Tool Newsletter April 2011

Blair released the April 2011 newsletter on Toolband/Army, and it looks like this month is a return to form of sorts.

Danny in Drum Scene, More Tool Collectables

According to Milhuisen, Danny will appear in Issue 64 of DRUMscene, apparently Australia’s #1 Drum Magazine.  As well as a “huge” interview, it will feature a poster. I might head over to the newsagent in the morning and see if I can grab a copy.
