Please explain? I don't see how Danny Carey doesn't apply his skill. I think he's actually really good at applying his skill. Listen to several tool tracks and you have to admit he's a creative drummer that tries to come up with new sounds all the time.
You're right that there are many drummers that are very skilled but aren't able to explore their abilities. I heartly disagree Carey is one of them. I don't think you can put him on the same level as Peart, Bonham, Moon though. I think I mentioned it before in this thread that I really can't pick a #1. There are too many brilliant drummers that I have to choose from. But of course that's the fun of a thread and discussion like this.
