You can do that too. I don't mean right now. He is showing what humans, including you, are capable of. Do you really think Danny Carey is thinking "I'm playing polymetric 3 against 4," while playing? No, he is in the zone. One thing at a time. You don't start out with that drum kit and if you do you will be so overwhelmed. You can be whatever you want to be, BUT pay your dues and respect and be inspired. Don't think for a second any of the drum teachers reacting to this video will actually be able to play it.

There's another part to this, this is all true, but the real reason they do so well together is the singer does not put himself ahead of the rest of the band. He's just another instrument. How he sits back in the shadows and lets everyone else shine equally. It really helps make them a band and not just some guys playing with a singer.

Danny Carey and Neil Peart are 2 of the most unique drummers in the last 50 years. If you are not inspired by one of the two of them then you aren't aspiring to greatness.

You're right about him being a motivator. My buddy's 14yr old son plays, so I gave him a copy of the new album and he was blown away.

My brother and I followed them on the 10k tour I think our 6th or 7th show, one night we got "shitty" seats on the side of the stage, behind a riser, overlooking the stage from the rear, it was magnificent, we sat a hundred feet over Danny's shoulder, Maynard's little platfirm was right behind him that night from our perspective, it was perfect.

"Danny's an individual. Nobody plays like him." Exactly what i thought after seeing the Vic Firth video. The first Tool song I heard was Aenema, i was more hooked to the odd drumming more than anything in that song. And a few years later Lateralus dropped and I listened to Schism and again the drums were something special. Never heard a whole song being played on snare off like that before. That's where I knew Danny Carey is no ordinary drummer and nobody ever plays like him.

Yo I'd love to hear your take on Clay Aeschliman - Polyphia. He has a couple of great drum vids out. Cool hip hop/trap vibe. Great cymbal work.
