you all prolly dont care at all but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Keanu Allan thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I am no drumming expert but I wont argure w John Bonham, Neil Peart, And Carter Beauford as the top 3 drimmers. His Ants Marching intro is also notable.....because it is pants around the ankles.....you mess up that timing and goodbye song!
Carter Beauford is as good as it gets as a drummer. I'm always surprised when someone discovers Dave Matthews Band. I know its not for everyone but they are pretty incredible.
If you watch him perform live you will see him smiling ear to ear, chewing gum and blowing bubbles all while drumming as if there is no effort involved!!!
Carter Beauford, and Neil Peart, will always be my favorites. The musicianship in DMB has always been underappreciated. The Listener Supported concert is ridiculous.
I couldn’t agree more Neil is def the GOAT and Carter is right there !! I don’t now why or how DMB is so underrated I think the are the best musicians in one band ever and the music is life changing ! And I agree about listener supported I would also add Central Park live
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I dunno if you like the random/improv kind of stuff to analyze but this little jam is fun as hell to watch, need your headphones and volume to hear some of the weird stuff he's doing. I love it. ua-cam.com/video/9OiAuIV9xHo/v-deo.html
You should see him do those fills leading back into the verses live! He chews bubble gum while he plays, and blows GIANT pink bubbles as he’s effortlessly moving through his kit!
Carter is truly ambidextrous, giving him some very rare abilities as a drummer. Also note where he holds the sticks with a very relaxed grip at the very butt end, adding an additional 4"ish inches to his reach, giving him relaxed, effortless speed throughout the entire kit. The reduction in bounce-back from holding the stick at the butt end makes very clean, defined ghost notes rather than buzz notes, which he uses on nearly every instrument in the kit, not just the snare. He is by far the most unique and unconventional of my list of favorite drummers.
He played drums that way (open), because when he was a child he learned to play drums watching television and by that time the image was not corrected (mirror effect), so he put together his kit as if he were left-handed. Hence it is that he acquired such dexterity in his left hand. Cheers, nice channel!
even if you don't like the band that much, sitting and listening to Carter play is so much fun...the man is a machine...a human extension of a drum kit...so much creativity!! thanks Andrew :)
You don't even have to know much about drumming to know he is mind blowingly amazing. I go to Dave shows every year and every year he knocks my socks off !
Carter's Highhat with snare is incredible, the speed, he purposely goes off time then brings it back. I love watching drummers that are absolutely out of my League that I'll never be able to come close to it's quite mesmerizing
Randomly came across this video and it's super amusing to see someone just aghast at how awesome a drummer Carter is. The stuff he does live is just incredible too. Just an incredible talent with such an insanely huge kit.
So funny how you mention DMB never took off internationally, I just had that conversation with a friend of mine from UK. He lived in the States for high school, and couldn't escape DMB. Happy to say we converted him to a huge DMB fan! They were a behemoth here in the States for 20 some years,. I believe they were the highest grossing tour act from 2000 - 2010, incredibly popular, especially known for their live shows. Just a terrific band. And Carter is the absolute pinnacle. Dave often refers to him as "the engine" that makes the band run. This video really shows us why. A few other DMB songs (where Carter really shines) I recommend if you want to be blown away more, : The Stone, Drive in Drive Out, JTR.
This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg with Carter... he is an endless well of talent and chops that I have yet to figure out how he's even human at this point.
It's so hard to be so involved like Carter is and still have it sound clean and open for other instruments to still come through so well. Dude is really a master and plays in such a unique way.
Watching Carter Beauford drumming is like watching a good movie, you want to rewind to see what just happened but you also are wondering what’s to come.
I've been to 15 DMB concerts......many gasp.....WHAT? Why?? What'd ya miss the first 14 times?! LOL but truth is. These 5 orig members were so talented.....they change song timings, rhythums, and even in some songs lyrics.....to keep it fresh... They also have an immense catalog!! And LOVE to interact w the crowd! They usually start at 8PM and finish around midnight! They used to do that Thur-Sun!! From the 90s to late 2000's. They still tour...but nowhere near the level they used to.

I think he’s maybe the most underrated drummer ever. He owns the pocket like nobody I’ve ever seen to be honest. And his creativity and ingenuity are unbeatable. He has it all. Incredibly skilled and talented guy
Carter Beauford is one of the few drummers who I have seen do something that I do, that is, sometimes playing traditional grip with both hands at the same time. and I picked it up purely by accident before I ever heard of him.
you should do more Carter! there music changed my life when i was younger! it has SO MANY LAYERS! they are EPIC LIVE! their what music is supposed to be about!
Wow, I’ve heard that song at least a hundred times and never realized how great the percussion was. That transition/fill at about 1:45 was fire. Great use of the china. I’ve been enjoying your channel - not only am I being introduced to some great artists I’ve never heard, or I’m getting to re-experience songs I know from a different perspective. Enjoyed this one a lot. Cheers!
A lot of the drums in this video are improv. He plays a lot more subtle and groove oriented on the recordings. Not many hertas/zero double bass/minimal China use. He’s 100% just going off in this one. I remember watching this years ago and it’s still breathtaking to this day.
How could i have missed this reactionvideo, this is probably my favourite non-metal drumvideo EVER. Carter is the master of groove, it's all SO smooth, those tasty fills and awesome accents... I'm not kidding when i say i watch this video at least once a week. Not that it makes me feel any better about my own drumming... I don't particularly enjoy the Dave Matthews Band, but Carter is an absolute beast behind the kit.
Haha. Woo! That was awesome. He does more with his inner beat space in one song than some drummers do with a stright beat on a whole album, and without being too busy that he over plays. He also has a series of videos with Victor Wooten, the revolutionary bassist, in the studio where they tall shop and do demos. Thanks Andrew 🙏
Love him so so much 🙇🏽♀️ Been a fan since age eight. On their LiveTrax album in Brazil, the crowd starts the show off chanting Carter's name and does so throughout the whole show. Hearing them acknowledge him so perfectly is the reason I keep going back to that album 😁
Thanks for the video! Carter is a monster! He’s able to fuse so many styles of music, and his fills are always Bruce Lee level, and he does it effortlessly and smiling for the whole concert! Let’s not forget Stefan Lessard who has to follow him on bass!
I really enjoy DMB, been a fan for many years. Carter especially on the studio stuff really tasteful selection in the way he accents the music. Very percussionist approach, not just keep time and back beat. The band overall is very talented musicians. Dave is a tremendous rhythm guitarist. Very creative and plays often in a very "percussive " style and sort of strumming hand muted notes which adds a very rhythmic feel and timing on the solo acoustic tracks. Great reaction video!
you want another melting pot of instruments? Check out Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, a jazz band with Bela Fleck plays banjo, then there are the Wooten brothers Victor and Roy, Victor plays bass guitar, Roy plays drums and as well as an instrument he designed the "drumitar" which is drum trigger pads on a guitar shaped body, then there is a guy playing harmonica, keyboards and juice harp
Andrew Rooney Drums I use to be a huge DMB fan but I’m not a drummer at all. The way I use to describe it to people, in my neophyte way, is that Carter basically hits the snare every four beats, but then EVERYTHING in between those beats is improv. It’s insane to watch live.
Late reply, but I'm not sure he is left handed, he explains in a dvd, that he first saw a drummer when he was 3, so set up drum kit in front of a mirror to copy his favorite drums, and at that age not realizing that the mirror made everything he was doing opposite to them, he then realized when older, so set the kit up the right way round and learnt to lead with his right hand, thus accidentally becoming ambidextrous.
Many years before Carter Beauford became my favorite drummer, many years ago Bill Bruford was my fav. for many years. You have likely heard him but check this out. I should note that I am not musically inclined myself but a true appreciator!! Perpetual Change (w/Drum Solo) From "Yessongs"
So Carter uses his kit to enhance the breaks, the build ups and break downs. He is well know for his syncopated rhythms. As a correction, he plays ride on his left. He has a nice bell ride and a flat top jazz ride on his left. What he plays on the high right are 2 chinas. Bottom china is turned upside down. He sets it high so he can play it with the middle of the stick to get the bottom chinas sound. Just an awesome musician. Thanks for your video
He's just amazing. Totally original. Could you imagine what the dead drummers would've thought about him,? DMB is such a bizarre band that is amazing live, but have a hard time capturing the greatness on record. Tim Reynolds is a Beast!
#41, drive in drive out, and say goodbye by Dave Mathews band, all those songs have video recordings centered on carter, some of his best drum performance songs too!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums 🤣🤣 man I swear watching his videos is a rabbit hole WORTH diving into! He also sings backup vocals for Dave and has been with him for 30 years. I’m just like “dude…teach me”

Even people who are lukewarm on Dave Matthews generally agree: Carter is a BEAST.
Yup!

@@spiritas5372 Listen to the song Crush by DMB and tell me ya not a fan of that. lol
I’m a huge fan of the band, but carter is the backbone for sure
Best drummer that always flies under the radar. Dude plays like hes got 8 arms and 4 feet.
Yup he's awesome
Dave matthews is a band of just pure musicians and its great
Yes Nicholas!
Yes sir!!!
100%
Always smiling. Just infectious!!
he is the groove master. one thing I love about him is that he never plays a song the same way each time, it's always a little different.
NICE!
No, he's not. He doesn't groove at all, nothing but fill after fill.
@@RobertABooey75 you know usually I’d say to each their own…. But you’re wrong. There’s TONS of groove and pocket playing in his style.
summed it up perfectly
@@RobertABooey75 tell it to ALL of the people DANCING at DMB shows. 😆
Carter Beauford is as good as it gets as a drummer. I'm always surprised when someone discovers Dave Matthews Band. I know its not for everyone but they are pretty incredible.
100% William!
You know who never gets any love on any of these drummer reactions. Ray Luzier.
Army of Anyone
Damn right!
Well said.
He’s on my top 3 drummers list alive today. He’s absolutely incredible and one of the nicest guys in the music business
So good Patrick!!
If you watch him perform live you will see him smiling ear to ear, chewing gum and blowing bubbles all while drumming as if there is no effort involved!!!
absolutely amazing drummer
And seeing him do so.....makes me smile automatically every time.
Losing sticks and making new stuff up on the fly.ONE HANDED
and even doing backing vocals!!!
Yup. He’s so awesome.
Carter Beauford, and Neil Peart, will always be my favorites. The musicianship in DMB has always been underappreciated. The Listener Supported concert is ridiculous.
Gotta throw Danny Carey in there. Best 3 drummers of all time on my opinion. DMB is as good as it gets, especially live
I couldn’t agree more Neil is def the GOAT and Carter is right there !! I don’t now why or how DMB is so underrated I think the are the best musicians in one band ever and the music is life changing ! And I agree about listener supported I would also add Central Park live
Live at Folsom Field and the 2005 Red Rocks shows are also two of my all time favorites.
here here!! It truely is! DMB is often outcase as a BRO friendly frat band.....LOL they are all masterclass musicians!
Those were my two faves for many years and saw them both many times.....but now I've matured and would rather see Steve Gadd
Dave Mathews and his Band are the most underrated musicians of ALL TIME!
early stuff for sure, now... not so much lol
Aaaand Carter does all the live back up vocals. So incredibly talented.
Wow Michael!
Best drummer still alive. Has a god-given gift of true ambidexterity (if that's a word.) He is truly ambidextrous.
Yes I need more vids of Carter! He's a legend Thomas

I’m not a drummer but I’ve been obsessed with that fill at 03:10 from the second I heard it when this video first came out. It still blows my mind!

Couldn't agree more! Absolute beast
man...i heard this guy play "Rapunzel" a while back and i was sold immediately!! This is guy's creativity is immense!! great video :)

He's one of those that can play busy and fancy without loosing the pocket. His pocket is so deep I don't mind, I love it!
You nailed it. Chops while still in the pocket
I'm a Metal guy and I can't help but to love Mr. Beaufords chops.. Love the guy!
So good
Carter is such great soul. He makes me smile every time I see him .

Legit cherish every live DMB show, mainly because Carter is a living legend and it's an absolute honor to see him play live.
Yes Matt!
Absolute boss level player
Carter is one of the FEW drummers that can make each extremity and use it independently. such a skill that can only be natural.
The way he compliments the instrumentality of the musicians and songs with the way he uses the symbols is phenomenal
Yes Patrick
I love Carter's drumming and have followed him since '92. Thank you for posting this. kenn
This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg with Carter... he is an endless well of talent and chops that I have yet to figure out how he's even human at this point.
He is flying smooth. Dave Matthews Band - GREAT MUSIC.
Indeed!
Listener supported is one of the greatest live music album/video concerts of all time. It's incredible. Even just watching Carter. Insane.
I think the Say Goodbye video is even better 😉
indeed. i havent seen it in years, but i remember the stick swap being so smooth.
Hey man you need to check out Carter Beauford #41 Unbelievable stuff in this one man!
agreed
#41 and Say Goodbye!
This level of greatness is proof of the Divine.
I have seen them live 17 times. Every single time Carter was on the big screen I would just be mesmerized by him. He’s a great talent!
It's so hard to be so involved like Carter is and still have it sound clean and open for other instruments to still come through so well. Dude is really a master and plays in such a unique way.
I thoroughly enjoyed that.

It's Carter Beauford, what did you expect.
TRUE! Soooo good
The way he subdivides the high--hat hits is a staple of his drumming. My favorite album of theirs is "Before these crowded streets"
Thanks Julien. I'll check it out!
One of the cleanest drummers ever with 100 percent original grooves
💯🤘
And live carters drums always sound better than any other kit I see live
That hit me right in the feels.

One of the greats for sure
So odd seeing Carter Beauford tearin' it up without chewing gum and blowing bubbles 😄
HAHA! Just another day at the office!
Yeah. This is in my top 3 all time drummers. This is why I go see DMB live every year. Carter.
So much variety in his playing. He can do anything.
Carter Beauford is one of the few drummers who I have seen do something that I do, that is, sometimes playing traditional grip with both hands at the same time. and I picked it up purely by accident before I ever heard of him.
Answer, no other band has it, and Carter is unique, a true master!!
you should do more Carter! there music changed my life when i was younger! it has SO MANY LAYERS! they are EPIC LIVE! their what music is supposed to be about!

Love him so so much 🙇🏽♀️ Been a fan since age eight.
On their LiveTrax album in Brazil, the crowd starts the show off chanting Carter's name and does so throughout the whole show. Hearing them acknowledge him so perfectly is the reason I keep going back to that album 😁
DMB is my favorite band of all time and this is by no means Carter’s best. Check out the stone.

Definitely one of my favorite play-along songs...
The best quote I’ve heard about Carter Beauford is he somehow overplays all the time yet it fits perfectly into the song structure.
Dude I think Carter Beauford is amazing and one of the best drummers around. I can listen to his drums all day long
I really enjoy DMB, been a fan for many years. Carter especially on the studio stuff really tasteful selection in the way he accents the music.

Talk about making it look easy! So freaking smooth.

Btw, have you heard any of the Bela fleck and DMB together!! It’s incredible!
@@mattkulesza7766 No I have not, but I'll definitely look for it now that you have mentioned it
Dave Matthews snagged Jeff Coffin from The Fleckstones I think.
You could watch this guy the rest of your life and never stop being amazed.
Yup Brett!
Andrew Rooney Drums I use to be a huge DMB fan but I’m not a drummer at all. The way I use to describe it to people, in my neophyte way, is that Carter basically hits the snare every four beats, but then EVERYTHING in between those beats is improv. It’s insane to watch live.
3:03 Actually he rides left-handed as well as the hi hats. His (2) rides are directly above the hats. He’s absolutely an open-handed rhythm legend.
Sitting in the pit watching him play for 3 hours straight is my happy place. Carter is a beast all hail Carter!
A beast of a drummer... a beast of a band.
Fun fact: Carter is left handed but very ambidextrous that's why his open handed playing is so good.
Makes sense. Thank you!
Late reply, but I'm not sure he is left handed, he explains in a dvd, that he first saw a drummer when he was 3, so set up drum kit in front of a mirror to copy his favorite drums, and at that age not realizing that the mirror made everything he was doing opposite to them, he then realized when older, so set the kit up the right way round and learnt to lead with his right hand, thus accidentally becoming ambidextrous.
Dvd is under the table and drumming, worth watching if you like his style.
@@levibaker4587 Very interesting. So ambidextrous by "design". Thanks for the insight.

Hes left handed. And a beast. One of my favs
