Tool Drummer Danny Carey Talks About Their New Album

In a recent interview done by drumstick maker Vic Firth, Tool drummer Danny Carey spoke about the new Tool Album on the horizon and revealed that they will be hitting the studio soon.

“Justin’s been really prolific on this record,” says the sticksman. “He’s been coming in with tons of riffs. I usually try to find something to complement it rather than play what he’s playing. We’re allowed to do that in our band since there is only three pieces really. It gives you a lot more space. I try to find angular things to against it, of course do the things the drummer needs to do… lead things into the next part, be the dynamic leader but it’s kind of confusing sometimes, especially with some of the riff those guys come up with sometimes, in 13 or 21 or whatever. We have one song in 17 that we’re doing now. It’s coming together though, I’m hoping we get in the studio by June or July and start tracking. That’s the plan anyway.”
