Drummerduba is hereby given a yellow card and warned for sharing WAY too much information. Penalty kick awarded.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....oh dear...
But i think anyone would be in my position if they even had the thought of Carey and Haake going at it in a Drum Battle.

Danny Carey is a really good drummer, but I don't think he can match with Tomas Haake in terms of time signatures and overall flow. Danny has power in his playing with Tool and everything, but Tomas flows over his kit, and makes difficult time signatures look easy. Check out 'New Millennium Cyanide Christ', or 'Bleed' by Meshuggah. The bassdrum part for 'Bleed' is torturous to play.
I'm not bashing Danny Carey at all, I think he's a good drummer, I just think that Tomas Haake is a more technical player.

What Carey represents to me is how far someone can take progressive rock drumming. (Yes/King Crimson/ELP type playing) without going over the edge in complexity or technicality.
He has a Bill Bruford style of moving around his kit, but more of a Carl Palmer sense of experimentation with sound.
The emotion and feel of his playing, to me, comes from the fact that his beats are complex and intricate and can be in 13/8 without feeling choppy. He flows very well with irregular signatures, just like Bill Bruford.

I met Danny Carey a few years back when he was touring through South Carolina. I gave him a few cymbals, prototypes, that I worked on to get his opinion. He was openly enthusiastic about reviewing something different. He even used one of the bells for rest of the Tool tour and I caught a picture of him still using it with Pigmy Love Circus.
He was a very personable and friendly person.
He let me play his Paiste drum kit before the show in the big arena. It was a great experience. He gave me passes to the show and party passes. He played an awesome show and then I met him backstage. He was very warm to everyone at his party and very friendly to me. He was very approachable, down to earth, respectable and actually humble.
I have met a lot of the top drummers and Danny Carey is numero uno when it comes to being a great guy.

Even back when I was 100% focused on my school jazz band, working with combos, and pretty much playing just jazz, I idolized Carey. Out in LA I met him before a VOLTO gig. You're right; he's a really good guy.

of the topic of him being a great guy, he is very unorthodox. His drums are made of Paiste metal, and he bases his drumming on the Unicursal Hexagram (which is the symbol Alleister Crowley based his rituals on). This is not bashing him, his drumming is so amazing I can barely figure out how he's playing, I'm just pointing out that he has certainly taken his drumming to a whole new level

for a real treat, watch him in that video towards the end. he slips the stick underneath his arm, pulls out the mallet, hits the gong, then picks his stick back up and continues playing without missing a single beat.
