    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.

    Love the Carter Beauford collection. I love his drumming as well. He's in my personal top three.
    1. George Hurley- the Minutemen
    2. Carter Beauford- DMB
    3. Mitch Mitchell- Hendrix
    Carter's high hat work is unmatched.

    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!

My favorite shows beside the CP show, 11/09-10/05(could be wrong on the dates) @ MSG. Sat behind the band in the 100's section, clear view of a drum God.Love your videos, this is certainly my favorite !!!!

  • @RA2Music
    @RA2Music 3 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.

I’m glad I discovered this channel and this video really inspired me to get back on Carter and his crazy playing. It’s just too damn bad that you have 65 haters (as of this comment) who realized they’ll never be able to play like this so they decided to give a thumbs down. Keep up the good work man!!
