PLEASE READ :It has come to my attention that people do not like the small cuts i made during the song. It was in no way me attempting to ruin anyone's experience with this video. The overall goal was for a few of the longer sections that i did not have any input on to shorten the length slightly. A few other reasons why i chose to do this(which is not something i do on my videos normally) is because i have been hit by copyright pretty hard on my channel. Being a music oriented channel it takes an IMMENSE amount of work, time and effort to avoid copyright. 75 percent of the time my uploads get copyright claimed (so no revenue pennies for me) and each time i upload i have to cross my fingers i dont get a copyright STRIKE (3 of those and your channel gets banned permanently). This is the reason why on some reactions from other reactors the video is flipped backwards, or cut and edited. And a HUGE part of why channels start patreons and channel memberships. I have neither of those things and almost 6 months of me being "monetized" i have made a grand total of 103 dollars on KZfaq. So again i didn't intend to RUIN anyone's experience of this video in the hopes that what was gained from this was 1)my insight on Danny 2) enjoying the song from Danny's perspective and 3)that my GENUINE and authentic reaction was captured in spirit for the entire video. Again i am sorry and all i ask is that you give my channel a chance because I have a bunch of other things on my channel you may enjoy, and that you can always look forward to me IMPROVING with every video i upload. I try to upload as often as i can but all this content (especially my drum covers and compositions) are a full days worth of work, and i have to juggle being a FULL TIME graduate student, and health concerns that i have to deal with the Veterans Affairs about often. Video explanation about all of this and my channel expectations*important* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adxpoZmctLK0ZIE.html

I never understood why someone would watch reaction videos, and get mad at the reactions. I appreciate the insight you and others make, keep up the good work!

I’ve probably watched over 40 reactions to this and yours is one of my favourites by far! Yes we come to hear what the person reacting has to say so no need to apologize for talking at any point. Great explanations of some of what Danny is doing in laymen’s terms for those of us who just enjoy music. Excellent job!

You are so right-on when you said that this is less a traditional "song," and more of an experience. It's a mesmerizing, hypnotic, trance-inducing, musical experience. Kudos to your reaction style and comments, they were thoroughly enjoyed by me.

I've watched too many reactions to this video to count, but this one was super interesting. To hear the insight of someone who is obviously a highly knowledgeable drummer who can appreciate on another level what Danny and TOOL are doing is especially enjoyable.

I love Danny Carry’s odd time and drum fills… He’s really a genius and also love the way his drums are tuned..

i always hear that danny is the center of tool... and while i more or less can undersand where people come from when they say that i also take into consideration how unbelievably talented adam and justin are. their unique and unbelievable talents bring out the best in danny. then you have maynard that comes in and makes the phenomenal musicianship of his partners seem even more surrreal.

Excellent reaction and breakdown of this drumming part! I don't even know how many times I've watched that video, definitely one of my favourite songs by Tool. One of the greats, Danny is an absolute machine.

I am so obsessed with this video, I don't know how many times I've watched it - plus pretty much every reaction out there too! I love watching people's expressions when they're like "damn this was incredible!" I will leave it to more experienced Tool fans to recommend what to listen to next. My personal favourites at the moment are Vicarious, The Pot, and Sober, and Pnuema of course! Great reaction 🖤🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼

It takes a drummer to properly headbob to this.

Can't believe people are still just finding Tool. Especially experienced musicians.

The drumming in Rosetta Stoned is probably Danny's most difficult and mesmerizing drum performance

The reason why people watch reaction videos is not for your insights, it is to live vicariously through you. Listening with someone who has never heard the song, and get to experience that first amazing reaction with you. I’ve seen this video a hundred times through different reaction videos, and the joy is listening to the whole song with a person who’s mind is being blown.

You gained a subscriber out of me based off this video. Your breakdowns are fantastic and you have actual interesting stuff to say while using terms non drummers but music fans can still understand.

to me, it is his use of dynamics that, is the part I love the most. starting with the rimshots, then the roll going into the second verse, and possibly my favorite is at the very end. it's all just so....musical. it fits the song, it adds to it without ever taking away from it. I read a quote from the producers of 10,000 days, and that was the word they used to describe this band. they went so far as to say TOOL is the most musical band they had ever worked with.

Their entire discography is magical, you can't pick a bad one in my opinion. Great reaction btw, really enjoyed your take on it!

Been listening to tool since 96

This was absolutely incredible! What are some of your favorite songs by Tool!

"Forty Six and 2", "Rosetta Stoned" and "Ticks and Leaches" are great examples of Danny being... Well... Danny

I'm not a musician but I am a music lover! I like watching drummers, guitarists, voice coaches do reaction videos because it illuminates whats going on behind what I'm hearing and enjoying. I may not understand some of the terminology but I still get a sense of whats actually happening! Amazing stuff!!

Danny is an octopus. So talented, along with the band.

18:00 Thanks for pointing out the rhythm pattern for the ride cymbal. I had never noticed that It’s a continuation of what he was doing earlier on the tambala. You’re the first person I’ve seen point that out. Awesome react, dude.

The first time I saw Tool play was in 1992 opening for Gwar at the Hollywood Paladium. I believe The Melvins played that night as well. I had never heard of them before that night and everyone of my friends commented on how much they liked Tool that night. I've been a fan since that night and have seen them play many times. It's been an amazing journey and the music never sounds dated or old. The songs and the story they tell are still relevant and poignant to this day. Simply amazing.

Descending is my favorite Tool song.

Ambience and Atmosphere. Yessir.

Its a symbyosis of 4 muscicians.just awsome

It’s very refreshing to hear a breakdown of an amazing song, from such an intellectual/intelligent viewpoint. Your efforts and experience are very much appreciated. Thank you, sir. May God please bless you and your efforts.

Danny wears a basketball jersey of what ever teams venue or city he is playing at. He has a massive collection of jerseys.

Great analysis, man! I've watched a bunch of reaction videos to this drum cam footage, and I think that yours is one of the most enjoyable. It's really fun hearing all the things that you pick up as a drummer. Thanks for posting!

thank you so much for this reaction - was hoping, but the timing worked out to make my day end great!

My favorite part about danny's style is now often he mixes up the time signature. I believe he runs like 4 different time signatures throughout this song. It really helps those drums pop while continuing to compliment, and not distract from, the rest of the instruments. Add in Maynard's vocals on top and this song is a fucking masterpiece.

Awesome Job!!!! Thanks for your great insight!!!

The polyrhythms embody the divine.

Good job on reacting and analyzing. Will watch more, keep em coming

Loved between 4:45 & 5:05 you were like "Oh wait... what?" Great reaction! 😎

yo this video evokes a response fro0m EVERYONE! good stuff!

echoing others, literally have watched 20+ reactions to this exact video and this one is my favorite by far. ez sub

Wow, that was an extremely comprehensive reaction! I am not a musician, but I understood everything that you said. Great job.

Hey. I've never did a "comment" on Any video on youtoob. But couldnt help now. You're awesome man. Ive seen this vid on Mr. Carey a thousnd times. Youre the first I assume is a pro. Yours truly, causul listerner. From Oregon and stoney

Wonderful experience of the song with such detailed explanation 👏

TOOL IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Liked and subbed.😀 Good stuff bro!

Good stuff man. You’re intuition and expertise on the drumming of this song and drumming in general was very informative.

Hey man, love the channel. Instant sub from me. You made an incredible insight around 9:00 about this track being an experience, about how rhythmic complexity can be used to overwhelm our inclination to count the bars, and helps us enjoy it purely for how it makes us feel.

I love the insight you bring to this video….keep doing what you’re doing

Thanks for your insights. Was a nice take on danny's skills.

It's definitely out of body. That are fucking amazing

Great reaction! You are spot on with it being 'experienced', rather than listened to. I saw them in '98 or 99', and '21 or '22, cant remember, in Aus. The tightness of the band, Maynard's voice. But it's the polyrhythmic beats from Danny, and a very loud live performance that reverberate sound-waves you feel through your ribcage that I remember most. It tickles the brain when you don't know you're being tickled. It's almost transcendent and hypnotises you into a subconscious presence. - Sounds like bullshit word-salad, I know. (unless you've been there:).

No way I loved the way you broke it down I'm no musician but the way you explained time signatures was awesome and showed your appreciation of his performance...thanks

I've been a tool fan for 20 years, and I've seen them live multiple times... I really appreciate your insight and perspective. First time watcher, and I'm subscribing. Glad to see the appreciation for an incredible experience

Saw them in New Orleans early this year and Danny is POWERFUL definitely a thing to behold

Great reaction, your knowledge of the drums helps us as listeners appreciate it. Thanks

Just found your channel. Loving the content so far. Also, love the Slaughter to Prevail mask you have!

I saw Meshuggah open for Tool in 2002 in Mississippi. Haake came out for a two-drummer set for Disposition/Reflection. Haake would use a stand up set of toms and a couple other things on stage, i don't remember. Great stuff thanks for vid 👍

Not sure how many drummer reactions I've watched to this point, but you're by far my favorite. You've gained a new subscriber and fan.

I'm only 5 minutes in to this video and I already LOVE your reaction!! Trying to count....Hot darn...thisnis great!!!

A song? it is an experience

Such a cool song/vid. Loved your analysis.

Yo bro. Nice job. Great videos. Drummers forever!

Thanks for the insightful reaction, which we watch for your thoughts so no worries about “interrupting.” Danny really started displaying his chops on the Ænima album, so you might take a listen to any of those-Jimmy and Third Eye being two of my faves. Subscribed. Now to see what you had to say re Tomas Haake and Meshuggah!

20 min doesn’t seem so long when listening to reactions to this song. It’s so good, this has to be my 15th listen to reactions to this song and I still want more.

Danny is an alien.

Good reaction 🤣. The octopus is supernatural! 👽🖖✌

Tool doesn’t do songs. They do experiences. Do more.

Always liked tool. But the first I watched and listened to this, I was like HOLY SHIT, Maynard’s jus a side piece 🤷‍♂️🤟

Dude, you nailed it. Very insightful analysis.

Bro, this is one of your best reactions yet. Because you didn’t just talk about what he’s doing, technically. You talked about the feel and how he guides you through the song. Truly some of the best Danny Carey analysis I’ve heard. You’re amazing at breaking these things down. 👌

I love you and will follow!

All those drums... What is this Tom-foolery ;) My favorite drummers to watch perform their magic are Danny Carey, The Rev(RIP), Mike Portnoy, Austin Archey, and Joey Jordison (RIP). Truly mesmerizing musicians.

Enjoyed this reaction. Great work.

I learn by watching reaction videos.

Shocked when i saw how many subs you have. This was a great watch, and you clearly know what you are talking about musically.

You're good bro. Excellent video. Understand your frustration.

Loved the commentary bud 👍🏻

I really liked your take on this. Cheers

Dude discovers Tool: Almost like you're not listening to it, you're feeling it. Tool fan: Yah😊

Great reaction thank you for the knowledge

Great réaction really great ! And im a guitarist 😉 but we re all one! 😉🤘🏻🎸

Nice job sir.

Great insight 🍻 knowledge 🍻

Very nice review! 18:07 I love that casual backhand Danny dishes out to that crash ^^

Funny you mentioned Meshuga . I watched them open for Tool in Oklahoma City on the Lateralus tour.

I've seen Tool twice, over a decade ago lol. I haven't been to a lot of concerts but I will rank them at the top... Next to the Eagles hahaha!!

Love the reaction. Also loving the Slaughter To Prevail mask on your kit.

The song opens with a time signature is 4/4 and the chorus is 4/4, then 13/8 followed by a measure of 5/8, over and over until he gets to his electronic solo which is 33/16. I saw a chart in the music store. The pattern repeats as the song slows down to the pace of the intro. Obviously, there are a ton of triplets and 1/32 notes.

I've been a TOOL fan for years now so ill share a few things I have learnt along the way. 1) TOOL have claimed in many interviews over the years that they do not use a clicker. 2) Danny was 59 years old when this album was released meaning he was late 50s in the making of it and continued into his 60s playing it live, and continues to do so. 3) Another claim by TOOL is they do majority of their own synths live (no backing tracks). 4) Maynard and his vocals are usually the last piece of a song. He claims that they will put together a piece and Maynard will insert his vocals in and around the music aspect. 5) Danny used to wear Converse shoes where he would grind/scrape down the bottom of them while riding his motorbike to make them thinner, now he wears wrestling shoes as they have a thin sole. 6) Danny fell into drumming after suffering an injury taking him out of pursuing a basketball career. 7) when they play a stadium, the home team will provide Danny with their Jersey with his name on it. 8) Danny is heavily involved in the R&D of his drums, working closely with drum manufacturers to design and test drum hardware. 9) Danny was rated #26 greatest drummer of all time by Rolling Stone. Feel free to add any more cool TOOL facts

Ticks and Leaches might be their most Drum heavy tracks. One of my favorites.

Yes I keep looking at it and I wanted to tell I got my first set at 62 I’ll be 63 in October and I’m doing my best pick up on the language but I actually understood everything you was say well not everything but a lot.. I enjoyed your show a lot ! Keep it coming

This is a reaction video! ARGH! I AM MAD! Dumb jokes and some commenters aside, as a fan of Tool for decades, I genuinely appreciated the review(especially mentioning the sound engineers(our unsung heroes!)). To those being not so kind... Stop it. Art is inherently subjective and someone shedding light on modern prog-rock is a glorious thing.

Nice reaction dude. It's always funny comparing the reactions of musicians to this song versus non-musicians. The bits that they marvel at are completely different. I'd definitely recommend Right In Two by them, it has like a 2-3 minute section where Danny is going nuts to give the song an incredible crecendo. Plus it's just generally one of Tool's best songs anyway. Check it out.

Listen I Appreciate Your Point of Review & the Knowledge U Speak of... Whomever is Complaining about the Little Stops U Are Making in Order to Comment to Us about what it is U Yourself See as a Drummer High in Character & High in Quality & Sharing your Drumming Intelligence with The Rest of Us Im Thankful of Your Time & Opinions... I Wil Subscride & Watch More of your Reviews, My Respect to U...

He's just a percussion god😊❤

He is working every side of his brain. I've watched this 10 times. I'm not a musician at all. This shyte blows me away. Danny rocks this shyte.

Overall a great reaction 👍🏻

Danny just has this nasty groove that there truly is no way to not be drawn to his polyrhythmic playing style. It mesmerized me when my 9th grade math teacher exposed me to Tool. Such a great player to look up too as well.

I'm not a drummer but your videos are extremely informative and watchable. Keep it up!

Excellent and unique reaction...think I have seen them all, ha. Tool composes like an orchestra. Every instrument and voice has a moving or stationary part at all times that creates a sound much larger and more complex than any quartet has any business producing. Sub'd!

I subscribed. Great reaction. Tool is my favorite sonically and lyrically. You may enjoy the drumming in Invincible from the same album. However, every single song is great on every album so you can't go wrong.

Danny actually wears the NBA jersey of the city that the concert is in that night, or closest to it.

Nice reaction, just found you yesterday and I love watching drummers appreciate each others' talents. I haven't read through all the comments here but one thing I've seen even other drummers misidentify is Danny's snare tone - if you listen closely you'll notice for the most part he no longer has the snare activated - that snare noise is made by rimshot. You don't see that very often because it requires a lot of power and precision to pull off consistently with the same tone. Live he's been doing it a long time, but I can't remember if it was lateralus or 10,000 days where that showed up in recording.
