Danny's first encounter with the drums began at the age of ten when he joined the school band and began taking private lessons on the snare drum. In his senior year of high school in Paola, Kansas, Carey joined the high school jazz band.

At the University of Missouri–Kansas City, Danny began expanding his studies in percussion with theory into the principles of geometry, science, and metaphysics as well as delving into Sacred Geometry and certain hidden aspects of life and the occult. Carey also played jazz while attending college and got to experience the jazz scene in Kansas City.

A commitment to life as an artist brought Danny to LA where he was able to perform as a studio drummer with projects like Carole King and play around town with Pygmy Love Circus. He would later find an outlet for addressing a fuller scope of his potentials in Tool and another project operating under the title of Zaum.
