"Playing a Tool song on the drums is an impressive feat. But what about playing every Tool song... in a row, in a single continuous take? YouTube drummer Tyler Visser, as far as we know, is the only person to attempt this seemingly impossible endurance run - and he actually completed it, uploading the seven-and-a-half hour performance to YouTube. Every Tool song with percussive elements was included (except for the rarities "Sweat" and "Disgustipated" due to copyright reasons)."
"My attempt at drumming through TOOL's discography in one take. I want to thank my family and friends for the endless support! I also want to thank everyone else for taking the time to share this experience with me. I have definitely gained a greater level of appreciation for the compositional work of Danny Carey and TOOL. Although I do not do Danny complete justice, being able to move past mistakes is something I learned."
"As one commenter put, imagine playing "Pneuma" after having already played drums for six hours straight, and you'll gain some perspective on just how unbelievably difficult this challenge was. We didn't watch the whole thing, but scrubbing through the massive video, Visser sounds locked in and steady, having clearly trained his muscles for the sheer endurance of the session. And for anyone questioning authenticity, Visser uploaded a different camera angle as a separate video, showing his footwork behind the kit."
Tyler Visser performed every Tool song with percussive elements in one continuous, seven-and-a-half-hour take, excluding the rarities "Sweat" and "Disgustipated" for copyright reasons. Visser uploaded the full performance and a secondary camera angle showing his footwork to demonstrate authenticity. The drummer acknowledged making mistakes during the session, thanked family, friends, and viewers for support, and reported gaining greater appreciation for Danny Carey and Tool's compositional work. The effort required clear endurance training and focus. Tool is reportedly preparing to "dive deep soon" on a follow-up to 2019's Fear Inoculum.
