VF Artist Spotlight: Danny Carey (TOOL) Drumcam CUTs

TOOL | DANNY CAREY

[bearatts]

I remember a Rob zombie interview a long time ago when he said, "why should the fucking drummer get paid as much as the frontman." Danny Carey shows why. Hands down the best living drummer on the planet.

I wish there were more Danny Carey drum cam videos. The man is just awesome to watch.

At 5:43 when Danny looks over at Justin and then gives that smile, that's when you know that this band is doing something right.

Like doesn't even come close to describing the emotion this invokes in me. I was fortunate enough to see Tool in Daytona Beach, FL way back when Lateralus came out. As a drummer, let me tell you ladies and gents, there was no need for mind altering substances that night. Seeing one of my all time favorite bands play, for two hours straight, one song into the next with Danny front and center on stage, was enough to put me on another plane of existence. And that, my friends, is what it's all about!

[davidmiller]

how in the fuck do you get the worlds greatest drummer one of the greatest bass players of all time one of the most creative guitarist of all time and a vocalist who can send chills down your spine in one band its really not fair. all of them have emotion in their playing   the stars aligned and formed TooL that's the only explanation

As a child of the 70's I idolised (in no particular order) Keith Moon, John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell, Michael Shrieve, Ian Paice, Don Brewer, Cozy Powell, Mitch Peart, Carl Palmer, etc. Danny fits right in there. Mesmerising to watch ('how did he do that??!!) and beautiful to listen to.

5:43 i love it when danny and justin look at each other like: "hell yeah.."

[webeechamin]

I bet being a tech for these guys would be awesome. They're so down to earth an non egotistical.

[mikemurphy]

Hats off to Danny for showing you can play the toms for more than just fills

[mohammadjaludi]

Truly amazing. How they take random sound and create hypnotic music. Greatest group ever past and present. No band can ever get to their level.

[ThereIsOnlyOne]

My main influence in my drum playing. Along with being born in Paola, KS, he graduated high school with my uncle. Hoping Danny will be at the next HS reunion so that I may have the chance to meet him. He is the man and TOOL is the band!

[Barkeroni]

the 10 dislikes are from 10 dudes drumming on their keyboard and accidentally hitting the thumbs down

[stephenhartleygm]

Ok people. There's no denying the contribution Tool has provided to thee song book. Tool consists of 3 musicians and a lyrist/vocalist. They are considered masters in rhythm changes, sequences, and time signatures. Their approach to writing music is very unique: the note is secondary to thee number. It's about the arithmetic. Now, if you deny how difficult this approach is, all you need to do is get the opinion of their peers. Difficult to cover and near impossible to replicate their sound. The band doesn't need solos, for someone to take the lead, but they are a tight band, complimenting the other - feeding off the other. This prog band's use of polyrhythm (tribal) is so different than anything you will hear from other bands in the genre. What a typical band would use as a fill, this band will build a song on top of that. Rosetta Stoned, Tics and Leaches are examples of that. They are an experience.

[MemoryLaneCinema]

5:44 got to love that. Justin looks at Danny and Danny is like: "Listen to this". And they both smile while the double bass kicks ass.

[bak_]

Best drummer I've ever heard. Seen tool 3 times and danny is something special to watch live. His brain operates at a different frequency than every other drummer it seems

[austinmarek]

My drunk friend saw me watching this and said "Oh she's hot!"
