FIRST TIME HEARING Danny Carey | “Pneuma” by Tool (LIVE IN CONCERT) REACTION | THE OCTOPUS?! 🤯😳

Danny can play 4 different rhythms at the same time. It is said He can do five without the shorts.

Did anyone mention he's basically a 60 year old man still Killin it!!!! I'm going to see them live for the 5th time in January! Tool forever🤘

Called the octopus because he can play multiple rythems time signatures at the same time where it would take 4 different drummers all playing together to do what he does all by himself. Just watch his hands and the high hat going at 3 different speeds at the same time. One story is when John, the drummer from System of a Down was invited over to Adam Jones' studio to listen to the new songs as he was playing this for him he asked " are those multiple tracks mixed together"? Adam said nope, that's Just Danny playing, and john was like "he's a freaking alien.!

I'm about to see Tool live in 2 weeks, and I'm so fucking hyped, Danny Carey is the greatest living drummer now that the GOAT Neal Peart passed on 🙏

From what I heard, Danny originally joined the group because he felt sorry for them, cause no one wanted to be their drummer. A wonderful decision he made!

I like your reaction. You may want to pay more attention to how well skilled Danny plays those many drumming sounds precisely and on point. Before you wait on the big pop of the harder hits, notice the intricate and delicate drumming of the softer hits, and many of them in fact. How many sets of those drums he goes around with those octopus arms. He is one of the greatest drummers. Damn gifted.

Nothing like the poly-rhythmic time signatures like Danny Carey's. And hitting all the shots on Maynard's vocal's. Some subtly, some not so subtle. Danny is a machine

You said it at the end. "That was smooth". Danny isn't about chaos. He's like Maestro Fresh Wes...back there conducting things! ✌️

Just the control of the high hat while he playing the pads is nuts. It never falters it hits the same every time. He is the best living rock drummer for sure.

Danny Carey is so damn complex! If you watch composers react to this song on YouTube, even professional composers have trouble finding the one.

The most impressive part is how effortless he makes it look.

The fact that this man can play a groove like that in 33/8 time is nothing short of insane

Love seeing the young people discovering this. Carey was raised in Kansas so by default…a basketball fan!!

This really gives a new appreciation to the talent of these musicians. Amazing talent!

Those fills are friggin effortless… he makes this look so easy it’s sickening to a fellow musician His core NEVER moves and his elbows never raise or lower….

Tool's time signatures are insane, and what their Drummer and Bassist can do are amazing.

It's hard to believe a human brain is capable of that. During that section he literally has four different things going on. Left foot on the high-hat, right on the kick-bass, right hand and left hand playing two different time signatures. Enough to give me a seizure. Hahaha. Incredible.

You’re part of the Tool Army now!!

You two are always great. Thank you for uploading your explorations into music. So many of us "subs" love hearing/seeing these things again through new eyes. See you on the next video!

Thanks for reacting to Tool, I love this video and wish DC had more drum cams but covid robbed us of that. (This was recorded just before pandemic) I hope you guys noticed at the point he's slow building the song about midway through, he is drumming with all 4 limbs at completely different timings, a leg on symbol (high-hat), a leg on bass drum, right arm double tapping something like 5 different drums, left arm triple tapping something like 4 separate drums, all at different beats and all gradually increasing speed to match the emotion of the song. Try tapping your head and rubbing your stomach, now add legs and do them gradually quicker over time and all different rhythms while changing the spots you tap or rub. He's probably the best alive today on drums.
