Drinking a beer. Holding a newborn. Listening to Tool. This man is my new favorite person.

6:55 - Maynard: "Child, wake up" Jack: "zzZZzzZZzzzzZZZZzz"

Danny Carey was playing 3/8 with his right hand, triplets with his left hand while matching the 4/4 of the bass guitar with the right kick and HH on the left foot. And it's incredible to hear the 3/8 come around to line up with the 4/4 at different points every few measures. The band is pure magic.

Vic Firth needs to do this for an entire concert already. I would 100% buy a BluRay of it

Jack’s first music experience is with Tool, can’t get any better than that! Dad of the year

"They NEED the drums, they NEED the blunt force trauma, they need Danny Carey." - Best parenting advice, ever.

"They NEED the rhythm, they NEED the blunt force trauma, they NEED DANNY CAREY!" Dude explaining parenting while holding newborn. 👍

One thing I love about Danny Carey (besides the fact that he's the octopus) is his economy of movement. His arms and legs do nothing more than is required of them to execute each drum hit. It's amazing to watch.

As a professional drummer, I can say with full confidence that this 12 minute video is a masterclass in rock drumming and is easily one of the top 5 drumming videos in KZfaq history. As far as greatest living drummer, it's him and Vinnie Coluiata, and it's not even really close.

That baby is the physical representation of my brain when listening to tool.

Jack’s gonna find and open his third eye before he’s 2. Just sayin’.

Just retitle this “Newborn becomes Tool fan and learns polyrhythms.”

"They need the blunt force trauma, they need Danny Carey."

And yeah, I’m the middle part, his hi hat is in 4/4, his snare is in 3/8 and his other hand is doing triplets... mad scientist octopus alien robot

Danny carey inspiring drummers... and crushing their dreams all at the same time 🤘🤗

There are always two levels of amazement when I watch Danny Carey. There’s the level where I am shocked anyone has the ability to play what he does, let alone play it while keeping time, and then there’s the level where I think about how genius you must be to WRITE what he is playing

I feel like I'm watching a Paul Rudd movie 😂.

That's how a father has to be. Listening to rock and drink beer while holding baby. My father did the same....I'm a drummer now 😂

The picture of a TRUE man. Beer, newborn and Tool.

Takes the phrase "rock the baby" to the next level. Good dad vibes! well done.

There is something so nice about watching someone enjoy watching musicians and listening to music as much as I do.

I'm surprised this song didn't make Jack rise up from your arms like a Phoenix and start floating haha

“Dude... this is Danny Carey. You see it?” That wee boy is going to rock.

We are lucky to be alive in the time of Danny Carey. He’s like a Beethoven of drumming. The greatest of all time.

Jack starts his life with the best music possible. I envy him.

I’ve watched several reactions to this and I’ve come back to yours three times. Your passion for music and enthusiasm for Danny and tool is so evident throughout all of this. It’s a joy to watch.

Watching him react with such genuine Joy is awesome. I've seen a bunch of reactions to this (because I need an excuse to watch Danny play this over and over), and this is my favorite. This Guy is the real deal in terms of appreciation, understanding, and pure enjoyment in his reaction. Plus a Baby being introduced to Tool. Perfect. Kudos Bro

Drinking a beer, passion for the music, appreciation for one of the most interesting bands in existence and a joke about a pearl necklace. How the hell did you get that cool while staying so genuine and nice? I think I'll subscribe just for your personality.

Danny is a national treasure and needs to be guarded 24 & 7.

"I'm gonna see if my whife wants a perl necklace" Ha! You dirty bastard! :D

6:45 "And that Adam Jones -- that freakin' guitar sound... listen to the meat." Brilliant

I heard Tool for the first time this 2020 summer and I cannot get enough. I'm 58 and since Danny and I are both from KS I love them even more. Maynard's father was a wrestling coach and Maynard wrestled in High School. Those stances he takes are taken from wrestling stances, there is no doubt about it. Anyway, I share your love of Tool, it's like nothing I've ever heard, its a symphony of Rock. Keep up the good work!

Best reaction of this vid I've seen so far, finally someone who know's what he's looking at

the kids no longer yours, it has ascended and he's now a part of the TOOL ARMY.

This guy parents. For real tho early exposure to this music is so great. My dad played Rush and Black Sabbath around the house when I was a little kid and I'm in love with music as a result. You rock man.

With the passing of Neil Pert recently I dont think there is any question that Danny Carey is the undisputed best drummer in the world. That was some of the most amazing shit I've ever seen, I literally had to bow down at the end of the song.

Drinking a beer, holding your 4th boy, listening to tool. You deserve that beer 🍺

What separates danny from other metal/prog rock drummers is ABSOLUTEY creative. From the odd equipment used to his unbelievably different style. He TRULY makes drums an absolute instrument. I think only drummers would understand that last sentiment

I haven't seen a drummer yet who has given as good an analysis as this one! really well articulated, and your joy is evident too, really great.

I've watched dozens of these reactions to Pneuma, and yours is BY FAR the best because I could feel the Tool energy pulse from them through you. It takes your breath away! Also, I have never seen someone simultaneously listen to each band member while hearing it as a whole like I do. Most people can only focus on one instrument at a time. This full body musical experience is a gift! 😁❤️🤘

"A human being actually do it" I had a couple friends that said there was no way he was not using over dubs in the recording of this song. I could not wait to show them this.

The only virtue comparable to Danny Carey's talent is Jack's ability to ignore him

10:30 Danny actually uses a remote/"cable" hi-hat stand. He's operating the pedal with his left foot, but it's separated from the rest of the hi-hat stand, which he positioned between his bass drums. At this part, he's playing (very light) quarter notes on the bass drum, as well as with the hi-hat. From what I've seen, when he's keeping a consistent pulse on the hi-hat like this, I _believe_ he utilizes a sort of back-and-forth rocking motion (toe to heel) with his left foot; that's why you don't see him moving his left leg very much here--because he's primarily just using his foot.

The smile and excitement on his face is literally the most wholesome thing of 2020 ☺️

Congrats on the new baby boy! He’s so adorable

Danny is 58, he is an absolute beast, one of the best drummers ever

Are you sure that ding at 2:04 wasn't part of the song? I mean the timimg and tone was so perfect.

6:08 "That only build harmony and melody. What about the rythm? They need the drums!" One of the best things I've ever heard said about music. Thank you.

"Pearl necklace" that was great. I could not stop laughing

That last fill with the alternating hand ghost notes is insane. He's freaking accenting/rolling the bass drums, too. Dude is the best.

What Danney Carey is able to do in this song is pretty damn difficult... this man is an Octopus. A fucking legend. Tool is just amazing.

This is a masterpiece of drumming! I never get tired of watching it! Danny is easily in my top five favorite rock drummers ever! His posture is remarkable! More impressive than the video is how Jack didn’t move in almost 20 minutes!😂

The precision of a surgeon, power of a Linebacker, brain of a genius. 72 rs old saw them 3 times and unforgettable. Nice job on this.

He is 58 years old

Everyone in this band is the best in all of music at what they do... And when they play together, somehow they're even better, they elevate even higher. Unbelievable.

I cant stop watching these danny carey pneama reactiion vids, this is my fav so far and yes now your baby Jack is embobied with the artistry that is tool in his conciousness. Can anyone reccomend anything better than this or not to compare but similiar? yuo were chair rocking out like me, almost an irony with a baby in your arms and then playing tool..i was born in 82 and these guys were my childhood but i didnt even realise the technique and godliike magestry of the drums of danny carey till now. I could go on about the greatness of this vid for ever and i will still never understand everything that is happening musically all i know is it makes me feel like im watching the absolute dedidcation and strength and talent and on a level i can only dream of. cheers

It’s insane how he can keep two different time signatures like you’re listening to two drummers. I like his use of volume like in the cross sticking section. He’s definitely the best drum writer of our time.

Why’s does he keep calling that weird new guitar Jack?

yes we all know Danny is a monster on the kit but when I saw 12:41 here it gave me the same chills it did when I witnessed it live.

TOOL is the absolute greatest band ever. And everyone goes to see Danny Carey. But the whole bands musical ability is unmatched!!

That little boy is gonna have the best taste in music when he grows up. Starting him early. Thats how you do it dad.

Danny Carey is 58... FIFTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD...!!!! And he'll be 59 in May...

What a friggin masterpiece this song is. Danny, man, what a drumming genius

I've been fortunate enough to see both Neil Peart and Danny Carey live. Both absolutely blew my mind.

Aww, little Jack is such a beautiful kid! And he’s absorbing those polyrhythms! You’re a good dad, Michael!

Tool. You just can't replace any of these guys. They perform so freaking awesome as a band. In harmony.

Bless you Michael. ✝️

Lol I was turning up my volume Split second Thought I was going to wake up your new handsome son He sleeps like a Rock Your Blessed!

First of all, wee Jack is *adorable*.... & fortunate to get Tool so early! So glad you did post this- it's great to see a capable musician just let rip with insight, enthusiasm, & respect, in regard to other players' performances. Loved this! All the best from house arrest in Scotland! :)

Tool changed my music perspective, the best band in the f***** World.

Omg. Omg. That baby is on his way. That’s beautiful bro. Father and son moment x 1000

That baby needs to hear more Tool. You’re a good dad for lettin him hewwr the greatest band alive

Totally agree - such a wicked beat - always amazes me how well they connect. And Danny is amazing. Love your passion. I’m there with you man. 👍.

Watched a heap of reviews of this clip, and no one has mentioned how tight these guys must be off stage and in life itself. Especially the writer and vocalist, Maynard. They must be devoted to him. The best of the best of friends.Take a bullet for you twice kind of friends.He brings the utmost out of them, causing them to elevate their games to levels like here....wow. His writing, vocals and stage presence demand respect, and they're glad to give it. And more. This isn't a gig for them. A way to get chicks and make money. This is a family. A very tight, talented and dedicated one.

Brand new baby dolly. Omg! So sweet. Good way to start the boys off. On Tool!

Bro, you do it well normally… but drinking a beer with a baby in your arms is a special level of doing it

5:57 "This is good parenting right here" You feel that Jack?!

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen dude

"Jack, you feel that?... this is good parenting right here" Love it.

Its so refreshing to see someone love this as much as I do, I have watched this video about 20 times now, its so amazing!

Love how you can baaarely see Maynard in the back groovin' and watching Danny throw down.

I am a drummer and have watched over 40 reactions to this video and FINALLY someone mentions the cross arm cymbal crashes at 13:09. It is a move sometimes used for flash. In this instance, not only is it because he is that far into the groove, the precision with which he lands both of those crashes without looking is amazing. Thanks for your reaction video. It is one of my top 5 now easily!

Hey there Jack, you little cutie pie!😍 Are you having fun with your Pop's? I think you and brother's will eventually be entertaining him with a band of your own. Thank you for visiting us! Come back soon !☺💕👣

You being a guitar teacher,knowing how to read and create music is a true gift. The fact we get the wonderful gift watching Danny Carey masterful Drumming is awesome.......

His hand eye coordination is insane. I would bet he's got a somewhat photographic memory.

For God sakes man, check Jack's pulse!

Every musician I know or have ever seen has the same look on their face when they listen to Tool! It's like we can feel how good it is.

I got a newborn and we jam every morning! Teaching your boy right! God bless him from Alabama

Between the guys on Lost on Vegas and this Dude both reactions are inspiring for so many reasons. It's strange to say, but as many times as I've seen both it actually sets a good tone to my day or picks me up when it's been a rough one! The unintended consequence of just being genuine! KZfaq Emmy nominee in my book! Thank you!

I couldn’t convey in the right way to people when I talk about my love for TOOL but you nail it. I was at this show in Boston with my 22 year old daughter and they didn’t disappoint. This band is a MONSTER🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

9:10 . Didn't catch the high hat till you pointed it out . The tabla and snare already had me floored. He's unreal.

Seen several reactions had to come back to yours...love how you pointed out the strength and power to get back in time. Not a lot pointed that out or the dynamic of having to wait after hitting so hard to get back in the pocket, every fkn time!!!

Your reactions between 12:32 and 13:05 just made my day. You simply can't stop smiling. It's such an incredible experience to watch & listen Tool, i shared the joy with you while i was watching the video. Kiss Jack for us, welcome the army little fella :)

When the little guy develops those neck muscles he’ll be a little head banger. Good job dad 👍

This drumcam is a video every drummer or percussionnist should see at least once a week, to remember how important it is to keep training and stay humble

danny carey is insanely good. beyond good; out of this world talented. i can't watch this and not get chills. unreal.

Danny Carey is the closest thing to Neil Peart I ever saw. I have seen both, stunning in their execution. Tool has been a favorite since I first heard them.

Jack is rockin TOOL in his sleep. Great parenting indeed my friend. Great parenting indeed.

I have seen this video many times. Wonderful, Tool is great and Danny perfect. Greetings from Chile

I hope that little child is next Danny Carey. Coolest dad ever. Newborn and tool and beer. You dont need more.
