Drummer here, the polyrhythms. Mic drop.

My daughter is a classical musician (violin/piano/others) and she told me that at first she didn't like Pneuma compared to other Tool songs, saying it was "a bit too repetitive" but she listened to it again and decided she should analyze it as a "percussion concerto" and in that light it was "very very good". Whenever I can get my daughter to say any of "dad's music" is good, it's a win.

Yeah, I'll sometimes play my 90's grunge favorites on acoustic guitar in the living room and she'll humor me by filling in the solos on her violin or snatch the chords out of the air and accompany on piano, but I can tell it's kind of boring for her compared to Chopin or Debussy. She definitely appreciates TOOL though. @@uns33n

@@uns33n In my daughter's defense, the first time she sight-read her way through Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No. 3 in B Major, she said it was so beautiful it made her cry. She'll still listen to a lot of music just for the joy of it, but then she can also analyze the inner-workings and reveal another level of beauty and complexity that most people are unaware of.

I think you forgot to add the word under-rated. Whenever people talk about the best drummers in the world, Danny rarely if ever gets mentioned. He somehow gets forgotten most of the time. Meanwhile, you take any of the drummers most people would mention and have THEM drum this song and they would be very hard-pressed, I'm sure of it.

For the first time I saw Jetson so hypnotizingly confused and focused for the entire song. Great Measures indeed!

The first time I saw him speechless and I loved it

This was from the first tour after the album and you can tell that they were so excited and proud to play this song live for their fans. It’s so infectious the excitement they have it puts a smile on my face watching it every time

Haha, 'infectious', nice one ;)

Physico-mechanical testing laboratory assistant here. Ambidexterity level of his, how he feels the song, and the precision of every move. I watched this drum cam before, I swear the overwhelming feeling that I feel (no pun intended) almost makes me cry. The bridge in this song reminds me of a storm, starts really peaceful but as it plays further it gradually builds the power, and this very extended crescendo on the drum part combined with a switch between synth and guitar, really brings me somewhere far far away from my reality, almost like a trans.

We don't have words to describe that performance.

Brilliant. Richard with glee knowing what’s coming next. Judson visualizing brilliance with his own brilliance. Fucking amazing for us mere mortals.

I was in the 4th row, center, at this performance. It was the 6th or so song out of about 12, I believe. Danny is a beast and the whole show was just as incredible.

That's why they call him "The Octopus"!

Reactions on reactions. Damn I am here for it. LOL

I may have been at this show. They played a couple in boston late 2019. It was my last "night out" before the covid shut down. Hell of a show.

Ive seen them play this live 3x now, most recently a couple weeks ago in Toronto. It is absolutely mind blowing every single time. Tool shows are an experience.

How Danny executes it is one thing, how he thought of it in the first place is something else.

Have watched this more than anything else on You Tube, probably close to 100 times. Danny is just ridiculous. Numero uno.
