Tool - Pneuma (Danny Carey ​⁠​⁠​⁠@VicFirthCompany drum cam) Pianist reacts

Master of poly-rhythms. I'm reminded of a joke I heard about Danny. People say he made a deal with the devil. No one knows what Danny got, but the devil got drum lessons.

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.

Drummer here. The time signatures, the drum fills, the percussion, the tuning of his snare … Danny is on another level.

"What do you want me to say, dude?" Thats probably the best thing to say after watching that video.

First time I’ve seen Judson mesmerized. Danny is a beast of odd time signatures and innovation.

22 year long drummer here. Danny can be summed up with the following words: skill, ability, creativity, precision, stamina, and greatness. For me, he’s the best living drummer.

Danny Carey once said in an interview that he doesn't play beats, he plays songs. I think "Pneuma" is clearly one of those songs that showcase that fact the most. Great reaction btw, guys.

I've been a drummer for 35 years and I am just as mesmerized u are. 😝

That vid has 33 million views and I’m 32 million of them. Danny’s performance in this video literally push this song to my top 3

Seeing Jutson being like a dear in the headlights, looking insanely confused for most of the song was exactly what I imagined😂😂. I think we broke him guys.

What a gorgeous piano intro to this video. Absolutely stunning.

This was from the first tour after the album and you can tell that they were so excited and proud to play this song live for their fans. It’s so infectious the excitement they have it puts a smile on my face watching it every time

For the first time I saw Jetson so hypnotizingly confused and focused for the entire song. Great Measures indeed!

I never tire of watching this or listening to others hear/analyze it for the first time.

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.

Homie is looking around like, "anyone else see that sh*t?!" LOL. That's how good Danny is! Thank you for your reaction 🖤

As a drummer, if I could only use one word to describe that, it would be DYNAMICS.

I was in the 4th row, center, at this performance. It was the 6th or so song out of about 12, I believe. Danny is a beast and the whole show was just as incredible.

I think maby many drummers are able to learn how to play it, but creating such a master piece is next level! TOOL forever❤🤘

Richard having that proud friend smile as Judson is fully mesmerized by Danny Carey was the best part
