MeTOOLlica: “For Whom The Bell Tolls” What if Danny Carey was in Metallica???

[@JPWokndead]

Looove how the "learn to swim" rhythm fits in here! Good work!

[@lill3lars]

“For whom the bell TOOLs” - missed opportunity there

I actually say it in the video 😂

0:51 lol

The odd time signature you played during the verse hurt my brain. Great job! you got. New sub from me!

It's amazing how drums can change the feeling of a song! Sounded so different from the original, really really loved this!

[@Jml1313]

Not many are as good as Danny, but dude, don’t sell yourself short. I’ve been following you on instagram for a while, just saw you a had KZbin and had to pop over to watch. This is dope, love the setup!

[@lifeinsoletude]

I love this one man you really did an incredible job arranging this! I would absolutely love to see you do something like MOP, Disposable Heroes or Orion in Danny's style, that'd just be so fun to watch

[@HandsomeFuture]

I think Orion or MOP will be next up after I do a few gear review vids.

[@lifeinsoletude]

@@HandsomeFuture Ooh hell yeah those 2 are actually my favorites off the album so thanks!!

[@ZombieFarmboy666]

Great job! 2.56 has that aenima feel 🤘

[@HandsomeFuture]

Thank you! Yeah I straight up lifted that once I figured out if fit

[@kennethfisher1004]

Wow. That is impressive. I certainly hear the influence of Danny Carey, but the way you put your parts together and completely re-wrote the drum track is 100% YOU! I think you are an extremely talented musician. Yes, MUSICIAN. We drummers catch a lot of flak about that issue, but in the end, we are playing music, therefore, we drummers, are musicians. I rest my case. Moreover you my friend are one heck of a musician and drummer! Great work. I saw the last video with ONE and it was great as well. I'm as of now a subscriber. Keep it coming, brother!

[@HandsomeFuture]

Thank you so much! I think I’ll work on a video about this very subject. DC gets a lot of credit for being an incredible drummer but I don’t hear a lot of talk about how great of an overall musician he is. To be able write & compose on his level is almost unimaginable to me! Trying to sure is fun & challenging tho!!

[@PygmySurfer]

Would love to hear “Danny’s” take in Disposable Heroes or And Justice for All.. or if you really want to try something different, how about giving a Tool song the Lars Ulrich treatment?

[@HandsomeFuture]

Great suggestions, thank you. There’s a “Lars Ulrich” guy that has the “Lars playing (x)” thing down to a tee. He’s @tomdividedbydesign on TT & insta.

[@PygmySurfer]

@@HandsomeFuture thanks, I’ll check it out! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@JackHallinan]

Absolutely amazing. Would you consider doing a full video post for Orion? Sounded great on the sample

[@xdmikemtdx6802]

Love the idea, love the execution even more (Man, this intro still gives me chills), GREAT JOB!

[@HandsomeFuture]

Thanks! That’s so great to hear it connected with you. Cheers!!

[@jacksychov]

Wow! The verse groove sounds so cool!

[@メシャ]

great stuff! the verse is so groovy with the hi-hat, love it ngl, really liked the chorus with plates at 6:25 the tom groove at 6:33 was also awesome

[@surfj9009]

I really enjoyed this content. Both my favorite bands combined! One thing I would say is that Danny is also a master of know when to stop drumming, and leave room for the rest of the band to shine. Maybe when you find the difficult sections…silence might work well? Just a thought. I loved the video and can’t wait to see you do some more

[@mikegallagher8131]

Great job! It's an interesting take on the drums. Got to have some fun with it!

[@emerald_ash]

Excellent take, man 🙌🙌 you really pulled off the style. And Aenima is my favorite Tool album 🤘😎🤘

[@HandsomeFuture]

Thank you so much!! I spent years learning that album on the side as my part of my practice routine back when I was still touring. So many incredible & creative parts there! DC is such a great player that I think people overlook what an amazing composer he is.

[@codenamenot47]

If I may offer feedback, drums seem to be a bit low in the mix. Otherwise, love it

On this & “one” that was a serious struggle in parts for sure! Thank you so much!!

[@wakeupplz0]

Kick ass bro!

[@nathancilley153]

this nice

[@digitandariel]

Seriously awesome! The fact that you can somehow forget Lars's drum parts and fit Danny's expressions is spectacular. One suggestion for future videos, if you're going to re-record any AJFA songs, I wonder if you could somehow use the ones with enhanced (or recreated) bass. I would be thrilled if you could.

[@HandsomeFuture]

Thank you. It’s funny that you mentioned that because that’s exactly what I did for my take on “One”!!! Justice for Jason!!!

[@SterlingSimmons22]

[@DeanAlix-dr3do]

Super awesome man! As a hardcore Metallica fan in my youth and a hardcore tool fan from then until now this is just epic. Good work. Would you be willing to do a Danny Cary version of a primus song. You pick the song

[@HandsomeFuture]

Interesting idea. Danny & Tim are close friends and were my two of largest modern influences. There are a list of similarities in their playing styles! “Southbound Pachyderm” almost sounds like Danny already… Maybe “my name is mud”? Thanks for the suggestion & inspiration!

[@paulc9907]

awesome video!!!

[@JuanCheesy]

Great job 🤘

[@HandsomeFuture]

Thank you so much! this one was a challenge

[@JuanCheesy]

@@HandsomeFuture anything with Danny Carey is a challenge. He’s the best drummer alive right now. He would be proud.

[@drummernick4]

great setup !

[@HandsomeFuture]

Thank you! building that kit is almost a hobby in itself 😂

[@lukemorgan950]

Well done bro. Could feel the Danny style in there pho sho. Some spots felt like they had too much double kick and the practice takes had some real cool spots that fit both bands. Maybe find a way to tinker those few things together and that b astounding. Either way hella better than I could pull off on a kit and it sounded great.

[@umuttututuvncer]

Good efford. Close.. But, ... yeah good efford man!

[@DeanAlix-dr3do]

Or Danny plays opeth would be also very interesting.

[@HandsomeFuture]

I’ll have to consider that. A couple of people have suggested it now!

[@surfj9009]

I dare you to tackle a slower song from Metallica in Danny Carey style. In thinking “My friend of misery” or “The god that failed”.

[@jpsaraceno]

From whom the bell TOOLs

[@HandsomeFuture]

Indeed 😂

[@gritvonsharpenson5352]

Danny has been known to play a straight 4…. It was a bit busy in spots

[@lollipop84858]

Why would he use drumming patterns from all his other songs instead of coming up with new stuff?

[@lobbyrobby]

Well there's no doubt you know how to play the drums. That was excellent! With that being said You "Danny" overplayed those parts a little too much haha.

[@brianring3425]

You get like just for the cojones. Of course Metallica with Danny would have been Epic. Top 3 best rock/metal drumers alive.

[@kevinvansickle9393]

'I'm not as good as Danny Carry'. Bro pretty much no one is. However, you're far better than Lars.

[@PetParadiseVB]

This… kinda… just… doesn’t work

[@paulfaria1503]

Talking is a good thing

[@MuzzY4444]

Danny knows how to groove even with the simple beat. This is just senseless noise.

[@DarthSchum]

Not everything works perfectly, you are not Danny yet, but I think there are very interesting sequences. Nice job.

[@Ryujin1805]

Less Is more

[@hoochiemantwinkletoes]

I love this concept, but to be honest, I think you’re trying WAY too hard to make your take different from what Lars did. IMO you really didn’t catch the feel of the song very much. You kept it too light in the beginning, and didn’t capture the steady march of James’ riffs. Like in the beginning, Danny probably WOULD keep the stabs to match the guitar as Lars does. I also felt like your part never really matched the intensity of the song at any point, and again, I think it’s because you’re just trying too hard to be different from the original. That’s just my opinion though! I’d love to hear more of your ideas, and will definitely keep watching this series! Just wanted to give some constructive criticism

[@hoochiemantwinkletoes]

Just wanted to add I like it a little better after listening to it again. The parts where you said you had trouble finding something that fits are the ones that sound the most out of place to me, but some other parts were cool. Definitely see what you were going for. I think The Thing That Should Not Be would be a good one to do in Danny’s style as it has a bit more ebbs and flows between the lighter parts and the heavier parts, whereas this one is kind of steady heavy marching throughout, which isn’t quite what he does

[@hilkolieberwerth3495]

Couldn't agree more.

[@jk-76]

Metallica with a real drummer would be crazy. Maybe the musc would be more inspired.

I'd say he did a pretty decent job.

[@HandsomeFuture]

As I said loudly & clearly in the video: I do not think I am as good of a drummer as Danny Carey is. This series is being made for fun, and was partially inspired by Adam Jones of Tool liking the short form versions. I don’t think DC has seen them but I’m pretty sure he’d enjoy the attempt. If you don’t realize the level of respect for his abilities I would have to have to make this, I don’t know what to tell you.
