There exists a Drum Cam of Danny playing this song. It is mindboggling what the man does on the drum kit. Well worth a watch even if not as a reaction. Is is simply fantastic.
You have to react to the drum cam for this song now! Danny Carey, Tool's drummer, will blow your mind in that vid and give you a whole new appreciation for their music.
Everyone is a Tool fan. Some just don't know it yet. I put myself on pre-order for this album. Yes, I bought the CD. 13 years from 10,000 Days left some us deprived of their genius. Funny fact: they launched this the same day as Taylor Swift's Lover album, and Tool absolutely dominated sales and streaming. I don't have anything against Taylor and her Swifties, but it was hilarious to see her numbers just get crushed. The Tool Army arrived.
I believe they pronounce it "New-Mah". There's a drum cam of Danny Carey playing this song on the Vic Firth channel, well worth a watch to see "The Octopus" in action! It has 33 million views at the moment.
I am going to a tool concert in my hometown in a few months when they are touring through europe and I am beyond excited. The live Version of Danney Carey playing this opened my eyes to Drumming in a new way. I highly recommend you watch the Danney Carey - Pneuma live drum cam, Reaction or private. I love watching masters of their craft at work
The drummer is a master at timing signatures. Most of their music switches between them within a song. At first, I had trouble with this band because I wasn't used to it within the metal genre. I've learned to accept it now. This song switches between 12/8, 11/8, and 10/8, with a tempo of 114 BPM. People are mostly used to 4/4.
@@predatorkitten Absolutely! He is the reason I stuck with the band. I was really turned off at first. My father was an opera singer and conductor. He would explain to me as a kid about this stuff (I'm 54). I look back now and realize how much that opened my eyes to other types of music and how technical it can be. My husband is a guitarist and he went to MIT in LA back in the day. I got to learn through him about theory and whatnot. I look for talent now more than just a specific genre (not that I listen to opera or anything but you know what I mean LMAO).
another prime example of a great truth in our world: *the 'Tool stankface' is real, and it is universal.* highly recommend watching the Vic Firth drum cam of Danny Carey, just so you can *see* the polyrhythmic glory of the middle section. one of my favorite songs of all time; if you haven't listened yet, go for track three on this album, as well: Invincible.
When main bass phrase comes in... 2-3-3-3-3-2-3-3-3-3-2-3 (x4) - could be thought of as 33/8 I guess, but I don’t think anyone wants to think of a long count like that Then short measure when the phrase goes up in pitch 2-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-3 (25/8) Then back long 2-3-3-3-3-2-3-3-3-3-2-3 (33/8)
Great video, I love watching people discover Tool. You should totally do the Live version on this that's a Drum cam on Danny Carey (the octopus 🐙) the vic flirth video If you do, keep In mind Danny is 60 in the video. He also used to play basketball so he's literally like 6'8". Can't wait for more Ps. The Grudge, Maynard holds a 25 second belt 😮
Yeah we are talking physical copies. Tool fans like to hold a CD or the album in our hand and get the artwork that comes along with it. Fear innoculum came in a case that had a video screen on it that plays a video and pages of artwork
@anthonyrayreacts gotta watch the drum cam of Danny playing this live. Everyone of these sounds is programmed into his drum pads he used along with his kit. Except the keyboard sound synth. Thats a pedal on the guitar.
But synchopation and polymetrics are two different things. Synchopation is when you place notes or stress between the beats. Polymetrics is when you play different time signatures simultaneously. Tool do both things. Plus they also use additive rhythms, where you string measures of different time signatures together in complex patterns (like this song)
Anthony! so nice to see you finally letting yourself go in one part of the song, closing your eyes, and just becoming with the music, without going for the analysis! lol It is so difficult to not want to analyze everything you are hearing from them because it is always unexpected! haha but letting yourself go deep in their music is even better than getting to understand it at the first listening!
They finally release all albums digitally a week after the drop of this Album. Great tool reactions ! Thank you for your ability to be inciteful of the music and not pausing annoyingly. Super looking forward to watch more of your channel. Check out Wings For Marie 1&2 from the 10,000 days album.
Don't feel bad for missing the Tool boat. It happened to an entire generation. Basically, Tool, until they released this most recent album in 2019, didn't have ANY of their music on streaming services. No iTunes. No Spotify. No downloading their songs on digital jukeboxes. If you didn't purchase their CDs, you didn't hear Tool. All of that, coupled with a 13 year hiatus between their last 2 albums, and a lot of young people basically never heard the best band on the planet. Congrats.

With how much you are enjoying the flow of the musicscape that Tool produces, another band that I believe you would enjoy is called Sleep Token. Their track The Summoning is a definitely a journey to experience.
every reaction i see of yours AR, i become more of a fan, your insight is always appreciated, at the end you said you liked that the song was "long" it validates my taste in music.
This song is like weed for your brain. Such a calming presence to this track. Love it. Watch the drummer drum this song live. Danny Carey. Trust me... everything ur hearing is the drummer. Hes a mad man.
Tool is really unique, and everything they do is great. If you like the longer songs, there are plenty of them. Like others said, I hope you will watch the drum cam video of this song. Danny Carey is amazing to watch live. He is doing so many things at once, so precisely. It's fantastic. I don't see that anyone has given you the link yet, so here it is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FssULNGSZIA.htmlsi=Auj9Q16jzceIm-NS
What you’re hearing when it kinda sounds off beat is them constantly changing time signatures. And the insutrment you’re hearing in the beginning is their drummer on some sort of tom drum.
When Fear Inoculum first came out it took the #1 place away from Taylor Swift shortly after she released her album. Online hilarity between Taylor Swift fans and Tool fans ensued.
The stuff you're talking about in regards to the riff going over the rest of the beat, that's very typical of Tool and especially Danny Carey's drumming, he incorporates a lot of polyrhythms and polymeters so quite often will be drumming in different time signatures to the rest of the instruments. You can sort of get a better example of it if you watch the official drum cam of this song (Search for - Danny Carey | "Pneuma" by Tool (LIVE IN CONCERT) - it's by Vic Firth). There are points during that song where Danny Carey is playing 4 different time signatures at the same time (each limb on a different time signature). it's why they call him the human octopus, amongst other things.
First rule of Tool, dont talk through the entire song lol. I understand as a "Reaction" you need to talk but stopping a Tool song or talking through it just decreases the overall vibe. To each their own.
