one foot, it's both. It's called a Poly Rythem, using more than one rythem to create a full beat structure.

[@CrazyAwesome]

I probably misspoke hahahaa. He's definitely using two feet of course, and thanks for watching man 💙🎸👌

[@bloodblitzowns11]

Not sure if you mention it but to add another layer of complexity is that he will adjust the force of the hits as well to fit perfectly with the song. I think it would be called piano to fortissimo(maybe?) lol but piano being a soft hit and fortissimo being a hard hit. Pretty crazy stuff

[@CrazyAwesome]

Great point. That's absolutely insane stuff he's doing man. It's so crazy!!

[@spiderbass65]

The count is 34/4 like his Larry Bird shirt, but their times change a lot even within the same tune.

[@CrazyAwesome]

I don't even know how to count 34/4 I can't lie, goodness 😂😂

[@susiejo143]

If I recall correctly this some is in 11/8 timing. Also Adam Jones guitar tone is incredible

[@CrazyAwesome]

Forgot to mention that but I love the tone as well!!! 🤘🎸💙

[@brandonmartin08]

Tool live is not really like other mosh pit metal shows. It’s more of an experience not only sound wise but visually.

[@CrazyAwesome]

I'd imagine that, really interesting!

[@wuffian69]

after watching your videos when i look at the comments they are warping morphing. kind of like those optical illusion things you see online sometimes

[@CrazyAwesome]

Wow really? That's actually crazy, never had anyone comment that. Which means.... you're ⭐special⭐! 🤣🎸💙🤘

[@jameswatt5557]

33/8 6/8+6/8+2/8+6/8+6/8+2/8+5/8…repeat. It’s some variation of that, but that’s how I count it.

[@CrazyAwesome]

Bro said it so calmly 😭😭😭

[@jameswatt5557]

@ listen to it again now that you know the count. It will be easy to follow now.

[@lmizis]

Hey man, you should try the experimental Dream Theater band, called Liquid Tension Experiment! Its without James Labrie and john Myung and Tony Levin instead They got tons of good tunes. If you choose to listen to it, you should go for Acid Rain first. Its more cohesive to listen

[@CrazyAwesome]

I actually already did Acid Rain on my channel, check it out! It was insane 🤣🤣

[@joshuabailey7246]

You can actually pull this song off with 4/4, which is the base of all rhythms, but it will sound funny because you can't hit all the accents when counting 4/4, but it's basic 4/4....ex...when the Tom break down comes on, he's rolling with 6/8 polyrythms that are syncopated, but if you watch his high hat, it's always 4/4 timing

[@CrazyAwesome]

Really interesting observation, I noticed when he was using the cymbals it seemed like the pattern was more straightforward but omg... it's bizarre to say this is in 4/4. Literally unbelievable! 🤯

[@Sethmacd0]

Trying to count to tool when you are mediocre with it, is impossible. Trying to count too when its your job(see Mike Portenoy doing this song on Drumeo), is still difficult as hell. Also, that was a recommendation.

[@CrazyAwesome]

I'm on vacation right now but definitely will when I get back!!!

[@bombadt-yt9818]

It's just me but I think that they made their songs un'bop'able cause rather than bopping to it they want you to meditate to it, focus on listening it more. I'd still bop to it though! Awkwardly!

🤣🤣 that made me laugh. "I'd still bop to it. Awkwardly" LOL but yes totally agreed.
