Im just amazed at how humble Danny is. I saw them a month ago in OKC and purchased VIP tickets, and him and Justin were obviously the most cordial and friendly. You could definitely tell Adam was not comfortable around people, and thats who I was there to see the most, but they still came out after the warm up session (which was by far one of the coolest things ive ever seen) and took a pic. I was literally 3 feet from Danny and 10 from Adam. Danny shook everyones hand he walked past, and you could just see how nice of a guy he is by his interactions. They were all so cool, but I remember thinking, man, Danny is genuinely just a really nice dude.

Nothing makes a music artist more happier in an interview then asking about their craft and contributions rather then the same pretentious cliche questions they get asked in most interviews. Danny is such a humble and down to earth guy that's a pleasure to listen to both conversely and musically. Tool is very much the sound and success of Danny's drum work on their albums and especially live. He's not only able to replicate what he does on the records while playing live but manages to add better elements that compliments the song even better then it does in the studio version. Salival is a great example of that as is various live shows on KZread. May Danny's work live on forever ✌🏽❤️
