    This conversation goes way behind every geek drum q&a with a tech. It's just like the energy between the band and the fans: mutual respect and admiration. Keep up being so curious, dude! Good things will keep coming your way. 🙏

    I'm 41 now, and I have owned a studio, I have made guitars, I have written my own songs, played festivals, lost an amazing 63 year old drummer that my soul will never be the same since losing, and I remember learning how to play "so much to say" on acoustic (properly!) while singing, and I cannot put into words how much I love what these amazing souls have done for me!. Love is the only way I can describe it. THANK YOU!. I remember watching from binoculars at the Gorge MANY years ago, and watching Carter behind the fence at the tour busses, and helping some roadie and showing him how to load things while smiling and being kind the whole time, and to this day it has stuck with me!. I got to see Leroi before he elevated beyond us, and I felt all of their energy EVERY time I saw them play!. I wanted to do the same with my music, and sadly life had other plans, and now the song Shotgun speaks to me. This band AND THE CREW that is their family has affected my life in a way I am having trouble putting into words, while trying not to sound like some kinda loonie toon, stalker crazed maniac lol. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I hope/wish that everyone involved in "DMB" could see this, and know that I am grateful beyond words, and I wish you all the best!! THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH!!. I wish I could have jammed with you guys. Keep well and stay safe in this crazy world and keep singing from the windows to each other!.

    I used to stagehand in Virginia Beach and always would track Henry down to see what I could do to help him with setting up the kit. At the beginning he always shooed me away, then finally he warmed up to me ever so slightly (haha) and he would let me polish some of the cymbals. I was a pig in shit in those brief moments. And in hearing and reading about how engaging and welcoming Carter was with his fans - I remember mustering up the slightest bit of balls to introduce myself to him during a lunch break and unfortunately he wasn't very receptive to it. It happens, and there could've been a number of reasons why he just wasn't feeling it, but I was so bummed afterwards - and my love for the band started to dwindle after that. Don't get me wrong. No ill will or resentment - I like to think I just caught him at a bad time, but I owe a lot to Carter. I was a lot like you are now but back in 1996-2002 - same passion, but not nearly as well versed as you are. I ate, breathed, drank, bled, and shit DMB, and Carter was the penultimate drummer - literally the ONLY drummer I wanted to listen to. Since then, I still see shows and like their music but the passion with which I experienced the band and Carter has all but fizzled out. But I'm definitely grateful to Carter, the band, to them all, and to Henry for letting me polish those cymbals 👍.

I figured no other fan would’ve heard that but as a drummer and sound engineer I heard that right away and I can’t believe you asked that friggin question! Thank you I feel whole and complete

    So cool to hear the perspective of the tech behind the curtain. He's running around patching holes while the whole time the audience has no idea! Also catching that throw off in the live recording must have taken a killer ear Harry. I would have just assumed edge hits on the snare or a partially broken stick!

    I 2004 I bought "Under the Table and Drumming", the Carter Beauford instructional DVD, at a drum convention as a penny pinching college student. Got home, opened it up all super exited, pulled the DVD out and the disc cracked from the plastic in the center holding it in place. Never even got to watched it once. Couldn't afford to re-buy it. I can still feel the disappointment when I think about it.
    Anyway, sob story aside...great video dude! Loved it!

    I was late to the game with Dave Matthews, but my wife is a superfan. I've seen the band 3 times with her and each time the sound and performance were much MUCH better than the last (and the first one definitely didn't suck). He isn't kidding when he says they are constantly looking for ways to take it to the next level. I've got as much respect for this whole crew as I do for any band out there.

    Harry, you amaze me every time I see you. Not only are you a phenominal drummer in your own right, you are also a really great interviewer! Henry seems like a real gem of a guy and really humble about what he does (and agreed these guys get shamefully little credit for what they do all day every day). It's easy to see why they keep him on board. Thanks for this, and like the others say, keep going all the way to Carter himself. I have to believe he would love to be interviewed by THE DUDE! Much love Harry :)

    This is an awesome interview. Thank you so much. My favorite part, Dave on the spectrum. No seriously, ALL of it was great. What a humble man. Nashville show is coming up in few days, my town. If not sold out yet, hopefully I'll be able to get tickets. I've loved DMB since the early 90's when first heard them & given a cassette tape by the Vanderbilt University student radio station DJ. I saw DJ in the hall when I was leaving the darkroom where I'd been developing film, asked what band he was playing. Often played local bands. He went to check the name, handed me a cassette tape, said it was an extra one so gave it to me!! Wish I could put my hands on it now!!

    I remember my first battle of the bands back in high school. my older brother set up my kit (I was in a thrash band) first song was heavy more than fast so just using one foot on the bass, as soon as the 2nd song started I went straight into double bass and about a minute in, the bass flew forward and I dropped off throne and disappeared behind the kit trying to get everything back in place. It was nerve wracking but funny to look back on lol I also had to use the sandbag trick for my cymbal stands. Been 12 years since that first time playing to a crowd, learned a lot since then
