Danny Carey

Danny Carey is the drummer for the progressive metal band Tool who formed in 1989. He has numerous side projects, including past work in Green Jello[?], and his current electronica-oriented project ZAUM. In search of new techniques, Carey has studied tabla[?] with Aloke Dutta[?]. He also has an interest in the occult, and performs with geometric symbols on his drums. Carey's popularity among drummers and non-drummers stems from the diversity of his sound; his drum kit contains nearly thirty pieces, one of the largest drum kits in modern music.
