Danny Wagner - Greta Van Fleet - Tour Kit Rundown

[@the2harveys]

As a huge Greta Van Fleet fan, this was really interesting to me. I love hearing the passion and Daniel nerding out about his kit. His drum solos are one the best parts of Greta’s live shows and I can’t wait to see them on tour again this summer. Thank you Modern Drummer!

[@GioGio-fq1vl]

I absolutely appreciate the fact that Danny took the time to introduce and give credit to his tech. There are so many people working together every night to make a show happen, and it's nice to see Danny recognizes that teamwork.

[@sallysez]

Story time- Danny was a top notch high school golfer(his dad was his HS coach) he qualified for the state championships all four years but did not play his senior year because GVF had festival dates in Europe. Seems like a wise choice!

[@sandifulmor8327]

He said he would never think of golf when he was playing music, but would always think of music when he was playing golf.

[@emily.baughman25]

i’m not a drummer so idk what he’s really saying but god do i love him and how passionate he is talking about his drums and his kit. love u danny boy

[@Terriblegolfer16]

He saying “ I want to be John bonham. And I copied everything he ever has done”

[@jordansloan2740]

@@Terriblegolfer16you keep commenting on this video, you’re soooooo mad lmao

[@Terriblegolfer16]

@@jordansloan2740 yes comparing him to the greatest drummer of all time makes me soooo angry. Dumbass

[@sea_of_sunshine]

This is probably the longest I’ve heard him speak, so I’m very glad for this video! I understand nothing about drums but he’s very intriguing to listen to, you can tell how enthusiastic and passionate he is about what he plays. Danny is a wonderful musician and such a humble beautiful person ❤

[@ROOFEYOOO]

What a rad dude. Love that’s he’s a gear head and all over reverb like the rest of us drum junkies. Still blows my mind he rocks the speed king 🤯

[@luiszuluaga6575]

Bass drum pedal, you mean?

[@markgage1142]

Yes,the kick drum pedal. The REVISED SpeedKing pedal is a lot more trouble-free.

[@macadoo2530]

I could never get used to those pedals..cant believe what Bonham did with them

[@shannonburninhell8906]

Danny. Rad. Hell. No. His. Voice. Makes. Me. Wanna vomit. His. Looks. Same

I love this guy he’s so articulate and down to earth, which is a huge change from many other Rockstars

[@shannonburninhell8906]

Great sounds! What a humble guy Danny Wagner is.

[@shannonburninhell8906]

Ya cute 2

[@coolcookiemom]

It’s gratifying listening to someone talk w/so much love & joy for what they do & the tools they do it with. If you love what you’re doing it’s never work.

[@wademiller5700]

I just love that’s he’s being honest about his gear. “Yeah this breaks sometimes.” “This is the 112th year blah blah snare… it sounds good, buts it’s just my back up, because my Supra is just magic.” Most of these sound like a infomercial direct from whatever manufacturer they’re sponsored by. This was just unbiased honesty and it was truly refreshing!

[@dugjay]

Gotta love someone that likes to find a way to re use old equipment and give it new life!

[@Rtrem1101]

I could listen to him talk all day. The kit is incredible!

[@kvpilots]

I love him. I wanna see a Josh video of how he uses his vocals and what he does to keep them in tip top shape.

[@thecakemomcom]

His vocal coach is Ron Browning.

[@jasonsmouse6570]

He ties several rubber bands around his balls to get his sound.

[@emilydormuth5350]

HAHA the last clip has me dead. Thanks Danny for showing us around.. I was always curious about your set honestly. I’ll never say no to 20 minutes of Daniel 💞

[@Badmmajmma]

Danny, you are awesome…I learned a lot just listening to you. Age of Machine is one of my faves so it’s cool to hear you switch out for that song. I love the bottle opener. Yes, please sing.

[@gayle8153]

Danny deserves all the attention we can give him. He’s a great human being, and he works his ass off every night for the band and the crowd. And I don’t know just which part of his kit creates that thud sensation, but the first time I saw them live in Bridgeport, Connecticut, I swore it was gonna be the death of me, because I was standing right in line with his drums. I was contemplating hittin’ the deck!😂

[@brooklynmidnightcrafter]

My daughter & I met Danny in person in Asbury Park. He’s only a yr older than her. lol. Very, very kind & truly talented. GVF will make it into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Long live rock!

[@StereoAnthony]

Pretty cool sounding kit, but that 402 really does it for me. What a killer sounding snare.

[@olivia_tpwk_2872]

I know absolutely nothing about drums but I watched the whole thing just for Danny

[@carolanderson2326]

Daniel is just too adorable. I don't even know what half of the stuff he's talking about, it's just so enjoyable to hear him talking.

[@MissJensk1]

Exactly what I thought too

[@KnapfordMaster98]

I love how chill and humble this guy is. A true drum nerd in the best way.

[@brendanlindley]

as a drummer, i've been waiting for a kit tour of danny's for so long, thank you!

[@Pearl3Drummer]

Very cool. Seems like a humble kid. Love his playing.

[@mremusic999]

I respect the fact that even though he's in a huge band, he's playing orphan drums/roto toms/old Ludwig timbales because he likes the way they sound. Drum geeks unite!

[@CarlosAnglada]

Fascinating

[@leehendrickson3030]

Wow what a great guy,and drummer, and giving great props to his tech, rock on!

[@annamaeb4402]

i love this man more than life itself

[@grachisol8236]

I love the little fan mounted on the crash stand.

[@markdoss1045]

I saw them at Bourbon and Beyond last year-not knowing anything about Daniel as a drummer-just knew about GVF..He was awesome!!! Great show!! Really cool to see his drum kit and have him tell about it..

[@brodywurr2271]

Saw the show in Arizona, I was blown away! And what a sweet guy, great interview.

[@chocokat97]

This is really cool. I feel like people might not guess how much goes into the drums too! Danny is a talent. We’ve heard the nerd stuff about their guitars & bass so it was about time we got to hear Danny nerd out about the drum gear

[@celicalover1]

Love hearing him tell us about his kit!! You're an amazing drummer, Danny!! Can't wait for the Starcatcher release and tour!! Keep hitting HARD!!!

[@emilthedude7937]

He's a really sweet dude. Love his energy. Decent drummer aswell.

[@suemarshall7039]

Thank you so much for this interview. I just can’t get enough of Danny. He is quieter than those crazy Kiska boys. So interviews often don’t show much of him.

[@SunyCartoons]

I love it when musicians geek out about their gear

[@lolaplum666]

daniel is such a gem of a human 🤍

[@Michelle-tk9jq]

The nicest, most personable, most genuine rock drummer…threw one of those sticks high up at Beale Street with the biggest smile. It hit me in the mouth, dropped to the ground and the guy in front of me got it. I appreciated the experience just the same. Love to you, Danny and best of luck on the SC tour. ✨

[@ellenking3236]

I love this band so much and love the passion they have for their art! Danny is such a sweetheart 💕

[@planet_of_the_grapes]

You seem like a very humble and genuine solid guy, keep having fun playing those tubs.

[@AmyDrums]

Love the white kit. It reminds me of Michael Derosier's white Ludwigs in the 70s when he added the North Drums toms.

[@peterpiwoski]

Don't forget Angel's Barry Brant. White Ludwigs with North drums.

[@jaxonsavagedrums]

Great to see Daniel getting love from Modern Drummer! He deserves it 🤘🏻

[@fredschmidt6802]

Lot of people think you need an expensive kit to play live . It's just not true . Nice to know I am not the only one frankinstin their drum kits it's a lot of fun doing itv

[@ScorpionF1RE----USA]

Awesome drummer.

[@jdogdaddy]

Love the Speed King! I have never been able to dial in a pedal the way my early 80's Speed King performed - DW 5000, Pearl's , and currently Tama Iron Cobra's - all great pedals, but I miss my Speed King's!

[@ivorjones9961]

Thank you Danny for your time and sharing your kit! Reverb!

How cool. An old set of concert kit. I used them for years. I’m not really sure why I stopped but I’m going back to them a bit.

I enjoy his passion about his gear. I can relate.

[@johnmorrison8618]

Not really a greta van fleet fan (not NOT a fan either) not even a drummer (guitar player) but familiar with lots of rig run downs and this was S tier, covered all the bases down to monitoring. Guy is as down to earth as it gets and you can tell he loves his craft.

[@demonicsweaters]

Such a cool kit and dude. I love these kit rundown videos.

[@Kamila_b25]

I didn’t even realize this vid was 20 minutes long till I was 17 minutes in bc it felt like 5 min😭😭

[@ChristyBrown-kc1st]

Enjoyed listening to this! I always wondered about the in ear monitors for drummers and what that would be like. My bands never made enough money for them, so we either suffered through incredible decibels or suffered with not hearing anything with ear plugs.Would’ve loved to have had them for hearing protection, but how they’d work for drummers seemed like it’d feel very strange. I’ve noticed that snare tone, it’s beautiful. So cool to learn that it’s his baby!

[@royalangel311]

Very interesting! Up close and personal!

[@AnnaInumerable]

Very cool. He just picks up a used kit off Reverb. Awesome.

[@gsmith207]

Lovein the kit Danny! Also love Vic Firth Sticks! He was a Maineah! At 56 I’ve seen a lot of drummers, and you got the groove bud! You go

[@Kevin-kr5ok]

Good job drumming my son ! Seen GVF in N.O. a couple years ago ! Good stuff right there !

[@darcyjrofe]

I know there was a hole article in American sound and lighting about Gretas Dreams in gold Stage setup, but id love a full video tour of it.

[@briang6040]

Awesome! My buddy and I like buying used gear and fixing it up also. So much fun!🥁

[@natetobias9389]

I needed this video! As if I didn’t already appreciate Danny, hearing this solidified it. Thank you modern drummer!

[@michaelandcolinspop]

Not a big Greta Van Fleet fan, but I can certainly appreciate his love for that kit and his passion for knowledge about the instrument, especially the snare. Wow, that’s a great sounding drum!

[@emileebenefield8761]

This is cool learning about especially after seeing Danny live during DIG Tour and to now be excited to compare to Starcatcher Tour!

For someone who learned to play the drums for this band, he sure can play!

He's a good guitarist too.

[@callumfriend2523]

@@VerMainer think he wrote the basics for Broken Bells before Jake took over and made it what it is?

@@callumfriend2523 Yes, he writes a ton of their songs, or beginnings anyway, and the melodies as well.

You seem like a really nice guy Danny. I love your enthusiasm for the drums. I’ve got a bunch of old Ludwig and paiste stuff. 67’ supraphonic. Keep rocking sir!🤘

[@tombrenes2411]

Beautiful monster kit My 2 cents I’d find a 18 10 lug (to match) A white Ludwig 15 x 12 colosseum snare Modify the hi hat pedal swap with speed king pedal (to match)

[@briyannaholt2111]

i love him so much omg

When he started playing Built By Nations at 14:45 i was kinda hoping he'd do that fill from the very end of the song. I've been struggling to figure out that fill forever and would love to see exactly how he plays it.
