Good run down!

[@drumrundown]

@@HoldenMcG good catch!

[@HoldenMcG]

@@drumrundown Thanks for the update... I'll edit my earlier comment!

[@drumrundown]

thanks again for the catch! my coffee clearly hadn't kicked in yet!

[@Currently_Fangirling]

I know nothing about drums but I could listen to Danny talk all day

[@premierguitar]

We finally got Daniel into the Rundown fold ... he's still behind Jake and Sam who've notched two Rig Rundowns!

[@catchinglooks]

the people need a third!

[@danielwest3087]

Come on Premiere!!! We need new Jake and Sam rundown for their Starcatcher tour!! They’ve got quite the upgrades since your previous rundown of them!!! Come on!!!

[@someday7868]

So glad he got his time!! Well earned!

[@chrissypooooo]

Please, we need an updated rig rundown with Sam and Jake! @premierguitar

[@gunpeiyaboi5280]

I have a mighty need to hear about Sam's new Rickenbacker and Jake's controversial shift toward a semi-hollow

[@fredrkane8481]

I can relate to a drummer who buys and designs his own kit. It's especially cool when the drummer could easily be sponsored and play whatever high end overkill gear the company might drop in his lap. The fact Mr. Wagner gets his gear from reverb and Craig's list raises his cool status to the ultimate high!

[@RedBeardTattoo]

Thats how I am too, I like designing and building of the kit too. I look at it as a reflection of my personally.

[@the2harveys]

Love to hear the passion in his voice about his kit. Daniel your drum solos are always the highlight of any Greta Van Fleet show!

[@darcyjrofe]

Danny is now one of my top favourite drummer that I idolise when I play, such an inspiration and experimental drummer with such a definitive sound. I can’t wait to see him in the flesh when he comes to Australia in August!

[@hannahmesser953]

I was at this show and it’s so cool to see the behind the scenes! Danny is so wonderful ❤️

[@drumrundown]

⚡️🖤⚡️

[@dalekay9ine]

I'm a 5a guy forever, I've tried bigger sticks and I just can't do it. 5a is perfect. Danny seems super down to earth, great episode!

[@jehouse86]

I love that he gets all his kits used!

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

7:36 I know Alex Van Halen used a Die Cast hoop on his Supraphonic to get that classic VH drum sound, it's no wonder it sounds good!

[@MW-pv7rm]

What a humble great guy. I love the fact he’s mad famous and still buys he’s own drums.

[@drumrundown]

i really dig that.

[@someday7868]

Love this! Saw them that night in Louisville. They are fkn amazing live. So much talent. The knowledge Danny has gained & the excitement he has about his craft is so much fun to hear & watch. Everything has a purpose & has been thought about in detail, but it's apparent he's having fun with it all. Seeing him evolve, trying new things, experimenting... just the creativity of the entire band is a gift. He mentioned a new album, damn that's exciting! Thanks so much for the interview.

[@AnthonyGhazel]

Thanks for the Rock Locks shoutout!

[@drumrundown]

til the end of time homie. LOL

[@AnthonyGhazel]

@@drumrundown LFG

[@bobc.5698]

I just added another 24"x14 to my kit....and just bought 2 speed flyers. The speed kings and the old camco's are kind of light. Saw you with my son back in 2018 in Phoenix. It was great! Try some danmar beaters.

[@believeinittobe4873]

I love this guy's attitude and approach to his craft. Cool guy!

[@rockmandrums343]

Alot of touring drummers are using these kits for just cutting through live performance and they just look amazing under the lights as well so win win love this series, rock on brother 🤘🦖

[@susanyoung6632]

Daniel! You sound SO confident and it is exciting to hear!!

[@laureneweichman172]

Love hearing him talk about his kit. ❤️ “more cowbell” 😂

[@kkupsky6321]

I’m happy rock gets stadiums still. I can’t knock u. I love my vistalite snare. I have a 20” vistalite floor tom. It’s so hard to find 20” triple flanged hoops.

[@ivorjones9961]

Love Nelson's Drum Shop in Nashville! One stop shopping for vintage and cool drum equipment.

[@drumrundown]

Such a rad shop!

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

29:41 Alright lets not get carried away boys.. 😂

[@drumrundown]

😹😹😹

[@philipandersson4286]

Danny has evolved so much as a drummer over the years, really amazing drummer now🔥

[@darkdrum1968]

I love the old school 70’s vibe.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Nice interactions between you dudes. I love concert toms. AND rototoms. I also have chimes on the church kit.

[@SPACEMAN_fkYT]

The story is nice but a sound demo is the icing.

[@johnsoos6907]

Glad to finally hear someone say they'd rather use wedges, than IEMs!!!!!

[@thatguyinaband6341]

Sick! this video sounds great BTW and I gotta say agree 100% with the drum heads having a break in period that they sound best after, PS. clutch mention with that Cowbell!!

[@drumrundown]

thank you! just decided to go with a zoom in the room and trust my own eq-ing, lol. I just recently changed a snare head before going into the studio, and PUT THE OLD HEAD BACK ON because the new one sounded worse, and I couldn't get it to the sweet spot. Not sure when that head is supposed to come off now tho! and thank you, if GVF has a cowbell phase, we all know where it began...

[@jaxonsavagedrums]

Thank you for the years of inspiration Daniel 🙌

[@chadallen6242]

Great to hear how passionate he is about his kit.

[@JustinWilson01]

Not changing drum heads it's gonna be the new trend. I'm here for it. Especially with the absurd price of heads and sticks and basically all drum gear these days.

[@drumrundown]

modern problems require modern solutions.

[@scottlowell493]

I've owned drums made various woods, carbon fiber, fiberglass aluminum and acrylic. My 18x18 RCI starlight acrylic floor tom was easily the best sounding of any kind. It's focus was like a 16", but it's power was almost like a gong drum. Modern vistalites have a better bearing edge and construction than my old 76's did. They sound fatter and cleaner. IIRC, Ludwig vistalites are made by RCI starlight USA.

[@drumrundown]

That's drum sounds like it was aweome!

[@BadAshBooking]

You need to do a Drum Rundown of all the awesome Drum Shops in Nashville. 🤘😎

[@drumrundown]

That is a killer idea!

[@eurekagarlicpei6647]

Very nice

[@eucabusas]

I'm happy to see another drummer that rocks a 15 18 19 22 with a rock kit! Most drummers these days use large thin cymbals with large drums but I still prefer the pitch of an 18" as a main crash.

[@drumrundown]

Definitely have had quite a few drummers in Rundowns champion smaller cymbals on stage to help with dynamics and wash, mostly trying to stay out of vocal mics without having to use shields, lol!

[@dalekay9ine]

Not surprised he's rocking the 602 Paistes, definitely up his ally!

[@theamazing10yearold65]

These guys live in pretty down to earth homes don't they?

[@WhyTheHorseface]

Should put some Ludwig silver dots on those.

[@Groovedump]

Literally what Bill Zicko intended when he applied for the patent for the 1st acrylic drums. He wanted the drummer to be more visible. (Think… Wonder Woman’s jet.)

[@troydalton2944]

U used my line! "I'll try anything twice. You never know after just once. U might of just had a bad experience, so try again to make sure. You might be suprised". I've used that line for years lol.

[@cutitshaveit]

Great kit .love the paiste best

[@ronbaker8383]

I used to have a 9 piece Ludwig clear acrillics. Now have black Tama Rockstars

[@rloasby]

I like that he sticks with drum heads for a long time. Blows my mind how often some other big name touring drummers will swap snare heads like every show and tom heads every other show, so wasteful!

[@spyowns]

They autograph and sell them lol. If not, I hope they are donating to a school or something.

[@edwardstudebaker9821]

What are the little half moon shaped lug locks used on the snare?

[@drumrundown]

Rock Locks!

[@mightymorphinconspiracythe5024]

I love how down to earth he is even when it comes to gear. Sometimes I see guys who change heads every day for the tour, And I think there is no way that head is shot already. I mean some guys hit really hard but you don't have to do it that hard lol

[@drumrundown]

I'm def with Danny on this one! Check out the last Rundown with Matt Halpern, he talks pretty extensively on how and why to hit drums and cymbals correctly to bring the optimum tone!

[@mightymorphinconspiracythe5024]

@@drumrundown yea ive watches that one too. (I wouldn't miss any of these. I love watching rundowns) I studied jazz a lot in college and I'm not as into it these days but it did teach me how to play strong without beating the heck out of cymbals and drums. I play some heavier stuff now a days but still use thin cymbals and 7As and haven't broken heads or cymbals.

[@drumrundown]

I'm on 7A longs! I guess I'm doing something halfway ight because I rarely ever break a stick and still hit pretty hard! haha Thanks for watching these Rundowns! Very honored to get to bring them to you all. ⚡️🤘⚡️

[@mightymorphinconspiracythe5024]

@@drumrundown oh man! I love the ProMark Long's with the rebound is nice as well. Vic Firth started the Freestyle sticks and they are sickly longer. Have you ever played the Alex Van Halen Sticks from Regal tip. Can't get them anymore. But I got a few pairs awhile back. They are insanely long and I actually really love how long they are.

[@drumrundown]

I tried the VF Freestyle and ended on the X8D. Maybe even the only dude buying em! 😹

[@kenaiello4851]

😊 local guy good drummer I had a 1980 vistalite

[@Thesmokymountainman]

I owned a 73-74 Clear Vistalite set sounded huge and loud. Unfortunately had financial trouble and had to feed the family. It’s all good now and still playing Ludwig and Paiste

[@bbdrms7283]

Are some of his cymbals formula 602? Are those B8 or B20?

[@chrissmith3668]

Hey that’s my town. Irony is only mentioning Neil Peart when the guy is sitting behind a 1 up 2 down Ludwig Acrylic kit with Paiste cymbals.

[@ShaneinDSM]

Im a Sabian user who loves stack cymbals but I cant find a sound i like outside of the chopper and XSR stack they make. Does anyone have any splash cymbal ideas I can stack to make a stack sound? I dont care about pitch, really. Just short and fast.

[@sparknado]

So is that an lm400 supraphonic?

[@stephenlandry9061]

Now those are Drums

[@Nickystixdrumming]

This is pretty sick Love how he doesn’t switch head’s each time. Love the constant wind chimes while you chat And love that he gives me humble and very chill vibes Danny is #invitedToTheBBQ @punkrockmba

Ludwig and Paiste a Win Win

D6s on all your toms is wild.

Arejay Hale also rockin D6s on all his toms. Another arena tour. I'm seeing a theme...

[@Isabelr2023]

The man you are Daniel Wagner lol making our ears feel good with your drums and mystical chimes ❤❤❤

[@anonamous7108]

Interesting video on lots of technical snippets that most people would not realise drummers do or have a choice of? However for me he is missing the best bad ass drum of all, which is the kettle drum!

[@Avedisdrummer09]

Modern drum heads last a really long time if you hit them musically. The downside to that is sometimes you don't realize how much is lost until you put a fresh one on because they kind of wear beyond sounding great before they actually wear out.

[@1thess523]

I don't even listen to Greta and I don't even know who the host is but as a drummer i enjoyed this video 👌

[@drumrundown]

it's me! Jarrad. Welcome to the channel, check out the other Rundowns, I got some bangers!

[@jaymeramirez7435]

He’s a drum collector / nerd like many of us. I love that he buys his stuff off Reverb!!! What I don’t understand is how come he’s not getting free Ludwig drums??? He’s not endorsed???

[@drumrundown]

endorsement sometimes is just spelled "discount"

[@theamazing10yearold65]

He doesn't live in a big super fancy home does he? Lives down to earth with nice instruments at home right? ​@@drumrundown

[@hi-rb6cj]

i could listen to him talk for hours.

[@antonioarras8000]

👍Cool. Thank you for sharing 🤜🤛🥁🥁🥁🪘

[@kkupsky6321]

Atlas hardware that Ludwig makes is unappreciated and they’re awesome. Ludwig did up the hardware game they were lagging on. Btw please give me some hardware Ludwig. I’ll do whatever you want. I will need another speed king and hihat stand.

[@MirkkoDeMaio]

"Knockin on wood" There's no wood!" 😅😅😅😅

[@drumrundown]

😹😹😹

[@flashingarrows]

Its weird he never mentioned sizes on drums or cymbals,

[@drumrundown]

sizes in the description box!

[@hamilstarr4292]

Always loved this band! I wish they would mention the obvious Zeppelin/Bonham influence! No shame on showing love to what has inspired us the most. Great rundown!

[@drumrundown]

if it rips, it ships! I'm over the moon to see a band playing rock n roll in arenas with wedge monitors and no click!

[@hamilstarr4292]

Absolutely! They hit it right at all the levels on stage

[@catchinglooks]

they have and they do, all the time 😊

[@pepe7drum]

The only thing that bugs me from this videos is that you guys should take more badass angles of the drum kit, and more sound demos would be great too

[@aristotle5698]

You guys should get Steve lamos from American football

[@rochluongo8018]

Sounds like a very nice gentleman. You don't know how lucky you are.

[@matthewaguirre9517]

HOLY SHITTTT

[@Freddy-Da-Freeloadah]

Tattoos... I don't usually like them... But are those stripes on his right arm ProMark stripes? IMHO

[@1thess523]

He needs some Sleeved Washers with those Rock Locks 👌

[@jackquinn57]

You guys gotta get Lucy Ritter on here!! She's an incredible drummer and plays with one of the biggest acts in the world right now! (Chappell Roan) It's crazy she doesn't have more interviews out there.

[@drumrundown]

i'll keep my eye out!!!

[@JP-pm5hj]

Missed opportunity to call this show "Drumdown"

[@Rockinroomsrob]

Could of guessed the kit, sizes and cymbals before he even spoke....

[@Nevernow721]

Peart not Pert.

[@Baribrotzer]

Who, historically played a Ludwig Vistalite 14" 16" 18" 24" kit? And played HEAVY, to music with heavy riffs and a yowling singer? And nobody ever noticed the bass player? That kit is just what you'd expect for a band who sound like Greta Van Fleet.

[@twowombmates]

He's like: I (Bonham) chose an acryllic kit; I (Bonham) chose the black dot heads; I (Bonham) chose a supraphonic; I (Bonham) chose Paiste 602's... M

[@drumrundown]

I (Bonham) play sold out arenas! LOL

[@leolindsey8949]

Bonham didn't play 602's we have to give him that

[@Thingsthatmakemegohmmm]

Thank god, imagine he was into Sum 41 drumming

[@Mile-long-list]

Did you ask him to get everyone in the band to stop wearing all the silly outfits?

[@Thingsthatmakemegohmmm]

I mean they are hot but why do you want them naked on stage? Come on bro, jerk more often

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Zeppelin Van Halen

[@drumrundown]

pretty good company to be in imo

[@grumpy-g5s]

nothing bonham about any of this hey 🙂might as well get rid of the sword and put the 3 circles on the front head , he is honest but refuses to acknowledge led zepplins Bonham in any way , nah no influence at all lol

[@Hellwyck]

A band who modelled themselves on Zeppelin and you didn't expect the drummer to have acrylic Luddies!?

[@SWH2012]

Bunch of plastic straight from the 70s rock era. Not everybody's cup of tea...

dude, don't sleep on acrylic. I've rundown some absolute RIPPER acrylic kits!

[@musicalchairs777]

@@drumrundown I have a 70's Sonor light blue acrylic. Sounds unbelievable! Shells are thick and heavy. Looks incredible on stage too.

[@wuffb]

Greta is a band with wonderful talents, but too much Led Zep influences clearly . . . that being said, the members of the band are solid players . . . would love to see them move on to less Zep clone music.

[@Thingsthatmakemegohmmm]

Not sure what band you been listening to, as they dont sound like led zeppelin if not for 2 songs they wrote at 15

[@ywas123]

In summary this is a rip off of John Bonhams kit. Vistalite Ludwig drums with almost identical pieces

[@drumrundown]

technically they would need to be amber, and a 26" kick. available as the Ludwig Zep Kit.

[@Fabi_W]

@ywas123 Well it's not really a rip-off anymore. Tons of drummers nowadays play these sizes and vistalites and Paiste cymbals. But with GVF its like always a rip-off thing with Zeppelin. I mean good for them to finally find their own style but for some time it was just too obvious.

[@ywas123]

Yeah it’s not an exact rip off, I agree. I think these guys are just particular copy cats of zeppelins music, so for the drummer to use a version of the bonham kit just doesn’t sit right. I’d actually be ok with it if he acknowledged the similarity but he doesn’t lol

[@Fabi_W]

@@ywas123 Atleast he's acknowledging Alex Van Halen who in return is a student of Bonhams playing. But yeah it would be right if he just admits the influence of Bonhams presence on his playing. Even Michael Miley of Rival Sons does it and its not a bad thing to admit that. I guess most fans don't really give a fuck about these things.

[@ywas123]

@@Fabi_W agreed. That beat he lays down for sacred the thread is like one beat away from being when the levee breaks.

[@bostonvh]

When will these guys acknowledge the Zeppelin influence…

[@Thingsthatmakemegohmmm]

They did many times its just that you are obsessed and cant think of anything else
