I've heard from several people that Danny is one of the most friendly people in the music business. Everyone I know from the industry that's met him says he's incredibly humble and has no problem talking to fans for extended periods of time. Makes me like him even more.

[@nuberiffic]

[@anotherDnightmare]

Was just talking to a friend of mine about the last 10 years of my life. Married. Divorced. Son diagnosed with cancer. 2 year battle that he won. Moved from PA to CO and VA. Back to PA. Recorded multiple albums for artists. Stopped playing drums. Started playing drums again. Celebrated my 31st and 41st birthdays. Still no Tool album. Haha!! What a ride.

[@kustomhooligans]

10,000 Days was released April 28, 2006. Looks like it'll be another 10,000 days before the next Tool album! We're almost 40% of the way there now!

[@anotherDnightmare]

***** thanks for the kind words. Yes, my son (now 21) is amazing. Definitely my hero. I'm from the Pittsburgh area. Audio engineer? Not really. I worked in a recording studio in Colorado as a session drummer and did a little bit of engineering but it was more of the placing mics and the outboard stuff. Never really had my hands on the desk. My Dad has his own studio here and we record stuff for friends and our own projects but it's not really a public studio per se. How's the music scene where you are?

[@anotherDnightmare]

If you're looking for sessions, you may be able to find a smaller studio closer. Sometimes hard to find but they're out there. Because in this day and age, you really don't need to live in one of the Big 4 cities. You can record the parts and send them to whatever studio. When I was in Colorado, the studio I worked for did tracks for an artist but she wanted it mixed and mastered in Dallas. So we did basically what was a 4 song EP and sent everything in an email. Crazy. Because then, you get home a little easier and get to spend time with your son. And believe me... that time goes like lightning. I swear mine was just 5 years old and now he's 21. Best of luck!

[@RobertMaxwellMediaCorp]

3:58 "Once we're in the studio, I usually knock out all my stuff in like 1 or 2 years. And Justin will probably take like 3 years maybe on his bass parts because he uses a lot of different sounds and things. Then Adam might take 4 or 5 years because he does a lot of double tracking, lot of crazy textural stuff. Then we might spend another year or two doing some little percussion overdubs, some synthesizer stuff. The tracking part, I'd say like another 2 to 3 years, then another year to mix and master, and that's it!"

[@educostanzo]

So according to his math, 1 week + 2 weeks + 2 months + 2 weeks + 3 months + 1 month = about.... over 12 years.

"The" greatest drummer of all time

[@rastabg23]

No question.

[@DesperationmixtapeOrg]

rastabg23 There are plenty of good drummers around today. Carey is just one of them. I think his parts are great with tool (for example he has a great taste and doesn't over play with tons of fills). I think his playing is not strong enough with Volto (cause I have in mind all fusion drummers alive today), but that I think is a fun project for him, trying to emulate all those 70's style he loves so much.

[@fanta116]

desperation mixtape if best or not is a subjective meaning.I think he's the best drummer in the modern age of metal and rock music.But I also admire stewart coopeland for his awesome drumming.

[@DesperationmixtapeOrg]

yeah. I think the same: the best as "I like him better than this one" is subjective. But since I've studied drums I endlessly listened to a few drummers out there. Certainly I like him more than portnoy (but this is a no-brainer ahah). My judgement was more about his technique and the style. He plays a lot of good stuff in this video but as you can see they put up the tool stuff and no solos or original stuff as for the other videos in the series from vic firth.

[@fanta116]

I know what you mean.But its really strange to know that here from wikipedia ''Carey has laid claim to various drumming techniques that use sacred geometric figures such as the unicursal hexagram. The final product is very recognizable, fluent drumming, although to him it is much more: the official Tool website claims that Danny uses drumming as a ritual similar to occult rituals''So I think its a really crazy technique to play drums.Portnoy is a brilliant drummer too,but i don't like dream theater,its just not my taste of music.

MLD i think the lawsuit doesn't apply to their being late. they said to have completed just one song. the lawsuit is back as 2006 and I can't see why is taking them time out of their schedule(lawyers should do the work).

That's because Maynard leaves them all to their own to do all the instrumental stuff. They then send him the finished records and he writes the lyrics and the vocal melody on his own. His contribution has always been the last to their work. I recomend you check out this podcast Danny did a couple of days before the latest album's release. He went more in-depth how their process works and it boiled down to it that once they were finally done after years of working on their respective instruments and melodys they all sent Maynard the tapes with "Finished" written on it so he could finally get his stuff on it and the record be completed.

They create the songs, and then Maynard listens to everything and comes in with his parts to complement the rest of the sound.

can anyone get the drum cam footage of this entire set?

[@pottery27]

I'm 56 and have been to a shitload of concerts. I saw TOOL a few years ago, broke my leg that day but went anyway. Ended up in a killer seat, no one to fuck with me, just me and TOOL. Danny gave me the only drum solo I've ever really enjoyed. I usually take a piss, but not this time. I spent the time trying to pull my jaw off the floor I was so amazed. As a 46 year musician I appreciate a band that can pull off their shit live and this was the case. like a giant set of headphones! Truly amazing.

I thought he had 4 arms ?

[@TheBensmith5]

The thing is always amazes me with him is not just that he's so skilled but that he makes it look so effortless

[@VICARI0S]

Wait, so did he learn how to drum when he met Tool? Or was he already a drummer before?

[@MrDash03]

He was already a drummer before then. He even played for Carole King.

[@andrewgriner1340]

He was born and raised in the small town of Paola, KS where I now live. He began playing drums as a kid.

[@briantripoli5348]

He drummed for Green Jell-O "little pig little pig let me in"

[@briantripoli5348]

They changed name to Green Jelly read mjk auto biography I enjoyed it opened my eyes to slot of things I never thought about.

He was a monster in college. His technique has always been flawless. That's when it all started coming together. He got exposed to all kinds of heavyweights. I remember sitting with him at a Simon Phillips clinic and PASIC in 83 and watching the arrows Simon was shooting strike home with Danny. That and King Crimson Discipline. That also hugely affected him.

Danny has a beautiful mind....and then he blends his creative genius with Justin, Adam and Maynard....OMG...their albums are WORTH the wait!

"I usually knock out all my stuff in like 6 or 7 days at the most...." DA FUQ?!

[@DestroyAllorNothing]

it's amazing how right hand dominate Danny is and still pulls off complicated stuff, my fav of my lifetime.

[@Hypersophisication]

Danny Carey looks like a long-haired not so fucked up Sylvester Stallone.

[@scotmarq]
