Years ago on Tools undertow tour I had the pleasure of meeting Danny. I was sitting on the steps of Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Ks waiting for my friend to arrive when an older couple sat next to me. They started making small talk and told me they were there to see their son who was playing in one of the bands that night. We talked for about 10 minutes before I realized their son was Danny Carey, when he came down the steps they introduced me as their new friend. Danny and I shook hands and he thanked me for hanging with his parents and was able to get me upgraded seating. One of the coolest experiences of my young life.

Was at that show. Insane

the way Danny talks about Maynard just shows how much he loves and respects him

I went to Tool’s Detroit music clinic on May 16, 2019. Tickets were $500 but it cost me about $3k to get to it. Had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Adam, Danny and Justin and it’s an experience I’ll Carey with me my whole life. Danny is something of a shaman. He’s a magical creature. I feel like I weirded Adam out a bit because I asked him if he knew in 1992 that he would be the gen X Led Zeppelin and I think he got a little offended. He kinda stumbled and fumbled for an answer for me and then Danny kinda picked it up for him and said “We didn’t set out to be our generations anything. We just liked playing together and I think that’s probably true for led zeppelin as well. Our audience determines if we’re iconic or successful and you guys showed up for us.” Legends. These guys are indescribable in their humility and just their passion and love for the music they make. Beato has that same passion and love for music. I can’t express how much I appreciate this conversation. Goosh!!!!

I had no idea - and other competitors parents were whispering about him ❤ (shout out to Solo & Ensemble kids & their parents). He killed it!!! So now I've been researching drummers & I had him listen to The Pot. His eyes widened & then he closed them. I just said "Danny Carey, honey." If he decides to not pursue drumming, that's fine - I would be just, if not more, proud if he is as cool as Danny.

you probably would enjoy the live stream with Skinny Puppy's cEvin Key. I think he's done two of them. cEvin has interviewed a lot of music industry people as well, usually people he knows personally either from touring or recording, so it feels less like an interview and more of a conversation between friends, though it's still a little bit interviewie because of course it's on camera for fans, so they can't just talk without providing context.

My 14 year old plays drums and takes lessons. He can cover some new pop/ rock songs pretty well and he has great timing. The other day "Eulogy" came on Sirius radio. He had never heard TOOL and his first response is "this is such a strange song" and "how long is this song Dad?".... Welcome to prog rock and TOOL son!

I have a Danny Carey story... Tool is a little hardcore from what I normally listen to, but I recognize pure talent when I hear it. The whole band is talented and I'm mostly a keyboard guy but after I bought a couple of CD's and was listening closely, I said to myself, "this has to be one of the greatest drummers in history" and decided to take a look on the early interwebs. Consistently Danny ranked at the top of any list I could find and still does today. Like I said, I'm mostly a synth guy, and Tool is some of the "hardest" music I ever listen to, but freakin Danny rocks HARD. Absolutely an amazing drummer.

I am so glad Rick started this channel. God-tier interviewer with god-tier subjects. Perfect every time. I’m always amazed how effortlessly he figures out how each subject wants to be treated. Just perfect.

This guy is so mentally healthy and decent considering being a rockstar. He’s such a genuinely nice guy

It helps that Tool aren't 'Tool' most of the time. They aren't recording and touring endlessly, always together. They take breaks and all have very much their own, individual lives separate from each other and the band. It's kind of like they've never been this super close knit band, and more of a long-term mutual group of collaborators where Tool provides a sort of desired musical outlet for each of them. I dont think they see Tool as being some 'job' they have and need to keep together and could easily call it quits and all do something else if they weren't feeling it anymore. Maynard has other major hobbies, a business, and other music projects. Adam is a professional graphics person and artist who has worked in Hollywood. Danny has other passions in life and other musical projects. Not sure about Justin, but I'd guess he's learned to not put his whole life into Tool as well by necessity.

Danny almost seems nervous the whole time. What a guy!

It's incredible to me that Rick knows enough drums to talk tech to a drum guru but still give a decent interview that's not boring to us non-drummers

All of their early interviews, 90% of what they said was trolling the interviewer and the fans, and you couldn't tell what the 10% legit was, if it was even that much. They take the music seriously but not themselves, so until recently, all we knew of Tool was that they were weird but committed artists who loved some hallucinogens.

Been a TOOL fan since the beginning. I'm 54 now and I still love their music. Seen them live four times and own all their albums. Great band.

Rick Beato thank you so much for the unique exposure and access you bring to music. And thank you for the most interesting interview with my fave drummer of all time, Danny Carey. So good. Keep up the good work!

It's so refreshing to see an off the cuff interview and really hear guys like this talk shop and open up. What a great guy and it's reassuring to hear for a tiny artist that they build songs pretty much the same way as we do. Jam for cool stuff, record everything, and then iterate and refine it. So awesome.

Not only was this one of the best Danny Carey interviews. It was the best TOOL interview we have ever gotten information wise. Thank you 🙏

Beato is the master of letting his interviewee just talk!

Like so many TOOL fans here, thank you. I saw him also play at the baked potato in Los Angeles with a bunch of outstanding musicians and session players. They were doing jazz, jazzy rock covers and just fooling around having fun and it was amazing. You have such killer guests on your show and it’s infectious. Beato rocks!

What an amazingly humble and ultra talented man. I love how he respects and admires the other guys in the band too. That’s WHY they’re still together. Great interview, Rick 👍

T00L live= 4 Sorcerers conjuring actual magic. They're so locked in every night! I'm convinced DC & Justin have a telepathic connection. It's like a pair of ice skaters performing their routine on a tightrope 🔧🪖🤘

To speak with Danny is genuinely a bucket list-level experience but to do it IN THE ORIGINAL ROOM 😱 I’d imagine that was really special. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you both for your tremendous contributions to the love of art and of music. In the current space it can be easy to dilute the magic into something that just feels thin, and creators like you revitalize the fire in myself and many others. I’m off to my yearly Tool discog binge

Pure real honest no bs interview with 1 of my favourite drummers. Fucking excellent Rick.

The man is a legend. A national treasure. Such a humble guy too. Protect this man at all cost ❤️

I think this is the first interview/tour any member of Tool has ever done in their infamous loft/rehearsal space. It’s incredible to me that they have used the same space for over 30 years!

I really enjoy hearing how normal danny seems, like not some crazy specific genius but just someone with a lot of passion for their craft.

What a nice, humble guy for being literally one of the best drummers of the last 30 years. It hasn't gone to his head. Another GREAT Beato interview with a likeable musician!

Danny has been my drumming God and icon for such a long time I've been to 13 tool shows all East Coast and I've always dreamed of meeting him but I think I would be so tongue-tied and flustered I wouldn't know what to ask I could probably only offer a handshake or a huge hug with a thank you of unmatched per portion. I hate to see him age it makes me feel old at 41 but damn if he isn't humble and answered everything to the tee what a fantastic interview hats off 2 thumbs all the way up you killed it with this one Rick thank you thank you thank you!!

Danny is my favorite drummer of all time, I don't even have to think about it - and he genuinely comes across as a really nice guy. What I love about Tool, apart from their amazing music of course, is that they've stuck to the Tool sound over the decades. They never went through a dramatic style change like so many bands do. Every new album was still new and amazing, but it was undoubtedly Tool. A lendendary band set apart from all the rest.

@royalred920

They walk a fine line that way. Very different each album, but still the same like you said. I think it helps that they value taking time apart and playing with other people with different styles. Then when they get back together they have something fresh and unique to offer. I always thought that was the complete opposite of what Metallica did with Jason Newstead. He wanted to explore some different ideas, the band didn’t want any of it, and instead of letting him feel free to explore it with another band or project, they basically said either forget about it or leave. Suppressing creativity has never done any good. And IMO, their music has been awful since Jason left the band. 🤷🏼‍♂️
