I remember the first time I SAW Carter, I was totally captivated. Not because of his playing (that's a total given) but because of how I saw him play. I played drums and up to that point, I never saw anyone else play open handed. That's how I played and all of my drumming heroes played cross handed while now I finally found someone who played like me, giving a lot of inspiration. I just couldn't stop watching how he played and all of the possibilities with that hand set up
This man has the greatest energy ever. Always smiling and absolutely killing it. I miss Boyd bein with them, but they're still my favorite live band ever
His playing is so beautiful. Thank you whoever created this universe for putting Carter here. And thank you Carter for sharing your incredible talents. 🙏🏼 ❤️
Carter is an advanced robot from the future. How else could he make that shit look so effortless? Dear drummers - Don't fear. We don't want all you to play like this. Those of us in front would get confused and just turn around to watch you with slack jaws. Just keep time and toss in a few tasty fills. That's all we want. That said... Holy Christ get a load of this guy!
I wish I had learned to play drums w/the ride cymbal on my left side.If you're playing the ride with your left hand on the left side of an otherwise right-handed kit, it opens up so many more possibilities for the right hand. There are parts that Carter plays that I would have an enormous difficulty playing simply b/c of where his ride cymbal is & the fact that his left hand is as strong & independent as his right.One part in particular is the bridge,I guess, of the song #41. Listen closely.
Sometimes it makes me want to admire and wonder how we as drummers do what we do, by watching something as superb as someone as this gentleman or Simon Phillips. Check out "Rocks, Pebbles, and Sand" by Stanley Clarke. Makes you want to run out and grab a bass guitar and become more proficient on your instrument of choice...
Nova informação: ele é canhoto sim... mas aprendeu a ser ambidestro, pois quando criança tocava como canhoto, e ao ver Budd Rich tocar quis imitar seus passos e emular toda sua forma de tocar, porém não notou que sua mão esquerda continuava na condução... com o tempo ele aperfeiçoou isso e se tornou ambidestro (com preferência para a condução utilizada no vídeo)
Uma correção, o Carter não é canhoto, é destro ... Ele se diz à vontade tocando assim. Se você buscar uns vídeos antigos, verá ele tocando normal (com os braços cruzados) .. abraços
Oh come ON! This guy became this amazing because he PRACTICED and made an effort to improve. Not because he came out of the womb playing an 8 piece recording custom.
Hi hat sounds weird. Who cares ! Listen to his phrasing, Listen to the syncopation on the hi hat This video was awesome. IF YOU CANT TYPE ANYTHING GOOD, PRESS THE POWER BOTTON
he didn't, this is actually Carter's playing, I own this Hudson Music DVD, and I can verify that this is 100% Carter-fied, the video quality itself is out of sync, so there may be a miniscule delay between the audio and the video
Jonah Salem Sounds like the original song he keeps playing, it does have some significant changes. Unless you heard something else that I'm missing here?
