That's a great one to start with. It was my first. Danny Carey beat to learn too. The fill in that song though...

You don’t need a teacher, just learn sheet music reading and look up the music for it

[@ege999men8]

Mitchell Collard Music sick groove mate

[@ege999men8]

the moment you hear these beats you immediately hear the rest of the song in your head, that's why Danny is so special. he has truly unique beats for every song, they can be very complicated beats but still they always complete the song so perfectly. he's such a telented composer P.S. Danny said in an interview that he's playing a 8th note ostinato for eulogy bridge part this version sounds so sick tho 🤟. the original is a little bit easier to get down surprisingly

[@CamRebires]

He once said he doesn't want to play beats, he wants to play songs, you're dead on!

That section in eulogy took me ages to learn. It was my real introduction to using polyrhythmic grooves.

Great drum lesson. Great choice as well, Danny Carey is such an amazing and influential drummer. He is so unique in the way he plays and he is so interesting and he is always coming up with new ideas. I love his work and I love *attempting* to play it. Currently working on pneuma, really fun song. Keep up the great work. Hopefully we can look forward to some more TOOL.

[@resonanttotality8322]

Schism is basically a combination of 5/8 and 7/8. (1-2, 1-2-3) (1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3)

[@gooseliver9]

I read an article years ago where I think Danny called it "compounded time" where he separated the groove into an alternating pattern of 5/8 and 7/8. Made it so much easier to learn for me.

[@lerakxkorb]

@@gooseliver9 to me its easier to learn the beat by just listening to the song a lot. worked for me, just exactly knowing how its supposed to be sounding then it’s just playing it.

[@gooseliver9]

@@lerakxkorb That's exactly what I did. I didn't even know how to count when I learned the song lol. I didn't learn how to count it out until afterwards.

Great! I`ll dig into it first thing tomorrow😉 best break down I have seen of these sections. Thanks Stephen😉

[@ILikeWafflz]

Danny's big on layering 3s over stuff, which was perfect for me when I discovered Tool because I was always trying to do that, and their music made the perfect too- I mean, implement, with which to develop that. I've gotten pretty adept at it now; bonus points for the odd time signatures, which is another thing I've always really liked.

We gotta have a part 2 of this, that was awesome!

[@Beatstruck]

Bottom actually came up in my mind earlier today! At that time it took me a few moments to even realize it was a Tool song I was thinking of and I couldn't recall the title to save my life. I very rarely even have this on when I listen to Tool, so that's funny how it's one of your picks for a video uploaded the very same day. Strange case of Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, hah More on-topic: as an amateur drummer I've always been eluded by the Eulogy beat, but your video has inspired me to give it another try. Great stuff!

The way that guitar riff sits on the drum groove in you get this alternating thing where the kick and snare land always made me feel like it was inspired by (or a cool evolution) of that guitar/drums in Kashmir.

Awesome job Stephen! Thank you man! I remember asking awhile back if you were ever going to do Danny Carey or Tim Alexander and you said they were both coming. I have a seriously difficult time with anything that I can't start on "one". After watching the video I understand one reason Danny's stuff gives me hell. Is that considered "displacement"? I'm trying to understand some of the more advanced concepts lately...I wonder how I could practice getting away from starting on "one"? The 2 guys I mentioned seem to have a knack for hitting every beat that I usually wouldn't play!

Danny said in an interview that the Eulogy beat was straight 16s opening every third one and closing on the fourth.

The hihat to crash stuff you were doing on schism was great. But remember. His hihat is dead in the middle of his kit on a remote cable thing. Lol so he probably does all that a little different.

Stephen you are a master of breaking these beats down. Do you instinctual learn by ear and break the lesson down after or do you find breaking down first works best? I would imagine charting out the hi hat and snare in the Eulogy polyrhythm as you did would be the only way for me to learn it.

[@ayushtiwari1666]

Very good helsinki..

[@michaellabutte8025]

This is a great video however there are a couple minor mistakes that I found which I would like to correct quickly. Around 2:00 you refer to a closed hi-hat note as a rest. This is not true, a rest is the absence of sound. The click sound of the hi-hats closing would still be considered a note. The second issue I would like to address is the time signature for Schism. 6/4 does work.... however using 5/8 and 7/8 alternating is much nicer to read. When the song is written in the alternating time signatures it has the ending triplet on the hi-hat fall on beats 5 and 7.

[@maartensint301]

Great lesson, Stephen! Danny is one of my all-time favourites. Is there any way you could explain and play the part in Tool's Rosetta Stoned from the 10,000 Days album? (7'06"-8'36") I know it contains a lot of epads but the polyrhythm is still beyond me to pull off at this moment. Greetz from Frederik - Belgium!

[@TC-lk2ev]

Yo! I think its 16th note paradiddles on 2 different drums in 3/4. the snare is on 3, so you need to change which hand you're hitting the snare with each time you hit the snare. Apart from that, he starts adding drums that he is doing the paraddidles on, but mainly its those two main drums which kinda sounds like really high toms or some tribal percussion things. but basically practice paradiddles on the two toms in front of you while hitting the snare with rlrr lrll Rlrr lrll rlrr Lrll - Like that. Then add the kick pattern in.

It only took me the better part of 20 years out of 32 to finally figure out the beat that’s played in the verse of Undertow.

[@maltelundell]

Isn't the Eulogy beat technically a polymeter and not a polyrhythm? Not trying to be a knowitall I'm genuinely curious because I've always thought of it as a polymeter and even used it as an example to distinguish between the two. I mean it's obvious that there are 2 different repeating patterns but that could be said about many things that aren't necessarily polyrhythm, right? Thanks in advance.Awesome lesson as always, Stephen! :) EDIT: I mean because the hi-hat is more of an accent and the repeating pattern only fills 3/4 of 1 beat of the measure of 4 that is the driving rhythm of the groove as a whole, and so isn't that a little "countably vague", if you will, to qualify as a separate rhythm in this circumstance?

[@yasenpeev763]

[@brian96597]

So most of us are familiar why Maynard writes in odd timing, but what is Carry’s story? Did he accommodate with these out-of-this-world beats, or has he always been an odd beat player?

[@davidgomersall7185]

Most recent albums the band recorded the music then sent it to Maynard to record vocals over. Danny Carey cites Bill Bruford and King Crimson as one of his major influences so yeah, he has always been an odd time kinda guy 😁
