Tool drummer Danny Carey recently performed live with a group of young musicians in last Saturday’s men’s basketball game (December 11) between the Missouri Tigers and the Kansas Jayhawks of the NCAA.
Carey lent his ever-so-impressive talents behind the kit for a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s Fire.
The game took place at the Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas. Below are some footage filmed by a Carey fan near the kit.
That same weekend, Carey was arrested at the Kansas City airport after fighting with someone inside the terminal, according to TMZ.
Police sources told TMZ that airport police intervened on Sunday evening (December 12) to report a disturbance between two men. When they arrived at the scene, they arrested Carey and transported him to a nearby police station.
The 60-year-old musician was arrested for minor assault and released on bail. The police report has been forwarded to prosecutors for review, and possible charges will follow.
His forensic photograph can be seen below.

Updating his information regarding Carey’s arrest in Kansas City, TMZ then shared the video below of said arrest, in which Carey can be heard informing officers that he is Tool’s drummer and asking many times, “Who have I assaulted?”.
According to a report obtained by TMZ, prior to his arrest, Carey allegedly pushed an airport security officer by pressing his chest with two fingers and screaming “You’re a f*cking f*ggot !” [Tu es une putain de tarlouze] Many times.
TMZ also added that the 60-year-old drummer could be fined up to $ 13,900 for the incident.
Danny is originally from Kansas, and has been playing drums for Tool since the rock band formed in the 1980s in Los Angeles. Many consider him to be one of the greatest drummers of all time.
Besides playing with Tool, he also performs with smaller groups like Pigmy Love Circus, Zaum, Legend of the Seagullmen and Volto.
Tool was formed in 1990 and has released five studio albums so far: Undertow (1993), Ænima (1996), Lateralus (2001), 10,000 Days (2006) and Fear Inoculum (2019); two EP: 72826 (1991) and Opiate (1992); and a limited edition box set: Salival (2000).
The group won four Grammy Awards: “Best Metal Performance” (1998, for Ænima), “Best Metal Performance” (2002, for Schism), “Best Record Set” (2007, for 10,000 Days) and “Best performance Metal ”(2020, for 7empest).
Fear Inoculum arrived in August 2019, after years of waiting. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, smashing sales and radio records while receiving numerous rave reviews.
