It's the Pneuma Drum Cam | A Tool Reaction

[@jeffhelton3364]

TAG checking in. It blows me away some 2 years later that this video now has over 20 million views. I remember when it first came out I was one of the first 300 to see it. I personally watched this myself probably 50 times and I know I've watched at least 25 people react to it. Watching him do this live in person twice now was also amazing. Thanks for another amazing tool reaction see you on the next one

[@howardcraven3664]

Yeah, I think it has now over 26 million views.

[@Duck-xy3gx]

Same exact boat

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Hey, General! Nice to see you in here. Hope you're doing well. :)

[@farn451]

Beyond just having total limb independence he also has dynamic control over them so he can be hitting hard with one hand and soft with the other and at different intensities with his feet. Pound for pound the greatest rock/fusion/prog drummer on the scene. So musical in the parts he plays, technically brilliant but with feel, pocket and touch for days.

[@tojorozombie]

Probably mentioned already, but an NBA player, who is a massive TOOL fan, left Danny a team uniform in the locker room for a show in his team’s stadium. Obviously, it has become a thing since! Way to Jedi Mind Trick folk into gifting you a wardrobe of sports apparel!👍😄

[@yomo1690]

It's one thing being able to play it. It amazing. But it's another thing to write it. Godlike

[@travisyoder5169]

Great drummers always make it look easy but I find it amazing how their brain can keep track of everything that’s going on.

[@goris276]

its crazy how they use no form of backing track and danny carey uses no in-ear or metronome, just shows how good he truly is live

[@epicmage82]

The happiest person, he was arrested not that long ago for getting physical with TSA lol, but I'm sure we can all relate to that. He's a good guy.

[@scottst1112]

I didn’t see any video of Danny Carey assaulting anyone, more being assaulted by the police. His hands were behind his back and one started yelling stop resisting, so they can tack on more charges to sweetin the plea deal and revenue they generate off of bullshit and ego. Cops lie in police reports the majority of the time even when there is no need to, for whatever reason. But since their a state employee, in a state sponsored kangaroo court, they are bialy considered and viewed by jurors as more trustworthy and credible like good ol’ Mayberry. They wear body armor in public, that should speak volumes to the direction they and we all are heading. I don’t trust a state sponsored kangaroo court masquerading as upholding justice in this country. The only thing they uphold is the for profit prison industrial complex. We have much work to do to turn this society around, but from my experience there are few cops that aren’t involved in their gang activity and deserve to be honored and trusted. Evalde is most representative of the state’s and prison industrial complex’s hired thugs , to keep the have nots under their demands and control. Danny Carey was drunk and he doesnt have any indication to be a bully or have violent rage tendencies, the people claiming so on the other hand….

[@Z_TPI]

Let's face it, anyone that is happy while dealing with the TSA is not human. His actions are totally justified 🤣

[@dedfishermen985]

Who doesn’t have a problem with the TSA?

[@rkaylor5769]

Danny is a master of odd time signatures and polyrhythms.

[@_BLACKSTAR_]

As a drummer, I can tell you YES its "normal" to see a cymbal or toms positioned in the most odd ways.Mike Mangini has a HUGE kit as he plays for Dream Theater & it is mirrored on the left & right side unlike a traditional layout of highest pitch toms decending from left to right down to the floor toms.Drum kit layouts are as unique & strange as the indivudals who play them.

[@bernardcinco4917]

yes thats maynard. playing jenga on the side

[@Qliphirot]

It's not common for rock and metal drummers to use the ride cymbal that high, that's more of a jazz influence on him but another reason is because he gets more free space to set his eletronic devices.

[@_BLACKSTAR_]

He makes it look so easy.

[@robertjones4361]

Hey Lauren, as always, you're awesome, that is a Larry Bird jersey, this particular night they were in Boston at a Sold Out Boston Garden, since TooL started selling out arenas if the Arena they are at has an NBA team Danny will wear the Jersey of the team, I saw them in Philly back in feb and he was wearing an Iverson Jersey, Boston gave him that Jersey as a tribute to him and Larry Bird, same thing in LA, he always wears a Kobe jersey.....thanks for sharing

[@spiderbass65]

He wore a Kobe (RIP) Lakers shirt for the encore, just to screw with us in Boston. Funny guy.

[@da9pauly]

He get college jerseys too. He played at San Diego State Univ. and was wearing a SDSU Kawae Leonard jersey.

[@douglasennis7291]

Practice practice practice... 😎

[@loyaluwang4228]

The potential of mandala drums are infinite

[@Elliot-k8f]

Tool = genius; therefore understanding the 🎵 and lyrical accompaniment isn't for the average. You do the best you can❤️👍👏🙏

[@da9pauly]

There’s a short video of Maynard playing Jenga behind Danny Carey while playing Descending (it has a section with no vocals just like Pneuma) and Danny hits the Gong which is right where Maynard was playing Jenga knocking the game over it pretty funny. Another video same song and situation with Maynard playing the Dr game pulling bones without hitting the sides.

[@shaunbryan3421]

So I discovered this band while watching tool reactions a few years ago and they're pretty freaking good. Jinjer a Ukrainian progressive metal band fronted by a legend of a vocalist called Tatiana Smileyuk. The general introduction to them is their song Pisces the live session but I will also suggest a song off of the newest album called Wallflower.

[@horoldo77]

You should check out "Jerk Off" from their Opiate EP. Has two of your favorite things, live music and angry Maynard.

[@nonymouz9334]

Davis Gilmour - Comfortably Numb is known as the best guitar solo of all time. Danny Carry - Pneuma - Best percussive performance of all time. (imo)

[@Kristina-jf4hd]

💯 agree with you!!!!!

[@chrono050]

Seen this so many times but it's still amazing everytime. He gave me one of his sig Vic Fourth sticks back in 06

[@scottspears9347]

Next concert for me is Puscifer on November 17th in Chesterfield, Missouri. My wife bought the tickets again and I’m looking forward to it. My wife has become a big Maynard fan

[@victorlojero8318]

"Drumming in the Flesh" Clive Barker Pinhead, "We have such sights to show you" lol

[@heyskipj]

Pneuma hasn't grown on me yet. Invincible, tho? Feel that in my bones. A pro shot of that would be hype.

[@chrono050]

They need to release a video of him doing Choc Chip Trip Live that was one of the craziest things i saw live ever. Not at all the album version.

[@nucl3arboNg]

The jersey usually depends on if the local venue gives him one he'd like to wear (local team/star), if not he usually wears a Kansas Jayhawks one. Obv this was recorded in Boston. Edit: Yes that is Larry Birds number (Just started watching the vid when I posted)

[@markroberts8864]

As a suggestion, my favorite song on the Fear Inoculum album is, "Invincible". Maybe give it a go? Thanks, enjoy your reaction vids.

[@howardcraven3664]

Good reaction, Tool did a great job on that. Live, and the pressure of not making a mistake, I don't see how they do it, but they do. #ToolArmy

[@Zach-cn4lb]

Just a thought since you’re such a big Maynard fan (rightfully): check out some A Perfect Circle, another band he sings for. They’re pretty incredible, and you get some good angry Maynard from a few choice songs too

[@Kristina-jf4hd]

Also Maynard’s 3rd band, Puscifer.

[@jindas4217]

That's why Danny is considered "the octopus".…lol btw, ur still awesome Laurenne 👍👍👍💯💯💯

[@MorlokKurak]

Neil Peart of Rush could do polyrhythms as well. Phenomenally hard to master. I know. I played drums for years, never could do it. Love your show, Lady L. 🤘😎🤘

[@dan4856]

*every limb got a complete different rhythm* that about rite😂

[@williamsummerson1204]

Danny Carey is one of the greatest drummer's of all time, been a massive fan of his and the band since 1993. Really enjoyed your reaction alot. 🤘😃

[@alshurdom6917]

I’ve listened to Tool for 30 years, heard every song countless times...I have never once gotten close to air-drumming Danny accurately. Not a bit.

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Do the live performance video of 3rd Eye from the Salival recording. It's d but It's incredible.

[@Danlows1]

Yes!!!

[@steveswartz5407]

Danny got me into studying magick, so.... he's a wizard. :D

[@jirikrajnak9047]

Haven't seen this one before!

[@RockDocNeal]

Hi, I love your reaction. I've seen this video several times and it never gets old. Danny obviously has fantastic technical skills, plus he's also very creative and he's like a friggin metronome. I think I remember hearing Danny say in an interview that he doesn't count during the songs (like counting the beats for the particular time signature so you don't get lost), which absolutely kills me if it's true, especially with the odd time signatures and changes in time signatures that many of their songs have. I've been a musician since I was a kid, having started drum lessons at 6 y/o, piano lessons a couple years later and I had about 8 years of lessons on both instruments, but I stopped playing drums in my 20's and I've been primarily a keyboardist and vocalist ever since. Give me about 2 weeks of practice on the drums and I could probably hack my way this song, but I certainly wouldn't be even close to fluid as he is in his playing and I could NEVER do it without counting!

[@peterpike]

I find in polyrhythm it's actually easier not to count it.

[@RockDocNeal]

@@peterpike now that I think about it, you might be right! You could be concentrating so much on counting beats that you lose the feeling and groove of the song.

[@Soljarag5]

Tool plays in basketball stadiums... So he usually wears the team jersey of the city they are playing in

[@Qliphirot]

He wanted to be a basketball player, thank God he didn't make it.

[@Duck-D-Koi]

And this is just 1 song during the concert. lol

[@frankholmes4175]

I get giddy watching Danny also.

[@thathorridthing]

Thanks for an awesome vid. Tool rules! But know you kinda have to look in to a Meshugga drum cam video. 🙃❤️

[@Kibashino2]

LESSS GOOO

[@phildigiovanni9687]

Now remember this video every time you hear a TOOL song.

[@Ggraymetal]

Danny the “Octopus”! Incredible talent. I know you’re just getting into Fear Innoculum, but if you want to reach back to Undertow, consider reacting to “Crawl Away”. Has all of the Lauren favs…..bass, The Maynard, pause….my favorite of the album tied with “Prison Sex”

[@gottagowork]

Danny looks happy? Oh, you haven't discovered Junna yet? 😁While she does mostly drum covers and metal blastbeat stuff and not so much complex polyrhythms, there is still no musician on earth that makes me smile as much as she does. Senri Kawaguchi is also ridiculously awesome, and probably more technically skilled/trained than Junna, although her style is more in the fusion/jazz genre. Both awesome and recommended to check out if you like drums, but watching Junna just fills me with joy - you'll understand when you see it. Favorites among reactors are Painkiller / Judas Priest and Through the fire and flames / Dragonforce.

[@WitzyZed]

It's easy to count this tune, esp when Danny's jersey # is giving massive hints 😜 (6+6+5+6+5+5) x 1/8 = 33 / 8

[@MrPinkVI]

11:48 "Normal" 😂

[@mikemorris2625]

Enjoyed the the video I like to hear your thoughts and interpretation.

[@DizzyD850]

fun fact, the time signature is literally on his jersey

[@MycontentisgoldJerryGold]

I doubt I'm unique in this, but I can see when Danny holds back his arm to delay a hit, or even stop a hit that you would expect would come. ps. You look quite a bit like actress Heather Matarazzo.

[@Z_TPI]

3:20 when you said(I think haha) "I'm glad he can count this.." lol I did some digging and repeated attempts of counting to "try" and figure it out haha This is just for the main riff/verses and now my brain hurts lmao. Trying to solve and write them all down in order is akin to trying to solve the Diophantine Equation, and I don't want to make this to become my lifelong research focus 🤣 According to Adam(interview), the song's time signature is 33/16. Sourced from Reddit: It can also be split(for easier counting maybe?) in two different ways 14/8 - 19/8 or 14/8 - 14/8 - 5/8 How I count the bars... Total of 33 16th notes for one full measure. Even with this it is so hard to keep up lmao. No wonder he doesn't play to a click track and goes by feel instead haha 1 - 2 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 1 - 2 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 1 - 2 1 - 2 - 3

[@bobevans3209]

What's crazy to me is that he is like 58 in this video...wish I was in that good of shape!

[@theig298]

I wonder how many times the drum cam video has been viewed, if you include reactions to the video. Everyone I show this to is blown away. Gotta pick your crowd though 😉

[@ssacra22]

It gives me a damn seizure trying to figure out how the brain can put out those signals. He must be an octopus wizard!

Hey Lauren, I keep asking myself the same question about how in the world does he do that? That’s why in my opinion he’s the greatest drummer alive

[@viking_nor]

Plenty of drummers can play it. What makes Danny different is that he came up with it.

[@scottspears9347]

@@viking_nor sounds like you’re a hater. No plenty of drummers can’t do that. Apparently you don’t know anything about different time signatures

Hey, Salvador. Sorry I ruined your evening with my video. If only there were some way to stop watching a video once it has started, you could've avoided this whole ordeal. Oh. Wait...

You haven't seen anything

[@RealDrumPyles]

In the section with the electronic drums, he's doing the same thing with each hand it just sounds different because he's hitting different sounds. And then he's keep the beat with his feet. Sounds great though 😊

[@RayMurberg]

Right hand, circular pattern. Left hand more of a back and forth pattern?

[@Danlows1]

It changes too. Right hand at some parts has 5 drums in the pattern, then 4, then back to 5, 4,3,2 snare. Left hand starts with 3, then adds one as it gets taken away from the right hand, then down to 3, 2. Also he starts off playing double hits with right, singles with left, and seamlessly switches to doubles on both to get the Swiss triplet feel

[@mannyplayspoe7183]

Great drumming to boring vocals

[@loyaluwang4228]

You have no clue what you're talking about buddy

[@mannyplayspoe7183]

@@loyaluwang4228 Maybe, but probably its simply that you can't argue about taste. To me the entire Fear Inoculum album is just a massive let down when it comes to Maynards performance. But if you prefer that boring sound, good for you. I will always stand with the style of Ticks & Leaches, The Grudge etc
