What I love about the drums, is that every single person that straps a set on, from the very beginner of beginners, to the master of masters, each person has a unique footprint just based on how their limbs coordinate. I love that, you don't sound like anyone else even if your new, and I'll steal anything from any player no matter how much experience they have. If I think it's cool, I'll pilfer it, and call it my invention. Playing drums is like being able to go on the amusement park rides as many times as you like with no lines. Ah I'll take some of that.

I’ve been messing around with the 3 over 4 (dotted) polyrhythms underlying Eulogy for years, and I’m not certain I could learn all these in just a couple weeks unless someone set me up to do it full time with nothing else in my life. If that’s what you did, then what a special time you got to have - jealous!

Whenever I'm craving more TOOL, drumeo always seems to read my mind!
Sheesh... How can someone be so inhumanly good? I would have loved a breakdown of the song Lateralus too. That's got rhythm changes and polyrhythms. Oh, and Invincible too.
I agree, that rosetta stoned part is insannnnnne😂 took me months on that part alone
Man, I ground my teeth to dust learning that Rosetta Stoned part on bass....But it slaps so much gosh darn balls, it's absolutely insane! Great job playing that on drums, you madlad!
Sick! Hard to pick a favorite, they're all incredible grooves. But it's hard to beat the hypnotism of Rosetta Stoned. Keep the Tool grooves flowing!
When I "understood" Tool for the first time, my great discovery of rhythm began. To this day I have no idea how to count some rhythms.... instead I have learned to feel them. I've also loved jazz for a few years and I always notice what Tool opened up for me. I saw Nik Bärtsch live for the first time a few months ago, and even though the rhythm was constantly changing, I was able to adjust almost directly to the rhythm, at least in the air and in my head, and enjoy it that way. There are dozens of drummers who are technically better, but there isn't one who has influenced me as much as Danny. And since he was also one of the pioneers, he is simply the best for me.
Great video thanks. Really enjoyed the breakdown and your commitment to Tool. Rosetta Stone played the acoustic way at speed. What an amazing sounding piece. 👏

I feel like I would have no chance of pulling these off without an identically arranged kit. His snare and hi-hat placement is very unusual. Zero percent chance I could even come close on my setup. Bravo for nailing these. It's harder to copy someone's grooves than to write them yourself. Major props.
