[@peterhlinka4789]

@@colinbentham6946 I, for one was elated to discover he's so down to earth and easy to communicate with, not only to 'music journalists' (the band singularly enjoys taking that ilk on little side steps, question and answer booby traps much like a linguistically disorienting round of pin the tail on the donkey, wherein the interviewer believes he's a Chessmaster that's 2 steps ahead of the move only brought to reality by the sharp sting of a self inflicted thumbtack wound. Fair exchange for all the misgquotes, editing, literary license and slant the band endures by such machinery. Check your preconceptions and ego at the door a bit and the experience will be something altogether different. Danny is aware and thoughtful and enjoys drawing people in, not erecting obstacles. His drumming reflects this wholeheartedly. But preconceived attachments/ways of thought make many of us believe it to exist on some lofty unobtainable level, to be awed even worshipped. Drummers who ought tl know better struggle to analyse and decipher like some lost sea scroll. I'm guilty your honor. But like many quests, it's in the letting go and letting it be that open the doors of perception. I'm curious Colin, did you feel any of that when faced with 'the most difficult drumming you'd ever had to learn', that maybe as much as the relief of finally obtaining some of the mind/limb coordination, getting the comfort of a little muscle memory and less alienation was there a sense of kinship, just a little? No matter, different strokes, different folks, yeah? and I understand completely why you'd 'never want to play that piece again'. That's what Danny would appreciate the most, I'd wager. Apart yet a part... Nice job, brother.

[@paulgraydrummer]

Great vid guys! Really enjoyed it a lot, great playing! What an awesome kit, love the 2002 Extreme crashes too. I have the older ride Danny Carey used, the 21" signature dry heavy, and it's lovely. I got a 21" 2002 Big Beat from you guys a few years back and that's great too. Keep up the good work!

you shouldve included at least the korg wavedrum as an electronic component. ive seen in the warehouse in one the background of one of yalls videos, that wouldve been nice

[@peterhlinka4789]

Oh yeah... Especially if one just happens to to be doing nothing more than taking up space and giving the dust a place to collect itself. How does that even happen? Gear wise, I can imagine your focus would largely fall on a sponsor's, if not newest/most sought after offerings, then ones still in production and readily available. Danny's has quite the collection of esoteric vintage analog synth oddities on his website but the Wavedrum, overlooked and unpopular as it was in it's day, like the Mallet Kat was no gimmick but a seriously well engineered and put together instrument. Had one made an appearance, Hands down it would've been reduced to your copy of it's bill of sale in a snap. But hey, this episode being the first from you guys I've come across, gotta say I'm sold, subscribed and anticipating more. The bar is high, so how about Carl Palmer at the height of ELP? Ok too many gongs and that church bell... Maybe give us Kenwood Dennard, then. Playing full kit and keyboards, with his foot. No pressure. See you next time and hats off!

Awe come on, no 14 inch roto tom for that low rack tom? That is part of the danny carey sound. It why I got one, sounds super good with an 8 inch rack tom as your high rack tom

[@peterhlinka4789]

Now you're talkin'... I always wanted a 14" rototom up top since seeing Bill Bruford's hybrid King Crimson kit in the Discipline days (one of Danny's desert island albums) witnessing them live was a game changer for me. You can get so much out of that size... Plus, I've always had a thing for square sized 8 and 10" toms at medium tension. Still uncommitted. Then along came Tool... I went and built up 2 little stealth type racks to keep things where I've always imagined having them and I'm in love with drums and drumming all over again. As for that Rototom, how else could you have a 14" drum's business end just a few inches above and directly over the kick! The 13x11 found new real estate just left of the hi hat. So comfortable.

@@colinbentham6946 Well said. Imagine my luck when the tour happened to stop not only in my town but at my job (I'm a stagehand for the local 442). So complete Tool immersion from 8am-2am. During performance, I don't work so had to settle for standing in the wings about 20' from Danny as he sets up stage right. I've seen many shows like this but this was... was freakin' Tool! and nothing short of a physically and psychologically altering, spiritually ecstatic communion that many 'psychedelic' bands of the day with their 12 bar blues and wah wah pedals only hinted at. Pink floyd, if you've ever witnessed them, has a close commonality with Tool. King Crimson as well. Besides stellar musicianship, these folks are capable of taking you to places you might wanna check out. Happy to exist when they do.

@Rex R why would you say that? DW Collectors are ultra thin shells. I wasn’t referring to price. Only shell specs.

[@Assimilator702]

@Rex R Dave Grohl plays guitar and sings these days. When people mention the Dave Grohl sound they're usually referring to his days in Nirvana. Heavy Maple or Birch shells with a Tama Bell Brass snare. These videos are mostly pointless anyway. Once in a studio no one can know for certain which gear was used with 100% certainty.

[@loganready1266]

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

Bronze is actually THE best sounding material for a kit there is; the tone, the body on those toms and that fat, buttery kick are unmatched!

[@colinbentham6946]

The Floor Toms for me just blew me away!

[@Assimilator702]

I agree with the snare. But for the rest of the kit it’s too expensive, too heavy and doesn’t offer enough benefits over high end wood shells. State of the art manufacturing will get you everything you need from drum shells compared to shell material. The greatest benefit from using cast bronze is using it in a snare and it’s in a class of its own.
