It kinda follows that he might take up at the rear of the band. It reflects how the band write songs.

[@SethKBaldwin]

Saw them recently, and it was the normal band setup completely inverted. Drums on a pedestal center stage flanked by the guitarists on either side and Maynard slinking around in the background. Danny is really the star of the show. That said, they really do play _together_ and their songs pass the motif between all four members.

He's from Kansas. His thing is wearing a basketball jersey relevant to every concert location. He has a shitload of them.

De Soto, to be exact. I recently worked with a guy who is friends with his dad and frequents his golf shop. He’s got a platinum record framed on the wall.

[@heidisoucy4780]

I was at this show and I feel like the crowd had a collective religious experience during this song. It was incredible.

[@GKPhoto4]

Hes also a big Basketball fan, his jersey collection is insane

[@alison5009]

He really does. I love it! Once he wore my school’s jersey since we don’t have basketball in St. L

[@juletaurus]

This is the best reaction I've seen yet. I've seen many a man fall in love with Danny Carey, this was great.

[@billmedic1995]

It’s super cool....during the “polymeric” middle section, Danny is busy doing his Swiss triplets, which then transform into double hits with both hands. In the midst of all of that, the band is playing a simple 4/4 time... all the while, you’ll notice that Danny is keeping the hi hat going at the same 4/4 the band is playing while he is doing his 3/4 triplet progression with his arms. Amazing the way he can separate his brain like that.

[@BurnedRemains]

It's actually unbelievably easy once you develop that mental separation capability. For me it was an almost immediate transition from semi-compentent to ultra instinct. It's like a trance where the brain disconnects and stops thinking and you just do.

The cauldron reference was correct: Danny is a wizard and the band is magic. Welcome to Tool.

When you first see Danny play the only way to explain it is magic.

[@JoeYo77]

We call Danny an octopus 🐙. I’ve seen Tool 5 times and it had a profound impact on my life but hey man you finding them late is better than never. I wish I had musical talent instead of athletic or you can have both done how like them. Too much talent for one human is what they all have.

Danny Carey is arguably the best living rock drummer now that Neil Peart has left us, RIP.

[@currencyaudio]

I wish we'd stop using superlatives when describing art. (I know you said 'arguably' but still)

[@hoosierfan4life836]

There is no doubt. So much power, and within that band he can do anything he wants, as this video shows.

[@richcapo]

Carey takes what Peart started into the stratosphere. Peart hit his innovation peak on Hold Your Fire, then mostly fell into a rock-rut that, drum solos aside, saw him play the same stuff over and over again with diminishing technical demand. Carey, though? He goes far beyond any of the polyrhythmic, independence, odd time, and speed experimentations that Peart ever undertook in his songs. Plus, he’s always innovating. He never repeats parts in his songs, unlike Peart, who played that La Villa Strangiato ride pattern a million times over and repeated a ton of other parts in his tracks following Hemispheres.

[@richcapo]

snareHead1130, so if you were comparing, say, Fiona Apple’s vocal abilities to Britney Spears’ vocal abilities, words like “superior,” “better,” and “preferable” wouldn’t come up?

Welcome to the world of Tool led by the master Maynard and the drumming wizard Danny. I love watching him drum. I've been a fan since the day I saw Sober on 120 minutes decades ago. Absolutely incredible band. Still putting out awesome material.

[@el-violador]

Now I'm not a musician but what i love about Danny Carey is his restraint. You get the impression that if he ever went at full noise that the universe would just tear in half

[@wackyruss]

FULL NOISE!!! That’s the official musical term!!! ;) Forget TRIPLE FORTISSIMO!!! :)

Their reaction was priceless and proves the point that good music transcends all boundaries and genres. Shit, its so dammed good seeing first time reactions like these.

I feel like his drumming is taking the concept of being able to pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time and pushing it to it's theoretical limits of human capability

I saw them live at 35 years old and holy fuck was it a trip. If you ever get the chance to see them- GO.,

[@kimirockett5547]

Just seeing your channel the first time today. Tool is from Jerome , Arizona. A tiny tiny old copper mining town just a few miles from the much more popular Sedona, Arizona. Maynard also has his Winery there. All of us here in the Verde Valley love TOOL. I actually rebuilt my car stereo just so Tool would sound cooler in it. When 10,000 days came out back when I just HAD to do it so EVERYONE near my car could hear Tool.

I have to say, hearing Danny's drumming live for the first time ever is one hell of an experience. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING prepares you for that.
