    This is roughly my 45th time watching this video and I still find new bits in it each time. Today I noticed the moment at 5:00 when the felt falls off the microphone on the high tom and I died. Thanks for everything Harry, you rock

      @tdpercussion 5 років тому +1

      Yeah It is incorrect, since a herta technically starts on the downbeat rather than after. but still good way to connect it to something in terms of how it "should" sound.

    Several members of my family play drums (including myself) and we all love Carter. In my opinion there has never been a more skilled drummer, the man is insane and is a creative genius. You are, BY FAR, the best person I have ever seen at attempting his style. You can cover his work very well, and for that, you have my full respect! Keep it up man! And thanks for the vid!

    Straight, to the point, accurate and definitely NOT a time waster. A solid explanation of a top drummer's moves. Sometimes things have to be slowed down for us non- professionals who need to do similar stuff in the studio and on stage. Cheers.

  • @RA2Music
    @RA2Music 4 роки тому +1

    Easily one of, if not the most, innovative players out there today. Every album is a masterclass in both technique and. more importantly, feel. There is no words to describe Carter's playing, they all fall way too short of capturing the true awesomeness.

    Great explanation of the open hand approach. Switching to open hand is TOUGH after years of playing cross handed. i like the freedom that open hand playing gives, but - quite a challenge. Takes serious time in front of the kit for it to even remotely become natural. Thank you for the explanation and the video specific to that. Very helpful.

    Harry, this is amazing! Not only are your tips fantastic, but your kit setup is something I have been contemplating for a long time. I love how you play a left setup open handed, but keep the right leg as the dominant kick. I cant wait to try this out. Keep it up man, your chops are clean!
