Here's the Full Length Schism Performance! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYSpoKuMfKZgqa8si=H_8MC6UKzZU6eNQO

[@joeypeacock1673]

I am in awe of your dedication in reproducing such iconic sounds. Thanks for the hard work. Much respect from an old drummer.

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're always trying to improve and create the best content we can :)

[@bonham728]

Well said! He's crazy talented.

[@m6hill983]

That Pneuma sound is spot on 👌.. And dude, the performance.. Not easy to nail Danny's parts to that level.. 🔥🔥

[@findtheway47]

Oh my god, it's real! Now we need Iron Maiden's drum sound. I think that Danny Carey is fricking drum legend. Tool is one of the coolest rock or metal band ever in my opinion.

[@jimihendrixx11]

Total sound of their own

[@coreyw5981]

Haha itd be funny if they did Nikko's full tom set up

[@coreyw5981]

I dont think its known enough just how amazing of a drummer pascal is. He covers the whole span of artists/genres and can recreate the songs nearly perfectly. I'd love to see recreating II's sound from Sleep Token!!

[@chrisbernardo]

Watching this great performance, can't help think of how lucky we are as a generation to be alive in the same period as Tool...

[@85ddrummer]

One of the most important drummers of all time and you did him great justice

[@edski115]

Wow!. .. this is incredible. As a huge Danny fan I appreciate all the effort put into this!!! I'll be sharing this one for sure 👍🏼

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Thanks !

[@MrCMHUDDY]

Anyone even gets close has my respect. Well played, sir.

[@marcpatzelt2430]

I'm amazed at how close you come to the original recording with these recreations. The playing was also phenomenal!

[@jeffpierce71]

I’ve “stumbled upon” his Vic Firth video like, 478 times. Never gets old. Excellent job on this video!

[@thatdudekyle5690]

I’ve always been intrigued by Danny’s set up..him using a 14 inch roto tom & tuning it to a 12 inch pitch is so unique & crucial to his sound. Great work as usual!!

[@Crumpet_Central_]

Yes! You guys are sooooo good at getting these sounds and nailing the tracks 😊

[@bloxycolasip]

Those FX are spot on! You have to give us those pneuma sound files!

[@skirwan78]

Thank you so much for doing this. I will definitely be donating to support you for doing this!

[@MikeLuke]

Brilliant, well done! And can we please acknowledge how effortlessly and on point Pascal played that weird 33/8 pattern from „Pneuma“ - huge kudos.

[@Mr.Deleterious]

I am thoroughly impressed by your skill on drums. How did I not know about this channel sooner. My day just got a whole hell of a lot better now haha.

[@srenjohansen1592]

World class work and effort. Just the snare sound tuning and pitch is spot on

[@antonioguinoo]

Always impressed by how close you guys get to the original drum sound of these great drummers! Sick job!!!

[@uGotGot1618]

Oh my lord. It’s all so perfect!! Unbelievable work

[@alexandrepiche5609]

This is so spot on. Very impressed. Keep doing what you are doing!

[@PneumaticTube]

Recreated super well! Love the sound of all the cymbals. Great playing, also!

[@-TRIAD-]

It’s not easy keeping up with the Octopus 🐙, well done sir👊

[@mattf2959]

Really awesome. I normally multi-task with youtube on the side while I'm on my phone or doing something else on my computer but I had to stop and listen purposefully as the quality of this video was so high. Thank you

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Thank you! Great we caught your undevided attention :)

[@timlovegrove1097]

Pneuma is such a tricksy song to play, very well done on that performance!

[@LiquidAudio]

Awesome work guys, great recreation of Danny’s sound and feel.

[@PEARLdrummerish]

You just proved how great a drummer you are. Big respect 🔥

[@javoguns]

Amazing video guys, the sound and the performance, just perfect!

[@Floodedisposition]

Amazing work guys! I'm not a drummer, but I can certainly appreciate the hard work that was put into this video.

[@thegoonbats]

I'm so glad that you noticed the phaser effect in Schism 🤘 that's one of my favorite things about the song that not many people hear.

[@craigzilla100]

I'm seeing Tool for the first time tomorrow night at Louder Than Life. Can't wait!!!! Great video!

[@pinglinku5481]

Great work as always. Can't wait for the full song display.

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Schism is alsready out as a full length drum cover

[@Larroparko]

This content, commitment to perfection is stunning! Just WoW!

[@alfredneumann4332]

you guys are amazing. Danny is one of my favourite drummers

[@Altaswaysia]

Very nice job!!! That kit sounds fantastic!

[@n03k3ll3r]

Amazing as always, thanks for this!!

[@goggie47]

Very well done guys!!! Wow!! That was tight man!!👌🤯🤩

[@bluegrasskid]

What an absolute master of the craft! Well done, sir! 🍻

[@Q4Austria]

Wow!! Perfectly done!

[@GoranRista]

Great job, as always!

[@ryanbiggs1298]

You guys are really good at this

[@MikeP2055]

Holy smokes! That is remarkable. Well done!

[@acuralee]

Crazy the amount of triggers Danny has in a single pad. Able to play that part by starting in the middle and moving down. Great recreation

[@trafalgerdavis7839]

As always guys, great work here! That Sonor brass snare is killer.

[@drummrboy]

They said it was copper, which is surprising considering that he's been playing bronze snares for such a long time now.

[@siimkaro560]

​@@drummrboy I have that snare and it is definitely bronze

[@hughlj88]

This is excellent! Well done!

[@marianoserrano1718]

I really need a full version of those two songs, sound so f** good.

[@raycecawley9933]

Yeeeeaaahhh been waiting for this one for awhile.

[@Lajon78]

This is sick. You have recreated he’s drum kit with perfection, all I can say masterpiece!

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Thank You! :)

[@ZeBubba]

I bet mr Carey himself would very much approve the playing, also enjoy playing that kit you set up. Great job!

[@satevo462]

I've always found Schism one of their easiest songs to play on the drums. Maybe I'm just weird. Or maybe I've just played it too much. However.... Pneuma? Yeah, I will never be able to play that masterpiece. The middle part is just beyond me. Sad that he didn't play it in this video but still amazing work.

[@dokujah233]

Amazing! Great work!

[@DrummerRIP]

WOWZA! Nicely done! MAD RESPECT! Thank you! 10 out 10!

[@elayas101]

Great sound, great performance, great video!

[@tdrum21]

Very cool. Nicely done yall 👌🏽🔥

[@loO5r]

Outstanding performance, just wow!

[@phillandry]

Wow. I'm a fan man! Good job.

[@francoisdallaire5424]

So fun to watch !!! ❤

[@PhilLopezOfficial]

Give us the rest of Pneuma!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great video!

[@drummermk88]

Beautiful job guys, as always. Fun fact, and not to be taken as a criticism, I was surprised when I saw them the first time that the verse hi hat pattern in Schism utilizes a double stroke on the left, as RLLR instead of alternating singles, which was how I always envisioned it and played it myself. Try it out next time you're jamming the song, and you may find, as I did, that it makes the pattern a bit easier to play :D

[@andrewpappas9311]

Definitely happy to finally see one of these on Tool, Danny is an absolute beast of a drummer and it’s absolutely awesome. As for some other guys, how about Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater, Tim “Herb” Alexander from Primus or Sal Abruscato/Johnny Kelly from Type O Negative?

[@law35penn]

Love that pop sound of the snare.

[@roncoburn7771]

sounds spot on good job

[@NOAHCASAS]

FINALLY GOT A HOLD OF THE BEST CYMBALS EVER MADE AND THE RIGHT ONE'S TO DO THIS VIDEO CAUSE PAISTE HAS A UNIQUE SOUND NO OTHER COMPANY CAN COMPARE KEEP THEM FOR THE NEXT PAISTE ARTIST VIDEO TRIBUTE GREAT JOB ART OF DRUMMING

[@bryonhunt]

You have entered the Danny Dimension with this one!

[@TheForeboding]

Amazing video. The attention to detail, the production... Then Pascal blows all of that out of the water with his playing abillity to top it off. Hi-hats off. Now, as for the suggestion: Martin Lopez' Deliverance with Opeth drum sound. 🤘

[@darrinshomedrummer6866]

WOW....that was extremely well done. Cheer's mate.

[@DJSteenkampMusic]

I love this channel. You guys are the go-to before any studio sesh Suggestion: Any chance of doing diving into Benny Grebb's sound? He's got the best sounding floor tom in the business.

[@tautvydastomkus]

Great sound, great playing, great recording, a well set-up studio and production of the video. This is really good. Thank you.

[@dandavie4569]

Simply incredible

[@carloscapistrano]

Anything with Danny Carery in it is ❤❤❤ 👏👏👏

[@kovalfetterer2218]

Scott Rockenfield of Queensryche next, please!

[@DeuceDeuceBravo]

Great idea! Which album? I've always thought the drum sound on Empire was fantastic.

[@kovalfetterer2218]

@@DeuceDeuceBravo for me, it has to be Operation: Mindcrime. The drums on that album is insane

[@elmarkapp]

Dope stuff man. Could you please consider adding prices on screen for the gear where possible? Would be cool to know during the rig rundowns. Thanks for the great video!

[@rigorhead01]

Amazing! Love it!

[@theshireman5642]

Great job man I wish you could set up a set for me! Awesome

[@leif.erikson9721]

You guys nailed the snare sound

[@carolbowen4349]

Super impressive!

[@wilbert-oppegard]

I subscribed because this is the first guy I've seen even attempt to cover that

[@McAppleJuice]

Sounds great!

[@Brewkowsky07]

Keith Carlock’s big open drum sound would be great to see!

[@alexrayrim3297]

Gavin Harrison and Mario Duplantier please !

[@MojnZZ]

That`s fantastic❤

[@jonn443]

Full Pneuma cover ASAP!!!!!

[@Thepaintingdead]

That was sooo fire

[@stevieg2755]

Good job dude!

[@Allison_Chaynes]

Great job

[@Tburnam0]

That recreation of Pnuma alone deservers a million likes.

[@jackhand4073]

I didn't think the snare sounded right until the mix. Nice work.

[@normgraham6658]

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

[@FrivMusic]

incredibly accurate!

[@maxick]

duuuuuude, you're make my day!!! TOOL4EVR

[@ArtOfDrumming]

[@HardcoreRestore]

[@MadCritter]

[@joshuaoverton3190]

Wow those cymbals sound beautiful. I’ve been a meinl guy forever but hot damn I might have to pick up some Paiste signatures

[@wilkinsnl]

Pretty damn spot on

[@jcdrums2798]

Excellent
