DEFTONES Drummer Talks About Collaboration With Serj |

Sacramento rockers Deftones found their usual five-member troupe augmented for the recording of new album 'SaturdayNightWrist' thanks to the addition of two L.A.-dwelling singers -- System of a Down's Serj Tankian and Giant Drag's Annie Hardy.
Tankian, a longtime Deftones associate, appears on the track 'Mein,' which offers a different kind of vocal performance than fans are used to from the frontman.
"You can tell it's totally him, but it's not way up there, like operatic," Deftones sticksman Abe Cunningham tells AOL Music. "It's smooth. It happened to work out kind of cool. It wasn't a planned thing."
The Hardy collaboration wasn't planned either. As the three years it took to make 'SNW' were winding down, Deftones singer Chino Moreno bumped into the singer while he was in L.A. recording his final vocals.
"It was one of those chance things," Cunningham says. Moreno recruited Hardy to duet on the track 'Pink Cellphone.' "It's a little back-and-forth action between a guy and a girl, and it just adds a really nice change to the record," says the drummer. "I think she's reading out of this old self-help book. It just sounds very cool in contrast to everything else."
