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

[@gravy2142]

It's hard enough for bands to play in different time signatures at the same time. This guy is rocking multiple time signatures just by himself.

[@comfortable.and.furious]

Regarding your comments at 11:50 : they say Danny made a deal with the Devil. To this day, we don't know what Danny got, but the Devil got drum lessons.

[@Smoshy16]

You nod your head in 4/4 and then the signatures go into all brilliance. Keep nodding 4/4 and it will come back. Music is amazing!

[@CaseyOHara-r6u]

I love the Futurama reference. And yes, Danny did make a deal with the Devil. Danny wont say what he got out of it, but the Devil certainly learned to play the drums!

[@FuhQH8Me4Lyfe]

The opening sequence is played on a custom designed Mandala electric drum pad that Danny himself co-opted to help create, made to sound like what i believe are Ghatams. And the following drum (pad) is made to sound like a Tabla. Both of south asian origin. Danny has spent quite a while learning different percussion styles and techniques to incorporate into his art, and studied extensively from the master tabla player Aloke Dutta. 🤘😁

[@davedagreat69]

Yes, and the instrument he plays the tabla sound on is called a Korg Wavedrum. 👍

[@KWAllison-ou1on]

I was at the Toronto show in November and I am a new tool fan.i remember SOBER from the 90zz but this FEAR INOCULUM album is absolutely musical genius by all members.BEST band alive at the moment IMO

[@ldyson8]

Not only can he "do it", what sets this professional drummer apart from others, is that he also wrote the drum music for the song. I sometimes feel people forget that part. How do you come up with drum beats like that and make it fit a song from scratch? The creativity of these artist is amazing and was absolutely necessary to become a pro back in the late 80's and early 90's when these guys started out. They didn't just luck their way into stardom, they are extremely good a creating music.

[@Shakeysmoker1]

They do it separately. Maynard actually works the lyrics around the music in proper time. The Fibonacci's code...

[@paultullo3275]

Well put. There’s a lot of skilled musicians that can mimic these parts, but to pull them out of thin air? Dude… 😳🤯😍

[@Gary_M]

I've watched this video countless times and I'm mesmerized every single time. That Futurama reference is perfect.

[@hermunkulus]

Glad you caught onto our request under your reaction to the studio version haha. Danny Carey is a beast.

[@lillyjanereacts]

I read the comments a lot more than people think. But yes, Danny is a beast!

[@savi_rizzo71]

​@lillyjanereacts I believe his nickname is" the octopus" lol just like Niel Peart from Rush was called "the professor"

[@davidderousse6293]

Every member of TOOL is a master of their craft. Listen to 7EMPEST for some of Adam's best work on guitar and Justin's best work on bass! Danny is always a beast.

[@lillyjanereacts]

I def plan on checkin out more of their live performances. I know Tool has a lot to offer.

[@reppost]

You can do anything from Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer and I'll be here. Maynard is music's King Midas... everything he touches turns to gold.

[@randomsasquatchwithwifi4090]

We are so fortunate that MJK is in 3 bands all with their own style and talent! It seems that everything he touches turns to gold.

[@ewfwefwefwef]

he only do the lyrics. fanboy

[@sirsmudge1000]

This song was actually written by Danny Carey. Maynard's just along for the ride.

[@reppost]

@@ewfwefwefwef Nice try junior but you're making no valid point at all... his singing is what I like in all 3 bands. It has nothing to do with fanboy, it has to do with being a fan of his singing style. But you keep trying little guy, you'll make a fine keyboard warrior someday.

[@reppost]

@@sirsmudge1000 Yeah... but that's not really relevant to what I was saying. I'm a fan of Maynard's singing so if she's doing any of them from any of his bands, I'm in. Wasn't a shot at Danny's drumming.

[@kyle82270]

D C is this generation’s Neil Peart. Absolutely phenomenal. He hits so hard! And the posture. So much respect.

[@jjs71072]

Amen!

[@travisr4057]

@@jjs71072 I would agree with that. There are many great drummers out there but few EXCELLENT drummers.

[@MegaForrestgump]

The only things he moves are his arms and legs. It's incredible.

[@planetcampervan]

The master...he beats those drums like they owe him money ...but with such finesse and grace ...he truly is the greatest

[@epbeagle4242]

He can actually do 5 rhythms at a time with "Everything" He has available to Him. Only in Private of course.

[@Gary_M]

Wow.

🤣

[@2Quietus]

WTF ROFL!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@chuckbradley6887]

The fact that Danny is in his late 50’s and can play like this night after night while the band is on tour speaks volumes.

[@thefluxcapacitor1]

He just turned 62 a couple days ago.

[@jdspencer60]

@@thefluxcapacitor1 was gonna say he's almost ready to start collecting social security lol

[@jdspencer60]

Dude is 6'5" too. The power he brings to it is often mentioned. He hits the drums HARD

[@thefluxcapacitor1]

@@jdspencer60 Lol!

[@Gideonite]

Danny Carey is honestly the beating heart of the band! ❤ my favorite drummer

[@The.Dementor]

6:21 Synesthesia Mandala Drums is what that particular drum pad is called. However, the sound being produced, is based on Tabla drums. Used in Indian/Pakistani music.

[@mikebunner3498]

Danny Carey is an entire drum section by himself.. Amazing................... DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

[@PowderedToastMan420]

"PUSHIT" from their live album SALIVAL. 🤞🤞🤞✌️

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

I've been drumming for 20 years. I can do 2 poly rhythms at a time, sometimes 3 in specific circumstances. How the hell he can do 4, and so consistently, is unimaginable.

[@kiretnek6066]

They do say Danny did make a deal with the Devil. No one knows what Danny got, but the Devil got drumming lessons.

[@deanlillee3231]

Came here looking for this comment and was not disappointed!

[@DavesIslandLife]

Danny is one of the G.O.A.T's in the music industry, as other's have mentioned, any of the 3 bands fronted by Maynard are great choices, Puscifer has multiple vocalists, Co-fronted by Carina Round, gives you unreal harmonies, alongside a rotation of other musical artists, in various renditions of their songs. Then there's A Perfect Circle, Maynard and Billy Howerdel formed it in the late 90's and it's another band that you can't go wrong with any of their songs! Welcome to the Spiral!

[@zrabennett]

You know it’s gonna be amazing. You know Danny is gonna straight up melt your face right off your head…and still the anticipation is intense

[@cesarponce8055]

That drum set is called Synesthesia mandala drums

[@lillyjanereacts]

Thank you!! Now I know (:

[@TokusatsuGamingfan]

@@lillyjanereacts And knowing is half the battle (GI Joe reference). You set yourself up for that, lol.

[@ratius1979]

Its Danny. All you need to know . Pure magic 😇😇😇

[@ulventorden5293]

Right in two is probably one of my favorite pieces by them, period.

[@TonyTee79]

Wow that was incredible! It's like each of his 4 limbs has their own brain. Just amazing! He's irreplaceable.

[@frogmandible]

in addition, Danny is playing a different beat (time signature) with each hand and hist legs TOol is famous for the drummer, gassist and guitars are on their ow parts of the song. Pro level stuff from this entire band!

[@wiseman5076]

When you're playing a different time signature with each limb at the same time, you are the guy.

[@Jdwdogg]

It's refreshing that you listen to us and take our requests into consideration

[@dersnuka]

How many other Tool fans here just to watch another reaction to this band? OGT since ‘94 here 😂.

[@bigfishfishing-111]

That song is f****ng incredible

[@mikebunner3498]

L. J. Danny is a certified bad ass in this video. Be advised the first few minutes are him warming up. As the video progresses he does more and more! Danny had his 63rd birthday on 11 May. He reportedly has played drums since he was around 10. So I submit to you girl that anything you have done that long you should be good at. He is not good, He Is GREAT!!!!!!! My favorite portion of the video is coming up. When the overhead white light start to flash at 10 :22 or there abouts. Danny gets DOWN to the serious drumming. Parts of his work in this video are orgasmic!! He does ALL of that then fixes his hair! And finishes is full circle! I mean DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nauseantrock532]

His drumstick timing is what blows my mind

[@scottsellers7055]

There's maybe a dozen people in the world who can play like this. There's one who makes it look easy.

[@mzondi1970]

I love the sound of the stick hitting the rim of the snare

[@kanomorrow7622]

He’s a alien from Pluto! He’s not from around here! I’ve been playing drums for a long time and all I can come up with is he has a gift of splitting his brain so that one side doesn’t play like the other. He has the ability to play different grooves and time signatures with his right and left! Lots of practice and that ability makes a awesome drummer. He on the other hand has stepped it up more and can play four to five different grooves with both feet and arms. Not many people can play like he does and it’s really good to see people react to that because you don’t see this kind of drummer very often. Great reaction and song!

[@patrickfuller2423]

00:35 to 1:45 realizing when this band started. pretty mind blowing really. the whole band is just incredible.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

These guys are all perfectionists. Together the find a way to collaborate.

[@chuckbradley6887]

Tool is exactly what you get when you put four musicians who are perfectionist and the best on their instrument.

[@TomZacchini]

As i always said, Danny Carey is not human!

[@adamsmith2374]

Some of the most creative music ive I've ever heard. Its the equivalent to the movie Back to the future

[@davidcieslak8896]

Two words... world class... Danny carey is absolutely elite as far as drummers are concerned... I hope you understand how difficult it is to maintain the the rhythm and multiple timings and look so effortless doing it.

[@Starscreamxx]

I truly loved this and Danny Carey is such a down to earth guy as well. I have seen many interviews where he talks so well about playing and I believe he said the hardest song for him to play is The grudge. I saw many comments where peeps were like I can listen to him talk about drums for hours because he is such an awesome guy and you want to just listen :). This is my bold statement that will either get a like or dislike but here it is. BOLD STATEMENT: If Tool was to retire today and hang it all up, the band I believe could carry on that awesome legacy of music that just intrances you is the band called Sleep Token. Cheers everyone :).

[@manna6618]

The Futurama reference...YES!!! :)

[@buckesmalls]

He is one with rhythm... Respect to the drummers drummer.

[@martinbellamy7125]

The drum sound you're referring to is a tabla drum, mainly used in Indian percussion.

[@miconis123]

It's good that you've listened to the studio version as it's better easier to understand the song. This is to appreciate Danny. He's one of the few drummers worthy to pay homage to the late Neil Peart of Rush.

[@tillflakeramm6234]

This is a girl who understands what its all about🥰

[@DarthRaider520]

Tool remains close to my heart. They repaired a piece of me me when I was so lost. This band is all about progress and growth as an individual. Their music will forever be a part of who I am.

That drum that you want to know is an old wave drum by a company called korg. That particular one he has is old 80s style. And more analog than the newer models. Hope that helps your question..

This man is on a different level...... So smooth!!! All of the greats are like that!! I am going to share my latest theory with you. With the advances in AI & robotics I think this is a machine. Not a man!!! Who knows, I may be crazy. I've been told that before. BUT most humans cannot do this. The entire band is GOOD!!! Lilly for your information --- Tool is on tour right now with some old guy you maybe have heard of Alice Cooper. So you are a band kid, well this may melt your brain!! It is powerful...... Later lady.

[@vincentrichardson8519]

Greatest drum performance!

[@nauseantrock532]

His mid switches and off groove walks are epic.

[@ryanainlay224]

Master number 33 Danny knows his esoteric information 🙃 Edit: Hermetic Principle #5: The Principle of Rhythm - Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates. Danny flows and IS rhythm. He taps in, man.

[@malhondize3898]

the live version sounds better than studio, tool is not your typical rock/metal band for sure but i love them and he was like 58 or so when this was filmed, crazy

[@bovax6259]

I'm just jealous that you got to see this track for the first time. First times are always special!! One warning possibly from other reactors of music on KZbin that I've watched. Althou I LOVED the no talking style you did, just let the music play, other reactors have said that if they don't do enough talking and stopping of the vid they're redacting to, KZbin has issues because it seems to become some form of Copyright issue. I don't know if the pausing you did was enough to suffice the sensors of KZbin or not but apparently if it wasn't then just beware. Awesome vid thou and YES, reacting to ANYTHING Tool will get me watching, especially if you do this same style of little pausing thru them!! 🤟🤟

Love your reaction! Danny Carey is one of the best if not the best drummers today period! In search of new techniques to his drumming he has studied tabla with Aloke Dutta. Carey has also been featured in many drum and music magazines..

[@tattoodude8946]

Danny Carey is often called the octopus and for good reason (though I'm not sure that even does justice to how many rhythms the man can juggle). He has an amazing balance of knowing his craft as well as anyone but not taking it all too seriously. He has studied the art of drumming throughout the world and cultures, but again, doesn't have a chip on his shoulder about it. And you can tell he is just having fun - just look at that smile at 12:56 - the man is in his mid fifties (I think) in this video and still loving what he is doing.

Loved seeing you smile through entire reaction. Occasionally you'd have the woah or that's cool look. And now you see why we said Watch this one. And Daney Carey is one of best drummers on planet. Neil Peart RIP was on it and one of Carey's Inspirations. Also Mike Portnoy former drummer of Dream Theater. And Current drummer of Dream Theater and beats per minute record holder. Also Drummer formerly of Slipknot Joey Jordinson, and Alex Bent of Trivium. Travis Bent of Trivium Drum playthrough of Beyond Oblivion with full vocals you just see him play it is pretty crazy.
