I like watching drummer react to this video... Seeing them being baffled by, and trying to figure out the time signatures is entertaining

Hit the nail on the head. “Boomers had Pink Floyd, Genxers have Tool.” I’ve always thought of Tool as a modern day Pink Floyd, not that they sound like Pink Floyd, but that they are on the creative level of a band like Floyd and do not sound like anything else.

Danny is my fn hero but you are correct. Its those 4 guys that make the magic.

“Humanity has a chance!” Exactly right, I feel the exact same way when watching Danny drum.

I didn't even know about Tool until a few years ago and I was like "How in the hell did I not know about these guys and especially Danny Carey?" I'm a reformed drummer but it's still in my blood. It's so difficult to describe what makes Tool so unique, fascinating, and mesmerizing to those who have never played an instrument and dealt with something other than 4/4 time signatures. In songs like Invincible, there are sections where each musician is playing in a different time. Normally, something like that wouldn't be at all musical. Yet Tool manages to pull it off and then they bring the time back together seamlessly. The complexity is just off the charts and each of them make it look so effortless. There are just not enough superlatives. Each song is an incredible musical accomplishment.

That smile at 14:30 says "The hard part is done, the rest is just fun.

4:15 "I think this band with a different drummer would be completely different." I once jokingly asked a friend, "What if Danny Carey played drums for Metallica one concert? What if Lars Ulrich played drums for Tool one concert?" His response was, "One band would have their first good live performance in years, one band would have their first bad live performance in years." 😂

Rush is the group that comes to mind that showed the way to Tool. In fact having Alex Lifeson play live with Tool was a perfect synergy. The other band that comes to mind is Iron Maiden, who are a band of five ( Janick joined), that have amazing time changes and perfect unity, in very complex music

I think Danny is a prototype of a much more evolved human being. Our current society is not ready for a collective transformation to this type of human.

I've probably ACTUALLY listened to this a thousand times since 2019. I know I've listened to the Ænima album at least 5000 times

Hey! Thanks for watching with us. He’s super human!

So right about Tool as a generational band. I had heard of them for a while before checking them out. It was this song that really hooked me. Explored the rest of Fear Inoculum. Went back to the Pot, Lateralus, 46 & 2 and others. Incredible.

i have a theory: the reason you can't "find the 1" in the song is because they're basing this song around the act of breathing. There's no "time signature" to that, so what I think Danny is doing is playing in a very "reaction"-based way, where his drumming is literally having a conversation or playing in such a way that with adam's guitar, and justin's bass riffs, it seems like a completely subliminal action, like it is with breathing. we don't think about it, but it always happens. it's just a part of our existence, and it's rarely "in the way" of anything we do.

Lol and Maynard is pressing on them, stating get to it cause there's no way he's releasing final work in his late 60s. Omg new final ToOl!

I trip going up a flight of stairs. The coordination he exudes is phenomenal. Also a 100+viewer

Yep. I'm the same age as Carey. I just saw them live for the first time two nights ago. I can't even imagine how in the hell he has the stamina to do a show like that. Peart hung it up because he was getting to the point where he could no longer play to his high standards.

Danny, Justin and Adam write to 'songs' and only send it to Maynard once it's basically complete. Maynard at the point will immerse himself in it in for weeks or more and just let the lyrics flow from the composition. He said he'll intentionally listen to it on different audio sources, different environments etc...to ensure it fits everywhere possible. He's a modern day genius poet the way I see it...and this is just Tool, he has 2 other bands, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle as well!

One has to wonder what the readout would look like if electrodes were attached to Danny's head to capture his brain activity during this song. I'd love to see that.

Maybe in the rock world he’s one of the best but this idea of him being the greatest out there is ridiculous, go check out some fusion drummers, one guy who comes to mind is Marco Minneman if you want to talk about 4 way independence or polyrhythmic drumming.
