Thanks Paul, for introducing Xanny to Tool :)

The octopus 🐙 is the greatest

Now you realize why Danny "the Octopus" Carey is the God of all things Drums & Percussion

Dude is 62 years old right now. 59 years old (3 years ago so most likely) at the time of this video. He's a MONSTER.

I was there. It was my 6th Tool show and my wife’s 1st. I told her to pay attention to Danny. It’s always something special witnessing all them. But you can feel the percussion throughout your entire body.

That was just ONE song! Imagine how he feels after a full concert! Great reaction as always, and genuinely happy you’re enjoying your journey! Pass along my thanks to Paul! 😎

I've been listening to tool now for like 25 years, and when I started I was always trying to find the groove to bop my head as well. I gave up, haha. Now I just wiggle around like an octopus without giving a crap.

I knew you'd enjoy this video. Danny is definitely a machine....especially when you realise he's 62 years old and still crushing it!

Danny is one of the greatest percussionists alive today, man. He inspired me to learn how to play. You're right, what he does is not easy to do, but he makes it look easy. That's a sign of a true pro. He's an incredible drummer, and I'd argue he's the backbone of Tool. I think a lot of their music is written to play around his drumming, when it's the other way around with most bands. Great reaction to a great video, bro. Thumbs up!

Danny was 59 years old when this was filmed!

There is no other band like this one.

If you love Tool you'll love Rush, Danny's favorite drummer played in this band.

Danny was already like almost 60 years old when this was filmed 🥶

I was in the 4th row, center, at this show. So amazing.

XANNY... I think someone needs to tell you something about this particular band...the band is insane, did you know that the lyrics are written by Maynard after, try wrapping your head around this, after the music is written... Vicarious is by far my favourite track...it's about everyone having a fascination with death...but it is so eloquently written, it makes the whole idea of death seem absolutely beautiful. You just received a new subber brother. The rabbit hole you just jumped into will be impossible to exit...and that is a good thing. Enjoy.

Top 3 danny reactions of all time! Awesome stuff..

Glad to have you here with us brother. Enjoy the ride….

I am an admitted Tool Homer. So I love watching these reaction videos. As someone who knows nothing about the technical aspects, all I can say is Tool is what I must imagine it was like to experience Zeppelin for the first time. From a Classic/Progressive Rock view I suppose, but still. Yours was my favorite reaction, immediate follow! 😂

Each appendage has its own brain.... The Octopus.... 4 different time signatures.... the whole song.... great reaction...

what's amazing is during that sequence his right foot is on the high hat, left foot on the bass pedal, and each arm is playing a different sequence, all while adding an extra note to each hand after a few cycles. 4 limbs, 4 different rythyms. Impossible right? nope not for the octopus. Danny is the GOAT

Danny = 🐙 It’s always trips me out (in a good way), after listening to this band for 32 years, to see people still connecting with Tool. Your boy Paul deserves a thank you and a pint for putting you down this rabbit hole. There’s going to come a point when you realize that tool legitimately doesn’t miss. Every song is legit.

My drum kit watches this when I’m not home.

So glad you're keeping this up and you are definitely spiraling out!!!!!

Danny isn't catching up to the sequences; he's leading them.

I love how all the craziness of this long song.. at the end he just goes tink tink on the symbols and gently puts his sticks down on the drum and then pushes his hair out of his face. ....legend!

The TOOL rabbit hole goes deep!

He's the metronome of the band

TOOL..... 3 Aliens and an octopus form a band..... Danny definitely has to be part octopus. All true artists

I can nod my head to this easy. The trick is to just listen to it for about... 20 years

Xanny, notice Danny's posture! Strong core!! Most drummers do Not have his posture!!

Danny plays "Poly rhythms" throughout this track, and entire album (different rhythm with each limb!) He is an Alien 👽

The purple hummung bird part where he free solos, the thing that's most impressive is when you realize he has a different time signature for EACH LIMB. The Octopus is the best alive

Danny Carey is an outstanding percussionist, not just drummer. The mathematical tempo the band follows with each of their albums brings you consistent tempo changes. He is able to keep four limbs working….each with a different time sequence. He is absolutely ridiculous

"7empest" and "Ticks and Leeches" next please. Or actually "The Grudge" and "Eulogy". Well any Tool song really :)

I've been waiting for you to do this video. I came across TOOL and Danny in the early '90s, changed my drumming forever.

Danny also plays in a jazz band. Usually at the "Baked Potato" in Cali.

I love watching a truly intelligent person viewing and listening to TOOL. Thank you!

Danny is awesome! He truly should be recognized as one of the greatest drummers!

A Tool show is fucking hype, beginning to end.

Hes a percussion God plain n simple😊

Danny Carey is dialed in, bro!

TooL brings it home like nobody else. Past. Present. Future. They are the musical unicorn. It might take your ear a few times to catch on. But they set the hook. And once you’re hooked you know. They always deliver.

You could totally fit a drum set in that room you’re in 😉

Spamming "Right in Two", there, it's that one :D great video, thanks!

The time in the verse is a phrase of 33. You can break that down to 6-6-5-6-5-5 (easier to count IMO) or 12-11-10. Oh, and there’s no click track in their ears. They just go out and crush it every night.

Danny is a machine

"TOOL - Stinkfist Front Row Live Atlantic City" This is a good one to check out!!

Danny plays the drums like rolling thunder... Then lightning

I enjoyed when you commended Danny for keeping rhythm... Do you realize that he's the main driver of the crazy odd time signatures? Adam Jones (guitar) has said the reason he and Justin Chancellor (bass) don't move around the stage or jam out much is they're "too busy counting." 😂

TOOL expanding your mind here I like it! lol

Reactions like yours is awesome I been tool fan since 1994 and am excited for this new wave of fans just explode .. Tool deserves that and you do to

All Members of the Band are great and contribute, but Danny is a Master Musician

Danny plays the mushrooms like they were drums.

Saw them twice on the 10,000 Days tour...Got tossed between mosh pits for a couple hours, lost all my friends in the chaos...Tool shows are something else. I felt bad that I brought one of my friends to his first concert and brought him to Tool...poor guy had no idea what he was in for.

THE ; greatest drummer and thats not to say that this man is an awesome human

Just another Tuesday for Danny.. ;)

It's the best song ever created

Legend goes that Danny Carey made a deal with the devil. We don't know what Danny got from the deal but the devil got drum lessons

That dude is 60 years old. OG Beast Mode!

And Danny is over 60 years old the GOAT

Right in Two, next!

You haven't and you will continue to not encounter a band with a better catalog of music, let alone better "outros." TOOL is their own genre. Enjoy the ride my friend. Love your enthusiasm. You want to hear TOOL at their ultimate best? Listen to, "Pushit," from the album, "Salival." The album is a collection of live tracks that was put out at a time when TOOL fans were hungry or, "salivating," for a new TOOL release so the band put together some live recordings, hence the album title: "Salival." Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend listening to the Salival version of Pushit. The song has 3 crescendos and Maynard really lets loose on vocals. It's an amazing song . Spiral out, keep going.

Outstanding video and honest reaction! Please keep up the good content! Best of luck!

My favorite drummer of my favorite band. Tool is touring soon, go see them!

I'm stealing this from someone else. "Every band member has a solo. They just play them all at once."

One ToOl Army rule, don't ever get caught trying to head bop! 😂😂😂 You can see all the people trying at concerts, it's hilarious.

Really great reaction video. What a fun watch.

I remember the feeling I had when I first heard Tool. I still have that same feeling today when I listen to their music

I was at that concert and then saw them again in Boston last year and will be seeing them again back in Boston on November 15th. Danny is a true G.O.A.T 🐐 and TOOL is amazing to see live, hope you get the chance to see them.

I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS TO TOOL!! Definitely a subscribe.❤🤘😁🤘

It’s a testament to how many times I’ve watched this Pneuma video that I could tell the reaction was out of sync with the source by exactly one bar during that amazing interlude. Decent editing job to work around them ads too!

You dont find Tool. They find you!

Awesome reaction Dude,you get it .

You have to check out "Tool - Sober Live (Pro Shot) Remastered" recorded at Reading Festival 1993. The video is old and in poor quality, but the performance is amazing. Highly popular reaction video. 👋

Shout out to Paul for introducing you to Tool…love your reactions…as a percussionist with roots in world percussion, polyrhythms are my language 😊…(btw, Danny is in his 60s)

The craziest thing about Tool to me is that they don't play live, or record their albums, to a click track. It's all natural baby!

Danny is 6'5" and he's 62 years old. Fuckin maniac

Danny is one of the GOATS!!! I’m 45 years old and grew up on Tool. I first seen them in 1992 and I was hooked. Favorite Tool song is Opiate

And btw, Danny is almost 60 years old in this performance!

Best band period

There are lyrics in Lateralus that say..."Overthinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind. Withering our intuition leaving opportunities behind." Think about what that means the next time you go in and listen to TOOL.

Glad you’re enjoying the Tool journey. Next up please take a look at Hush by Tool. Short song with a simple message. Short songs are unusual for tool also lol.

WOOOOO! LETSSSS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOOL membership requires Genius! 👏😉👍✌️🙏❣️

Tool is their own category. However, if you want to see the video all metal songs are measured by, it’s “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due” by Megadeth. Lead singer was kicked out of Metallica back in the day! Must watch, trust me!!

Not sure if it's been stated but Danny, Adam and Justin all finish their parts then send it to Maynard and he then writes the lyrics.

Having been to a show of theirs in daytona beach florida, every single time danny hits that kick drum, every cell in your body vibrates. The guitar feels like electricity in your nerves, and the drums literally feel like they shake the earth. It's fucking wild

Record your TOOL convos with your boy Paul. We would watch that too. 😂

Funny enough that smile at the end was because he messed up but it was so quick you don't even notice it 😂

YupYup!

many people thought that these were electric made noises. but it was him

🔥

i tried to keep up and count how many times you said the word CRAZY , I lost track but i would bet that it was close to amount of times that Danny hit his snare drum , lmao

Anyone has to listen a few times to be prepared and fully take it all in.

🤘🏻🌀

Danny keeps the rhythm because he wrote the rhythm

Danny Carey 6ft 5" can you believe this guy is over 60 and plays like that. He could do more if he had more arms and legs........ wanna see a brain scan while he plays. I love watching people discover this and watching the tops of their heads explode.

Danny is known as an octopus 🐙 but i think Extraterrestrial Cybernetic Squid is more appropriate. 👽 🤖 🦑 (squids have 2 more arms than octopi) Spiral Out 🌀 Keep Going 👁‍🗨

3min40sec into the track xanny be like "I have to give danny credit bro, give him credit!" tool army: just wait...😂

Don’t worry about the beat. I think most people like a consistent beat; it’s predictable. With Tool you have to go with the flow of music knowing they will probably surprise you in the next transition. Relax on the musical journey.
