Danny Carey is the drummer for the band Tool, and also plays regularly in Los Angeles as part of Volto! and various other acts at the Baked Potato.
Danny is also considered one of the worlds leading drummers, and regularly appears at the pointy end of many Top Drummers lists. For all articles on Danny Carey, use this category!
It would seem that VOLTO! as going to play a show while Danny passes time between tours, this time at the Baked Potato on the 20th of July. For advanced tickets call 818-980-1615, and from what I understand, due to the size of the venue, they do sell out.
The Betterfly was lucky enough to go to the recent Tool show in Finland. As if that wasn’t good enough, Betterfly managed to catch one of Danny‘s drumsticks. Here’s a couple of pics for you all to enjoy!
Blair tells us (I think) that there’s a couple of good shows coming up: Firstly on the 3rd of July, JZ and his Hubcap Corral will be playing at the Baked Potato. Apparently there’ll be a BBQ out the back, and Tool fans are invited. Who knows who will show up. Then, on the 20th of July, Volto! will be playing also at the Baked Potato. No word on whether… Read More »Volto! and JZ
According the the recent CoSM Newsletter I received, Alex Grey will be at the Burning Man festival this year. One of the features of his display will be the Sacred Mirror banners that Tool used on their Lateralus tour. Bastardometer from Toolarmy tells me that Danny will be featured in the new Drum Magazine. The magazine will also feature tabs(?) for Vicarious on drums.
Menkimati from Toolarmy sent me this setlist he picked up from the recent London show. Enjoy! There’s also a coupe of posts on Toolband/Army today from Blair, one outlining Danny’s Synth collection, and another confirming a date in Amsterdam on June 27th. From memory this Amsterdam date has been floating around for a while, though nice to get confirmation.
Blksun on Toolarmy sent me some scans of a recent Tool article in Classic Rock UK magazine. Here’s some links for your enjoyment: https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan1.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan2.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan3.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan4.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan5.jpg I also found a brief interview with Les Claypool, where he talks about his new solo album “Of Whales and Woe”, Primus recording next year and his desire to follow through with the Adrian Belew and Danny Carey project. Hopefully this may… Read More »Article + Les
Steve emailed me today with a couple of bits from a recent Rhythm UK magazine. Steve says “It’s a good interview, typed out a couple excerpts, the article goes on to say that the drum tracks were recorded in a studio normally reserved for movie soundtracks, his new setup, the writing process and his influences.” Is there any song on 10,000 Days that was more interesting or challenging to play… Read More »Danny speaks to Rhythm UK
Blair makes a couple of posts on Toolband/Army to day, the first of which reveals that Tool will be playing at the Olympic Main Stadium in Seoul, Korea on the 15th of August. He also mentions that Danny will be playing with Volto on July the 20th at the Baked Potato in LA.
Looks like Vince De Franco’s Mandala drums are ready for ordering. For you electronic drum fans out there, check out some of the demos on this site. They’re pretty impressive. In case you’ve been hiding in a cave the last few years, these drums have been designed by Frank in conjunction with Danny, and are extensively used on 10,000 Days. Attilla from Toolband Hungary has told me he’s hosting a… Read More »Mandalas, Article Collection
Seems I missed Danny’s birthday – for shame! Have a good one Danny!
