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.

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.

The guy is not of this realm. Legend has it, his arms were forged by ancient metalurgists and his wrists were carved from diamond. At least his elbows were store bought so there's hope for us all.

Intro is haunting played in that key ! Outstanding video on ALL accounts!

Loved the nonverbal conversation around 11:30. Great video as usual

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.

I’d love to see a reaction of Tool Right in Two and then Judson figure out the chords on piano and play it

for Judson to NOT pause a track.....speaks VOLUMES

Danny is the ultimate beast behind a kit! He possesses all the skills and then some and we as fans love him for it! Just an amazing drummer!

Yes! I was hoping you would review Pneuma...beautiful intro btw Judson!

I just fell in love with Tool from this song. The guitarpart is mesmerizing and the drums are phenomenal

Just loved that you two watched this. Love your reactions and I love this song.

Thank you so very much for doing my favorite song ever, appreciate it 🙏

Love the dude on the left looking like he just spiked his brothers tea with acid. Haha!

Danny was sent to this earth for one purpose .. slappin drums ! Just started this video can't wait to see the reaction ! Spiral out keep it going

I love watching people react to first hearing this and especially judson i think his mouth was dropped for most of that performance Danny is sub human keep up the great vids guys

THANK YOU!!! As opposed to the original video that went to ad break during the climax of the cresendo, you decided when the solo first started. Makes so much more sense

Danny plays a hybrid drum kit. He has both acoustic and electronic drum equipment. He tends to have all acoustic cymbals, but the drums tend to be a mixture. The snare drum you mention is electronic, but it is much higher-end than most you would see out there. That pad has the capability to sense where and how hard he hits notes on the pad and the rim, giving him the ability to do cross-stick, rimshots, ghost notes, etc. just like on an acoustic drum. Something that drummers often notice is how his hi-hat is in the middle of the kit (versus to his left ), using a remote pedal setup. That is very ergonomic because it allows him to play open-handed (his arms aren't crossed over) the majority of the time.

@DawidUliczny-ro7eo

@AKJACKAL99709

@DawidUliczny-ro7eo exactly my point. You or I may not be able to play the way he does regardless of equipment, but the way his kit is set up contributes greatly to his playing because the comfort and efficiency allow for longer playing and seemless movements.

Never gets old. A feast for my ears every time.

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

Nice double reaction, one that watches the video for the first time, and the other that has watched it for around the same times as I have 😄

When I saw this for the first time, this was mi reaction. No words, only see listen and enjoy. Amazing Danny!!!

This song and Invincible both give me chills. Jusf amazing music

Crazy marry is an awesome song! Also love watching Richard Rick out on the side

just saw them for the second time in ten years in november. justin really has to wave the tightness out of his arms after a while, and no wonder. he's by far the most underappreciated member of this phenomenal band. what his hands have to do to make this music is almost completely unbelievable. so many crazy repetitive motions to make these songs sound right.

I'm not sure I have seen Judson so riveted to a vid, he is locked in on this one!!

Great analysis of the drumming. Probably seen that video 100 times as well.

Yes!!! Waiting for this!!!!!

Seen him do this live twice. He’s my 🐐

Crazy Mary....beautiful my friend. ❤🇨🇦

YES YES YES! Their best song. I think it's hard to top this one together with Invincible. These songs are pure magic to me. Everything in these two songs make sense.
