Danny's Interests
|
| General | Although Danny has not officially aligned himself with any particular school of philosophy or religion, he has projected a deep interest in and understanding for the magical arts and sciences, among them various occult teachings. Enochian symbols, geometric designs, and special symbolic percussive devices are featured on and in his drum kit.
[edit]
Geometrical Designs
Danny has laid claim to various drumming techniques that use sacred geometrical 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, with purposes varying from spiritual exploration to "a gateway [which] summoned a daemon he has contained...that has been delivering short parables similar to passages within The Book of Lies."[1] Another geometrical reference from the website was the inclusion of Nothing in This Book is True... by Bob Frissell on the band's recommended reading list, a book that deals with sacred geometry and the evolution of human consciousness.[2] | | Music | meshuggah,a perfect circle,king crimson,metallica,rush,pigmylovecircus,volto | | Television | shit | | Heroes | my daddy |

Danny's Blurbs |
About me:
 Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com Danny's first encounter with the drums began at the age of ten by joining the school band and taking private lessons on the snare drum. Two years later, Danny began to practice on a drum set and began working with a private teacher. His private teacher had a specialty in bongos, henceforth bequeathing bongo skills that Carey uses frequently, as well as skillfully. In his senior year of high school, Danny joined the high school jazz band and began to study under a new teacher specifically for jazz drumming training. As Danny progressed through high school and later college at the University of Missouri - Kansas City, he began expanding his studies in percussion with theory into the principles of geometry, science, and metaphysics as well as delving into Sacred Geometry and certain hidden aspects of life and the occult (hidden). Danny also played jazz while attending college and got to experience the jazz scene in Kansas City.
A major commitment to life as an artist convinced Danny to leave Kansas and travel to Los Angeles, California where he was able to perform as a studio drummer with bands like Carole King and perform live sets with Pigmy Love Circus. He would later find his way to Tool after coming to know singer Maynard James Keenan and guitarist Adam Jones and practicing with them in place of drummers the two had requested but had never shown up. Besides Tool, Danny also finds time for other projects new and old such as Pigmy Love Circus, Volto, and ZAUM. Danny Carey has been widely perceived as one of the most talented and focused percussionists of this generation and beyond.
