This month's Rhythm cover is graced by Tool powerhouse Danny Carey. We get the inside word on the rock titan's new album and hear all about Danny's jazz-rock side project Volto!
We also have a nose around the drummer's frankly bonkers kit, talk to his two (yes two) drum techs and hear all about Danny's journey from a six-year-old Ringo Starr fan to the drumming behemoth that we all know today.
