Definitely this was amazing to watch!!!! He brought his vhs 📼 copy of under the table and drumming!!!!!😂😂🔥 I’ve watched that video many times as well wishing I could get my hihat syncopation to sound 1/10th as good as the man himself. I’m not a big fan of Dave Matthews band music, but Carters drumming is something I respect highly
Ran into Carter on the road a couple of weeks ago; immediately recognized him in a lobby as he was walking out. I thought I’d missed my chance to say hi, then 3 minutes later he was walking back towards me I said “ Hey Cater Man!” He wheels around, almost taken aback that a fan recognized him. He was so gracious and warm and gave me a few minutes to talk about shows I’d been to and how I’d started listening when i was drumming at like 12 years old. Easily my favorite and most iconic musician and I’m so thankful for the chance to visit with him and that he was so generous with a fan.
Loved the vid. So cool Carter was talking about the guys that inspired me early on too. Watching Buddy Rich on Johnny Carson as a kid, banging on moms pots and pans to seeing George Duke and Return to Forever live in NJ, blow me away in the 70’s. He didn’t mention Mr. Cobham tho...?
Now we just Carter to stop by the drumeo studio and jam a bit. Maybe even throw the dude himself in there as a surprise to him and continue this epic conversation
As a straight up fanboy, I could not IMAGINE what went through your head that morning when you woke up like...‘Holy s#%t. I’m about to interview Carter Beauford today’ 😐 We should all have the experience one day of nerding out in front of our heroes, man. Cool stuff! 🏆
The sheer joy on your face, getting to hang with your idol, and shoot the shit with him is only matched by how humble he is and how much he truly appreciates the kind words you pass on. THIS, is what it's about. Thanks for the vid!
Alex tienda!!! Increíble lo que has hecho por Venezuela GRACIAS que bueno ver qué te gusta la buena música

Carter is an incredible musician, and I guess that everyone that came to this video knows it. What I wish to highlight is that a great interview depends a lot on the interviewer and his/her knowledge on the interviewee. And you nailed it Harry Miree. Well done.
I've never been more than a passing admirer of Carter, and I've always loved his playing in the context of DMB; but DUDE his joyous energy is so infectious. I spent the whole 14 minute interview grinning ear to ear. Watching you two cats just go back and forth, seeing you in awe of your greatest hero, it was just awesome dude. I hope many blessings follow you in your drumming career.
He has the most beautiful happy energy that would make anyone smile..even if he wasn't a drummer..but thank God he is and we get to listen to his talent
I love revisiting this video every few weeks. Still incredibly happy Harry got to do this - the insight Carter provides here is amazing. Carter's got that happy energy that many of the best drummers from the modern era have - Hawkings, Fishman, etc.
I graduated in 2019 with a degree in percussion performance because of a video of Carter Beauford someone showed me as a 6th grader that inspired me to try to be as expressive as he was on the instrument. I just got done with my first semester of graduate school and my aspirations are to get a doctoral degree in music before the end of this next decade. Thanks for the sick interview Harry. #gnarlybanner
I'm so happy you got to interview Carter. I found your channel 5 years ago when you uploaded 5 tips for Drumming like Carter Beuford. I haven't drummed in years, and mostly play guitar/produce on our channel. But I do write drums for us still, and Carter is my all time fav drummer. (You wouldn't think listening to the music we make) But for real... What a legend. You're a real dude Harry. Also, if ever in AZ, come by our studio, let's collab. Put you in a vid with us!
Yes, is surreal hearing Carter talking about other people with such reverence... If one didn't know who he is or what he had achieved, one would think he is a random drummer of the bunch, from an unknown band. The guy is always smiling and it comes naturally to him. Is a joy just to watch him talking or drumming because of his personality.
I've been drumming since around 1965. Mr. Beauford is one of the few who still confounds me. He is one of the best, for sure, and seems like a really cool guy, to boot.
Harry, that was awesome and I am so happy for you to have had that moment with Carter! Excellent, insightful, thoughtful and well articulated questions dude.
^This!!^ LoVEd watching/sharing your interview🥰 After a show in Scranton, PA 2009, an equipment truck driver gifted me w/ a drum head Carter played that night. I brought it to countless shows, across the 🇺🇸 ... Finally, after a jazz show in Reading, PA (2017) - I met Carter Beauford. He listened to my story SO patiently, autographed the drum head & pointed me out during the post show meet & greet and took a treasured picture w/ me‼️ ❤️ Carter is beyond gracious & humble. Thank you forever, Carter!!!
Wow. I am always blown away by Carter anytime I see an interview. Not only is he one of the greatest drummers to ever play but this guy is a great human being. Thank you Carter!
never heard of this legend before watching harry and now im a HUGE FAN of the Dave Mathews band and Carter thank you harry for introducing me to both the Dave Mathews band and CARTER BEAUFORD! #dude
For CB beginners: play '#41' and 'You Never Know' on repeat for 1-2 years before graduating to the rest of Carter's/DMB's incredibly tasty catalog of thrills and "fills" (pun intended on the latter 😉).
This is EPIC. I was a bouncer at the New Daisy Theater in Memphis when Under The Table broke out. Back when they were doing 2 sets. I stood next to the stage and if a bomb had gone off in the audience I wouldnt have heard it. I was in a trance and immersed in greatness of this new band and Carter who I still swear has 3 arms because no human could connect with an instrument like that (RIP Neil Peart) that I'd ever witnessed live before. Got some signed swag later and he was such a down to Earth cat. Loved it. Been a proud fanboy ever since. Great interview man. Just made my day.
This video legit makes me happy for you. I can’t even imagine how amazing u feel during this interview. Good for u man!! (I still want a pair of dude sticks)
The whole interview was Harry in complete awe of Carter.And Carter giving credit for almost all of his success to people who inspired him. Great to see 2 great drummers/musicians show such respect to their inspirations. Great interview!
Glad to see you are back man. #dude. #gnarlybanner. I want to keep getting better at drums and play on a record someday as well as another concert stage and have that be a part of my legacy as a musician.
loo nacy it’s because of their fan base. I’m a huge fan and have been for 25 years. Around 99/2000 their shows became saturated with 16 year old alcoholics who were wasted before showtime.
Most people that don't like Dave are the people who have never seen a show or taken the time to listen. My first show was in Antioch '01 when I was 17. I thought that Dave was a goofball and the only reason I went was bc I wanted to go on a road trip with my friends. The atmosphere at the show was electric, the people were cool, and the air smelled really good. I've been to 50 shows since then and have even took my kids to their first show at Blossom last year. It's ok to not like a band. But when it's a band with genuine talent and humble band members, it's hard to understand why.
Carter is obviously a phenomenal drummer and both Leroi and his replacement are awesome saxophonists, dave is my all time favorite guitarist(I can play almost all of his songs) he's not the most technically advanced, but I love his style so much. On their own they're a good, but collectively, the music they make just never gets old, it mixes together so well. My all time favorite band, there's no one like them
My favorite band of all time ! Now 62 yrs. old feel the same. One thing that sucks at concerts is ALL THE DRUNK UNDERAGE KIDS TALKING ON THEIR CELL PHONES! Ughh so annoying. Anyone who says they don’t like the band has never seen them live! AWESOME BAND!❤️
#gnarlybanner - I saw DMB play Folsom field back in the 00’s. That night Carters nephew/cousin in law was my room mate went backstage and was able to get the drum sticks that carter played with. Carter signed them and wrote to the room mates see you next time. They are now framed above my Guitars. Carter is also my sons favorite drummer. Each day we aspire to practice and be our best selves not only with our music but how we approach the world and interact with others. Carter not only gives the same Vibe but reminds us that with a dream anything is possible. I want that gnarly item to go next to the sticks to keep telling the story of true inspiration can come from anywhere and from anyone. Carter is by far the best drummer ever. I am blessed to get to listen to it and see his bubble gum blowing smile and laughter on stage in a world field with so much hate. Cheers to you cats And Thanks for sharing the video.
i love you harry, don’t scare me like that again, you’re a huge inspiration for me. You keep me motivated to get better at drums. You motivated me to keep going.
Dude, 💯.., Carter gave away his secret. Not only that, but you got Carter drumming to my FAVORITE Dave song. I don't have an idea for the next title, but THANK YOU for making this video and confirming what I believed all this time. Truly Thank You, J
I remember watching Carter as a child and being inspired to start a band. Just a kid from Ohio but still playing drums with 4-5 different bands to this day. Thanks for the inspiration, Mr. Beauford! Ive seen you live many times at Blossom and it’s always a dream come true. #dude #gnarlybanner #drumtomorrow #cats
Harry! Glad to see you’re back! Idk if you remember but you came out to BYU on Halloween of 2018 and gave a clinic for our percussion masterclass (I was one of the performers before you gave your dudely wisdom). Then we went and got dinner at Bombay house with a couple of the other guys. #dude my drumming aspirations: this year I intend to transition to making a full-time living as a drummer, and beyond that: stadium tours, dude! #gnarlybanner
# dude I’m a high school kid and started listening to Dave Matthews band about two years ago. I had always loved the drums and wanted to play but it wasn’t until I heard Carter Dudford play that I finally decided on making the leap, getting a kit, and started to learn this wonderful instrument thank you Carter
Predrag Tolmachev GO FOR IT!! “Take what you can from your dreams and make them as real as anything” You will find all the inspiration you need when you keep your mind and heart open ❤️ good luck to you
If you’ve just started listening to dmb then I’d begin at Remember Two Things. I love Carter but he’s regressed a little with his playing lately. It’s a lot more flash and bang these days instead of tight and intricate like he used to play. Long live the man!!!
DUDE! This is probably the the best interview with Carter that I have ever heard. You always have a second career as an interviewer or even as a comedian! Love your drumming DUDE!
Love this so much.. The honor, the respect, the Love, the Heart, and of course, the amazing talent... So grateful to share this with you, brother., Hell Yeah!!! 🥇
Always makes my day to hear interviews with the #dude , Beauford. He's always been my favorite drummer, popping that gum and smiling ear to ear during the entire set. Love me some Beauford!
This must have been a Dream come True to interview Carter. I have played Drums and Percussion for about 40 years and I have decided at almost 50 I want to make a run at becoming one of The Greats. I wake up by 4 every morning to get my lessons and practice in. I have to get up that early because I have to care for my Uncle who is a really good guy that has lived his life with epilepsy. Also a couple of years ago my Mom was diagnosed with Parkinson's and I was able to buy the house next door so I am able to look after them because she honestly is the Sweetest person I have ever known. I play multiple instruments but my Absolute Passion is Drumming and I try to pass that Love onto my Drum and Percussion Students. I really did enjoy this video and if I may suggest a title for the sequel; STEP TWO: BECOMING A SAMURAI DRUMMER... #DUDE #GNARLYBANNER #DRUMTOMORROW
The thing about Carter, he doesn't try to mindlessly be the "fastest" or "most technical". He compliments the music. He is fast, and incredibly technical. But he is most importantly MUSICAL.
#dude. I’m 65 years old and a big Carter (and Harry) fan! I still practice and I’m always trying to break down Carter licks. Loved this interview! #gnarlybanner.
Aspirations: After a brief gig years ago drumming in a rock band in Nashville while going to grad school, I now aspire, as a father of three in his mid thirties, to show my kids the joy I get when behind the drum kit and hopefully one day be able to return to playing out live. #gnarlybanner
I played in great bands in college, took time off, all the family stuff, now at 46 I play in a great band, and we do shows all the time. Do it!!! I love the drums more than ever, and man is it great to go on stage again... We are like college kids; with WAY more money for gear.
So glad I stumbled onto your channel, #dude Harry. Carter Beauford is one of my all-time favs and one of my biggest inspirations. Thanks for your channel, and for sharing it all with us. Keep rocking, man!
So glad you got to meet Carter and express your admiration in person!! You bring such a joy and sense of wonder to how you share your love for the drums. You were beaming throughout this interview so much that I got to see how I myself would feel talking to Carter! The Evolution of the WWYS fill was sooo cool to hear. And Drum Tomorrow is perfect!
Two amazing drummer dudes hanging together talking my language! Loved the “What Would You Say” breakdown segment! That was so friggin cool! Carter is my hero! Keep it real gentlemen. That is all...Oh yes and #dude. Oh and this too: “For the Love of drumming” for #drumtomorrow
Congrats on hanging with Carter!! What a great interview. One of the best drummers to walk the planet and apparently, one of the most humble and coolest too.
Let's make this a series: "raddest drumming duderino gets to interview his drumming heroes and have the chillest conversations. Dude." I'm not even a drummer, but the drumming and the vibe in these videos are so chill and I LOVE IT. Glad to have a new video 🤓!
Thank you Harry. Carter is the ultimate. Really happy for you to have this experience. You earned it dude. Now for my aspirations on the drums since it would mean the world to me to have such a #gnarlybanner ... I am left handed and was taught to play closed handed by a very closed minded (albeit phenomenal drummer) instructor. I too was lucky to be gifted Carter’s UTTADrumming as a teen and have been open hand since. My aspiration for the drums is to nail down three Carter tunes in You Never Know, #41, Captain from Chicago Caravan (where Carter creams the fill to lift the band out of a bit of a funk, well except Timmy who was slaying it from the start). Why learn these songs in particular? Well... my father and mother have been my biggest fans since I was just a child (kind enough that they even let me have the drum set let alone gifting my first set to me and the lessons and the UTTADrumming and not to mention allowing that I play day or night). Incredible parents really. And to top it off, I got into Carter/DMB thru my dad and mom whom bought the album after seeing them open for Big Head Todd early 90s. (I was born in 89, I’m 30 yrs old.) I feared adding this but my parents both each had illness in the last several years and tho they are doing fairly super well now, #dude thanks for asking, it’s been my mission of late to learn those most challenging licks for them and share it with them in the next year. So I’ll play that #drumtomorrow and every day after as well. Well, I’m sure you can appreciate the story regardless of any super sweet Carter memorabilia. Love you dude and here’s to Carter making another drum instructional. Health and happiness, Ryan
I legit teared a bit seeing those UTTAD VHS tapes! I used to watch those every day after school and one day my mom got mad at me and broke my tapes. She later bought the DVD version because she felt horrible (we all make mistakes) but I always missed those VHS tapes. Thanks for this video, it brought me back to being a kid again.
#gnarlybanner This interview/video was so awesome and down to earth, just as I always would believe Carter the type of person to be! I would always see this banner at our local music store hanging on the wall and Carter’s huge contagious smile would always light up my heart knowing that a good guy is being a great leader in music! Carter has been such a huge influence for me and my playing. I have always loved how his spirit sang in the songs that he played on the drums, never the same thing and just the right feel for the moment. This is what I have always aspired do when I played…and to share a moment in time with a listener and hopefully leave a smile with them, just as Carter has always done for me. I thank you Carter for infecting me early in life with the desire to share music and understand that it can and should be something fun and beautiful! Thanks Harry for this great interview and sharing your passion of drumming and music!! All the best friends and I wish you all the best in 2020…happy drumming to all!!
Dude. PHENOMENAL interview! Interesting questions, great vibe (never mind the fanboying - I think it added to the quality) a top notch audio live mix and actually some longer sequences of Carter laying it down. THANK YOU!
I've been drumming for 20 years and I've always deeply admired Carter Beauford even though DMB isn't necessarily the type of music I prefer. This is the first interview of Carter I've seen and my admiration for him has grown even more. What a cool guy. I also love Harry and am glad he got to meet Carter and make this video.
I’ve been playing the drums for about a year or two and it is the first instrument out of many that I found a passion for. I took piano lessons, guitar, and even ended up played the trumpet for four years. I lied to my buddy saying I knew how to play them to join his garage band and got kicked out after a week, a couple other of my pals came together to start a new one, we played a few back yards and ended up having the time of our lives regardless of people reactions towards what we were doing. A lot has changed since then but I still love sitting behind the kit and playing my heart out. Playing the kit is one of the few things I genuinely love doing, and Carter helped ignite that fire back in me. Due to my love of music and drumming, after I graduate i’m decided to move to a city with an active music scene to study music in college while taking my gen ed classes, and to try to get plugged into all of the music i’m going to be surrounded by. #gnarlybanner
I'm no musician at all but I love DMB and the way Carter plays is so interesting to me. I wish I had the knowledge to understand why his way if playing captures my ear. Awesome interview and a sequel would be amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Just happened across this interview after an amazing 3 nights at the gorge. Just reminescing of all the years we have been able to as musicians and drummers - not that one isnt the other - have been blessed to witness Carter and the band leave it all on the stage. Great video Harry, glad you got to do it! I feel like I get better at drums and life just listening to this great man.
Aspirations: Keep chasing my drumming heroes like Carter and Harry “Your Dudeness” Miree to glean snippets of genius I can incorporate into my drumming. #gnarleybanner Carter’s sequel: “This is What I Would Say” #drumtomorrow Thank you, Harry, for always posting such awesome content!! #dude
