They need to study this guy's brain when he's doing something like this. Just wondrous. BRAVO you guys!!! 🔥🏆💖

Yo as a hard-core Tool and Carey fan this guy did a phenomenal job especially given the fact he never heard the song before 👍👏👏👏👏

[@Mikestor2]

Hearing Tool for the first time is crazy enough, but hearing and learning Tool on the same day is something else. If it's any consolidation, Mike Portnoy learned a Tool drum track on Drumeo and it took him over three hours to nail down the skeleton.

[@FatCandyProduction]

True, but Pneuma is also a way harder song then The Pot and it's way longer.

[@Mikestor2]

@@FatCandyProduction That is very true. Maybe Drumble should invite someone on to learn that 😂

[@JimmyChitwood15]

Yeah man, Pneuma is Danny Carey showing off, he literally worked years on that song. I guarantee Pneuma was one of the most requested songs that Tym mentioned was crazy to give someone.

[@asabovesobelow2299]

​@FatCandyProduction but portnoy its a progressive metal drummer, he should it done like in one hour or less.

[@Lloocii]

​@asabovesobelow2299 No shot. Being an accomplished drummer doesn't give you some magical power. I've played piano for 30+ years and it will take me a few weeks to months to "perfect" some classical pieces. There's just too much density here to absorb.

[@BBD-AITB]

Expert musicianship that does Danny Carey's compositional approach to the instrument justice, tasteful application of flawless technique, and injecting his own unique style into his part that elevates rather than detracts like many drummers would do. 11/10, man. You nailed it.
