Travis Barker (blink 182) drums to soulja boy *impressive*

Someone who is so musically experienced should and would appreciate the musicianship that is put forth on every Tool album, yet you say that you are " not impressed ". I find it hard to believe that being such an experienced musician you would have that opinion. Is it possible that you don't actually play any of these instruments? Yes, and it is highly likely that you have never picked up an instrument before in your life. If you had, you would realize just how complex and intricate their music actually is.

As far a polyrhythms, yes most drummers can exacute them, but not well. That's what sets Carey apart from other drummers. He can and does execute polyrhythms with precision. There is a huge difference between being able to do something and doing it well.

By the way, why are you getting so defensive with each post. Can't you have a civil debate? Oh yeah, if you've been playing drums for 4 years like you claim, you wouldn't "suck". In fact, you would be exactly what you claim Danny Carey to be, AVERAGE at the worst.
