I'm not even a drummer and I'm musically inspired by this guy so much, and the incredible percussion work he has contributed to Last Things and Valley of Smoke.
Being subscribed to Danny I've seen just about every song they play live at this point, but damn this video had some quialty. Always a pleasure to watch, Danny is the fucking bee's nee's.
I was there!! Went to see between the buried and me for the first time and also saw these guys for the first time and they became one of my new favorite bands I listen to them all the time I love it these guys are awesome
IMO, one of the most versatile metal drummers out there. Uphill Battle, Exhumed, Phobia, Intronaut, Murder Construct, Job For a Cowboy, performed once with cephalic carnage (festival in mexico)... This guy is the real deal and I would argue my biggest influence to the approach to the kit right now. Great video \m/
Saw him session with exhumed yrs ago in my hometown Hamilton Ontario in a shithole club we used to play at too = the p.a was crap,the console even worse but they blew the place up with intensity and he floored me -so precise....so precise.
I just got into Intronaut with The Direction of Last Things. I have quickly come to appreciate Danny's work behind the kit. So groovy and tasteful. Keep it up man!!! EDIT: I just bought the album on Amazon. Gonna be blasting this shit in my car for days. ;)
+yoshiheavy Thanks! I got that t-shirt when I was drumming for a band called Bastard Noise. We played a show with Corrupted in Osaka, Japan when we toured there. Also in 2008 Intronaut played a show with Corrupted believe it or not.
Dead crowd is disappointing. I can't even watch an Intronaut video without almost dislocating my neck from headbanging. They guys are killing it here though!
i know this is an old ass comment but i have to ask, have you ever seen them play live? i have seen them and they’re a band you go to watch and listen to, not just listen to if that makes sense. watching them actually play in real life is mesmerizing for lack of a better term, you get glued to the sight. hah
Guys help. The beginning chugs. Clearly the hats are every three triplets and the chugs appear to be every seven. Which would mean that they resolve after four chugs, which it does at first. But it also sounds like it resolves again on the seventh when they change chords. So wtf. Are my ears losing a few counts somewhere?? Or are my ears thinking that the seventh one resolves when it doesnt? I wrote it out and they are one triplet apart at that point
What are all the bands Danny has been in as a recording artist? Im trying to acquire everything hes put out. Already have everything from intronaut, and started uphill battle

+howycwap WOW!! The Red Chord has always been one of my favorite bands, and so uphill battle is really doing it for me!! Cannot wait to check out Sun Eater! Danny takes drumming to its limits holy fk, i love every second of it! and as a super fan of tool and mastodon - Intronaut instantly became my favorite new bands!
Each tour we pick one solid set list. It remains the same the whole tour, so I just write it on my snare drum. I got tired of printing a stack of set lists that just get lost or have beer spilled on them every night.
+Wishmaster At least the intro is a three over seven. You can notate that in which measure you want, but is probably the easiest to comprehend in 7/4 or similar.
+Tachot123 Hmm, that would actually line up in triplet format, for example: 7*3/3 = every 7th triplet. You can just calculate it yourself: a. beats in the measure (in this case 7) b. multiplied by 3 or 4 (or whatever), depending of your preference, c. divided by the amount of beats you want to play in that measure (3 in this case). Just write it on the paper or sequencer program. Hope that helps.
Danny Walker doesnt get the credit he deserves. Im a big fan
Huge fan
Danny is a great drummer on so many levels, criminally underrated imo
I'm not even a drummer and I'm musically inspired by this guy so much, and the incredible percussion work he has contributed to Last Things and Valley of Smoke.
he is the rhythm king
There's something about Danny's playing that I keep coming back to watch. He's so clean with it
great video... we all know this guy can blast like a machine, nice to see more of his creative side...
+602GRIND A very Valid point mate!
That's funny: I've always known and admired him for being such a creative prog drummer, had no clue he played in so many extreme bands too!
I wish I could like this video a million times. Real craftsmen!
Liked it! Nuanced, articulated and thoughtful drumming right here.
more like "the sickest drummer ever!!" this man cannot play something I'm not completely in love with!!
When I saw them live, my eyes were glued to him. He's ridiculous
I appreciate the camera work and audio, really good job on this one!
This guy is fucking awesome. As a guitarist, I can't stop paying attention to his creativity. The guy rocks.
Being subscribed to Danny I've seen just about every song they play live at this point, but damn this video had some quialty. Always a pleasure to watch, Danny is the fucking bee's nee's.
Nice to hear, Burn.
+BurnThePope0514 I'll do my best to keep them coming!
+Danny Walker That's great to hear!
+Danny Walker Please do I just started watching a few and am uber impressed, really growing as a fan
I was there!! Went to see between the buried and me for the first time and also saw these guys for the first time and they became one of my new favorite bands I listen to them all the time I love it these guys are awesome
Those half-note triplets at the beginning. Respect.

Danny is a master
5:05 epic drum part..Danny really rocks!
Awesome shirt on the awesome drummer of an awesome band ! No matter what he's playing, Danny always brings some groove !
This is my album of the year 2015.
same
Incredible.
The emotional twisting groove of mastodon yet the technicalities and odd noting of gorguts... wow
Nice! Been a fan of them and Walker since the "Valley of Smoke" album...
That man is a machine!
all hail the complex time signature king
asesome groove and nice Corrupted shirt!
+yoshiheavy Thanks! I got that t-shirt when I was drumming for a band called Bastard Noise. We played a show with Corrupted in Osaka, Japan when we toured there. Also in 2008 Intronaut played a show with Corrupted believe it or not.
+Danny Walker wow that must be killer show i missed! btw new Intronaut new album is sick! hope you guys are gonna come back here and play man!
Dead crowd is disappointing. I can't even watch an Intronaut video without almost dislocating my neck from headbanging. They guys are killing it here though!

Sick drummer for sure.
Danny is such a beast ! so fun to Watch !
So cool that they do this; cam-up the drums and cut together a sick video like this.
Super nice drum work. Audio and video quality is great on this video as well, nice work Sickdrummer! Man that crowd looks boring though xD
Guys help. The beginning chugs. Clearly the hats are every three triplets and the chugs appear to be every seven. Which would mean that they resolve after four chugs, which it does at first. But it also sounds like it resolves again on the seventh when they change chords. So wtf. Are my ears losing a few counts somewhere?? Or are my ears thinking that the seventh one resolves when it doesnt? I wrote it out and they are one triplet apart at that point
RESOLVED. I am a dumbo and didn't think about the fact that they start out resolved on one. So it resolves every three GOT IT
would love to see "water landing" drum cam
sick!!!
Muy bueno Danny,tremendo tema,terrible banda,me mata el ritmo minuto (m4,15) genial,abrazo!!
Danny, caught the last night of the tour, you guys were sick as always. Love the new shit.
Oh Shit! The show that got me into Intronaut.
New gear? Amazing footage, thanks!
GROOVE
sickdrummermagazine, did you recorded the all show? Can we see it :) ? Please :D
rockin' a corrupted tee?! Danny's legit af
What size sticks does he use? Those single hand rolls on the hihat are insanely impressive.
is that what they really sound like live? the tones are too good
very good drummer

+Danny Walker Awesome, thank you so much! this is gonna take me forever to collect, but I cant wait to hear all your work.
+howycwap WOW!! The Red Chord has always been one of my favorite bands, and so uphill battle is really doing it for me!! Cannot wait to check out Sun Eater! Danny takes drumming to its limits holy fk, i love every second of it!
and as a super fan of tool and mastodon - Intronaut instantly became my favorite new bands!
DUDE! You played Sun Eater?? You are a fucking legend, I loved that album and every Intronaut album.
What model meinl hi -hats is Danny using?
+Andy Johnson 14" M-Series medium hats! Love them!
Great drumming! Is that a Triple Threat head on the snare and Force Ten on the toms?
James Jackson yes! Force tens!
What ride is that? It's awesome!
+Adam Connell It's a 20 inch MB20 "Heavy Bell Ride"
Why the ordinence not moving are they French?
ah yes, 3 vs 7, 4 vs 9, the classic rock'n'roll rhythms
I wonder what he has written on the snare head?
My set list.
Snare head per gig?
+Devin Buchhorn Do you think they're changing the set list every single show?
+Danny Walker Danny, you guys are awesome! Love the new album so much! It's all I've been listening to since it came out.
Each tour we pick one solid set list. It remains the same the whole tour, so I just write it on my snare drum. I got tired of printing a stack of set lists that just get lost or have beer spilled on them every night.
It's like prog..?.. Craw is cool like cought my tell or is it safe.
This vid made me wanna buy meinl cymbals.
what. Now what measure is that? is it 5/4 ?
I'm pretty sure that at 6:18 the measure is 9/4
+Wishmaster At least the intro is a three over seven. You can notate that in which measure you want, but is probably the easiest to comprehend in 7/4 or similar.
+Tachot123 does it have to be in triplets?
You nailed it! That's exactly what it is.
+Tachot123 Hmm, that would actually line up in triplet format, for example: 7*3/3 = every 7th triplet. You can just calculate it yourself:
a. beats in the measure (in this case 7)
b. multiplied by 3 or 4 (or whatever), depending of your preference,
c. divided by the amount of beats you want to play in that measure (3 in this case).
Just write it on the paper or sequencer program. Hope that helps.
For a minute there I thought he hated the snare.
I dunno why but I'm slightly disappointed that they only use six strings.
Interesting groove. I'm not familiar with the band but that was cool as shit!
Great drumming! Is that a Triple Threat head on the snare and Force Ten on the toms?
