@@jeffroper5943 “Bragging” about gear and bragging about playing are 2 different things pal. He’s legit telling his fans about his gear if he just said “this my snare” i think that’s doing a disservice to the fans
Before I knew of Carter, I knew of his drumming being a DMB fan. I could hear something great and different coming from this guy. Having just taken up drums at a retired age and searching out the many avenues to learn I have come to know Mr. Beauford and why he is one of the best. Lots of wisdom and inventiveness in what he does. Great smile as well.
I loved Carter like 15 years ago when I was starting to really get serious about playing. I really would have loved this video. It seems like it's from the early 2000s so I'm stunned that it isn't until now that I've seen it. Thanks so much for putting this up! There's so many cool tricks and hacks tat he shows on his drumset. I had no idea that he had a way to signal for an equipment issue. I've heard him talk about the double pedal thing on the left foot, but I had no idea that he had that on the right foot as well. What a phenomenal drummer. One of the best on the planet if not the best.
The tour around his kit is awesome and all, and believe me - I wish I'd learned drums in my youth. But the best part of this video is his advice at the end. There's a reason DMB has been around as long as they have - love of the music first and foremost. Everything else just falls into place.
Years ago I switched my grip to open hand after watching his instructional video "Under the Table & Drumming. " I kept my drum setup the same as a typical righty. At first it felt so foreign and frustrated me to no end but after I started getting comfortable with it my ambidexterity grew very quickly. Its one of the best decisions I ever made to improve my abilities. To be able to just groove and ride along while toying with the cymbals and hit - hat and being more vocal on toms is so much better. I also don't have to worry about crossing hands over, knocking sticks together. It's just so much better. I also taught all my students to work on this development and they all agreed it was so much more comfortable.
Fantastic! Love Carter and DMB. He displayed true wisdom and a pure love for his craft during this interview and he’s still playing to this day. One of the best to ever hold a pair of sticks.
Thanks for this video. Great to hear his thoughts on playing and get a behind the scenes tour of his kit. It would sound so hilariously awful if I sat down and tried to play those haha.
Every f***ing time some a**hole has to chime in with a comment about Neil Peart. Neil Peart sucked balls! He couldn't hold a candle tot the stuff Carter does. Get your Peart fanboy shit out of here! This story is about Carter, Tony WIlliams, Billy Cobham, Buddy. Peart was a fucking hack!
Maciej Krzyżyński this is when he played the z combo series with a k top hat but upside down. Very heavy bottom hat that he put on top and it was very tight and bright
