Imagine this roundabout connection, that would expose you to a different music genre in either direction if you were a fan of one or the other. Ogre (Skinny Puppy) and Trent Reznor (NIN) played together in a super group called Pigface, later Reznor and other members of NIN would collaborate with Tool for the Tapeworm project.

[@jeremybasham6398]

"I wanna develop new chops, so I can have something to offer." Word? He seems really humble for one of the greatest drummers of all time.

[@ILikeWafflz]

I'll be honest; I've learned a lot of his stuff in Tool; he is an excellent performer and he could not be a better fit for them, and he certainly has a unique approach to his compositions, BUT, THAT SAID, he does not actually use much in the way of "chops". He has 5 or 6 styles of fills that he mixes together in various ways, but a lot if it is surprisingly straight-forward, and I must stress, there is _nothing wrong with that_ . It's just to say that I understand what he means by saying he wants to develop new chops.

[@stevesmith8588]

ILikeWafflz What sort of chops would you suggest Danny works on?

[@adams7786]

@@ILikeWafflz I'm a drummer and have been playing along to Tool for a long time now and know what you mean! He's very tasteful with what he uses for the song. He's a very musical drummer and if there were gospel/jazz/funk etc chops in their songs, probably wouldn't even suit Tool IMO. I'm sure he knows a LOT more than he's letting on though. Thats what humble people say 🤣

[@ILikeWafflz]

@Cody Harbuck Check my channel! I'm not speaking against him; I was saying, as a person that's been playing a whole lot of Tool over the past few years, despite all of the polyrhythms, he does a lot with less than you'd think. There are a lot of components to the Fear Inoculum songs that took me surprisingly little effort to learn because I've become so familiar with his style. I appear to have stirred up some defensiveness with my comment, and if that is so it was misunderstood. To say a drummer does not use much in the way of "chops" is NOT an insult; it's an acknowledgement of style, and is no different from commenting on what genre they play.

[@ILikeWafflz]

@@stevesmith8588 I don't mean to imply "he should work on his chops" with my comment, but rather, I understand the interest in wanting to go sit and work on adding some new patterns to one's drumming vocabulary. I'm not sure how many of the responses I'm getting are from drummers, but for those that aren't, speaking _as_ a drummer, it's easy, even for the crazy-good pros, to get into a bit of a "fill rut", and to want to go sit and work on some fresh patterns to fall back to. It's part of the natural cycle of making music.

[@jeremydraper733]

Jeff Huntsinger I mean the songs on this album are just larger in scale, there a slower build up to these songs so they are definitely less in you face. I can see where you’re coming from but I still think the songs are catchy. But the structure of the songs on FI are completely different from what is on their previous records. Like I said they’re less quick to the point in your face, and more long slow burners that gradually build up. And I can see why people don’t really like that and I can see why people do really like it. Ænima is my favorite and will probably always be my favorite, but Ænima and FI are so different it’s hard to even compare the two. I feel the same with a lot of King Crimson album where their albums are so unique from one to the other that it’s hard to even compare some of them.

[@adamwinters4448]

Danny is such a nice guy. I've met many artists. I met Danny and Adam in Nevada.. they were just down to earth, nice guys

[@jigamac71]

Thanks for this video!!, so glad to hear this!!, and so glad your doing great!, THANK YOU for all that you create!

[@nuke97]

Danny is always upbeat. I appreciate it. However not gonna hang on his words regarding any new Tool music.

[@hunterjuneau7037]

I would pay my life savings for the Tool jam tapes.

[@spasticlabrat]

"I never wanted to be the weak link." Holy shit, my head just exploded at the thought that Danny, whose drumming is such a huge part of the sound, actually worries about being outshined by his bandmates. What are the odds that the four of them, each a creative force, would find each other and get to inspire the rest of us for so many decades? Fucking amazing.

[@HalenAllison]

Check out "imposter syndrome." It's a very real thing for a lot of people, and creatives in particular. Even if- and perhaps especially if - they're professionally successful.

[@Mark-hn5bm]

An absolutely amazing percussionist. Easy to tell Danny is a Very easy going measured guy. Saw Tool for first time last November. Was completely blown away. Can’t wait to go again. Thanks to you and your mates for creating incredible music.

[@davidfischer1971]

there are two possible things happening: either they release an album within the next 2-3 years or they are never releasing anything again. considering their age they absolutely will not take another 13 years

[@sebt4131]

Danny "the Hype-Man" everybody...

[@robertoguerrero3097]

I don’t wanna be a weak link” - the best drummer alive and already one of the greatest ever ... that’s a humble human being right there!!

[@Syd-un1xr]

Danny seems like a genuinely cool and down to earth person and needless to say an absolute monster on the kit. Much respect for this man.

[@gogogg4610]

I NEED MY CONCERT!!! BADLY 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Me too. Saw them in November, had tickets for April and Covid-19 F'ed shit up royally. Happy I saw them though. Its was BEAUTIFUL 🙌🙌🙌

[@kristen9996]

Came across this randomly, listening to Danny and my brain goes, wait...is that the cEvin Key from Skinny Puppy? How cool is that.

[@misterbeans6064]

The way their music is put together is definitely reflected in how they come across. They take their music places where many eyes join in one almost blinding sonic vision.

[@maxgriffin7780]

So glad I got to see them in January! Best concert I've ever been to! Legendary artist all of them!

[@kykk3365]

2:15 Wait what!? Why is this the first time I'm hearing about a visit to "all over Europe" in January and February?

[@izeshmikurac]

Exactlyy. I was in disbelief, literally, thought I misheard. If that were to come to fruition, I would be the happiest guy on Earth

[@TC-lk2ev]

Yeah same, theres nothing on their website though :(

[@juanvictortoca]

Is that a Porsche seat that Danny uses as a Desktop chair? lol

[@paultaylorduke]

$6000 office chair. Vividracing.com perks of being one of the best drummers ever.

[@chrisperkins109]

@@paultaylorduke for someone who gets paid a lot of money while sitting down he's probably gonna want to be in something comfortable

[@user-ix6qr5if5y]

He owns several sports cars, such as a couple of lambos and very likely some porsches, I guess he enjoys sitting in them even when he's not sitting in them.

[@scottshelton6791]

It's a chair from a 911GT3R. Perks of being that Amazing 👏

[@gigis3350]

You spelled god wrong

[@CassieCrochets]

Danny, thank you so much for your contribution in my all time favorite band ever!!!! I love you guys and I've never even seen or loved a band the way I do TOOL....nothing compares! 💜💜

[@user-jl8yn7og7b]

There's one thing that seems to unite the very best drummers, and that's humility. The self deprecating way Danny talks about himself here reminds me of how eloquent and softly spoken Neil Peart was whenever he talked about drumming.

[@matthewhanson5772]

He’s a very humble man Danny is.

[@KdogTN]

Anyone else completly blown away that cEvin Key, one of the synth gods from Skinny Puppy is interviewing Danny Carey a drumming god? To hear that that DC is using mods from him, I'm just dying over here!!! Its like a meeting on Mt Olympus.

[@luciansthresh800]

Perfect description of what I just watched

[@brianring3425]

After the passing of Neil Peart; Danny is my #1 Drummer in the world. Life is short and the world needs Tool right now. Perhaps a song about hope, done in the Tool way.

[@MeowmeowAlexandra]

It would be so amazing if Tool released new music that would literally make my year🤘🏻

[@mostrosticator]

There's probably around a 15% chance of anything new from TooL. It's not impossible, just improbable.

[@d.b.decibels899]

"Inconceivable!"

[@luciansthresh800]

Please quit trying to bring us back down to reality. I enjoy it up here...

[@marcuseth1]

Oh yee of little faith. We must have a new tool album before the final veil is pulled aside. Lmao but honesty don't kill the vibe.

[@pranavlimaye]

@@marcuseth1 did you mean "have* little faith"?

[@twokidsmovies]

I wanna hear new Tool already!!

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

I'm appreciating Tool so much lately. Wish nothing but the best for this band to keep producing more hits!

[@jokhoury13]

coolest and most humble guy in history who is the greatest drummer for the greatest band. anybody else having this same angle on Sir Danny. Cheers.

[@ricardorodriguez6456]

Skinny Puppy is a great band

[@gregharrison5479]

[@matthewerwin4677]

I wish Danny would've been asked about the reaction to his new drum cam video.

[@Wraithlen]

Danny....man.... your ability....your humbleness. I have so much respect for you. Watching you play drums is so amazing.

[@ryandeskar1555]

I would be happier than I’ve ever been if Tool released music more regularly.

[@Fakename70]

That ship sailed 2 decades ago
