Tool drummer Danny Carey makes much of their compilicated music look easy, but even he has a few songs that are hard to do in a set.
Carey’s drum tech Joe Salby asked Carey what is the hardest Tool song to play, and the drummer said, “For endurance, it’s ‘The Grudge’ [from Lateralus]. Because if we’re not in tour shape my hands almost cramp up, because of all the Swiss triplets. It’s just a real physical song overall, there’s some double kick stuff in there.”
Carey then added two songs from the band’s last album, Fear Inoculum. “The trickiest ones might be ‘Invincible’ or ‘7empest.’ The newer ones. Just because I’m not used to it.”
