This is one of the more underrated Tool songs. It is tricky on drums, as all Tool songs are, but does not have any of the really hard sections that are so prevalent with Tool. I like the lack of repetition in the song and how Danny underplays to really make the song work.
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!!
