As a follow-up to our recent Tour Kit Rundown, Modern Drummer’s David Frangioni sat down with drummer Danny Carey of TOOL for a conversation from the backstage dressing room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. The brief discussion covered a few topics including Danny’s early education and evolution as a drummer, the creative process behind the music of TOOL, and Danny’s affinity for collecting. Enjoy!
