@elnino482 If bozzio was such a joke. Frank Zappa wouldnt have put him in his band. You had to be top notch to be in Zappa's band. He is the original drummer to play The Black Page #1. that is a very hard piece to play. almost impossible.
Both are incredibly talented drummers and are far better than I'll ever be, but my vote goes to DC, his calculated time signatures and astounding polyrhythms have made him a favourite of mine for years now. Drumming perfection imo.
SOrry but danny is blows terry away.. do you hear terry use such rolls with music he plays along with.. NO!!!! sure terry can solo but your stupid if you say terry is better than Danny!! no way!! lets match em up in the ring!!
Lol i love reading these comments. everyone is so willing to compromise and agree to disagree. not like guitarist debates. those debates get a little rowdy.
My favourite personally is Danny. But honestly, who cares. Terry "The Great" Bozzio is what it says. To say that any of these amazing drummers is "worse" than anyone else is foolish
Danny turns the drums into something else, it's not just about speed or difficult but about being creative, give quality and a brand new identity to the instrument, and playing it in ways that become unexpected! =)
honestly who gives a shit, they're both great drummers and they've both got different styles all together, not to mention the fact that bozzio has been playing 15 years longer than danny. stop comparing, start appreciating
Unless you are blind and deaf it is unmistakeable that Danny can play circles around Bozzio. Bozzio is a great drummer but lets be real! It isn't even a competition.
Terry Bozzio clearly playing with three major bands, Zappa, Missing Persons, Korn, all with different styles, impressed me the most. Terry uses everything and makes it sound so good.
or listen to the black page and then look it up on google or something, terry is playing this note by note, danney carrey does jam and tool is way bad ass but as far as drummers it is like comparing a drum god to a better than average rock drummer come on guys, really
hahahahahahahaha, I hate to sound rude, but danny carrey isnt that good,... at all ive been playing drums for about 14 years now and terry bozzio is so beyond carrey it is astounding listen to bozzio levin stevens, frank zappa,brecker brothers danny carrey probably cant even read music
I really enjoy watching Terry Bozzio. He has great speed & energy and almost looks effortless when he is drumming, & his stage presence is excellent. I also enjoy watching Danny Carey, as he also has great stage presence, technique & more power in his drumming, He is also cuter :)
Perhaps, having videos with just their drum solos only so their skills are featured individually & only?
worst choice of video ever.... i have seen terry do everything danny did and better... and now he plays the largest set which is also a chromatically tuned drumset which danny doesnt have the ability to do... if you wanna see what a drummer is really made of you dont look at his ability in a band setting anyways you look at the creativeness outside the band setting or "solos" because in a band setting anyone can learn to do what is done by the drummer (assuming you have any skills at drumming)
I think Danny is the better of the two. Terry is an excellent drummer, but he justs plays. When Danny performs, he takes the drums and puts his voice into them.
im no drummer, danny sounds better. i think terry may be technically better but it seems that its just that terry switches timing too drastically. my vote be danny
when i listen to tool, i can hear the thought and detail gone into each new rhythm and beat, danny is as much a percussionist as he is a drummer. a very standout example of his talent and creative odd timed drumming pieces is The Grudge as a whole, and of course the 46&2 solo. danny carey is my favourite drummer of all time and an inspiration, he gets my vote!
Danny wouldn't be the drummer that he is without the influence of great drummers such as Bozzio. However, Danny's drumming carries so much more weight/feeling/substance behind it. He's just a better drummer all around than Bozzio ever was. And, that's not a bad thing.. He just took it, and evolved to the next level.
as a drummer i have respect for both artists, but in the purest form, Danny can do everything that Bozzio did, and then some, he is just the better drummer
@element00257 No offence...and i mean it....but you really dont know what you're talking about. Because they play very different styles, there is no way for you or anyone to be able to comment about who is better. Its like trying to compare Paco Sery with Ian Paice. I like Danny better - but even though i've played for 13 years, i cant compare an apple to an orange cause thats just stupid.
Danny carey is simply the most talented drummer i have ever heard. If you listen to any tool song youll see that it is his drumming that is giving you those goosebumps
Very striking in styles & sets. Bozzio is complex in range with tuning adjustments & exotic rhythms coloring his work even when playing rock. Listen to hear that difference which makes him an original. His footwork is fantastic. Consider the variety of musicians he's collaborated with, listen to their pieces, & compare with anything else then you understand the demands. Although I am more familiar with Bozzio than Carey so it means I have more listening to do. Enjoy.
Carey is a dynamic swinger & that may limit him compared to Bozzio. While he also provides complexity it is rarely out of a certain zone that fits his particular signature. His music definitely inspires but he may play to his fans, the genre, or for the bands he is in at the time more than developing his own beat & sounds. It's like you get what is expected from him. I must give regard to other work than what is provided here because that may be an issue.
Danny Carey is the best I've ever heard. I've given other drummers a fair listen, and none seem to have his ability to play with power, speed, and mathematical precision and timing.
Maybe it's unintentional, but I feel like this contest is rigged. None of the Bozzio clips show his best stuff, except maybe the second one. The first clip is a slowed down version of stuff he was blazing on earlier - slowed down for the sake of teaching. Look up "Terry Bozzio US Drag Solo" and tell me it's not bad-ass. Watch "City of Tiny Lights" or his solo from Zappa's '77 Baby Snakes concert. Danny Carey's great, but his fans should be open to his idols - like Terry.
@FranklinBlunt City of Tiny Lights is breathtaking from start to finish! I used to sing and play that in a band. Obviously, I had to simplify the drumming to do so!
@intuantu None of the Danny clips show his best. Watch his live performance of triad and try to keep up with the polyrhythms going on. Its truly an amazing performance. Bozzio is a better session drummer, but Danny is who you want in your band. Both Phenomenal though.
@PoeticJustice05 Sorry, Danny's clips are more indicative of what he's about. Most of the clips of Terry are anything BUT showcases of his abilities. I'm pretty sure if Danny's fans told him he's better than Bozzio, his response would be along the lines of "Thanks, but what have you been smoking?" I know Danny idolizes Terry. Try to argue with this: Danny wouldn't be the drummer he is today without the influence of Terry. Just like Tony Williams, Eric Gravatt, Narada M. Walden influenced Terry.
@intuantu I never said he's better than Terry Bozzio, only that the clips of him are not his best. None of the clips showcase the myriad number of awesome polyrhythms he plays in lots of Tool songs. The clips either show him rocking out, which he also does magnificently, or at the end of a song. His best stuff are his polyrhythms and his tribal rhythms, that and his awesome ability to rock out with his cock out.
Terry Bozzio, more versatile and can master any style. That's my own personal opionion but both drummers are equally talented in their own way, I'll just lean toward Bozzio a little more.
This is my answer based on how I personally interpreted the question being asked by the person that posted this video. I think they are both incredibly untouchable, I personally prefer Danny for his more 'tribal' style because its easier to just 'lose yourself' to the music. But that doesn't mean he's better than Bozzio, just means he's better at playing what I want to hear.
I know you said to comment on the drummers only, but thank you for that terrific Tool footage, amazing audio.
Danny Carey hands down! No doubt what so ever! Bozzio is good but he can't touch Danny the untouchable! Carey ranks right along side Neil Peart, Vinnie Paul, and Mike Portnoy. This is no contest as far as this post goes!
carey for sure, bozzio has that snippet in there of a carey impression which made me laugh because he doesnt seem to have it in him to play using anything but 4/4
Bozzio. If I had to pick one it would be Bozzio. Imagine you had to listen to one of these guys for the rest of your life. I'd rather listen to the Bozzio style. That said, I like Danny Carey too.
Sorry...Danny's chops have more clarity. Terry gets "classic" points, but Danny's playing is hands down MORE articulate, thus demonstrating less refinement of "tricks" that he can pull off like Terry.... and greater faculty of technique.
Terry used to be my fav for years, but Danny took his place! Love them both, and they are unique in their own way. You can tell... Oh... thats danny playing, or... oh thats bozzio! and thats what saparates a drummer from a guy who plays the drums.
Danny carrey all the way!!!!! besides the fact that his style and licks are way better he can take his skills and incorporate them into the middle of tools music unlike bozzio who could only produce crazy technical compositions in a solo setting
The are both amazing. Both can play all kids of wicked shit in crazy time signatures in clinics, but only Carey can incorperate that same kind of musicality and rythemic creativity into actual songs...and not just as a free-time solos, but directly into the groove of the song.
you know, to say that one drummer can do something the other can't, is a little naive. Both are distinguished players at the top of their game.
Different Styles? Yea. Like both styles for what they are...but from a technical standpoint, who can say from a few minutes of video who the most skilled drummer is? You can't...Both have pushed the limits of technique, and the above video hardly scratches the surface of what each can do.
Kinda wished you woulda put The intro and a little farther in for Ticks and leeches by Tool. That song just blows my fucking mind on drums. Danny Carey for sure
Danny Carey = Today. Terry Bozzio = Yesteryears. They are both great drummers, but the times have changed and so have people's perceptions of constitutes a great drummer. Apples to Oranges comparison here.
hard to say..both amazing and more so important to the evolution to music...it doesnt matter whos better but carey is more pleasing to the ear ..at least he clicks more with my brain than bozzio but rsect all around...dont argue just enjoy drumming finest
@shippinsteeldeluxe has just proved that there is no space in this post his comments. That is like saying Darwin did very little to contribute to modern science. Bozzio and Carey are a very close match. I would score it like this: Bozzio 1 - Carey 1.618.
@shippinsteeldeluxe lmao did u actually just say that? lmao its funny Danny Carey is in a band named tool i think its fair to call you a total fucking Tool. but nice try trying to convince us hes overrated...let alone the most overrated drummer of the last 20 years.....i guess guys like Lars Ulrich and Joey Jordison ring a bell? fucking moron. god i hate stupid people.
@godofwar5 neither, as mentioned in above post. I love how upset tool fans get upset when you tell them you're not a fan of the band. I used to like them but it got too predictable and boring.
My fave drummers include Bozzio, Chris Pennie, Tim Alexander, Brian Mantia, Tomas Haake (meshuggah who Tool tried to emulate), Gene Hoglan and more.
I think Danny Carey is good but really not as good as everyone thinks, perhaps people should listen to other bands... perhaps
@shippinsteeldeluxe ur really stupid actually:S and dont talk to me about listening to other bands. cause i can name a million great drummers from tons of bands who are great drummers. not to mention a shit ton of real drummers like Jazz drummers. Danny is extrememly creative, when he plays drums u know hes playing just by listening. he has a destinct style hes not just a drummer hes unbelieveable. i can understand opinion but to call him the most overrated drummer of the last 20 years? stupid.
@godofwar5 see how upset tool fan boys get? Its hilarious. Maybe you should kiss him on the lips?
I met DC a few weeks ago at a grindermen gig, he was a nice guy and signed my gf's viola. Still overrated though. OK he may not be the MOST over rated drummer in the last 20 years but he's overrated
@shippinsteeldeluxe getting mad and laughing at morons are 2 different things :) obviously 1 guy outta 605,000 that viewed this video think hes "overrated" Danny Carey ftw :)
@shippinsteeldeluxe Now, I am a HUGE Tool fan, but Danny isn't the greatest drummer. I would say he was the greatest modern drummer, though. If we're talking all time, I would say Buddy Rich or Bonham.
Danny Carey is far more creative. Terry Bozzio just repeats rudiments he's learned years ago. Both are brilliant drummers. Tool is a better band than anything Bozzio has ever been in. Including Korn.
both are great; Terry has more range, variety and experience. There are so many great drummers out there: Kirk Covington(tribal tech), Vinnie C, Dave Weckl ...... etc..
I'm a drummer at age 15. been playing for 6 years now this summer. I must say, that playing Tool songs the last 8 (ca.) months of my life has GREAAATLY increased my drumming style compared to ANYTING else. and i've played alot of different shit xD
D Carey is so good. I probably sound too much like him because I listen to Tool so much. Oh well, there are few drummers with a better sound to emulate.
I have the highest respect for Bozzio and everything he's accomplished on the drumset and in terms of bringing a whole new light to percussion. But in terms of raw kick ass-ness.....it's Carey all the way!
they are both great drummers, styles arent all that different either, but Danny Carey has, is and always will be my favorite drummer ever, wish hed come play for my band!!!
Terry Bozzio thinks he's cool because he has a drum set that he uses only 30% of. He thinks that playing fast makes you superior, however Danny is the fucking shit and his placement is just amazing. It's not about how many notes you play, but what notes you play.
the best of the best bands and the crux of time keepers both bands are out of the scope we call time n relativity! i could not answer if i had to choose which bands cd would i choose to only listen to the rest of my time left alive....after doing time in solitary confinement for 6 mnths i found myself euphorically hitting the play button to both tool @ Master Frank Zappa
When Neil Peart goes to church he goes to Danny Carey worship cathedral. Danny is not only THE BEST drummer ever, he is also a genuinely good human being.
This is the first time I've ever heard Terry play, and I gotta say, I'm really impressed. He's a great drummer, but despite that, Danny is still #1 in my heart. He's the reason I started learning drums, and I'll always be a big fan of his because of that.
That and the fact that he's a straight up amazing drummer.

The are both amazing. Both can play all kids of wicked shit in crazy time signatures in clinics, but only Carey can incorperate that same kind of musicality and rythemic creativity into actual songs...and not just as a free-time solos, but directly into the groove of the song.

you know, to say that one drummer can do something the other can't, is a little naive. Both are distinguished players at the top of their game.
Different Styles? Yea. Like both styles for what they are...but from a technical standpoint, who can say from a few minutes of video who the most skilled drummer is? You can't...Both have pushed the limits of technique, and the above video hardly scratches the surface of what each can do.
My vote: Both are insanely good.

Bozzio is good but Danny ATTACKS the drum set totally differently...style. Danny gets my vote.

Danny Carey = Today. Terry Bozzio = Yesteryears. They are both great drummers, but the times have changed and so have people's perceptions of constitutes a great drummer. Apples to Oranges comparison here.

@shippinsteeldeluxe has just proved that there is no space in this post his comments. That is like saying Darwin did very little to contribute to modern science. Bozzio and Carey are a very close match. I would score it like this: Bozzio 1 - Carey 1.618.

DC = most over rated drummer of the last 20 years. Tim Alexander anyone?
shippinsteeldeluxe 9 months ago
@shippinsteeldeluxe lmao did u actually just say that? lmao its funny Danny Carey is in a band named tool i think its fair to call you a total fucking Tool. but nice try trying to convince us hes overrated...let alone the most overrated drummer of the last 20 years.....i guess guys like Lars Ulrich and Joey Jordison ring a bell? fucking moron. god i hate stupid people.
godofwar5 9 months ago
@godofwar5 neither, as mentioned in above post. I love how upset tool fans get upset when you tell them you're not a fan of the band. I used to like them but it got too predictable and boring.
My fave drummers include Bozzio, Chris Pennie, Tim Alexander, Brian Mantia, Tomas Haake (meshuggah who Tool tried to emulate), Gene Hoglan and more.
I think Danny Carey is good but really not as good as everyone thinks, perhaps people should listen to other bands... perhaps
shippinsteeldeluxe 9 months ago
@shippinsteeldeluxe ur really stupid actually:S and dont talk to me about listening to other bands. cause i can name a million great drummers from tons of bands who are great drummers. not to mention a shit ton of real drummers like Jazz drummers. Danny is extrememly creative, when he plays drums u know hes playing just by listening. he has a destinct style hes not just a drummer hes unbelieveable. i can understand opinion but to call him the most overrated drummer of the last 20 years? stupid.

@godofwar5 see how upset tool fan boys get? Its hilarious. Maybe you should kiss him on the lips?
I met DC a few weeks ago at a grindermen gig, he was a nice guy and signed my gf's viola. Still overrated though. OK he may not be the MOST over rated drummer in the last 20 years but he's overrated

@shippinsteeldeluxe Now, I am a HUGE Tool fan, but Danny isn't the greatest drummer. I would say he was the greatest modern drummer, though. If we're talking all time, I would say Buddy Rich or Bonham.

Danny Carey is far more creative. Terry Bozzio just repeats rudiments he's learned years ago. Both are brilliant drummers. Tool is a better band than anything Bozzio has ever been in. Including Korn.

I'm a drummer at age 15. been playing for 6 years now this summer. I must say, that playing Tool songs the last 8 (ca.) months of my life has GREAAATLY increased my drumming style compared to ANYTING else. and i've played alot of different shit xD
Danny is my picture of how i want to play.

Terry Bozzio thinks he's cool because he has a drum set that he uses only 30% of. He thinks that playing fast makes you superior, however Danny is the fucking shit and his placement is just amazing. It's not about how many notes you play, but what notes you play.

the best of the best bands and the crux of time keepers both bands are out of the scope we call time n relativity! i could not answer if i had to choose which bands cd would i choose to only listen to the rest of my time left alive....after doing time in solitary confinement for 6 mnths i found myself euphorically hitting the play button to both tool @ Master Frank Zappa

When Neil Peart goes to church he goes to Danny Carey worship cathedral. Danny is not only THE BEST drummer ever, he is also a genuinely good human being.

This is the first time I've ever heard Terry play, and I gotta say, I'm really impressed. He's a great drummer, but despite that, Danny is still #1 in my heart. He's the reason I started learning drums, and I'll always be a big fan of his because of that.
That and the fact that he's a straight up amazing drummer.
