The most famous Tool song, it is quite tricky on the drums. Odd patterns throughout, although no obvious poly-rhythms as in other Tool songs. In my opinion, some of the toughest parts are the softer sections. I've never been able to pinpoint the tom patterns Danny plays over the kick drums, so this represents my version.
It is critical that every drummer develop their own unique style and interpretation. Therefore, I do not memorize any song exactly. I have spent 30 years playing drums and have developed my own style, which I prefer. I keep my playing within the framework of the song and will play a part exact if that part is either iconic (like Phil Collins In The Air Tonight) or critical to the success of the song.
Thank you for watching and lots of success drumming!!
