Danny Carey

Tool · Odd meters, polyrhythmic independence, and a hypnotic, orchestrated kit.

Carey builds vast, meditative grooves out of odd meters, tabla-influenced hand technique, and polyrhythmic ostinatos across a huge, orchestrated kit, turning mathematics into something hypnotic.

  • Fluent playing in odd meters and shifting time signatures
  • Independent ostinato limbs layered into polyrhythms
  • A huge, orchestrated kit used for texture as much as rhythm

Rhythm is the skeleton of the music. I just try to make the skeleton dance.
