Meeting Danny Carey from TOOL

[@millerbeer01]

You met not only one of the greatest drummers of any point in time, but the OG in super appropriate nice guys on earth. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@MayaNeelakantan]

You are absolutely right! Couldn’t agree more! 😊😃

[@Lateralusaint.]

Exactly

[@theguitargeezer878]

Danny's muliple time signatures while he plays is insane. They dont call him the octopus for no reason.

[@kentbrockman2631]

he has been my inspiration in drumming for 20 years. I am pumped and happy for you, but super jealous all at the same time 😂

[@MayaNeelakantan]

Absolutely right! 😃😊

[@TheHulksMistress]

I'm not a drummer but I get so entranced by his drumming. All of Tool are amazing playing their instruments obviously but yeah, Danny's drumming does something to your heart and soul

[@Omniscient_Omnipotnt_Omniprsnt]

@@TheHulksMistressIMO, it may predicated on certain rhythms which have certain resonating frequencies being that he’s totally privy to that u knw, to out mildly. But I feel ya, for sure 💯. 👊🏼🍻🤘🏼🌀

Amazing Maya. Heard you for the first time on AGT and immediately had to follow tou. Well done young lady. You fooled me there at the start with the classic Indian start and the way you then blended both. Wow. Wow. We are lucky to have you and that god given talent. Cant wait to follow your success.

An idea is forming in my head. I honestly are getting to the conclusion that Carey simply don't own long legged trousers. He's more or less always dressed like he has been working in the garden, or he's about to enter or has just left the gym.

[@nastybadger-tn4kl]

I never heard of this band. Just listened few songs. Not my type. Lyrics is bad. guitar is bad. composition is bad. Only good thing is drums. Probably overhyped by media and some people. We are all different and have different ear , different belief , different mind. For me there is pink floyd and metallica ( mainly 3 songs orion , master of puppets and sandman). As you can see i like clarity in sound. its not easy to create the Vibe of clarity and take you into fantasy. Maya? not talented , may be in future if she compose her own song and write her own song. She need to make her own fusion. Like that Amin Toofani did.
