@@claudiasolomon1123 seriously. I only started learning to play guitar in Dec 2019. But before I ever bought my first guitar, I told myself that "no matter what happens, I won't EVER quit playing. My guitar won't end up in my closet in 3 months. I don't care if it takes me 20 years to learn 1 song. I still won't ever quit." and then I bought that first guitar. It only took learning that first riff and I knew with 100% certainty that I won't be quitting. Ever. It's been about 2.5 years and I've now played every day for the last 18+ months. Every single day. To say I'm addicted is an understatement. At one point, I had a wrist injury starting and I had to stop. Except I couldn't... Because I tried lol.

I thought he was gonna say GOAT and it stopped me for a sec, but of course Genius for sure.

People talk about the time signatures a lot but I think the really unique thing about Carey is that he plays RIFFS. He's a rhythm guitarist on the drums. He'll play a groove and a fill and then the exact same groove and fill but orchestrated differently, the same way guitarists shift the same strumming patterns around different chords. It gives him this fantastic, low-slung, heavy PRESENCE at the back of the stage, which is nuanced and textured but is also an extremely solid, reliable foundation to build a song on. Man's an absolute titan.

I'm a woman in my mid-50s and just started learning drums :-) I wanted to for decades. My first song I'm learning is a very simplified version of Aenima. I figure by the time I'm 80, I'll be able to play it passably well ;-) I LOVE Danny Carey. And my drum teacher is great. I came in and he asked what my goal was and I said, "I want to be Danny Carey." And he showed me he had "Tool" tattooed on his wrist. (I'm not joking.) We are therefore a good fit! Obviously, I can't meet my goal. There is one and only one Danny Carey. But I have beats in my head I've been tapping out for decades, and if I can learn to play some Danny Carey, maybe I'll get good enough to play those beats on some drums. A lot of times, parts of the beats sort of cycle around across the measures, which I'm learning are called "polyrhythms". I want to be able to play those things in my head in real life!

The best thing about Danny’s drumming, is that it’s never, ever, about showing off, but always to lift the music to another level. There are very few drummers out there who will be able to put their foot next to Danny’s, both in terms of technical mastery and creativity. He is on another level, and while he probably knows just how good and unique he is, he comes across as humble and easy going. I’ve seen tool live 6 times now, they are, by a mile, my favorite band and a lot of my appreciation is down to Danny and how he clicks with the other geniuses in the band to create such wonderful music.

Noone writes like Danny Carey, one thing is being able to play the parts, which in itself is impressive, but... Composing his musical drum parts is insane. I spent a long time learning Vicarious, and the amount of little details where a motif is used and then brought back later, modified or combined with another motif. There are so many details, and it's almost fractal, I kept finding new little "oh wow" moments after months with the score for the part. In my opinion he's the greatest composer for drums we've had.

It's a shame Tool gets lumped in with Deftones or some shit. Danny is a god, and I can explain. He creates into being the very foundations of reality. Polyrhythms sped up 10,000 times, or something, becomes a chord. Speed the chord up 10,000 times and it becomes the light visible light spectrum. Different polyrhythms make different chords, which makes different colors. That's the sacred geometry patterns on everything. It's all resonance.

For those of us who wet our pants at the music store in 96 listening to Aenima before we then went up to the till and bought the album, hands trembling; special thanks for singling out the bridge in Eulogy (11:13). I have puzzled over this particular drum mastery for over a quarter century now. Tried it without success countless times. What kind of human comes up with this? So awesome to know there are people out there like Danny Carey that can do things that shouldn't be possible, but they are. We just don't know they are possible until a trailbreaker like this does it.

Did you do it at Blockbuster Music? Lol, this is exactly the same thing I did. I was in HS like sophomore year, thought the packaging of the album looked cool and had heard of tool because I was a rock guy through and through, and I’m pretty sure had heard sober. I finally had my own money at this point from working. I’ve worked since I was like 12 but that was mowing lawns for a few neighbors and shit. Totally off point my bad. Anyway, I took it up and listened to it and my life was changed. I immediately went over and grabbed opiate and undertow and took all 3 to the register lol. It makes me happy to hear someone else had this same experience. I then wouldn’t stfu to all my friends until they at least gave it a shot. Thankfully I realized how annoying I was being then so I chilled out and didn’t become one of the many insufferable tool fans we have now, that are ruining the ability to even bring up tool or say they’re your favorite band. I understand their excitement and all that, I just wish they’d chill man. Everyone isn’t going to agree, and now most people are going into it with a negative attitude before they even hear it. Anyhow, cheers man, we’re like brothers of some sort now. Much love lol

DannyC is not just a drummer, is a percussionist in the general sense. He adds plenty of color to the percussion, the rhythm, the atmosphere of tool’s music. Top notch

Danny's work on Fear Inoculum is something else. The way he plays Pneuma is not human. So happy I got to see him play it live too.

I was wandering for a long time about finding a word to describe this band. After listening carefully to Danny for years and enjoying the band rythmically, it suddenly hit me. This music and this band can be called RELIGIOUS.

Just saw Danny last night at MSG with Tool. I hadn't seen them for at least 15 years and gotta say.. As a bass player.. He's one of the best drummers out there and I found myself watching him more than the other guys. He sounds like he's heavily influenced by King Crimson he's so great!

My study of Danny's playing and how he sets up his drums helped me greatly in preparing for my recital, and his playing has also helped me develop better independence around the kit.

There's a reason that basically all of the most respected drummers on the planet are classically trained Jazz musicians that's what Danny Careys majored in in college Jazz percussion and he plays way more jazz than he does rock. Basically if he's not recording or touring he's hanging out at clubs like The Baked Potato playing Jazz music. And his background with Freestyle jazz is the biggest reason their music is complicated but still almost feels improvisational. They're all great at what they do but for me Danny is the piece that elevates them above and beyond anybody else

I'd love to see a video on Tomas Haake from Meshuggah, one of the greatest metal drummers of all time that Danny and many other top drummers have been known to go watch perform and geek out on his technical mastery. That's saying something, because Danny is a drum God in his own right. Tomas is another drummer who took inspiration from many jazz greats into his own playing style and uses many odd time signatures, poly rhythms and incredible double bass technique that only a few drummers can achieve. I truly enjoy this series and I really think you will do it a great service including Tomas. Cheers!

Danny is a master/Innovator. One of the greatest to ever do it.

Danny Carey is my all time favorite drummer mostly because of what was said at the start of the video: He doesn’t play beats. He plays music. This is key to Tool’s rich, full and impactful sound.

Nobody makes time signature gymnastics groove like Danny. My favorite drummer for nearly 3 decades.

9:53 Wow!! The technicality, the power, the precision... This whole video is amazing really.

Great video. Thanks for all the beat breakdowns & math references.

But what I think is even more genius than his polyrhythms and odd meter grooves is how he's orchestrates them in such a way that they are so musical and don't seem to weird. For example, in Pneuma, I didn't realize there are so many crazy time signature changes.

He channels so many great percussionists in his work but he has truly created such a unique identity and sound that just can’t be replicated, and I believe he is the most talented on the planet.

Just amazing. Makes me feel a little overwhelmed to even try to learn his licks.

Seeing them in October and I can’t wait!

After learning the Rosetta Stoned polyrhythm, I can confirm it is one of the most complex parts of a song I have ever had to learn. The swiss triplet pattern between the toms and the snare drum is wicked fast and easy to lose track of, along with the strange bass and hi-hat pattern in 5/4. Don't underestimate Danny, he's one of the greats.

A couple years ago I got the chance to sit down and meet and talk to Mr. Danny Carey himself he was so kind so humble he taught me so much he showed so many different grooves and taught me how to play some Tool songs. What a great man he is!😇☺️it was a blessing to meet such an amazing man like him!

the number one thing I've learned from 25 years of listening to Tool and Danny Carey is that music can be complex and still be highly listenable. Also, nobody can end a song better than Danny Carey

Amazing job Brandon! Thanks! Must of took you many hours of practice..

The dotted break in Eulogy remains one of my polymetric holy grails. Danny’s “poly” playing is so tasty and effortless…that’s a *huge* part of its impact. If you’re gonna do this stuff, you have to OWN it…and own it, he does…

Yes, of course he's a drum genius. Have you ever tried playing one of Tool's albums from beginning to end? To all my fellow drumers. Check out the song "Ampersand" by Adrian Belew. (Guitarist for King Crimson) Danny Carey plays drums and legendary bassist Les Claypool is, of course, is on bass.. it's so good. And the drums....👌💯

Great video and excellent explanation! I’m just blown away by your ability to learn and teach these masterpieces to us. Thank you!

One of things that wasn’t talked about was the creative way Danny set up the grooves for the different parts in the song in Rosetta Stoned. Blew my mind when I first noticed it. And that poly groove is INSANE. Still trying to wrap my brain around how to play that. Big props to you for figuring it out.

I remember the first time hearing the album Aenima; I was honestly scared that Danny may have been a demon because no human could do what he does and make me feel what I felt. Tool really is something special and otherworldly!

One thing I took away from this video is how in tune with the music you have to be to play polyrhythmic grooves and fills. I just started playing around six months or so ago and I don’t think it would be impossible to play these things, but more of like getting a feel for the pattern throughout your whole body and becoming one with it. It’s easy to stay in time playing 4/4, but in order to mix it up its like you just have to have that feel and ear for it. My whole life I’ve had a great ear for distinguishing different parts of songs, rhythms, and patterns, so I hope to become an exceptional drummer. Thanks for the content. Been getting in as much as I can when I can.
