Admire the musicianship. Extra points for choosing that part in that song. It’s one of the best examples of a peak in a nontraditionally structured rock song I can think of, without going into prog land. I love Tool, and I’ve considered this a masterful Tool moment for a long time.
I’d gladly play with a drummer that level. She would have to put on some damn clothes and quit the cute shit though. I ain’t lugging gear to play with a . . . fashion show is the nicest way to put it. Shame, because she’s probably a better musician than me, and could put me in my place on rhythm/timing issues.
Conflicted, on one hand I’d like to admire the musician. I’m old and ain’t that good, but I wouldn’t even entertain playing with a female putting that kind of appeal on front street. I imagine that if she wants to play with musicians that will match/push that level, she’ll run into similar sentiments.
But, I’m totally wrong focusing on the art and musicianship. She’ll make more money dressing like I don’t want my daughter to dress, and will have lines of young chuds that will have no issues playing chugs to feature the public image she (probably correctly) deams most marketable.
