Danny Carey | "Pneuma" by Tool (LIVE IN CONCERT) (REACTION!)

[@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer]

Danny is 200 years old, 9 feet tall, plays every night in a local NBA game, then wears his uniform to play drums in concert. He invented drum sticks.

[@Atixtasy]

LMFAO

[@bettywatkins28]

Ha!!

[@BigHogg]

That’s Just a few of his accomplishments

[@A5p3r07h]

He's the hardest working cephalapod in the game.

[@hecq2357]

[@deadbrother5355]

Watching the expressions on your faces change throughout the song is gold.

[@kanomorrow7622]

That’s a tool concert you just can’t see the other guys because they don’t move around much. But yeah that’s one of the hardest pieces of music to play with that kind of timing and off beats. He makes it look so easy but I’ve been playing drums for 25years and it still makes me want to quit playing because he is so next level! Great job guys great reaction!

[@bruun1974]

His technique all around is nuts, but the four time signatures at the same time, one for each limb... I struggle mightily with just two. 😅

[@TurntBucket]

Also, these are just the drum cams

[@cjr4497]

The fact they can play this live is brain melting.

[@frankiek2269]

I’ve seen them 3 times and they’re always in darkness with crazy stuff going on around them. Hell the one concert, Maynard was behind a sheer screen of some sort, with a light behind him to put his silhouette on the screen.

[@8lb6ozbabyjsus]

Tool is the best experience I've ever had at a concert

[@kurtiskissell378]

This is a live performance, the whole band is there. The camera is just on Danny the entire time.

[@willbutler6261]

I hope you guys can appreciate how awesome this is. He's doing polyrythmic drumming and using complex time signatures that is all mathematically based. It's so unique and difficult. He is one of the best all time!

they cant dude, they are not musicians, but they know he is good

[@Dog-O]

Danny’s timing is absolutely insane.

[@jasonstehlick452]

Came here to reinforce this. Average viewer won’t understand the volume of what’s going on here, but to put it in a way those may get, he’s literally playing a different, independent beat with each limb.

[@joetspaulding]

all drumming is mathematically based. just so ya know that statement meant nothing... you could say it is based on more complicated math than some

[@maybedrinkin3241]

@Gerald H Well, if I'm being REALLY honest, I think it took me 3 viewings to notice that switch. And his right hand is right in my face. Yeah. Seemless.

[@DuhQuanNigstix]

I'm 61 years old and have seen a boat load of great drummers across all musical genres, but I doubt I've ever seen a drum performance within the framework of a song that's this impressive. For me what separates Danny Carey from most drummers is his creativity and combination of power and finesse with the uncanny ability to change strike force in such a nuanced way. I've got one word to describe this song - MASTERPIECE.

[@forgetaboutit1069]

Danny isn’t playing alone; the whole band is playing live in front of 20,000 or so fans. It’s just a drum multi-cam they show. You can see Maynard the lead singer walk across the back during the breakdown 7:44

Hey guys….I’m a drummer of 40 years and a fan of Tool since 1990. You have just experienced the most talented drummer playing today. He has the ability to play multiple time signatures between his hands and feet, in addition to the band time signature. So cool to see people experience this for the first time. New subscriber here.

carey is a savage. Tool are literally a math problem hahaha how they change time signatures is nuts

[@JFLY78]

Danny Carey is the only person outside of an actual NBA player who can get away with wearing a full NBA uniform out in public...he was actually a very good basketball player but wasn't confident that he could crack college/pros so decided to focus on his drumming instead...and now he is considered one of the Top Ten rock drummers of all time, this song is one of the best examples of his talent and ability....and he was almost 60 years old when this video was recorded!

[@neilmccomsey9550]

They have zero clue what you are talking about.

[@dennisperin2989]

He played a little in college or high school if i remember the story right he’s like 6’5-6” i would state it differently, Danny is the only drummer Rush would ever consider if they were to push on without Neil . And that is the highest compliment any drummer could get imo

[@bruun1974]

There may be/have been drummers out there as good or better than Danny, but no one have proved themselves to be. The degree of dificult coupled with raw power and a percussionist approach that on many songs basically is a drumsolo from start to end not to mention the polyrythms, one for each four limbs as he does on Pneuma and I wish there were stats on how many drumhits he does on an average Tool song compared to the likes of Bonham and Peart. My guess is Danny's in a league of his own on that score too, so think of the stamina he needs for a whole concert.

[@billybreeze1]

He is the greatest drummer ever in modern music. Neil Peart said the first time he heard Dany play he thought it was dubbed. "There is no way I could repeat that".

[@KvltKommando]

@@x8nis They were very popular in the 90's and 2000's but generally they're not really what the current generation is talking about even with the (sort of recent) album release. In the early 2000's you could guarantee hear them on the radio nearly every day. Especially Schism takes me back to when Diablo 2 came out because that song was played a lot (thank God, i'd get so excited when it came on before I owned my first Tool albums)

[@jlandry92583]

That’s an actual concert, the video was just made to focus on Danny’s skill on the drums. Danny is a whole vibe from his skill to his signature basketball uniforms he wears at every show. Not to mention he was around 59 years old when he made this video and still killin it!

[@bettyrose959]

Yes, this was for Vic Firth. They make and sell his signature drum sticks. Tool won a Grammy award for this album. “Fear Inoculum,” the albums title track and 10 minute and 20 second long single broke the record for the longest song to win the award.

What makes this even more impressive is that Danny doesn’t use clicks . He is the metronome for the band.

[@Qwerty_monke]

POLYRHYTHMS!! Best drummer on the planet. He possesses perhaps the most difficult skill in drumming, limb separation. If you notice, each foot and hand can have its own rhythm occurring simultaneously, resulting in 3 or 4 different ones. In simple terms, it's the near equivalent of a mortal being able to touch the sun. Aside from his polys, he possesses so many amazing technical skills, it's unreal.

[@dollyruiz4172]

Thank you for explaining this to the guys. They pick up on his concentration and they feel his vibes, but no disrespect to these fellas, I really don't think they know what they are watching and hearing. This is a man blessed by God. He is super human. Thanks for anything Tool. Your video reaction makes me happy!!!

[@ewolffman]

so its basically the professional version of patting your head while rubbing your belly....also while doing a jig with your left foot and a waltz with your right... or something like that?

[@carlbeaulieu6914]

Mind blowing

[@jeffreyhall76]

Not just different rhythms but also different timbres he isn’t human

[@SSPspaz]

Limb separation is quite literally the hardest thing about drumming. Most people use their right foot for the bass drum, but the first time they sit down at a drum kit, their right hand and right foot want to do keep the same rhythm. It’s just how the brain is wired. So you have to break this tendency. Anyone who isn’t a beginner has had to develop some degree of limb separation, but the extent to which Danny can operate each limb independently is simply unnatural. Dude is a freak of nature with an amazing gift.

[@myalteregohamish]

I love watching people discover TOOL. The reactions to seeing and hearing this music we’ve all had it. So good.

[@Zephbane]

I think Danny will go down as arguably the greatest drummer of all time. I know there are lots of names to throw in that hat. But his ability to dissect rhythm is otherworldly.

[@mjrnj]

Plenty of names to throw in there, but he's got not only experience but consistency. The rest still have to prove themselves over time lol

[@kellykelz8566]

My favorite drummer was Jon Bonham, until Danny Carey. I think Neil Peart is awesome as well, but IMHO... DC and JB are just a lil bit better. NP's time signatures are ridiculous, no doubt, but Danny Carey and Jon Bonham are a tad bit better. It's just an opinion. 🤷

[@peartist2]

Most popular drummers. Not best Billy Cobham. Buddy Rich. Carl Palmer. Terry Bozio. Steve Gadd. Rod Morgenstein. Are better. And others I haven't listed

Danny is awesome and as some others have pointed out this was a drum cam from a Tool concert. You can see some of the other members at various points in the video, but it's really meant to focus on Danny. There's a lot going on in this song from a technical perspective that I think is more noticed by drum nerds (like the use of polyrhythms throughout), but it's easy to see why he's held in such high regard. If you want to check out some really good black drummers (as you mentioned) then guys like Eric Moore, Chris Coleman, Tony Royster Jr., Thomas Pridgen, and Larnell Lewis are all amazing and highly respected. Plenty more, but those are the first that come to mind. Eric Moore's "Terminator" video is one of my personal favorites. Another guy to check out is El Estepario Siberiano. He's a Spanish drummer that has blown up a lot over the last few years and is really fun and impressive to watch. Dude has unreal technical skills/chops.

IF you decide to do more Tool, a word of advice- Look up song meanings before you start, shit is deep as hell. Watch lyric videos, DO NOT WATCH official videos, band does animation for them that can be jarring and disconnected from the music it will distract you too much. Understand tool songs are long and melodic, most songs around ten minutes with SLOW build ups and layers added throughout, that lead to the final pay off. Tool is an amazing band, but not for everyone. Got to be in the right mind space for it, sit back, relax, chill and wait for it. If you do you will discover some of the filthiest and grungiest guitar riffs, beat drops, trippy tribal drumming, and cleanest but angst filled vocals of anyone. Everyone will tell you, not just a band and a song, but an experience.

Excellent advice. I wish they would have at least known that it was a drum-cam (Sponsored by Vic Firth, no less) on Danny during a recent and likely-sold-out live TOOL concert. They were so flummoxed trying to figure out why the camera was only focused on Danny. So much so that they thought it was a one-man show. Similar to how you suggested an artistic music video could distract you from what's happening, I felt like the confusion over that misunderstanding was all-consuming for some of them.

Its not only the song, but the meaning behind the lyrics that make it epic Just Amazing Been a fan of Tool since 1993

[@colinjames7569]

Danny can hit multiple time signatures separately. And divide them. And when to add them together to make amazing beats. He’s locked in it 😎 Every once in a while I hit the drum sets. Feels natural 🔥. Very introspective. It has a familiarity more than just another

Not just Danny everyone in this band do their thing

[@tomking7080]

Danny is one of the best living drummers and in the Top 10 greatest of all times. He is amazing. The Octopus.

I would love to see you reacting to at least one of these of these: Billy Idol - Rebel Yell, Journey - Separate ways, Alice Cooper Poison, Joyner Lucas - I'm Not Racist, Miley Cyrus - Flowers you pick

Gonna watch them live in little over a month. For the second time. Tool is massive.❤

[@groovelife415]

Danny Carey is the biggest part of Tool's signature sound. He is definitely there in every song. The whole band is playing as well, you just can't see the other members from this camera angle. Tool uses a very wide and open stage setup. Danny also wears a basketball jersey for whichever city/state they are playing in.

I wouldn't say that everyone brings their own flavor to the band.

[@groovelife415]

@@rx7dude2006 his ability to transition seamlessly between time signatures and even play two time signatures at once is key to their sound. No other drummer can do what he does in that regard. Without that Tool would sound completely different.

. Spirit. This dream. We can remember. You’re slowly becoming. this heart . One breath. “I am full of wonder” Tool is sublime and insightful, inspiring

You guys HAVE to do Tool - The Pot Just to get you guys started off. I felt like you got on the wrong foot with tool from the sober reaction that was recorded differently. Give The Pot a go you wont be dissapointed.
