Wow, did I really stumble upon a new video that was only a few minutes old? After watching your videos for years, and especially after watching them for almost half of the last 24 hours because I couldn’t sleep due to my health problems, I finally got lucky and came across one that was just a few minutes old instead of years old. 😄

I’ve been watching your Tribals channel occasinally for like four years or so. Usually, I would watch maybe 1, 2, 3, 4 videos, and then I wouldn’t see anything from the channel for many months until I came across it again.

But yeah, during the past 24 hours, I have watched a lot of your videos.

And one thing I want to say is that I am truly thankful for your idea of giving us the opportunity to see people from different tribes, different backgrounds, with different knowledge and different points of view.

And I’m sure that they are also very thankful to you, because you give them the opportunity to experience something new and to learn new things. They seem to have such an open mind, and I really enjoy seeing how they react to things that may be completely new to them.

They have the experience of seeing something from our side, and I wanted to experience the same from their side.

So, if you can, maybe you could show us more of your culture and your friends’ cultures, and different cultures as well. I think that there is a lot for me to learn as well.

So, a very big thank you to you and to your friends for their different points of view and for the things they share. They are really great, and I’m very thankful that I am living at a time when I can see all of this.

My grandparents couldn’t see this. My great-grandparents couldn’t see this. But I can see it. I am thankful that I can.

To be honest, I am very thankful that I am living at a time when we are growing our knowledge about this world and about our universe so much, and at such a rapid pace. I am grateful for that, and I’m very happy for my children that they can learn even more about our universe than I could.

So, back to Tool.

What I want to say is that the greatness of Danny doesn’t come from how fast he can play. He doesn’t play fast at all. His greatness comes from the things he doesn’t play.

He cuts all the fat away and plays only the “basic” core things. But those “basics” are the rules on which these songs are based, and the way he places those things is very hard to do.

With the minimal amount of things that he does, it doesn’t sound complicated at all.

It’s the same with Tool as a whole. They don’t play fast. They don’t play huge, complicated harmonies, riffs, note changes, etc. Nothing at all like that. They sound almost weirdly basic.

But at the same time, when you try to play along with them, you realize that it is not basic at all.

It is very complicated, because with every note, every hit, every place where you think you have to play, you have to count in your head to know exactly when to hit the notes.

It’s very mathematical. It’s always counting.

But at the same time, it sounds so natural.

And this is where the greatness of Tool and Danny comes from.

And this is actually the thing that is very complicated. It’s not necessarily difficult to play fast. Of course, playing fast is usually difficult, but it is even harder to play slowly and precisely, putting every single hit exactly where it needs to be, especually if it’s not your usual 4/4 or 3/4.

You have to play the things in places that you wouldn’t expect to play on your basic nstinct. and leave out the things where you would naturally want to hit.

There is another drummer, El Estepario Siberiano, who is absolutely, I think, one of the best drummers I have ever seen. He can play incredibly fast and complicated things. He usually overplays things (he is actually very good) and he does a lot of very technically difficult things.

But then he played Tool and said, “This is what is truly hard.”

And that makes perfect sense to me, because I have played music myself.

Sometimes the hardest thing is not to play more, but to play less — and to put those few things exactly where they need to be.

And I think that is exactly what makes Danny Carey and Tool so great. They can make something extremely difficult sound almost effortless.

So, all the best to you, my dear music lover friend. You don’t know me, but I know something about you, and I am very grateful for that

Greetings from small norther country of Estonia

For some reason I love watching every reaction to this

The opening is done on a digital pad that changes the sound based on where you hit the pad.

busting out the app mid reaction, that is awesome! spiral out my friend.

I have been watching channel for years, have donated a few times, and I’m so happy that you have reacted to this song.
I hope all the former people on this channel are alive and well. Blessings onto you and your family.
Hello from Louisiana

Thank you for this!

Adnan, it made me happy to see how much joy watching and listening to this performance gave you.  You have an artist's soul...I hope you'll find a way to explore your love for drums.

Some of my favorite videos on YouTube come from this channel

Adnan, because of this video I have to start supporting financially. You have all done such a great job with this channel, I love it. America loves it, the world loves it. I wish you the best, and love and peace to you and family. . What he's doing with his fingers as you say is a rim shot. He's using his drum stick to hit the rim and make a different noise. Every drum especially the tom drums can be tuned in different ways to have higher pitched noises etc. I'm no professional drummer so what I am saying is just what I know, but I have played for 28 years and in bands live on tour. Music although some may be simple, can be so incredibly complex.And what really makes me laugh in this world, is that less complex music is the most popular lol. The story of your father learning music at an older age is so awesome hearing as a musician myself. My father recently did the same he took up guitar at 65 since he is done working now. He's learning some Blue Oyster Cult now lol, Dana's drum set is like custom made by drum companies and stuff. All you need Adnan is a basic trap drum set. Once you sit down, and train all 4 limbs to start working together you will understand it. In America there is a saying White men have no rhythm lol. It's not true, because I am white and have it. YOU can play drums if you practice, I believe in you.

Danny Carey: one of my favorite drummers ever. TOOL: one of my alltime favorite bands ever!

Insane performance

Love love love Tool cause they make music about our shared human experience, that's why their work transcends even race and religions ❤

Schism 🎉

I hope to see the Trybals react to: "15 Year Old Emma Kok Sings Voilà – André Rieu, Maastricht 2023" since they loved AURORA so much I think Emma Kok will capture their hearts with her angelic voice.

Rock on brotha!

Hello, thanks for your reaction to Danny Carey! That drum app was pretty cool, and you have the idea down for sure. I've been a drummer for 26 years, and I think it's great that you want to learn to play. It's never too late to learn how to play a new instrument, and I enjoyed your story about your father learning the piano.

You can get a nice, modest used 5-piece drum set for a very reasonable price. Cymbals are something that you have to purchase separately and individually. They do offer "cymbal packs" with a set of basic cymbals needed for a drum kit, but I really recommend that you purchase them separately. To start, you'll want to have one pair of hi-hat cymbals (they're sold in pairs), one ride cymbal, and one crash cymbal. You'll also need to buy cymbal stands for them, as they don't come along with the drum kit.

The final two pieces of the drum kit puzzle are the bass drum pedal and the seat, which we call a "drum throne". So, it can be a bit of an investment when you consider everything needed, but buying beginner equipment is much, much more affordable than the professional equipment.

I really hope that you feel inspired to drum after seeing this video, and I wish you the best of luck finding the right drum kit and equipment for you. Update us and let us know when you buy your drum kit! I'd love to hear about it!

Haha thank you for making this.

This was not music this was art

I love drums (especially the deep tones of something like the tabla), but i can't hold a beat for the life of me.
Meanwhile there's danny keeping about five rhythms going at once without a hitch. 😂  The man is a true master of his craft.

Adnan you are the best boss I've seen on any of these channels, I've been watching for a long time and have seen how you look after everyone around you,I don't watch other tribal channels as I feel they are using the people for money and don't help them, it's obvious you have great affection for your crew god bless you and them, 🙏🙏🇮🇪
