Much respect to this man for always working around any drum set given to him. Shows that he’s not overly prideful with his skills whatsoever, and he’s respectful to the people that set everything up for him. He knows that everyone knows he’s a good drummer, and he doesn’t always have to go all-out. It’s just about everyone having a fun time. Great guy!

[@harmzuay]

I met Danny one time, briefly, in Nashville. He was playing drums for PLC who opened for A Perfect Circle. Truly one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

[@MarcelloBarile]

it made me smile, such a hero!

[@andrewweiss1301]

Rolling Stone magazine don't know what the fuck they're talking about

[@gringochucha]

So many professional musicians are so fucking jaded and blasé about music and performing. That's why seeing a guy like Danny, one of the most respected drummers in the world, just having fun playing, no matter where or who he's playing with, is such a joy. Rock on!

[@mdtoolfan]

Cheers to this, and your thought! Couldn’t agree more.

"So many professional musicians are so fucking jaded and blasé about music and performing." so ho re you talking about, or are you just making shit up

[@bobparker2675]

I'd say you're describing big artists, most professional musicians are not like that, they are very open minded and down to earth.

[@gringochucha]

@@bobparker2675 A lot of the gigging musicians I know are like that. Struggling with the bullshit and very low financial reward for years and years will do that to a lot of people. On the other hand, you also see a lot of pros just going through the motions on stage. If you compare them to when they were young, a lot of that energy is gone. Of course it doesn’t happen to everyone. But it’s also pretty rare to see such a seasoned guy like Danny happy as a kid whenever he’s behind a kit. I think it’s awesome.

[@MJ-dw7lc]

Man what a friggin legend !! Danny is a great drummer, with a down to earth awesome attitude! Thank you for sharing this 😎🤟🏻👍🏻

[@wrifeiv]

Love this guy. Such a legend

[@Khiro822]

Danny being ranked the 26th best drummer of all time is almost as comical the kid playing clarinet through a mask. He is top 5 all day.

[@hmigaz]

Totally agree. 26th best drummer?! Lol 🤬 Top 5 , at least. Danny the best! Cheers

[@Barrybeastmode]

Top five how? He’s very good at what he does, but anyone who thinks he’s top five probably just hasn’t heard that many drummers.

[@markymark5352]

@@Barrybeastmode you have to be joking. Danny carey is the best drummer of our time. And possibly of all time. His technical skill has never been matched and never will be.

It is great to see someone love what they do. He's having a blast playing with the kids. It's not beneath him just because he's famous. That is so cool to me.

[@staysafe3618]

Probably the easiest tune he's drummed in 30 years. Tool's stuff is so intricate, Danny is a legit badass!!

[@RescueMichigan]

I was just thinking "too bad this is an easy song"

[@jasoncarson1043]

Omg right

[@yeti1622]

No way. He's got the best cover of the song by far but no one can catch what mitch Mitchell did. It's hard for them to get the intensity

[@Slickmickyoyo97]

@@yeti1622 Yeah this no where NEAR Mitchells version. Danny's amazing at what he does, but he sounds like an amateur here....Mitchell had the swing chops.

[@katyungodly]

Tool isn't THAT intricate, but it's definitely not basic 4/4... But DC's drumming is top tier no matter what time signatures he's playing 👌🏻
