Daniel Fang - Turnstile - Tour Kit Rundown 

I met Daniel in 2005 at a summer camp, I was supposed to be the drum teacher but he was already killing it aged 15. Super cool dude too. So stoked to see he’s made it (No thanks to me of course 😂)

I'm so happy Dan gets to play all this stuff, very well deserved for sure. One of a kind drummer and a beautiful person

Daniel is the nicest guy! He talked about drums with my 14-year-old nephew backstage and was genuinely a good dude. I love Turnstile and what they're doing.

damn you can tell this guy loves drumming. must be cool to have a job you’re that passionate about. he’s also damn good.

Amazing band. Each member incredibly talented and they all complement each other into an awesome whole producing great tunes. Best band I have heard in the last ten years!

Daniel seems like such a good person. So sweet! Helluva drummer too.

Having a world class drummer, so humble and down to earth will make or break a band. Turnstile is blessed with two such drummers and their collaborative energy, along with the rest of the band is what makes them so unique in my opinion. I'm an old school punk/hardcore/reggae soul that discovered Turnstile the summer of 2001 and got to see them live in Los Angeles in Feb 2022, which was one of Brady's last show and they absolutely blew my mind! Dan's drumming has that DC go go feel at times, especially when he incorporates the cowbells and I love the extended feedback between songs and interludes, totally brings Fugazi vibes to mind. Brady's riffs and sense of space was akin to Dr. Know. These guys absolute kill it live and looking forward to seeing them at The Warfield in San Francisco in March!

The drums sounded so incredible at this show.

Dude seems like the most chill and happy person, love watching him play.

My fav drummer rn. Mixture of punk hardcore drumming with melodic parts and sprinkles of other genres here and there. Love it!

From time to time Dan responds to my random DMs on IG lol he’s an awesome dude. Keep it up brother

This guy has opened my mind as a drummer, and for that I thank you Daniel! Til next time.

one of the best drummers out there right now! D-Fang is a BEAST! 🔥🔥🔥

I mean come on. Are these guys Not the nicest guys in the world? Ultra talented and all down to Earth. I love em all.

Great timing, great musicianship, great personality! The guy has it!

I really think Daniel and his really creative drummer are the ones that give Turnstile that spice that makes them different from the rest. I admire him as a drummer so much. PS: of course the rest of the band kills it too 😂

I am SO excited and appreciative of young musicians who are energetic, appreciative of "classic" genre, and move forward musically all at once. BIG FAN.

I got to watch him record some of the album A.D. with Angel Du$t while we were using the same studio space - it completely changed the way I felt about drummers and drum parts in general. A true master of the craft.

so cool how much detail he goes into, favorite drummer rn

WE LOVE YOU DAN FANG

Daniel inspires me like crazy ❤

"So you're a drummer too?" (Obviously unaware of Trapped Under Ice) ".....Yeah it's probably my first instrument. Drums are great!"

Really enjoyed this guys, thanks! Daniel has become one of my favourite drummers and Turnstile one of my favourite bands so this was a great insight!

Daniel is such a nice guy. Just amazing dude all around.

Daniel is such an underrates drummer, that mix of pads and the acoustic drums is so cool and so modern (lol) real interesting to see all the details that make his kit, and coming from me that i play guitar lmao

beep boop KING!

We play the same cymbal set up. I used to have a Ludwig classic as well but I build my own drums now out of Keller shells, bearing edges everything... and a 14x8 Black Beauty snare.

So sick. Dan shreds. Sam also fucking kills it. Hardest hitter ever when I saw him play for Trash Talk for a while.

D FANG!!! The best dude.

He's an awesome musician 🙌 ✨️

One of my favorite drummer

Amazing

Great drummer and band!!

22:10 if turnstile needs a cowbell tree you better get them a cowbell tree

So sick

Sam is such a great drummer. Loved him in Trash Talk. So glad to see him in the mix w/ TS

Love Dan!

22:58 "So you're a drummer too" I mean he was/is only the drummer for the famous hardcore band called Trapped Under Ice.

So sick!!!! Aaaaaghhhh ❤‍🔥

Love that Roland SPD-SX! I was able to use it in a similar way for my Tribute to RUSH Drum Cover Project. Neil used those e-sounds in such a creative way. Especially in The Big Money and Time Stand Still. Also some cool sounds in Animate and The Pass. Cool video here!

underrated drummer.

Before watching: I love that they throw Go-Go into punk!

orlando show was so sick

He did the beep boops! NahissaHOLIDAAAY!

Daniel is a beast

d fang the goat

look at DANIEL so handsome

Oh shit Sam is his drum tech

This is sick

What most people don’t realize is the kit the guys use touring is not the kit that they use recording

Imagine if zildjian k's didnt translate well to rock drumming. Got dang best cymbals ever

I don't know if anybody's noticed but Turnstile's song Holiday is totally in the new Taco Bell commercial! Looking at his kit, I would've never guessed he played such big cymbals. I also think it's cool that he doesn't play double bass and sticks with the single bass drum configuration while playing hardcore music.

beast

Damn, I want the Ludwig universal brass so bad. I didn’t he played one

nice idea for pedal

🙌🙌

Do people not know that Brendan was/is the drummer of Trapped Under Ice?

“Old band Angel Du$t” wait he’s not in AD anymore!? 😢 damn… but such a good insightful video

I don't think I know anyone else who would bring a K Con to this kind of gig

Can't go wrong with a 22x14 or even a 22x12. Awesome sounding kick drums.

@Theresinators drummer has basically the same set up. 👌🏼

which vic firth sticks does he use? At first I thought they were "extreme", but I noticed they are labeled differently that he is holding here in the video are they signature sticks? does anyone know more about this? sorry for my bad english I'm from Germany and I'm still learning.

if you combine all the power of every famous drummer on the hardcore scene into one and added in eloy casagrande for extra "Fuck you, I'll play as hard as I like" factor, you get daniel fang.

Where Brady at?

14:36 😆🔥

Snare is 14x6,5? Thanks

12:06 😎

anyone know where i could possibly find any videos of franz drumming?

💗💖💛

WHEN IS THE JIMMY CHAMBERLAIN KIT TOUR WHICH HAS BEEN PROMISED FOR OVER A MONTH

Daniel looks like he’d be pat smears son

Hope to see a tour kit rundown of Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), thanks

13:04

Dien the baby face 😂

he plays very close to the snare. odd

Hi I’m a random Sam….. nooo Sam from fucking trash talk, bro did his time

I love this kids passion sooo much for the pocket. He needs a better drum kit for his style however.

zildjian cymbals - the idiots choice

japp

Daniel is such an underrates drummer, that mix of pads and the acoustic drums is so cool and so modern (lol) real interesting to see all the details that make his kit, and coming from me that i play guitar lmao
