★ Aenema (Tool) ★ Drum Lesson | How To Play Drum BEATS (Danny Carey)

[@danielelford6767]

Danny is really the King of subtly; without his touch and nuance, Tool wouldn't be Tool

[@cleverestx]

Without him they would just be a bunch of Tools.

[@13TeK11]

nice work :D i remember the first time i studied this song it was so freaking hard! hope to see more tool's songs in the future! cheers from Italy!

[@bobbleheadlimbs]

thank you so very much for this. I must've spent 2 hours from 10:00-11:00. Mind opened. Thank you, killer walkthrough video, nicely done

[@fullybaked219]

Thabk u man. It's been at least 5 years I've been working on this song and would have never gotten to where I am if it wasn't for you. When I was younger I'd play by ear but past few years I decided to learn to read music and learn that how the musician actually plays it is alot different than just listening sometimes. This is one of those times. When I got serious about playing I was blown away at how technical and difficult and awesome this song actually is. It's the main song I religiously practice and I'll never be exactly how I'd like to be and that's just fine because I love figuring out what I've been doing wrong and entering that next level where u play it correctly or at least finally unsrrstsnding a area where before you didn't really understand. I love getting that weird epiphany like shit I've been doing wrong this whole time till now. That's happened so many times with this song and with your help I've learned so much it's insane. Some months I might only practice a handful of time, than other times I play 100s of times a month and usually each time I'm grtting the confidence and self esteem to finally sit down at the set I end up watching this video. Sometimes once. Other times over and over. So I thank you for how detailed and informative you are. This is by far the most helpful drum cover/drum practicing video that's out there. I always end up noticing something or realizing something new or different or even just getting more comfortable on my set. So from the bottom of my heart I thank you so much. You've help me become the drummer I've always wanted to be and still in progress. I'll never play perfectly or might not have the best set but at least It'll be enough for me to where I'm ashamed or in over my head. I'm right where I want to be, not good, not bad but comfortable. And I again thank you. Hope you have a good one. Sorry for the rant. Just got done playing and realized how many times I've watched your video lol. Thanks mate!!!

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thank you, my friend!

[@turtlenecks]

This is one of the most fun Tool songs to play. Excellent breakdown. I need to practice my bass drum triplet fills!

[@DrumsTheWord]

Glad I could help. Have fun practicing!

[@maltelundell]

Aenema is the name of the song. Wordplay on Aenima combined with Enema, "flush it all away", "learn to swim".. Also great lesson mate!! :))

[@grimzkul]

Hi Rob! Just wanted to say thanks really. I've been following your videos for a while now and they're just brilliant. You're a natural teacher and I always take something away from your videos. Keep it up chief!

[@garybernard]

Great breakdown!

[@bakunfase8672]

Great tutorial man

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thank you! :)

[@calidadcanal2755]

You make it look so easy when explaining it! Fantastic job!

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thanks and I glad you enjoyed the lesson! Rob

[@philsimmonds8304]

this is AWESOME. thank you. i would totally love to learn ticks and leaches from you XD

[@gehragonzalez8238]

Great job at communicating while playing this at the same time..

[@RobAbfallDrums]

great lesson mate! I love that you play open concept and lefty on the bass drum, me too!

[@larrytate1657]

Can you do a lesson on the intro tom groove of lateralus if you could? I've wanted to play that a long time and it's not that fast but I can't quite wrap my head around the polyrhythmic, changing time signatures. Thanks for lessons:)

[@almofo2237]

Thanks for the opportunity to attempt to learn these complex drum rhythms. I admittedly got lost early on . Back to drum chart reading . Ill keep having stabs .

[@DrumsTheWord]

Have fun, Al!

[@almofo2237]

Do you do a break down of Tool's pushit and 46 n 2 per chance ? Admittedly im feeling very Tool centric of late . Thanx for your uploads ill check those out as well .

[@jackgoff4859]

There are a couple clips of Danny's drum cam on this song and he does in fact switch to single pedal for that part with the hi-hat.

[@DrumsTheWord]

Cool!

[@tamarasandovalalbarenque1306]

Great! Make more tool videos please :)

[@daxy_9219]

New drum kit!

[@TheFightak]

Hey Rob, great lesson, I have two questions: Do you work all of these songs out by ear for the lessons? And also is that just a left hand thing using your right foot for the hi hat or is that a Danny Carey thing? Not familiar with this particular drummer.

[@soakedbearrd]

You need calculus training to understand his drumming. Its just sounds so good though!

[@pvnchdrvnk]

That double kick/tom triplet.. I saw that live, but I didn't know if I had it right.. THIS is EXACTLY what I needed to see!! Keep smashing, Buddy! #smashercode

[@DrumsTheWord]

Glad I could help! :)

[@JiveTalker78]

Great video!!!! Could you do a lesson on caligulove by TCV

[@mhemingway1014]

So I know you posted this a couple years ago but I just finally discovered your channel (and subbed). Love the Tool lessons and the way you break it down. Also I think it's very cool that you don't get hung up about making a mistake or getting out of time, just let the camera roll! So do you figure this out by ear and then transcribe? I find it so hard to pick out the subtleties that DC incorporates into his play.

[@dylanhouchin]

Love it! Most of my inspiration comes from you. Could you do a tutorial on peacemaker by green day? Hope so. ☺

[@activehead]

Thanks man that was very helpful!!!

[@TheWereWolf001]

i love your videos, and i think you should have more subs, and 1st :)

[@migulrocks]

Thank you for this video! I finally get it!!!!!!

[@brianray278]

Hey man thanks for the video

[@DrumsTheWord]

Glad to help! :)

[@drummer15566]

hi rob could you pls do an explanation video of the drum beat at the beginning of 'from yesterday' by 30 seconds to mars? thx very nice drumming btw

[@Tarpull]

Thanks

[@MichaelZamoraSr]

These lessons are great...maybe soon you will be giving a how to for Aneurysm by Dave Grohl.

[@doremind1]

never thought John Lennon would teach me drums. subscribed :D

[@ronaldrage2118]

sorry this is complicating it waaay too much for me. i guess im more of a self taught "feel it out" drummer though. your very talented though and we both agree danny is a god.

[@blinkybit]

Can I ask a dumb question? Have you inverted the drum set up for teaching purposes or do left handed ppl do that? Sorry, idiot here😁

[@joesfathead]

"it's a motion that is possible to learn." sez you.

[@hectoraugustogarzonsanchez5621]

Plece. Play the grunge by tool

[@tomjoad6993]

Why isn't this song listed on your site?

[@DrumsTheWord]

It hasn't been suggested by that many people...and has nothing to do with how difficult doing whole Tool songs are to transcribe and teach ;)

[@tomjoad6993]

@@DrumsTheWord I assumed all the videos on this YT channel are on your site. Seems like posting videos on YT but not your site could cause some confusion, as I was going to sign up just for these Tool songs you have on YT. I'm glad I did a site search before signing up, even though, I still might. Maybe you should put a disclaimer below the videos that aren't on your site, so there is no confusion.

[@DrumsTheWord]

@@tomjoad6993 I offer FULL song lessons which are indicated as PREVIEWS here on KZbin...but then I also have mini FREE videos which teach little famous sections of songs like this. The video and notation for this lesson are on my website and you can find the link in the description. Online Members to the website when they sign up get access to ALL of my lessons! Thanks for your interest :)

[@YogiDMT]

Wow! I'm really impressed. it's crazy how one of Tool's most radio friendly songs is one of the most polyrhythmic on drums. sounds so easy but so not.... do you have a video breaking down the solos on the grudge or forty six and 2? I'm interested to see if your interpretation differs from mine

[@larrytate1657]

It's triplets played around the toms with a double bass stroke on second triplet partial of 1.

[@pitchingwedge1]

nice vid. Danny kiks the doubles with one foot. Practice your doubles

[@mizzRUSSIANroulette]

I have anxiety so bad. I'll never get this

[@DrumsTheWord]

You can with patience and practice! You can do it!

[@mizzRUSSIANroulette]

Your right! Thanks. Stay humble optimistic positive and enthusiastic.

[@danielolabe1263]

are this polyrithms?

[@larrytate1657]

Nah just triplets with some double time 16th note triplets mixed in on the bass drum here and there.

[@joefadell6592]

Larry Tate No it is most definitely a poly rhythm. It is 3:2

[@larrytate1657]

When does he go in and out of those two? It's played as one rhythm. Check out Aron Edgar's videos on polyrhythms. You have to go in and out the two times to be polyrhythmic. Otherwise even a basic groove would be a polyrhythm. Bass drum playing half notes, snare drum playing half, hi hats playing 8th notes, etc.

[@larrytate1657]

I can play this I can't play any of the polyrhythm lessons taught by my teacher or Aron Edgar. This is technically a polyrhythm as even the basic rock beat is technically but it's played in one time signature, to be a polyrhythm there's has to be two or more time signatures and the drummer must switch back and forth between them. So play the groove in 2/4 for a measure then play it in 3/4 for a measure while two instruments like the hi hat and bass drum are playing the two on hi hat and 3 on bass drum the whole time. But if your not switching time signatures it's not a polyrhythm,

[@larrytate1657]

I can count triplets in 12/8 the whole time with no change.

[@deshawnbrown2311]

when 10:00 starts, where are the triplets

[@dericanslum1696]

I-NIM-UH

[@KilnerKlan]

ah-neh-mar

[@Jbromankid]

Is it just me or does he look just like call me Carson

[@ax5927]

"Rosetta stoned" .....ok goodbye

[@drummerdummy]

shiiiiiit! right around 16 minutes you're out of time. I wasn't going to say nothing but what the heck

[@DrumsTheWord]

Yep. I was. You can hear me trying to get back in time. I like to keep my mistakes in my videos in order to demonstrate common problems others might experience. I explain exactly how to play the lick even though my demonstration with the click isn't perfect.

[@drummerdummy]

www.DrumsTheWord.com thats cool. it sounds good. i was just messing with ya a bit. aenima is def a fun song to play. me and my buddy started a tool cover band. hes playing guitar and singing and im drumming. this song has got to be one of my favorites to play. im convinced danny must have summoned evil spirits to write some of these drum parts

[@handsome_man69]

I have herpes

[@AMC401]

Hey, thanks so much man, this is great!
