DC has mentioned many times in interviews over the years all the drum exercises (rudiments) he does for "limb independence" and to build polyrhythms from that.

Thanks for the reaction, that was a fun watch. I love when guitars are right up there in the mix enough to really complete the 'wall of sound'. Good music is like worship really, new worlds open up and all that, pretty vivid when done right. Floyd is one of my other all-time favorites, along with most of The Doors stuff. A good solo just really caps things off, and even better when drums, bass, and guitar get a bit of their individual time in the spotlight. What I got from it was; starts out with life evolving from the ocean, which is why the water is deep at first, then transitions to beach as we crawl out of the sea to try our luck on land in the oxygen. The drive always to stay alive, no matter what organism it is, leading to changes and adaptation. But *we've* reached a point where we either figure out all how to survive together or kill ourselves off while destroying most of the ecosystem and returning the planet back to times before any species could attempt to understand the universe we all inhabit -possibly anywhere in the universe, as far as we know. Hence the closing waves crashing on the beach as life descends.

I wish I could hear these songs for the first time again. But, then again, I hear something new every time I listen to them. Keep up the great reactions. You’re up there with Geebz and The Daily Doug.

It’s practically the only professionally shot footage of them live and it’s just bananas seeing what he does, absolutely next level.

Rosetta Stoned is the pinnacle of Tool for me. Takes a while to have your ears trained to get to that level. For The Grudge, I immediately was drawn to it and it is a masterpiece of course, but the longer I listen to Tool the more I move towards those songs that I didn't like at first. Rosetta Stoned was just a blast in my face at first and I had no idea what all that noise was. I honestly didn't like it. But after months (and even years) after listening, Rosetta Stoned's 8 minute buildup to "Overwhelmed as one would be" is Tool at its finest.

Love your reaction. The sound engineer prospective is cool. What headphones do you use or like? Tool is amazing. You're on point about having to choose to listen to for the first listen.

I've yet to learn a TOOL song on the guitar. Not sure why I never gave it a shot. I know a couple on the bass, but I'll have to try to learn some on guitar as well

Hmmm may be my new favorite reaction channel! Please do, A Farewell to Arms by Machine Head!

I really appreciate that! I'll get this added to the list 👌🏽

You need to do the Pneuma drum cam video... You will see Danny do all that Danny does.

20:53 Your reaction to the moment when the "gong" first hits.. It was almost like a stunned silence... That part of the song gives me chills everytime (along with "Mobilize, stay alive").. This is my absolute favourite Tool song of all time and I find myself watching reaction videos just to see reactor's expressions when this song (well all of their other songs) hit hardest.. I will never get tired of seeing people hearing Tool songs for the first time..

I listen to this song quite a bit now and "Mobilize" line always gets me. It gives me an incredible feeling every time! This one is in my top 3, probably behind Lateralus and Schism

"I'm scared"... as you should be. Then speechless 30 seconds later.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching your completely appropriate reaction to this. I was wondering if you picked up when Danny hit the gong? You reacted to it but I'm not sure you knew what you were hearing. Thanks for this and new Sub here

Was that around the 21:00 mark? I definitely heard it but it didn't hit me that it was a gong! Thanks for pointing that out and for supporting the channel!

@@samuraikaito I'll give you full credit though it was at 20:53 to be exact. Great call!

It's SO good you kinda jus have to bask in the ambulance afterwards.. 😑

it's a beautiful thing to see young people appreciate and understand the depth and the artistry of one of the greatest bands that have ever composed music ❤ rouse... All from, our... apathy. lest we cease to be. Jesus Christ 🤘 One of these days they might cut you into little pieces 🤷😉

Awesome stuff dude. Check out lost keys/rosetta stoned

This is Adam at his best!

You're not lying! He was the highlight of the song for me.
