Story time- Danny was a top notch high school golfer(his dad was his HS coach) he qualified for the state championships all four years but did not play his senior year because GVF had festival dates in Europe. Seems like a wise choice!

He said he would never think of golf when he was playing music, but would always think of music when he was playing golf.

As a huge Greta Van Fleet fan, this was really interesting to me. I love hearing the passion and Daniel nerding out about his kit. His drum solos are one the best parts of Greta’s live shows and I can’t wait to see them on tour again this summer. Thank you Modern Drummer!

This is probably the longest I’ve heard him speak, so I’m very glad for this video! I understand nothing about drums but he’s very intriguing to listen to, you can tell how enthusiastic and passionate he is about what he plays. Danny is a wonderful musician and such a humble beautiful person ❤

@wademiller5700 Жыл бұрын

I just love that’s he’s being honest about his gear. “Yeah this breaks sometimes.” “This is the 112th year blah blah snare… it sounds good, buts it’s just my back up, because my Supra is just magic.” Most of these sound like a infomercial direct from whatever manufacturer they’re sponsored by. This was just unbiased honesty and it was truly refreshing!

Danny deserves all the attention we can give him. He’s a great human being, and he works his ass off every night for the band and the crowd. And I don’t know just which part of his kit creates that thud sensation, but the first time I saw them live in Bridgeport, Connecticut, I swore it was gonna be the death of me, because I was standing right in line with his drums. I was contemplating hittin’ the deck!😂

Enjoyed listening to this! I always wondered about the in ear monitors for drummers and what that would be like. My bands never made enough money for them, so we either suffered through incredible decibels or suffered with not hearing anything with ear plugs.Would’ve loved to have had them for hearing protection, but how they’d work for drummers seemed like it’d feel very strange. I’ve noticed that snare tone, it’s beautiful. So cool to learn that it’s his baby!
