Years ago on Tools undertow tour I had the pleasure of meeting Danny.
I was sitting on the steps of Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Ks waiting for my friend to arrive when an older couple sat next to me.
They started making small talk and told me they were there to see their son who was playing in one of the bands that night.
We talked for about 10 minutes before I realized their son was Danny Carey, when he came down the steps they introduced me as their new friend. Danny and I shook hands and he thanked me for hanging with his parents and was able to get me upgraded seating.
One of the coolest experiences of my young life.
Wow! Great story! Very cool!
Awesome!❤
Lucky you! 🙂
That would have been epic to later fund out it's his parents.
Memorial Hall was a great venue!!!!!!
The only thing wrong with this interview is that it is only an hour long. I could listen to Rick and Danny talk for a long time.
I really didn't realize how many things there were to talk about. Rick would ask a question, and I would say, "Oh yeah! That's another great question!" I was then sad when I heard Rick say, "Thank you!"
Just way too cool! 🤘😁
I completely agree! I think even 2 hours would have seemed too short.
Two hours would have been epic. I’ll take what I can get though 😂🤘
Right?? I could listen for however long!
Best interview of any drummer ever! Dannebrog Carey, not just a great drummer, but also an awesome human being.
How can somebody that good be so humble?
I think he's so good because he is humble
Learned from the best (Neil Peart :))
Makes us love him all the more!
maynard is like that too, bunch of humble geniuses
You can’t find anything to dislike about this guy. Total class act.
He's too tall. Please tell him to be less tall.
How about black magic?
@@hornethive I personally don’t think magic is real but if you do I understand how that would be problematic for you.
its blows my mind that Danny is 62 years old! A Titan of drumming. Now we need Adam Jones and Justin Chancellor😍
We got to meet Danny, Adam and Justin at soundcheck a few weeks ago. The coolest dudes ever. I remember I couldn’t believe that Danny is 62. He’s a giant by the way 😂 incredibly fit and a beast behind that kit. Wow 🤩
He is one of one. Pretty cool he plays every genre of music. You can hear the jazz fusion influence.
Justin maybe.. Adam.. that’s not happening 😂
Then Maynard again, and repeat the cycle lol
Good luck gettin Adam lol
I think I can speak for every TOOl fan when I say, this is by far the best Danny Carey interview I've seen. THANK YOU MR. RICK!
I think you represent fans of drumming in general! 😊
By far best DC interview I’ve seen. What a joy this guy is.
Dude, your account name is Jambi!? You are a true fan!
He speaks for me 👆
Yes
Danny is the absolute best. We have a common friend, and i was able to sit in their studio for practice one day. It was an unreal experience. I couldn't believe i was sitting next to Danny, Adam and Justin talking about off road vehicles and music. Danny and i were just sitting on a couch just showing each other pictures of cars on our phones like we had been friends forever. I can't say enough how great of a person he is.
Danny almost seems nervous the whole time. What a guy!
Imagine you are starting a band and you move in next to this drumming genius and he ends up your drummer by default.
Noted lol
Not a coincidence.
Divine intervention.
Imagine Maynard calls you to jam and you don’t show up lol
The universe just deciding TOOL would exist. Crazy.
Danny Carey almost seems like the perfect interview guest. He answers the questions with detail, but is not long winded. He has zero ego present, he shows appreciation for others. His stories are relevant to the topics at hand. His passion comes through in his speaking. Just flat out great, especially if you were looking for some insight and knowledge. Great interview
He's usually kinda awkward in interviews, but he's totally at ease here. Rick brings out the best in his interviewees, which is a talent in itself.
musical genius❤
Imagine how smooth the jamming and writing process goes if this is how he is when he is comfortable
Well said and well observed. Todays it seems rare that someone hears a question and answers what was asked.
He's a great roll model for any young, aspiring drummer out there.
I'm 30 and have been a fan of Tool for half of my life. I'm seeing them for the first time on June 8th. This is gonna be epic.
I went a few months ago it was awesome have fun!
There were amazing last November in Allentown, PA. Unreal live.
They're still in top form! It'll blow you away.
Dude I'm seeing them on June 5th! It is my second time seeing them and the first one was the best show I had seen in my life. Hope you have a blast!
Ride the spiral, my dude
Danny Carey genuinely sounds like one of the nicest human beings on earth. What a talent and what an incredible bond his bandmates in Tool have. He has every right to be proud of what they do. Great band. One of the greatest all-time of any genre.
Hearing him compliment Maynard like that and him saying the hairs on his arms were standing was an awesome thing to hear.
This bit really moved me 🥹
Agreed. There is so much admiration in the air between the musicians in the group you can cut it with a knife. I love how they respect each artists forte and time and artistic process. It must be a very free space to create. That’s what it’s really all about. Gratitude.
Agreed! Yeah that was awesome. You always wonder how the musicians feel about the final product.
I think having the space you started in keeps you all more humble. You are reminded of who you were when you all met. Much different than practicing in a 10mil studio after you've released several albums and toured the world. Keeping your roots and acknowledging helps build the respect.
The way the lyrics just fit makes it seem like they all developed the song together shaping the instrumentals around what he’s singing. It’s so strange to me it’s really the opposite.
15 minutes into this interview and it seems like Danny’s attitude is still that he is auditioning to be a drummer. He is so humble and appreciative of his insane ability. The guy is just genuine and talented beyond belief.
He'll go to the grave not even acknowledging how amazing he is. No hubris with this dude, just straight humility and appreciation for the craft.
Kansas / Midwest in him
Really has a similar vibe as Jimmy Chamberlin. Monumental guys who still feel they're always learning and seem to really appreciate the position that they're in.
And the fact that him and Jimmy both have a jazz/rudiment background is absolutely no surprise.
All lies😂😂😂😂😂
As an aussie, hearing Danny mention The Divinyls was so awesome. Chrissy Amphlet was a goddess of aussie music, and completely underrated in the history of rock
He summons the spirits of both Jon Bonham and Neil Peart by channeling their energy through his drumming
“Stuff that breathes.” That’s the best description of “real” music I’ve ever heard.
There is a line in the movie Eddie and the Cruisers 2 where Eddie says music has to “breath”. I wonder if that’s where that description originated from.
For music that breathes listen to Daniel Barenboim play Beethoven's Sonatas.
I read something similar from Meshugga. They said a couple of their albums were "too perfect" timing wise, and had gone back to a more natural sounding imperfection.
Agreed. I tuney drums to get a good full bodied tone. No dampening. Sounds/ music and tone sound breath. I am really happy hearing this. Peart did not dampen either.
@@thomasmcguigan5626 meshuggah is awesome
This is the single video I’ve been waiting for since RUclips started.
this is such a cool comment 😄
Nodding as now I don't have to write the same comment. 🙏
This gets our nomination for comment of the century. Awesome. Just plain awesome.
the way Danny talks about Maynard just shows how much he loves and respects him
I have a Danny Carey story... Tool is a little hardcore from what I normally listen to, but I recognize pure talent when I hear it. The whole band is talented and I'm mostly a keyboard guy but after I bought a couple of CD's and was listening closely, I said to myself, "this has to be one of the greatest drummers in history" and decided to take a look on the early interwebs. Consistently Danny ranked at the top of any list I could find and still does today. Like I said, I'm mostly a synth guy, and Tool is some of the "hardest" music I ever listen to, but freakin Danny rocks HARD. Absolutely an amazing drummer.
i met Danny backstage in Athens, Greece in 2006. had some beers in the hotel lobby afterwards and he even gave me a Paiste hoodie. he is really down to earth and a very cool guy.
I was at this show too
He is just a regular Kansas guy. Super down to earth and is funny as hell! I've been on that same couch just drinking beers and talking about everything under the sun!
@@robertfields2906cool! I didn’t know he was from Kansas. I travel all over the state
I've met him a few times as well. One of the coolest people I've ever been with
@@WalkManDoo Yep, pure Kansas!
Can we all agree on this guy being like the nicest and most humble genius ever?
Danny has no ego, is down to earth, and genuinely seems happy talking about drums and his music. He's admirable in literally every quality. Not to mention he's 62 and playing drums at the top of his game. He's just an amazing human.
Let me think about it.....ok, yes, definitely ;-)
Yes sir
My son (almost 16) apparently discovered his love for polyrhythms this school year. We were at one of his competitions and he busts out a 9 piece kit. My mouth hung open the entire time. I had no idea - and other competitors parents were whispering about him ❤ (shout out to Solo & Ensemble kids & their parents). He killed it!!!
So now I've been researching drummers & I had him listen to The Pot. His eyes widened & then he closed them. I just said "Danny Carey, honey."
If he decides to not pursue drumming, that's fine - I would be just, if not more, proud if he is as cool as Danny.
He genuinely is just a normal human being. Rick could have equally spent half this interview here just talking sports with Danny.
I love listening to masters talk about their craft.
I'm 45 and played since I was 12, and Danny has forgotten more about drums than I'll ever know. This dude is incredible.
My 14 year old plays drums and takes lessons. He can cover some new pop/ rock songs pretty well and he has great timing. The other day "Eulogy" came on Sirius radio. He had never heard TOOL and his first response is "this is such a strange song" and "how long is this song Dad?".... Welcome to prog rock and TOOL son!
That’s beautiful haha :) hopefully he takes a liking to it!! 🤘
That song is just ace.
Wait until he hears lateralus. That’s a long tool song. But it’s totally worth it
"Oh yeah? Well my kid has perfect pitch!" - Rick B.
You’re raising that boy right. Good job dad 🤘🤘
Danny has picked up the torch laid down by Neil Peart as the Drummer's Drummer and the current GOAT. His Pneuma video blew everyone away.
Right, and therefore Neil Peart is our drummer's favorite drummer's favorite drummer.
Danny is way too good for a band like Tool if you ask me.
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 interesting... What band do u see him with? I think he fits perfectly in Tool
@@BrutalNewbylisten to his jam band Volto!
Was at that show. Insane
I am not an mucsician. I am a listerner. I am old. Been listening since -71. First time I heard Tool........My brain got hot, I really had to expand like in school when it was difficult. I was over 40. Now I have passed 60. Always waiting for the next album. Big hug to Rick. Love you Danny, I will never get dement by lazyness:). Love from Sweden.
First time I heard tool it was like all my life there was a tiny hole in my brain that got filled, like a key opening a lock.
Why is it that every interview Rick does with an artist I admire is the best interview with said artist that I've ever seen? He seems to have a strong rapport with everyone and asks the best questions. I'd say he needs to get his own TV show, but TV is so 20th century, isn't it?
This is one of the most anticipated interviews I’ve seen on this channel. Such an amazingly talented and humble human being!
Absolutely
Yeah and I'm stuck at work in a large noisy print room with a PC that has no audio!! May have to go home sick for this one.
Yeah, and Danny's ok, too! ;-) Seriously, it's amazing to me that as good and successful as Danny is, he's remained so humble. But of course, all the great ones are.
you probably would enjoy the live stream with Skinny Puppy's cEvin Key. I think he's done two of them. cEvin has interviewed a lot of music industry people as well, usually people he knows personally either from touring or recording, so it feels less like an interview and more of a conversation between friends, though it's still a little bit interviewie because of course it's on camera for fans, so they can't just talk without providing context.
His studio should be a historic museum some day. Tool Land.
"Tool Shed" maybe? Nahh
Can I buy my lifetime pass now?
@@PeterPaoliello that's the fan club name, or it was in the 90's.
@@ryanzeigler9763 hah, cool to see people still remember that site
Aenimasium
I went to Tool’s Detroit music clinic on May 16, 2019. Tickets were $500 but it cost me about $3k to get to it. Had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Adam, Danny and Justin and it’s an experience I’ll Carey with me my whole life. Danny is something of a shaman. He’s a magical creature.
I feel like I weirded Adam out a bit because I asked him if he knew in 1992 that he would be the gen X Led Zeppelin and I think he got a little offended. He kinda stumbled and fumbled for an answer for me and then Danny kinda picked it up for him and said “We didn’t set out to be our generations anything. We just liked playing together and I think that’s probably true for led zeppelin as well. Our audience determines if we’re iconic or successful and you guys showed up for us.”
Legends. These guys are indescribable in their humility and just their passion and love for the music they make.
Beato has that same passion and love for music. I can’t express how much I appreciate this conversation.
Goosh!!!!
Man that sounds like it would be a really fun experience!
Now understand. The Danny's shirt was a clue about the project he's working currently. What a genius. Amazing interview.
Danny C: "NEVER TRACKED A TOOL SONG TO A CLICK... " I'm floored, what a groove machine Danny is. I expected the band to play to a click track through and through. Great job as always Rick, you are the best musician interviewer of these times.
That's absolutely mindblowing.
Not even live. They have to be pretty spot on because their lights/lasers/visuals have to be manually triggered, if I remember correctly. Their effects aren’t triggered by the click. I forget where I read the article but it was right after I seen them in 2020 right before Covid. It was a small interview with their A/V tech, or their V tech. Awesome band front to back and the powerhouse DC is just phenomenal. My favorite Beato interview so far.
MIND BLOWING.
I needed to sit down after that statement..
Wtf. That is inane. I always assumed he had a click on the live shows.
Hearing Danny gush over Maynard's contributions is beautiful to see. He absolutely respects Maynard's artistry to highest degree and you can yell he just loves him as friend.
I think play respect each other and they respect this thing that they create together but hey don't all particularly like each other very much. The only time that you will find them in the same place at the same time is it going to happen to be playing shows on tour. There's an obvious layer of passive aggression from both sides when they talk about Tools recording processs.
@@brandonhinrichs4393 Either that, or they are just being humorous about the process, in a cynical way.
@yukinagato1573 no it's common knowledge that they don't really get along. The only reason APC exists is because Tool doesnt collaberate and they take their time perfecting pieces. Maynard has touched on this subject in almost every interview hes done where hes not acting like a pretentious and superior person to everybody else. Which is nice because he idles at pretentious and superior
@@brandonhinrichs4393 Given Maynard's last interview with Rick, yea it seems he really respect other people's work, in the way that he doesn't interfere in what others are supposed to do. He seems to have a good understanding on what he can do and what he can't.
This is what made me find it funny, their cynical passive aggressiveness about mixing lol. Four deaf dudes trying to make their part as loud as they can be haha.
@brandonhinrichs4393 He idles at pretentious and superior. Hahahaha!!!!! That's absolutely perfect. Yes. 100% agree and a hilarious way to phrase it. I love it.
Ya, I can do a Danny interview all day long, days on end, but I can't stand one minute of Maynard talking. He's totally full of himself, and not exactly deservedly or justifiably.
RELEASE THE BUCKLEY TAPES DANNY! Lol but seriously man, the world needs to hear these.
i agree im a huge Buckley fan and it would be so sweet hearing Jeff singing and playing with Danny accompanying him doing covers and originals.
Not only is he just the best drummer there is, but is he’s also a great and nice person. A guy you would drink a beer with in a bar.
And end up fighting after that beer
@@nicholasprice88 😂
I´m not saying that he´s bad but I can come up with many other drummers that are also in his league.
Cat is wearing a King Crimson ‘Beat’ T-shirt - full points awarded
You know he will be drumming with Adrian Belew, Steve Vai and Tony Levin in new band called Beat? They will play three KC albums from "Beat era"
@@Puj0 Yeah. That's fantastic news ❤
@@Puj0 Rather see BB with them.
If you listen to King Crimsons album 'Discipline' you will hear small notes where you can tell they were an influence on Tool
@@danielsutton6873I knew Crimson was an influence on Tool, but Discipline live is where I first heard the link between the two bands. Amazing stuff.
As a drummer; this is one of the greatest interviews I've ever watched.
As a tool fan; this is one of the greatest interviews ive ever watched.
As a 90s teen, as an alternative listener, as a music fan; this is one of the greatest interviews I've ever watched.
23:33 one of my favorite things is listening to a conversation where people talk about something theyre passionate about
Danny is so much more than “just a drummer.” One of the most humble and down to earth “stars” out there.
Yes. I just get a good feeling about him 🥁👍
Danny is authentic. A Kansas boy through and through. I’m glad he is getting the recognition he rightly deserves as one of the GOATs.
This is the coolest interview I have ever seen. I heard Eulogy on the radio when I was about 7 years old and the rest is history. TOOL has changed my life in so many ways.
Beato is absolutely the best interviewer in the game right now. Awesome seeing someone who genuinely loves the music asking questions. Hoping and praying for Jones and Chancellor interviews in the future!
He's a great interviewer because like he has said himself, these interviews are really more like just conversations. It's all very natural and genuine because Rick is a music nerd and musicians are usually music nerds too so they just get to be nerdy together for like an hour. That and also the fact that Rick knows like everything about everything when it comes to music so he'll get every reference and he'll know how to ask interesting questions about the technical aspects of making music etc etc.
playing for a band making such complex, intense, mystical music for decades, and being an artist with such massive amounts of skill and focus, Danny is such a friendly, selfless, down-to-earth, chilled-out dude. it's awesome to see a career musician NOT get beaten down and wrung out by the 'man' or the business. legend.
Very well put!
I second that, I've known him for years. He's such a good guy!
Yeah you can tell he’s not really into the whole I’m better than you because I’m famous or whatever. He seems very very grounded and just genuinely a good human being.
Thats real self esteem and humility for all of us to learn
Best comment ever. 👍
Playing with Jeff Buckley and Carole King, owning Rick James's mixing console and playing for Tool. That in itself is a snapshot into the musical diversity that is Danny Carey. What a superb interview and window into this outstanding musician. As always Rick, you get the best from the best! I could have easily watched a few more hours of you talking to Danny. Thank you.
Jeff and Rick talk about playing with Danny to God..
I would love to hear the recordings of Jeff and Danny.
And Skinny Puppy another fave of mine. I had no idea he’s friends with Cevin Key.
I love he is wearing a King Crimson Beat T-Shirt... I am surprised they didn't mention his upcoming tour with the 80's King Crimson tribute band (Adrian Belew, Tony Leven, along with Steve Vai, and Danny Carey) ... I haven't been so excited to see a concert in 30 or 40 years - since I saw the original band back in the 80's - about 12 times!!!... It is going to be unbelievable!!!
He doesn´t mention Beat because there is another full interview of Rick Beato with the four guys, probably done about the same time period. Check it out, you´ll love it
He is a living legend, the epithome of artist, drummer and person.
I really like the fact that he always bring his influences to the table, he knows that all genious stuff that hewrote did not came from nowhere. A fukn humble and awersome dude that is keeping the most ambitious project of today in music. Drumming is so interesting, complex and groovy when Danny is playing his parts.
Reference.
Rick, thank you. I never heard of Danny or Tool. Learning while listening, 69, and never too old to learn. Gerald.
enjoy your journey! very jealous you get to listen to Tool for the first time
@@Meefo__ are you part of Tool?
@@geraldwilson3559 nope, sorry!
Welcome to the ride!!
The Pot is my all time favorite by them, it could just be nostalgia for me.. but I love what the singer does with his voice in that song it sounds beautiful and the music at the beginning after the first verse sounds like a super nova exploding and then freezing in place while you get to wander around in it to see the wonder, it’s hard to describe I suppose that may sound stupid but I love it. Check it out!!
No one approached drum composition like this guy. It’s not just how absolutely talented he is at PLAYING but his parts are always insane.
Finally someone gets it! He's not the most technical drummer (shoot me), but he is a genious in composing groovy parts in odd times snd songs. No one composes drums like Danny. Many can play his parts, but no one really comes up with parts like he does.
@@taunokekkonen5733wdym he’s extremely technical though. Like one of the best technical drummers alive.
Neal Peart did…
@@musicismath5820 no.
He studied the best. Mr BB as referenced by his shirt.
This guy is so mentally healthy and decent considering being a rockstar. He’s such a genuinely nice guy
It helps that Tool aren't 'Tool' most of the time. They aren't recording and touring endlessly, always together. They take breaks and all have very much their own, individual lives separate from each other and the band. It's kind of like they've never been this super close knit band, and more of a long-term mutual group of collaborators where Tool provides a sort of desired musical outlet for each of them. I dont think they see Tool as being some 'job' they have and need to keep together and could easily call it quits and all do something else if they weren't feeling it anymore. Maynard has other major hobbies, a business, and other music projects. Adam is a professional graphics person and artist who has worked in Hollywood. Danny has other passions in life and other musical projects. Not sure about Justin, but I'd guess he's learned to not put his whole life into Tool as well by necessity.
I'm glad to see Danny Carey getting the recognition he deserves. He is the "Neil Peart" of modern times and he just seems like a cool and grounded guy that just LOVES what he does.
I love the technical conversations Rick has with these artists, as a seasoned multi-instrumentalist. Takes these interviews to the next level.
Yes! I’m not a musician so I couldn’t possibly understand music from that perspective, but it’s always fascinating to me to hear super talented musicians like Danny Carey talk about their instruments, set up, techniques etc. What a fascinating guy Danny is and Tool is just spectacular 👏👏👏👏
They also seem to enjoy it
Yea it gets too boring otherwise. For listeners too i think.
It´s amazing how this huge musician talks about Maynard with such respect. After all this time he respects his partners, being himself a titan.
The greats find the band , they find the people on their wavelength, then they make magic happen. It doesn’t just happen in music, such is the way of life. Great attracts great
You can tell Danny has so much love for Maynard both as a friend/person and as a musician.
I remember an interview from 2002 where Danny said that when the Tool members get together, the result is so much more than the sum of the parts. For me this sums up their entire career.
This was fantastic. It was cool to see Rick's interview with him for the King Crimson tribute tour, but this is what every Tool fan hopes for. Such a great guy to listen to. So humble about his amazing talent & an absolute Genius behind the kit. For me, Danny is the best drummer alive.
Thx for this, Rick. You've checked off almost every box I could hope for with these 90's based, long-form interviews. Plz keep 'em coming.
🤘😎
TOOL remains a pivotal band for me and my life ....
Danny's interview with Rick becomes a lesson into understanding what a musician needs to be -- open to various music and then driven to master one's craft.
I appreciate and I admire Danny the musician and Danny the individual. TOOL for me represents one the highest expression of what Music becomes when placed into the hands of great and dedicated Musicians.
Thank you very much, Rick and thank you very much, Danny.
💥💥💥💫💫💫💫💫❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Dude is MASSIVE in a literal and metaphorical sense. He’s built like a tank. Makes sense why tools rhythm is so powerful.
Yeah, it hardly looks like Rick and Danny are the same species... Danny is a giant and Rick is just a regular puny human next to him.
@@xtraspecialj explains why he usually dons basketball jerseys when he performs.
@@xtraspecialjHe’s 6’5”. Neil Peart was 6’4”. Big guys with big talent!
He played college ball as a PF lol
Huge but humble it seems.
A legend showing his tools of the trade, Awesome !
Rick you have done Maynard and Danny interviews, would love to see Justin and Adam.
Thank you for your amazing interviews Rick! These are worth gold.
The way Danny talks about MJK is so wholesome
Funny enough, sounds like MJK may have been talking about Danny with the “I can’t hear me!” -“You’re DEAF.” he mentioned in his interview.
Apparently because May was practically kid when they met.
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power what? they are 3 years apart xD
I am so glad Rick started this channel. God-tier interviewer with god-tier subjects. Perfect every time. I’m always amazed how effortlessly he figures out how each subject wants to be treated. Just perfect.
Thank you both so much for this!
This is just Amazing!!!
Thank you for bringing THE LEGEND on your interview!!
The way he speaks about Maynard makes the hair on my arms standup. Love for your brother, nothing like it. The brilliance of these 4 guys has dominated my life since I was a kid. I’m as obsessed now as I was when I was 16.
Absolutely. I heard an interview a few years ago where Adam Jones was talking about his band mates. He spoke about each of them with so much love and respect. Paraphrasing here, “I’m so happy Danny Carey’s in our band, I could cry.” That’s such a lovely thing to say 🥹🤘
@@rubaidaallen2764 Do you have a link or name of that interview? Sounds interesting to hear
Adam interviewed by Chris Jericho from Fozzy has Adam say he’s so happy he has “the best drummer in the world” in his band
@@nickj6608 yes sir. I’ve seen that
@@hectormendoza7261 It’s from a Tool clinic Adam did in 2014. I don’t have the link but type in Tool archive in the search, which has some pretty cool Tool stuff from over the years 😊
Did anyone else hear this at 35:44: “We just got done re-mastering ÆNIMA.”
That’s the single most important part of this interview. They’re going to reissue ÆNIMA on vinyl for the first time since its release in 1996.
For the vinyl community, this is MASSIVE news.
Probably not until it hits 30 years, when they get ownership back- it would not benefit them to release it so close to that point and lose possibly millions that would go to the record company.
It's crazy that Rick didn't ask the question 'WHY are you remastering?'
I never knew about the 30 year default. So that’s what the delay has been? Waiting for 2026?
I guess it’s not Rick’s focus, but yeah. Missed opportunity to learn some critical info for fans.
Anyone with an original copy of ÆNIMA on vinyl should consider selling soon. That's gonna be a MASSIVE drop in value if/when a reissue drops.
Wonderful interview! Thank You!!!
This guy’s sounds single handedly shaped my late teens and early adulthood.
This is not an "interview" It is two gentlemen having a very interesting and intelligent "conversation" Thank you for doing this!
It's incredible to me that Rick knows enough drums to talk tech to a drum guru but still give a decent interview that's not boring to us non-drummers
He's a producer. If he didn't know enough about drums to be able to talk about them, he'd be a bad producer.
Such a great interview, thank you for getting this legend on here. Big fan of this channel and Beato!
Superb interview. Thank-you!
I remember listening to Tool in the mid 90s and they were so mysterious. It was tough to even find a clear picture of them. Now they're out here doing interviews. Wild.
I know, their website in the early 2000’s added a lot to the mystique. Part of what interested me in the band. It was hard to find interviews back then but it was possible. An mp3 of a radio show… those were the days
All of their early interviews, 90% of what they said was trolling the interviewer and the fans, and you couldn't tell what the 10% legit was, if it was even that much. They take the music seriously but not themselves, so until recently, all we knew of Tool was that they were weird but committed artists who loved some hallucinogens.
I remember buying the cassette for sober. My parents found it and opened it and say all the art work inside. They were not happy that I was listening to the “devil’s music”. lol.
@@anthellishahahaha. U Just described my childhood man lol
@@curtx88 was that toolshed???? i remember reading the FAQ section about 100 times a day hahaha
I cant believe that not a single Tool song has every been recorded to a click. mind blown.. his timing and feel is so flawless
Danny IS the click. 😊
Sorry to ask, but what does click means in musik recording ?
@@kasperrieberg3495 Its an audio track that just plays clicks at a regular interval. The band (especially the drummer) listen to it, which allows them to all stay in time during the song.
@@albino_penguin2268 Just say metronome lmao
Tbh it didn't suprise me. Having a click on some Tool songs would just send me West with some of those polyrhythms.
Truly amazing interview. My idol. Hats off you and your crew Rick.
Thank you Rick. This, right here, is the best interview with Danny anywhere!
A super group with Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Danny Carey and Steve Vai will play King Crimson 80s material - hence Danny's t-shirt. Great interview!
So glad Danny mentioned Genesis as an influence. Early 70s Genesis doesn’t get mentioned enough. Phil Collins stick work was impeccable in their proggy days. Tool is my favorite band. Danny Carey is my favorite drummer. Mad respect here.
Foxtrot and selling england are just... Chef's kiss
Phil Collins was one of the best drummers period...rock jazz all styles. Legend. Danny loved Phils impeccably dynamic mastery.
Also, his stuff with Brand X....
@@user-po3ir2tx5z yeah. Unorthodox behavior has some of my favorite drum sounds
Trick Of The Tail also has great drumming👍🏼❤
Great interview! Thank You Rick! It would be great to hear Justin next. Cheers!
I’ve been waiting for this interview for a long time. Thank you, Rick! One of my absolute favorite drummers!
Rick is the perfect person to interview these musicians. He's a top notch musician himself and has such a vast knowledge of music, instruments, studio recording and so much more. This was a incredible episode without a doubt.
Beato is the master of letting his interviewee just talk!
That was a really great game to watch. Crazy close, great shots and rounds throughout. Thank you for posting these tourneys!
Great interviewing by Rick, kept a good stream of questions going with lots of variety. Nice job!
Not only was this one of the best Danny Carey interviews. It was the best TOOL interview we have ever gotten information wise. Thank you 🙏
I really enjoy hearing how normal danny seems, like not some crazy specific genius but just someone with a lot of passion for their craft.
Phenomenal interview. Thank you
I can watch this over and over again. Great interview!
T00L live= 4 Sorcerers conjuring actual magic. They're so locked in every night! I'm convinced DC & Justin have a telepathic connection. It's like a pair of ice skaters performing their routine on a tightrope
🔧🪖🤘
A true genius. If you haven’t seen the drum-cam of him playing Pneuma, go watch it! 🤯
So true. I watch that about 50 times a week.
Go see all of his other drum cams !
I watch it once a month, don’t worry
I want to but it seems like that’s the only one in existence. Or at least the only one RUclips recommends me.
He makes the most complex and intricate rhythms look effortless
I’ve been waiting for this to drop since you started teasing it. Awesome stuff.
The way his face lights up in the beginning when you mention the tuning of his snare and he proceeds to get into the intricacies of his setup, you can tell he loves his craft.
as a 52yo drummer it makes my heart happy to hear him talk about click tracks, and music breathing...
Full dependence on using metros or Click tracks are turning these kids learning today into mechanical AI robots completely void of proper dynamics. Sad that because of youtube young drummers today put their focus more on sounding anything but human.
Theyre not breathing...theyre living drum machines.
He's 62!!
@@jaywilcock2062 And still kicking ass on the kit!
@@thebob01 one of the best to ever do it!!!
To speak with Danny is genuinely a bucket list-level experience but to do it IN THE ORIGINAL ROOM 😱 I’d imagine that was really special. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you both for your tremendous contributions to the love of art and of music. In the current space it can be easy to dilute the magic into something that just feels thin, and creators like you revitalize the fire in myself and many others. I’m off to my yearly Tool discog binge
Great conversation Mr Beato. Loved every second of it.
I really enjoyed this interview. What a lovely soul. Grateful for his success and ability to share his talents with the rest of us. Just lovely!
My mom is going to be stoked to learn that one of my favorite drummers played with one of her favorite singer/songwriters
I think this is the first interview/tour any member of Tool has ever done in their infamous loft/rehearsal space. It’s incredible to me that they have used the same space for over 30 years!
My FAVORITE drummer indeed!! Thank you so much for this interview ❤
Danny is such a down to earth dude. Really loved this interview
It's so refreshing to watch an interview with a member of Tool and have them actually talk about... Tool!
I was just talking to my buddy who is a HUGE Tool fan, like myself, about that. Maynard seems like he would rather talk about anything other than Tool which is odd to us. To each their own but I don't get it.
✌️✝️
@keithk1559 Maynard has never kept it a secret how much he hates tool and tool fans its all in the lyrics and innuendo of his comments I think maynard would've been content playing weird music in clubs then tool happened
@@Boston_420You don't understand his humor
@@Boston_420 Yeah, I know, but like I said I just don't get it. "Buy my fucking record, Buy, Buy Buy"... I just think it's a shame, that's all.
✌️✝️
@@hunterfitch5951 I get it just fine I'm a sarcastic smart ass myself we can smell our own but he's never been overly friendly to tool fans and clearly doesn't enjoy it much anymore just how he makes living cashing the tool checks but I get it Maynard was never a one band mega band type of artist
So Danny is the "sound guy" of Tool. He's obsessed with getting it right and being the reference point for the product they put out. I knew he was into this stuff, but ATC's, bob ludwigs speakers? He takes it to another level.
It's really great to hear you drill down into the technical aspect of how Danny derives his sounds and the nuances of his percussion instruments. Loved this interview...
