[@gpwrestler]

The fact (by danny’s account) that Bob Ludwig, master engineer, was able to pick up a floor tom lug bolt loose from a track by ear, and was able to single out that noise by eq’ing it out for all the others to hear it is outstanding.

It's a tough argument if other world class drummers are 'better' than Danny. Lots of these 'best drummers' don't deal in polyrhythms and wild time signatures, but then you don't need to, to be a world class drummer hahaha

[@Horsefingerandthetaintwrights]

" I feel like I can play anything ". Understatement of the century.

[@cable7763]

That is not what he said.

[@chemicaltwin]

Wrong context. He was comparing a singer's instrument, their voice, as something that is harder to maintain than a musical instrument like drums or guitars.

It may be the wrong context, but the sentiment remains because he’s, you know…Danny freaking Carey. He truly can play anything

[@chemicaltwin]

@@aj8580 Totally agree! He is amazing. But I didn’t want people thinking that he is going around saying he can play anything. I feel that he is also very modest and not driven by ego. Which I heavily appreciate as well.

I feel like TOOL has the most equal mixing. Most bands the vocals project well above the guitar bass and drums. In TOOLs mixes, Maynard’s voice is just another instrument.

[@Multiabuse]

First thing I fell in love with Tool for: whenever I concentrated on any one part, it told a story of its own. Every song was 4 individual and amazing journeys - but somehow at the same time, the parts all together make one unified mind-blowing experience. I'd never heard drums speak so clearly or in such an eloquent language before Danny

He’s just an amazing player. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to hear your playing, it is a true gift to the world.

[@MoonmanSpacejam]

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Stamina and shit is honestly the reason I never played drums for a band or for more than just short spurts of recording. I couldn't handle it when I was a teenager. As a 40 year old industrial worker, no way. There's no way I could do a one hour show behind a kit playing 4/4 disco much less multiple hours playing prog.

[@GPlewright]

In the early days there was a huge mystique around Tool … no band photos in their albums - I wondered if the music was being played by aliens or spirits because it was so groundbreaking and incredible. Now we see them very calmly, intelligently and articulately chatting about their music and life like old friends or neighbours. Bravo men for a wonderful journey.

I love hearing someone finally differentiate the voice from the other instruments. People will slag an aging singer all day long while praising how the guitar player still has his tone. An instrument is not going to diminish the same way a a singer’s voice will. And you can always update or buy a new instrument, whereas the singer’s instrument is his/her body. No one ever points that out; here it is in this interview.

Tool has absolutely saved my life. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 22, now 41, and even though I am a functional idiot when it comes to music, Tool has resonated with me since my teenage years in the 90s before I even realized it would be my lifeline to a normal feeling. Whenever I crash into my depression and am at my worst I turn on Tool and just listen for as long as it takes till I come out of it. Danny is the greatest drummer and pairing that with Maynard's vocals just allow me to find the spark I need to continue when I don't think I can. And I don't want to overlook Adam and Justin with what they bring but Danny and Maynard have always stuck with me over the years. I am so happy in this day and age through KZbin and the internet at large, I get to learn more about the quartet who I owe so much too. I lost one of my best friends to suicide and we loved to listen to Tool together, with Ænima and The Pot being our two favorites to jam to. I have continued on for him and for our love of this band for years whenever I didn't think I could. I don't know if this true but I heard a while ago the band said the name can mean many things but they can be (I am paraphrasing) whatever tool that you need in that moment no matter what you are going through. I thank you for my life Danny, Justin, Adam, and Maynard.

There’s a word for that already. Pretension. Tool are the cork sniffers of music. Danny seems cool, the rest think their God’s gift. Taking 10 years to make an album doesn’t make you awesome. Playing odd time signatures doesn’t make you awesome. Look how many no-name KZbinrs can play Tool songs verbatim. The only thing worse than Tool are their fans who think they’re special because they overpaid for one of their shows, and talk about how godly their experience was.

The same can be said of Steve Vai--they're both doing phenomenonal work on this tour and KC fans are forever in their debt.

The sound of Tool, especially Fear Inoculum, is like the sound coming from the future. There's no other band that can pull that off!

[@EllipticGeometry]

I feel that mixing argument even though I’ve never been involved in it myself. I don’t like how compressed recordings often are. Just a drone, very congested. Drums need some room to punch through. Not much of an issue if you have a quick attack so you just punctuate the mix without interfering much in between notes. But those spikes need headroom which a ‘hot’ mix precludes. It doesn’t help that Tool is basically a fight in the lower register, despite not having that many parts. I’m thinking about the older records. You can definitely hear a change with _Ænima._ Before then they had more bombast with a strange trebly edge. More aggressive musical style, too. I wonder if that was mastered with pre-emphasis and now released in that form without the playback adjustment. _Lateralus_ was apparently initially HDCD despite dynamics using a tiny fraction of a CD’s range. _10,000 Days_ went crazy with regular clipping. _Fear Inoculum_ has come down a bit again.

[@williammoore1980]

Well said by Danny. A guitar string or a drum stick can be replaced in a minute. Vocal cords have an expiration date. The singer should always have final say on the set list with reasonable respect to the pace of the drummer and potential re-tunings for the bass/guitars.
