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!
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!
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 ❤
It’s gratifying listening to someone talk w/so much love & joy for what they do & the tools they do it with. If you love what you’re doing it’s never work.
I absolutely appreciate the fact that Danny took the time to introduce and give credit to his tech. There are so many people working together every night to make a show happen, and it's nice to see Danny recognizes that teamwork.
Danny, you are awesome…I learned a lot just listening to you. Age of Machine is one of my faves so it’s cool to hear you switch out for that song. I love the bottle opener. Yes, please sing.
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!
HAHA the last clip has me dead. Thanks Danny for showing us around.. I was always curious about your set honestly. I’ll never say no to 20 minutes of Daniel 💞
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!😂
My daughter & I met Danny in person in Asbury Park. He’s only a yr older than her. lol. Very, very kind & truly talented. GVF will make it into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Long live rock!
I respect the fact that even though he's in a huge band, he's playing orphan drums/roto toms/old Ludwig timbales because he likes the way they sound. Drum geeks unite!
This is really cool. I feel like people might not guess how much goes into the drums too! Danny is a talent. We’ve heard the nerd stuff about their guitars & bass so it was about time we got to hear Danny nerd out about the drum gear
I saw them at Bourbon and Beyond last year-not knowing anything about Daniel as a drummer-just knew about GVF..He was awesome!!! Great show!! Really cool to see his drum kit and have him tell about it..
The nicest, most personable, most genuine rock drummer…threw one of those sticks high up at Beale Street with the biggest smile. It hit me in the mouth, dropped to the ground and the guy in front of me got it. I appreciated the experience just the same. Love to you, Danny and best of luck on the SC tour. ✨
Thank you so much for this interview. I just can’t get enough of Danny. He is quieter than those crazy Kiska boys. So interviews often don’t show much of him.
Lot of people think you need an expensive kit to play live . It's just not true . Nice to know I am not the only one frankinstin their drum kits it's a lot of fun doing itv
Not really a greta van fleet fan (not NOT a fan either) not even a drummer (guitar player) but familiar with lots of rig run downs and this was S tier, covered all the bases down to monitoring. Guy is as down to earth as it gets and you can tell he loves his craft.
Enjoyed this very much. I'm also OBSESSED with buying drum off of Reverb, I completely feel you there! The kit is awesome and so personalized which RULES. The bottle opener is a great addition. Congrats on your success and best wishes for the future.
Not a big Greta Van Fleet fan, but I can certainly appreciate his love for that kit and his passion for knowledge about the instrument, especially the snare. Wow, that’s a great sounding drum!
Love the Speed King! I have never been able to dial in a pedal the way my early 80's Speed King performed - DW 5000, Pearl's , and currently Tama Iron Cobra's - all great pedals, but I miss my Speed King's!
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!

He said he would never think of golf when he was playing music, but would always think of music when he was playing golf.
i’m not a drummer so idk what he’s really saying but god do i love him and how passionate he is talking about his drums and his kit. love u danny boy
He saying “ I want to be John bonham. And I copied everything he ever has done”
@@austi16you keep commenting on this video, you’re soooooo mad lmao
@@jordansloan2740 yes comparing him to the greatest drummer of all time makes me soooo angry. Dumbass
Great sounds! What a humble guy Danny Wagner is.
Ya cute 2
I love this guy he’s so articulate and down to earth, which is a huge change from many other Rockstars
Id. Love. To. Meet. Danny. If. Any. One. Has. Met. Danny. Let. Me. Know. I'd. Like. To. Know. What. He. Is. Like

I could listen to him talk all day. The kit is incredible!

I love how chill and humble this guy is. A true drum nerd in the best way.
as a drummer, i've been waiting for a kit tour of danny's for so long, thank you!
Gotta love someone that likes to find a way to re use old equipment and give it new life!
HAHA the last clip has me dead. Thanks Danny for showing us around.. I was always curious about your set honestly. I’ll never say no to 20 minutes of Daniel 💞
Daniel is just too adorable. I don't even know what half of the stuff he's talking about, it's just so enjoyable to hear him talking.
Exactly what I thought too
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!😂
Wow what a great guy,and drummer, and giving great props to his tech, rock on!
I know absolutely nothing about drums but I watched the whole thing just for Danny
Very cool. Seems like a humble kid. Love his playing.
My daughter & I met Danny in person in Asbury Park. He’s only a yr older than her. lol. Very, very kind & truly talented. GVF will make it into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Long live rock!

Fascinating
I love it when musicians geek out about their gear
i love this man more than life itself
This is really cool. I feel like people might not guess how much goes into the drums too! Danny is a talent. We’ve heard the nerd stuff about their guitars & bass so it was about time we got to hear Danny nerd out about the drum gear
Pretty cool sounding kit, but that 402 really does it for me. What a killer sounding snare.
idk what he’s saying but my god does it sound good
I love the little fan mounted on the crash stand.
daniel is such a gem of a human 🤍
Saw the show in Arizona, I was blown away! And what a sweet guy, great interview.
I love this band so much and love the passion they have for their art!
Danny is such a sweetheart 💕
Thank you Danny for your time and sharing your kit! Reverb!
Love hearing him tell us about his kit!! You're an amazing drummer, Danny!! Can't wait for the Starcatcher release and tour!! Keep hitting HARD!!!
I could just watch and listen to Danny for hours ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
The beer bottle opener on the floor tom!!!
He's a really sweet dude. Love his energy. Decent drummer aswell.
I saw them at Bourbon and Beyond last year-not knowing anything about Daniel as a drummer-just knew about GVF..He was awesome!!! Great show!! Really cool to see his drum kit and have him tell about it..
Danny Wagner what a guy! 💞 This was a great video, very insightful and cool.
Wow! A Speedking!!! That takes me back. Thanks Danny
super informative...very nice guy!

For someone who learned to play the drums for this band, he sure can play!
He's a good guitarist too.
@@VerMainer think he wrote the basics for Broken Bells before Jake took over and made it what it is?
@@callumfriend2523 Yes, he writes a ton of their songs, or beginnings anyway, and the melodies as well.
@@callumfriend2523 Naw, it's always a collaboration between these guys. That's what I love about them.
I waited years for this video, omg!
Thank you so much for this interview. I just can’t get enough of Danny. He is quieter than those crazy Kiska boys. So interviews often don’t show much of him.
Love the white kit. It reminds me of Michael Derosier's white Ludwigs in the 70s when he added the North Drums toms.
Don't forget Angel's Barry Brant. White Ludwigs with North drums.
I've been waiting for this kit rundown 🤩
i love him i love him i love him
Great to see Daniel getting love from Modern Drummer! He deserves it 🤘🏻
Lot of people think you need an expensive kit to play live . It's just not true . Nice to know I am not the only one frankinstin their drum kits it's a lot of fun doing itv
I didn’t even realize this vid was 20 minutes long till I was 17 minutes in bc it felt like 5 min😭😭
Danny has a creative and beautiful kit and he looks amazing too! Very authentic 🔥
You seem like a very humble and genuine solid guy, keep having fun playing those tubs.
I love you Danny!
Not really a greta van fleet fan (not NOT a fan either) not even a drummer (guitar player) but familiar with lots of rig run downs and this was S tier, covered all the bases down to monitoring. Guy is as down to earth as it gets and you can tell he loves his craft.
i love him so much omg
Very interesting! Up close and personal!
Old guy here. Love the Roto Toms!!! Always had the in my kit. Great sound
Great interview . Great job Daniel. Rock on!
Thank you for sharing love your drum playing .you guys rock. Love your kit. Paiste rule.
Ear protection is so important! So glad they are using them now
Nice Drum kit.
Never really listened to GVF,as a drummer myself,love his Frankenstein drums set.Very humble,dwn 2 earth guy.Thanks for sharing your rig rundown 🤘
I enjoy his passion about his gear. I can relate.
Love ya Daniel you are doing awesome and looking amazing as always
*THAT HAIR IS SO FULL OF MAGIC*
Enjoyed this very much. I'm also OBSESSED with buying drum off of Reverb, I completely feel you there! The kit is awesome and so personalized which RULES. The bottle opener is a great addition. Congrats on your success and best wishes for the future.
The bottle opener is pretty cool
being a fan and realising i’ve been using the same sticks this whole time so teeheeheeheehee
Such a cool kit and dude. I love these kit rundown videos.
i have been wanting something like this for ages, love it. Please do another one with Danny sometime in future
Not a big Greta Van Fleet fan, but I can certainly appreciate his love for that kit and his passion for knowledge about the instrument, especially the snare. Wow, that’s a great sounding drum!
Awesome drummer.
How cool. An old set of concert kit. I used them for years. I’m not really sure why I stopped but I’m going back to them a bit.
Love the Speed King! I have never been able to dial in a pedal the way my early 80's Speed King performed - DW 5000, Pearl's , and currently Tama Iron Cobra's - all great pedals, but I miss my Speed King's!
Toms sound fuggin great
Very cool Dude..great attitude.Thanks for the Video.
great video. talking about pedals. I still have my old vintage eary 80´s Tama pedal with leather strap. works all the time
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Always great to see your analysis.
Love seeing the Speed King
Very cool. He just picks up a used kit off Reverb. Awesome.
I needed this video! As if I didn’t already appreciate Danny, hearing this solidified it. Thank you modern drummer!
Big Dave fan
I'm not arguing with a man with brown eyes. Whatever you say beautiful.
Time to find myself a great LM402, holy crap that snare sounds incredible!
Great to see young Drummers explore and find their way! -CeeHimself
Lovein the kit Danny! Also love Vic Firth Sticks! He was a Maineah! At 56 I’ve seen a lot of drummers, and you got the groove bud! You go
Great interview.. best of luck to you 😎👍
FINALLY DANNY
I was waiting so long for this. So interesting!
Love this
What a rad dude. Love that’s he’s a gear head and all over reverb like the rest of us drum junkies. Still blows my mind he rocks the speed king 🤯
Bass drum pedal, you mean?
Yes,the kick drum pedal.
The REVISED SpeedKing pedal is a lot more trouble-free.
I could never get used to those pedals..cant believe what Bonham did with them
Danny. Rad. Hell. No. His. Voice. Makes. Me. Wanna vomit. His. Looks. Same
His. Smile. Makes. Me. W Anna. Yack
That bottle opener on the floor tom is a genius move!
Awesome! My buddy and I like buying used gear and fixing it up also. So much fun!🥁

We love Danny!!!!!
Good job drumming my son ! Seen GVF in N.O. a couple years ago ! Good stuff right there !
BEAST!
I know there was a hole article in American sound and lighting about Gretas Dreams in gold Stage setup, but id love a full video tour of it.
Great vid, really enjoyed it. Top bloke too .. cheers 😃👍
