What time signature is this drum beat? Danny Carey: "yes"

@glennl78

2 жыл бұрын

The time signature changes throughout the song. Also there is a lot of debate amongst people on the best way to count it but from what I have looked up the song starts off with a 33/16 then changes to a 25/8 and then finishes with a 33/16 again. About as far from a standard 4/4 beat as you can get I believe.

There's so much Tool I'd love to see you go through. Wings for Marie 1 & 2 The lead singer wrote him for his mother. Incredible. You'll also like The Pot, Lateralus.. Oh, the song the Grudge has a 25 second powerful held scream. I would to see your reaction to the lead singers other band A Perfect Circle. The song Disillusioned is beautiful. It'll make you kinda teary eyed but it's not really sad. Check them out and the Tool Army will follow. ✌️ 💕

Left arm hitting 4 or 5 Timba pads to his left, right arm going on 2 pads, 3 or 4 toms & the snare, left leg hitting the high-hat pedal, right foot hitting the bass pedal all at different time signatures. If he dropped his shorts I bet he can smash a symbol in a 5th time sig.

The final boss of rock music. You can’t count it but you know the beats there and it’s mind boggling.

Tool actually challenges themselves by writing songs in odd meter and making them work. They have a whole song where the number of syllables in the words translates to the Fibonacci sequence. if you want to check it out it's called Lateralus.

Next Tool reaction you should do is 46 & 2. They are the greatest overall band you will ever listen to. You will soon delve into more and learn just how great they are. Once you watch this one I have a group of kids who play this song 46 & 2 you will then need to react to that will blow you away.

12:00 Not only does he operate the hi-hat with his foot, he also plays the kick with his right foot and plays with both hands on toms and pads. And to add to that, he basically plays in a different time signature for each limb. Thats absolutely a top level of coordination, only few drummers in the world can play polymetrics with each limb

The man is an octopus with 4 brains lol, the coordination that it takes to play this is mind blowing, great reaction, the only thing I'd have to say is please have the volume just a little more in the song please, keep up the great work!

Haven’t seen this mentioned, but there are also a couple of videos of Danny playing that I think are cool.

15:15 I love Danny's face right there just look how into it and happy he is!!!

Danny Carey's drum kit gets its own bus.

If you watch during his solo again. He's subtracting 1 pad each go around. As an example he's rotating through like 6 pads, then 5 pads, then 4, then 3, down to 2 and then finishes on 1. It's friggin awesome!

I love the smile he has at 15:20, when he knows he has nailed the performance.

Danny Carey, top 10 drummer all time. Incredible talent, incredible dedication. A master of his craft.

Please do more Tool! Love seeing the new discovery of this phenomenal band!

i came to your channel for Rammstein but will stay for Tool keep the videos coming :) Danny is a god but every single one in the band is truly a master of their craft & together they create some of the most intresting/complex/emotional/intense/beautiful/dynamic music ive ever come across. (just a tip tho to avoid common pitfalls, stay away from official Tool Music videos as they are wayy to distracting for reactions & also there are very few live performances with good quality, so best to stick to studio tracks or lyric videos). there are allot of great tracks for u to journy through but to name a few > The Pot, 46&2, Lateralus, Vicarious, Right In Two

He was 58 during that show, keep in mind the drum fills are improved for the most part, I’ve seen pneuma 3 times live and there all different . Which is badass TBH people like me , fan since 94’ are lucky to have Tool in their lives 3 decades now, but there was a heavy price of waiting, hoping,wanting,for years at a time , new material.

Too bad they didn't improve your grasp on punctuation. Also, I'm sorry that you endured paying some kind of "heavy price."

Aileen and Tool. What a happy surprise. I'll say that my two favorite bands are Tool and Jinjer. Different sounds, obviously, but the similarity is that you don't question the direction they go. You don't try to guess where they're going. You just hop on board and go wherever the hell they want to take you. With Tool, I want to just lean back, close my eyes and take the ride.

what I love about Danny especially, as another drummer - his feel for a groove and how to perfect it. that long tom fill/solo part - and please don't understand this as a negative assessment - is in itself a very repetitive beat which by that wouldnt be so hard to perform, meaning the strokes he's hitting with both hands are basically repeating themselves. but his ability to move both the right and left arm across the different toms, keeping the overall pace and shifting intensity of the hits ... that is what makes this actually very, very impressive to me. and yes, I havent even mentioned yet the foot work he's performing alongside with the precision of a clockwork :')

First timer here, I really enjoyed your reaction. Every TOOL song is expertly crafted and leaves you wanting more. I'm certain you would enjoy their song Lateralus. It captivates the ear and mind with groove and lyrical intrigue for the curious and hopeful. The Fibonacci Sequence hides in plain sight...that is, if you want to over analyze it. SPIRAL OUT!! Can't wait for more!

Great reaction video. Would love to see you react to more Tool. They're incredible. They'll grow on you more and more and I have no doubt you'll come to develop a fairly deep connection with them and their fans. "Culling Voices" off the same album is a great track for vocals. Am sure you'd love it. Enjoy the journey 👁 ✌🏼

When I watched this for the first time I knew rock was not dead. Seeing your reaction is entertaining. Cheers from Maine.

Danny the human octopus. His left arm is it's own living being and just does whatever it wants. Best band to ever exist.

We Tool fans enjoy watching the reactions of people who have no/little knowledge of the band. Your reaction has been ours for 20+ years. Welcome to the rabbit hole young lady.

After you listen to more tool, come back and watch this then consider that Danny is playing every single one of those songs with the same exact attitude and lack of stress.

He really is a wizard...that's the only word I can come up with to encapsulate his gift.

Every time I see this video, it never ceases to blow my mind. Carey's left brain/right brain is off the fucking charts!! Also, his attention to detail!! He is something....more.

your smile during his drumming made my day. thank you

nobody brings you into a song better than tool. they grab you right away and take you on a musical journey with funky basslines and innovative drumbeats with odd time signatures. add in adams guitar throw it in a blender and then top it off with maynards voice co.bined with his amazing lyrics and you have something truly special. while all four guys are fucking monster musicians on their own somehow it all fits together. the whole is definitely greater than the sum of their parts which is really speaking to how fucking amazing this band really is.

I swear this guy has four distinct sections of his brain, each operating his four limbs. They can operate independently or in perfect synchronization with each other. I can barely tap my foot in time with this song and he's that? Crazy good.

Danny " Octopus" Carry is a fan of NBA which i LOVE and He always wear Jersey of The city team were they have concert. He is f... Genius 🤘🤘

Aileen you have selected a darn great video.... This video is a Danny Carey solo start to finish. You'll LOVE it. The first few minutes are Danny warming up! How about that warm and wonderful smile? At 4:40 it arrived. When you reviewed Whole Lotta of Love you asked who has been suduced by Led Zeppelin? The skills in this video may do it again. Danny's skill set is amazing!! He is at a level few can achieve. I consider him a master of his craft. You make up your own mind. He is still in the warm up phase here. He has been drumming for about 50 years. Longer than you have been alive! Focus on his hand speed. Watch real hard when the lights begin to flash... On a side note Tool is on tour now with an old man named Alice Cooper. I am planning to go see them up in South Western PA. I hope they do this song. You just witnessed perfection!! On another channel I submitted a theory -- With advances in AI I think this may be a robot. And you said it also. Take care and please keep these reviews coming. Thank you beautiful......

Well now i think its only natural to check out their Sober (live pro shot) from 1993. It focuses on maynard(the singer)’s performance. And danny also does his thing too.

Watch the video of him playing at a school talent show with some young ladies, it is so wholesome. Great video.

10:13 I've been asking that very same question with that very same look on my face whenever Danny Carey is behind a drum kit for close to twenty years now. Also, if you want to see/hear Carey blow your mind, check out Ticks & Leeches.

Aileen, You have selected a danny (pun intended)!!! This entire video is one amazing drum solo! Therefore you my pretty have selected a master doing whar he does best. The band is pretty darn good also.... His hand speed is unreal...... My favorite part of the video is later when the overhead lights start to flash. You'll see..... Shockingly this is merely a warmup. He cuts loose in a while. If my math is correct, Danny has been playing the drums around 50 years. After one half of a century of doing one thing you should be good. He is great!!!!! There is that smile. Did he take your breath away?? Keep watching, the best is yet to come. Hang on!!!! I think it is around 12:something. 11:24 to be exact! You said Ah my God!!! So you reacted like I thought you would! Not surprised!!!!! Is that special or what?? Maynard and the others are great also. But Danny steals the show in my book!! From your breathing & gasps you agree.... Impressive!!!!!!????? I have written on other channels that he may be a robot. A I & robotics have come a long, long way. You decide!!!! I think he is a MASTER of his craft!!!!!!! I agree this is at a high level....... Thank you.

You had just witnessed "The Octopus" at work, Sun's out, gun's out. And beautifully toxic are you, thanks for the reaction.

Danny Carey - the only man that can pull off a drum circle all by himself

when it comes to drumming, Danny is the GOAT. If you haven't heard it before, some people have given him the Moniker "The Octopus"

Tool is very much a drum and bass centric band. Adam Jones is one of the most fundamentally sound guitarists alive, while MJK chimes in after the fact with some powerfully painful vocals. Tool gives me chills every time I listen.

I watched your Nutshell reaction first, and then this one... SUB'D!!! I love your mix of emotions and technicality of things. Almost like a good hype-man for bands!

Danny Carey has 2 arms 2 hands 2 legs 2 feet and yes he has 2 brains. There’s no other explanation!

Ok this is the third video I’ve watched and I’m hooked. I’m a bassist and I’ve heard her compliment bass players on every song. My kinda girl.

So I'm glad your introduction to tool was watching danny carey live. The guy's great.

Love that smile Danny gives the camera!

One of the greatest to ever pick up sticks. Also have to consider the guy was 58 yrs. old when this video was made; he's the master of Polyrhythm and one in a billion.

Can't wait for this one🙌.. You videos are the best!! Reminder set🖖

I marched a multiple national championship drumline back in college in 2001 and 2002, and a couple of guys in the the 'line went to see Tool in concert during their Lateralus tour, and they came back to campus telling us about Danny's kit, and how at the time, and I guess even in present day if you think about it, how revolutionary it is that he places his hi-hat cymbal in the center of the kit, as opposed to the right side. Most drumset players cross their hands with the traditional setup, yet with Danny's approach, he's thinking differently, as that center positioning allows him as much power on the snare as he wants off his left hand. OR, he can switch and play the hi-hat leading with his left with his snare his off his right hand should he choose to do that. The only other drumset player I'm familiar with that takes this same approach, is Mike Mangini of Dream Theater.

....and to think he is 60 years old !!!! GOAT !!!

Aileen: "HOW? Danny: "I'm part octopus."
