Keith is cool and modest. I caught most of those gigs in Dallas during “92-96 and Keith was intense and so riveting to watch. I was fortunate enough to have him as a double acquaintance and really know him. His technique was like no other and everyone would be mesmerized by his ghost notes and dynamics. Still holds true today, obviously! A natural player with a zest for drumming. Keith has marked an epoch in drumming history and has covered a lot of ground. True story. Thanks for sharing!
Imagine becoming *the* Steely Dan drummer. After years of speed-dating, they found their keeper. I attended a Keith Carlock drum clinic in London a few years ago, and sat about 10 feet from this genius. Extraordinary power. Extraordinary precision. Just brilliant.
We all went to school to learn how to read, to write and to speak. At any point in time you can choose to ignore or implement your training. It's your choice! You can choose the vocabulary you like to express a thought. Having more ideas and choices to draw from is better than having none.
And, I saw Keith play at Take Five in Dallas with Dallas Brass and Electric in late ‘92 in the West End Marketplace one weekend night. I met him after his solo at the bar and complimented because I was blown away. During his solo he did a crossover back and forth on his cymbals while using the double kick pedal all over the kit. It was riveting to watch. Later in the summer of ‘93 my brother met Keith and some of his band mates from UNT while starting an original project. I showed up at a rehearsal room, invited by my brother, to see them rehearse and said: “ Wow, it’s you again! Keith was their drummer. And, later Andy Timmons showed up to play on some of their recordings and at gigs. This was so surreal. I watched Keith during all of those years at various gigs. Look at him now. Amazing!
This guy plays drums for Steely Dan. Enough said. He MADE it

Imagine being so good you are able to take over one of Steve Gadd's roles.
Non è il massimo pulire il sotto della scarpa e poi passare la mano sul viso..... 😂
You could go to the best music school for 20 years and not sound like Keith Carlock
