100% all natural rhythym from the octopus armed master of polyrhythmic paradiddles 🤘

It's a bloody Eurorack/Analogue synth maodules. Maybe someone with an entire house full of the things and 30 years of their life to waste can create some descent tracks 🤣but I was dissapointed when Danny used it on tour, no disrespect to enthusiasts, but...

@@iisotter8944 Tool uses specific and oftentimes modified equipment to get a specific sound from their instruments. Especially in concert since there isnt any post production mastering involved as is done in studio versions. If Danny were to use anything else it would simply sound sub-par from what fans expect to hear. You've got to respect that Danny takes the time to make the adjustments to his equipment personally before each song, and not leaving it to a stage tech.

@@FuhQH8Me4Lyfe I know that, but to his left ontop of his trigger modules there is a Eurorack/Analogue synth rack. That is the one with all the wires and lights. I have had alot of modular synths myself, that's how I know how difficult and time consuming they are too sound good. On the last tour of the UK Danny did about a 15 min solo. This is when he used the Eurorack as a backing percussion track. Just wished he had not used it, the bloody thing sounded awful, and I think it would have been a banging drum solo without it, a sentiment shared by myself a drummer, and the other 3 drummers I was with. Being a Tool fan since 92 mate, Danny is a genius on the drums, not trying to take anything away from the brilliance.

@@iisotter8944 right on, no derision intended my friend 🤘

Richie Gajate Garcia is known as "El Pulpo", the octopus. He is a famous percussionist who has been a big influence for me personally.

Ahhh that answers a few of my questions haha. Thank you for explaining 😁

@@ThomFoolery1 Sorry! I lied. They "only" have 128 detection rings and can detect 127 different strike velocity. o_O *whoopsie* Should have checked. Still they are crazy things and Danny Carey has been involved with their developement. :)

Thank you for the response. Tool is a throwback to the days when bands knew the songs and each other. They would look to each other for the queues rather than sheet music and conductor, or sorts, or just taking the studio experience onto a live stage. Personally, I can't play to a click. My Metronome is in my head, Every now and again the musical choice might be to play a little ahead or behind the beat. The click makes it more sterile. Perfection in musical performance isn't always the goal. Expression, feeling and emotion work better for me and my taste. Another great example of the musical interchange between musician, melody, rhythm and not being afraid to leave space in a composition is Weather Report.

He actually said "The Grudge" endurance wise, and mentioned "Invincible" and "Tempest" because he's "not as used to playing them".

Cheers Maxime! Yeah I didn't even try to comprehend the rhythms in this one. Too much for my tiny brain. 😂

🤣🤣👏👏

Just about after he lost concentration and smiled right?

@@jimmyg.6487 yes, right there.. and then just ripped through those fills, like "I'll show them" 😁

He actually didnt screw up there. Another pro drummer reacted to this and said sometimes a drummer gets caught wanting to double up a strike and will sometimes check themselves on beat. Thats the hesitation you saw. He never went off time.

Cool! Thanks
