Tool - Lateralus *Drum Battle* 07-16-2007

[TribalLeprechaun]

Danny should have just hit the effin gong.

IT WOULD ALL BE OVER.

[RosettaStoned804]

Bassist: "6 Fucking minutes of one-and-a-two, one-and-a-two, one-and-a-two"

[Blade3327]

Am I the only one who thinks the toilet paper actually made him look more epic? Just billowing in the wind...

[1y9b9b]

HAha yeah what was with the tree?

just to sike him out?

[529ark]

i love how manyard comes out of no where with a tree

[TheToolisgod]

the other guy is the happiest dude in the world

[patientedward]

poor little kid

[Roadiepat]

I was at this show with my sister.. got any more?

[ghoawaynetcabo]

@Roadiepat If you were, can you please explain?? Can anybody explain?? Who is on the 2nd drumkit?? Was it Maynard causing the paper to be blown? The guy showing up with the guitar throwing all the paper on top of the drums doesnt look that much like Adam Jones. Makes me wonder if it was even Justin holding the bass line. Where was this show? Anybody? @ToolyBagels you know dude I wish you had used the Description section, it exists specifically for this purpose

[ToolyBagels]

@ghoawaynetcabo done

[ghoawaynetcabo]

@ToolyBagels I could be Useful or Funny. Difficult decisions. I know, I'll choose to be the opposite of both.

[jmgallo732]

@ghoawaynetcabo Second drummer is the drummer from the opening band Big Business.

[ghoawaynetcabo]

@jmgallo732 Thanks for the help man. At least one of my doubts is answered.

[rcacad]

@jmgallo732 no, it was melt bananna

[mrjohn2921]

Danny's sense of rythm and timing is just on another level...one of the best out there.

[MikeGipsonUSAF]

Is this Tweak Bird? Is this at the AT&T Center San Antonio?

[imwrightification]

What the fuck?

[legomania1998]

Nice tree, Maynard

[RileyBuds]

The drum battle is dope... but is that dope? The plant I mean, you know the one @5:30 or is that oregano?

[kontekzt]

holy fuck that was an actually listenable drum buttle, thats a rare thing

[doctorbuckner]

6 year old Vs Mike Tyson

[theoriginalMaxman2]

out of time signature. its in 9/8 not 4/4

[robbyjdub]

omg i remeber them doing this in the garden in boston and i was trippin balls!!!

[stoneraoulduke]

for realz?!!! Carey is magic...sprinkle some crack on 'em...



[EddyRX10]

Link Vs Gannondorf

[THEATREofPAIN270]

Great Post, crommunication, Jeez, Who pissed in your cheerios. Chill dude, Tool is awesome and so are another 100,000 other bands. Enjoy while you can because you never know what comes next. Again Thanx for the awesome post

[vishnu219]

coady is a great drummer. The Melvins and Big Business are also amazing

[Macabre68]

And here I thought Ralph Macchio vs. Steve Vai in Crossroads was a good dual. Shows what I know.

P.S. I have seen this live. Amazing then, amazing now.

[tydwidell]

20,000 fans, incredible music, amazing drum solos, and Adam's thinking, "I wonder how I can set the mood. Ah, a tree. Let's put it here. No, it doesn't look good in that light, what about here? Perfect ambiance."

[Saeraneth]

I love that guy just ripping away all the toilet paper xD

[AdoreYouInAshXI]

Whoever threw all that toilet paper shit on dudes drumset should have gotten punched.

[jwhiteyoung]

@AdoreYouInAshXI belive that would be maynard, so yea lets not

[AdoreYouInAshXI]

@jwhiteyoung That wasn't maynard at all dude, lol.. how the hell did you get maynard from that?

[BeefCaike]

I remember seeing this in Vancouver! It was mind blowing!!

[JOEapc7]

Melt banana yea!!!! :) This was my 1st concert ever!

[HanFamComp]

Adam, that was a dick move.

[Crueltool8]

@HanFamComp that paper was supposed to land on him regardless

[notian1989]

It's the drummer from Melt Banana. 

[Drumworshipper]

i absolutely love this!

[veltibooc]

3:57

DC: "Yeah...nice...nice...buuuuut.­... *crazy fast and effortless solo*

White T-shirt Guy: O_O

[3catecholamines]

The guy was the drummer for whoever opened for Tool if that helps... it was 2008 I believe

[samual42]

@3catecholamines i thought it was the drummer for breaking benjamin.

[3catecholamines]

@samual42

You may be right, but I'm pretty sure Breaking Benjamin didn't open for Tool, so just having their drummer hang out to play for 5 minutes on stage makes less sense to me then trusting that your opening band's drummer would have the chops to perform a 'stripped' down version of what Danny Carrey was doing. I mean, the drummer was good, but not great... so I'm struggling to see the logic in having so many drummers around...

Then again, if BB did open, then you may be right.

[paulhab12]

@samual42 In Australia earlier this year they did this and it was Puscifers drummer. Doesn't mean its definitely him here but it would by first guess

[bantamfedor]

@3catecholamines In '07 Melt banana opened for them in Florida...Man they are fucking awful!

[3catecholamines]

Saw this live in San Diego... was pretty cool. I think Maynard told the second drummer "now's your chance to nut up and play"

[fatwreckdsucks]

the bassist is probably like

HURRY THE FUCK UP

[TheDive99]

DDDD DDDD DDDD DDDD DDDD DDDD DDDD DDDD etcetera.

[pinchechad]

Well, I'm sure that the 2nd drummer must have a sense of humor. You'd better if you are hanging around with Maynard. I'm just wondering who he is? He's obviously a good sport about the whole thing. Props to him for sure.

[SheharyarNaveed]

Wow. I must admit, that the second guy was very very good. But the tp part was a bit douche baggish by Tool. =P

[ultraviolence6655321]

damn I feel sorry for justin, playing those same four notes again and again..

[haschkakor]

If it's Tomas Haake he's a worthy erm "duelist" to Danny Carey seeing as he himself has plenty of experience with poly rhythmic drumming in Meshuggah.

[KurdtKobain09]

Is that other guy who I think it is? ... COADY WILLIS??? ....I'm just wondering because from the blurry image I can see, he looks like he could be coady willis. And also, this video was in the 'related videos' section of a Melvins video.

[LedZeppelinDrummer1]

That Guy played amazingly well. Going up against Danny Carey and holding his own...you gotta give him props.

[StripMyWorldAway]

Isn't that the drummer from Rammstein?

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@StripMyWorldAway No. He's Tomas Haake from Meshuggah.

[mardan412]

Man i love who ever is keeping this up on u tube i was at this show and that was the koolest thing i have ever seen at a concert thanks for keep the memory alive

[lelandalexdrummer]

the greatness of the greatest.So great its scary......Danny Carey

[TheThekyd]

neil peart vs danny carey?

[samuslinkmario]

@TheThekyd Danny. All the way.

[kmoff11]

@TheThekyd The universe would implode if they ever played together

[jingjingsantos]

Maynard Jizzed Alot 

[aakkoin]

what is up with people getting boners and orgasms over music?! have you seen this? have you heard about this?

[punk9999643]

@aakkoin i hope you're joking...

[aakkoin]

@punk9999643 Well, yes... and if you jizz over a drum solo, you should get medical help. If it's a joke, STOP IT, it's not funny.

[punk9999643]

@aakkoin well yeah, i never thought they were funny either.

[Saeraneth]

@aakkoin because its that damn good

[parabol996]

Is this in Everett WA?

[lengman2112]

holy crap!! look at cody's tom angle!!!

[tinunit]

danny looks like a devil while cody; his minion.

[petecarvalho]

lucky bastard

[pvherr]

I lived this concert @ the xcel energy center !

[lunarequium]

Awesome build up and that kid coady means Big Business....doesn't matter the size of the tool....puns intended....this is not a competition.

[crommunication]

you know what,some of you so called fucking tool fans need to learn a bit of history behind some of the musicians they choose to associate with,because that 'kid' playing next to daney is fucking coady willis from big fucking business and second drummer next to dale crover in the fucking melvins...cunts...some of you cunts need to fuck off away from listening to tool and get out your fucking bullshit linkin park albums,cunts...coz you suck.

[therevengeofficial]

@crommunication chill bro

[iWentToNam]

@crommunication yes and you raging over youtube won't get your lecture through so you fucking little shit cunt suck me off

[trink968]

@crommunication wow dude calm the fuck down.its only music you freak

[mannersification]

@crommunication LOL dude ,you sound disturbed...for the disgraceful comments you have posted ,you only sound like an arrogant wannabe teenager...anyway youtube isnt most of ours' place to argue ,so i stop here!

[MalumSin]

@crommunication

How the fuck did your rant end up getting thumbed up to the top of the list... It should've been rated spam and removed honestly. I don't agree with everything everybody says, but I do know for certain this is probably the most unintelligent thing I've read in the last week. Congrats, you are one of the so called TOOL fans you're talking about. And why don't you just go FUCK YOURSELF BUDDY!

[kelehawk1]

@crommunication bro, realy now? Its effing music. you seem like one of those people who just like to start bull shtiting over nothing. I say just relax man and appreciate music in general. These drummrs in this drum off are really talented. Same wiht all these otherbands...including linkin park. and really? where did linkin park come from? Thaat didnt make sense at all. LOL ay though, you may have a small reason to post that comment, but was it really necessary, ask your self that..

[cloud1209]

@crommunication well excuse me all to fucking hell, captain information. if i call the tip line are you the one who answers

[BBown1]

@crommunication im the man and your the man as well so you can..... :)

[FireWalkWithMe67]

@crommunication Say "cunts" one more time.

[calden]

GODS creating a band! Snatched Randy Rhodes then Cliff Burton then Chuck schuldiner i fucking hope danny doesnt drop dead!

[tomtom819]

@calden Danny can't die, he is a god

[brodemonz]

I can almost do that.

[suspensiondude]

I do believe that's GOD sitting behind that big ass kit!

[MrBadApple999]

danny would pwn the other guy in one shot in he bangned the gong, remember, it cures cancer

[demented669]

watch?v=RTckFl0jPN8&feature=ch­­annel_video_title

claim the right of the security of your person !

free humanity here we come love you all !!

it's all common law U.C.C code all commerce law look it up, free information free your mind ! free the WORLD !!!

[Ticalionstalion82]

who would dislike this

[dheublein]

When Danny attacks his kit it erupts in a thunderous quaking explosion of precision and power, devastating my ears

[watson3499]

looks like the ft wayne show with melt banana 

[1123foreman]

@watson3499 I think it is. i waz there for it... was wasted though so maby not...

[watson3499]

@1123foreman yeah i was there too. i was up front till shortly after they played Rosetta Stone and the lasers started. the show was saturday june 23rd of 07

[McBrayson]

This woulden't be Portland ME by any chance, would it?

[jbosu21]

I was there! I was sober! I loved every second-Joe

[cpete2475]

awesome but whose the other guy?

[Ivaa7777]

The Best Drummers !!!

[AmericanZero13]

LOL what bastards, they were on Danny's side...they shot TP all over Coady during his part!

[rcacad]

Reading PA

[Matthewkilb]

Why throw all that stuff over the drum kit while he's trying to play? What a cunt.

[splinadero]

@Matthewkilb Its not a cunt, its maynard and justin, lol

[Matthewkilb]

@splinadero ...yes, behaving like cunts, lol

[davidtuckisgay]

If Karen Carpenter and Buddy Rich had children, this would be the nursery.....

[jbosu21]

Is this at the albany new york show?

[Saatanan]

Came in expecting a massacre, ended up finding a rad drummer I didn't know about.

[mothershipish1]

sickest drum vid ever

[Grahamin3D]

@TotalyC09 I understand. Good drummers are hard to come by anymore. I like this video quite a bit, I love slow build ups, especially its so gradual that you almost cant tell its changing!

[Grahamin3D]

@TotalyC09 um, what strange alter dimensional world did you come from......? unless that was a joke, its a joke right? Do you even know who the Pumpkins are anyway buddy?

[Grahamin3D]

Jimmy chamberlin = Best drummer of all time. Yet this is really good also.

[KarnageReport]

Tool + Melvins = Win.

[jmdenogean]

really good jam along. Both drummers are obviously experienced with switching off to another drummer instead of hogging the spot light the entire time.

[musstakrakish]

I want to see a drum battle between Danny Carey and Neil Pert!!!! They would have to do it outside of cores cause no one building could ever hold that much awesomeness!!!!!

[kewassg]

I only see how danny's arms are moving like on cartoons, It looks like If he had 8 arms holy shit I'm guitar player

[TheGreaterGood80]

Guys this "kid" is actually a veteran drummer from several bands, most notably the Melvins, who are friends of and major influences on Tool

[TheLastonetoLive]

@TheGreaterGood80 yea listen too this guy, srsly....

[formusicplaylist1]

@TheGreaterGood80 actually its adam jones' nephew. you can read about it in their biography.

[sparkles67]

@TheGreaterGood80 i saw this in vancouver and im not sure thats coady, but youre probably right as this guy is a lefty and we're few and far between. and yes, coady and dale are amazing!!! cheers.

[01X713370101666]

Little man with a his little set tried to take on a god, and was jizzed on for it.

[Fangelus]

@01X713370101666 ~it's not size that matters ;)

[TreverUndeadXpdX]

@Fangelus is that what your girlfriend told you?...i'm sorry i just had to do it.

[Fangelus]

@TreverUndeadXpdX hehehe ok, that's funny

[Madtownbiochem]

Man Justin has to be bored.

[VJelectro]

@Madtownbiochem Seriouisly, the poor guy is playing one note for so friggin long!

[noname91910]

They say singing to a flower/tree will make it grow. Maynard was just fucking around and thought, "Hey, how about drumming?". I guess it didn't work. :'(

[MsLink2]

whos that kid who think is rival for Danny? (joke).... but seriously who's that guy?

[co7wa77]

@MsLink2

It was the drummer for the opening act.

[Futbolkeeper727]

@MsLink2

hes coady willis, nasty drummer for the melvins and big business, i think he def held his own during that, though its not a competition

[IronStagg]

I saw a Similar thing when i went to DTE in MI, very epic show. This vid brings back some great memories!

[MUSEsyndrome78]

Now they are two of the most talented people i've seen in a long time!

[AustinLuck78]

I would kill to see Virgil Donati and Danny Carey drum together!

[BXCDavid]

Was at this show, such a fucking epic performance of Lateralus, not to mention they dropped Flood on us that night. Thanks!

[AnaLilia813]

Haha I guess Maynard was just goofing around like always.. didn't have any roses to throw near the drummer so he gave him a tree instead.

[riotmateria]

i feel really sorry for that other drummer. 1st he has to play to a crowd knowing that he's just automatically out-staged by DC. then he has to play with loads of crap all over his kit!

the guy deserves major respect!!

[drumskater337]

@riotmateria Agreed lol its totally bias :P

[mardan412]

@riotmateria hey if you would have seen that guys band Big business would say he need to be in a big named band he was badass for the set they did

[KurdtKobain09]

@mardan412 SO IT IS COADY WILLIS? :D

[leatherwings007]

@KurdtKobain09 It would make sense, since Tool are friends with the Melvins and Coady Willis is a left-handed drummer, just like the guy in this vid is...

[25jaspar25]

@riotmateria I'd hardly say the other drummer is out-staged. He really is quite good.

[riotmateria]

@25jaspar25 haha no no i wasnt saying he was no good! yes i agree the guy kicks ass! but yno... its Danny Carey! haha

[stephiejane1]

Who is the other drummer playing with him? That dude is sick!!!!

[seasofluck]

@stephiejane1 Coady Willis of The Melvins and Big Business. Both of those bands are incredible. You should check them out.

[alzmik]

... sorry just wiping the jizz off my keyboard.

[Zimzallabimbomba]

@alzmik  LMFAO...

[iWentToNam]

@alzmik LOL

[superchunk71]

lol at maynard around 5:55

[debopathak]

He makes it look so easy.

[tijbajmex]

THIS YEAR THEY DID THE SAME, AT THE SAME SONG.

[juddgreg333]

as not to compare the two drummers(because that didn't look as though that was the point of this anyway) and to take way the fact that the audio isn't the best, I think it's amazing how much clearer Danny's sound is. One thing that comes from superior technique-proper projection of your instrument

[melonheed3]

@juddgreg333 dont you think though that maybe they had his mic'd a little differently?

[juddgreg333]

@melonheed3 well yeah im sure its a little different but they're not going to intentionally mic one set different than the other the levels have to be the same

[danstan66]

omg thats amazing

[shamwoww]

whose de other drummer?

[ZoomyMcFlywire]

@shamwoww The other drummer is Cody (sp?) from the band Big Business, who opened for Tool on most of the US leg of the 2007 tour. Saw them in Portland, ME, in July 07', best show I've even been to. At one point, near the end, Danny even gave Cody the "I'm not worthy" arm wave, even though we all know he was just bein nice.

[shamwoww]

@ZoomyMcFlywire oh shit yea thats cool, Big Business opened for Tool when I saw them in '07, I remember thinking they had a sick drummer, but yea kinda forgot when Danny Carey hit the stage. fuckin genius god

[shamwoww]

@ZoomyMcFlywire oh shit yea thats cool, Big Business opened for Tool when I saw them in '07, I remember thinking they had a sick drummer, but yea kinda forgot when Danny Carey hit the stage. fuckin genius god

[RockXero77]

And Maynard gives him... A tree?

[jamesrandle46and2]

great colaberation from pretty much 2 of the best bands ever

[rbwade88]

this was in stl..i was there trippin balls!!! didint even seem real that i was watchin the greatest band ever!

[framerdude82]

wasnt that this year

[Roland3001]

The only bad thing about Danny Carey is that he plays Paiste

[abassett22]

@Roland3001 they sound really good, they just break easily, which doesnt matter when you get all the free cymbals you want...

[fatwreckdsucks]

the bassist was probably lyke "z0mg guys hurry th3 f0ck up!"

[mtbhg123]

Holy Shit

[squiresuzuki]

This is awesome. They changed the meter...yet the bass part seems identical. Lateralus at the end was in cut time (2/2), this is in 6/8

[Oraagarrat]

Mah face just melted

[DivadWCT]

is it just me or was that other drummer totally jizzed on by whoever fired that white crap

[aikikai17]

Daneys drum beats are as dark enough to haunt your dreams

[DrumBum561]

lucky bastard.

[ottoscrubber]

that was excellent!! on both sides
