Tool’s Danny Carey returning to ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ to play drums with house band

Tool drummer Danny Carey will be bringing polyrhythms and odd time signatures to late night TV later this month.

Carey will appear on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers from January 23 to January 26 as the guest drummer in the show’s house 8G Band. He previously manned the kit for the Fred Armisen-led group in 2016.

Late Night often recruits drummers from the rock and metal worlds to sit in with the 8G Band, including Pearl Jam‘s Matt Cameron, Mastodon‘s Brann Dailor and The Black Keys‘ Patrick Carney.

Additionally, The Strokes‘ Fab Moretti will play drums with the 8G Band from January 9 to January 12.

You can tune in to Late Night weekdays at 12:35 a.m. ET/11:35 p.m. CT on NBC.

Tool, meanwhile, was recently announced as a headliner for the 2023 Welcome to Rockville festival, taking place May 18-21 in Daytona Beach, Florida. The bill also includes Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold and the reformed Pantera.
