Rolls so clean coulda had em for thanksgiving dinner
was gonna comment a similar joke. Omg those doubles
I love rolls and thanksgiving
yes. his name is actually Carter M. Clean.
And dripping with budda!
one of my favorite underrated details of carter’s playing is you can never catch him in the act of turning his snares on lol
🥷🏻
I like to imagine that he's actually a really terrifying person but only to his drums. Like when he walks into the studio as he's opening the door he's like ''You all better be nice and in tune in there!!'' and they're just so scared that they tune themselves. I guess he does beat them all the time.
What happens behind closed doors, eh?
@@cartermclean mind sharing which mallets you used in this video?
it's at 4:03
as he's doing the ride and kick you can hear the strings straighten against the drum
Now that you mention it, I never did😬
Drums are capable of melodies, this proves it
This is not just fabulous drumming. This soothes the soul and clears the mind :)
Wanna know what really makes this such an awesome performance? One word, Dynamics.
He also has that Weckl'esque flow, never ending supply of well linked ideas.
3:29 that one touch on the ride was so satisfying
They say that on quiet nights you can still hear that crash over the hi-hat ring.
This man redefines what i think of and hear when it comes to the drum set. The soundscape's he's able to create are mesmerizing. In my opinion, the most musically inspiring drummer/percussionist on the internet.
What a showcase of extraordinary master of craft. Absolutely in awe.
Thanks!
@@cartermclean Carter, you're what Federer is to tennis..nuance, intelligence, rhythm, balance and just purely beautiful to watch!
A beautiful story told on a drumset
Typically when I see mallets on a kit my attention span is rather quick and I want to move on but this is definitely not one of them solos. This is so musical, tasteful and precisely played. Nice freakin job.
Giving it a try 👍🏻
Every drum and cymbal is picked and paired so perfectly
A superb skill you don't hear much of these days that's musical, powerful in its own way, with a high reverence for traditional disciplines without the steroid show-hitting of the drums. Very nice and pleasurable to listen to. Thanks!
Best tuned drums on the planet. No muffling needed :)
A masterclass in dynamics, among many other things
beauteeeful!!!
Carter McLean is on a completely different level. This is like watching an amazing film
love the little groove at 5.33 circa
Nice! I like how it has movements; Beginning, progression of ideas and conclusion.
I was bamboozled by what I just watch... simply amazing... extremely melodic and artistic, not just a technical showcase (wich in is own way was unbelivable) but a story told by the means of percussion!
Every aspect of your playing is phenomenal... But the control and speed on those single stroke rolls is just sensational.. 👏👏👏
I love the variety of sounds that he is able to get out of the kit. I think it's the most "esoteric" part of musicianship, been able to subtly manipulate your touch to get a different content. Really amazing work.
Totally agree.
The high tuning also facilitates what great sounds he's able to pull out of this kit/configuration.
That and his finger dexterity just floors me.
There is a duo record with Wadada Leo Smith and Ed Blackwell that i love so much. It works very well because of the tuning of the drum, very deep and resonant at times and punchy and bassy at others. It's very melodic drumming i strongly reccomend it. :)
Deep exploration,textures, moments are protagonist in this art work.
this is soo good i wish this was on Spotify so i could add this to my playlist!
Beautiful Playing Carter
I liked this video while the ad was still playing.
Damn those toms sound good. Almost sound like timpani's
@06:45 OMGGGGG literally all i'm striving for in practice. that single to double stroke transition was fucking GOD MODE!!! you're the best drum teacher i've ever had!!!!
Dude, you made me stick to the screen for ten minutes! Great job man, really!!
Sonically mesmerizing. Technical, yet artistic. Transition from singles to doubles...flawless. Well done sir. Well done.
Great way to end the day. Thanks!
What a FLOW!
it has a bit of a Bozzio vibe, really beautiful.
Remo coated ambassadors on maple toms sound exceptionally sweet when played by drumming guru Mr. McLean
Beautiful sound, beautiful playing. Thank you!
That was absolutely beautiful in every way. Thanks for sharing, man!
I could watch this all day. Just lovely.
Probably your best work. You run the gambit without it feeling like chapters. Maybe the first time I thought of one of your videos as a full piece that should be pressed. Well done. Makes me want to avoid using my left foot as much as I do.
Duuuude that whole set up is so beautiful... A joy to watch and listen as always.
You really made me start practicing my rudiments again. Those effortless fill are so controlled and dynamic I’m gonna binge replay this all day
Truly phenomenal as always. Incredible touch and melodic playing.
Fantastic on all levels! Well done.
I needed this so bad on a day like today. Musical, dynamic, fluid, wonderful. Thanks Carter.
Beautiful. Smooth, incredible, such fancies. 🥁🎶🎵
Absolutely stunning. Musical, engaging, sounds incredible...... beautiful.
Just wonderful.... thank you for sharing.
What a creativity … great music !!
Thanks for this drum oprah!
That was really good story. I enjoied it.
it just becomes so therapeutic at a point ... amazing drumming...so clean and musical...wow!!!
Another video from which to learn many important things. Thank you very much!
Made me rethink my practice today and get my head out of the books and just play. Great sound, Carter thanks!
Amazing playing, and sound curation. Incredible! Thanks for sharing
As always, just beautiful. Love that snare with natural skin, and tone of toms, playing so fluid and engaging. Was a great way to enjoy my morning coffee.
So musical!
Again, this is how you feel a rhythmical story out.. this is about the ear fellas.
Absolutely caught up in the journey of this piece. Musical, emotional, dynamical, unpredictable and left me with a sense of peace. Very cool Carter! Thx 😊
So soothing it helps me sleep
never seen a cleaner single stroke roll
Magnificent. A soothing yet enlightening sonic-journey.
That's some MUSIC right there!!. One of the finest musicians I've heard in many years!...........Melody, harmony, themes, dynamics, tone........and a bitchen watch!
I hear some ruminations on DeJohnette, Bruford, and a not so well known drummer named Masahiko Togashi.
Bravo sir !! ;:-)
This went perfect with my morning coffee! Thanks buddy 😃🤘
Superb.
What dynamic! Fantastic!
Wow this gave me the same feeling as when I hear Elvin Jones... like a gate being opened to another dimension.. 👍🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful sounds and musical intent
Beautiful!
Beautiful drumming, thank you
Beautiful, musical, masterful.
Great playing, very inspiring and awesome sounding drumset!
There's not a CM video that hasn't immediately captivated me with a sense of awe and inspiration, man I would love to have that freedom around the kit. Impeccable and melodic.
mmmCLEAN
Just got your book as a gift. Looking forward to diving into it. Amazing playing, sir.
That was sonically pleasing.
Master... No words.. Pure music!!!
Absolutely dazzling.
Superbe, que de musique.
Merci beaucoup.
Pleins de belles pensées pour vous et les vôtres.
Amicalement.

Stunning. I'm very much a kick-snare-cymbals kinda guy typically and this just gave me so many ideas to experiment with toms more.
Hey Mr. Carter, fabulous drumming! I love lyrical drum solos!
Exquisite playing Carter. The drums and cymbals sound wonderful. What a great sound the Ludwigs have. And, the snare is a perfect addition. Thanks for sharing this very creative demonstration of music supported by amazing technique.
Thank you Ralph 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻!
So musical
Really good man. Fantastic
I'm not one to watch solos but this was soo tasty. What a great conversation, thank you
The piano parts with the mallets were ASMR for me. Lol
Beautiful, man. What a great way to start my day.
So beautiful,🎶👌🌈👏👏👏 ten minutes of pure soul and grace in this drumming
Sound 's wonderful...Thks a lot ...it's a great source of inspiration 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for listening
Simply mesmerizing
I found your channel a few months back after starting to learn the drums by stumbling across one of your tuning videos. Your playing is sensational and inspires me every day to keep shedding and push my creative boundaries. You're a true force. Thank you for sharing your talent and hard work with all of us!
Could you point me to the tuning video any chance?
@@ppeppe I can't seem to find it anywhere anymore, so I'm guessing he must've deleted it. What I vaguely remember is that he said he tunes by feel/by ear rather than with a tuner and that he tends to keep his kick unmuffled. Beyond that it sounds like he tends to keep his drums tuned fairly high and doesn't dampen them much.
@@maxton1506 yes because jass
This a freaking movie.... So good in everything
Just amazing
Que buen solo Carter!!! Posee una musicalidad y dinamicas excelentes!!!!
very nice, love the tuning
Speechless. Superb as always
Thank you 🙏🏻
Mister McLean i listened to all your drums solo and i want to congratulate you ,what you propose is really nice ,i must say that besides a refined taste a great technique ,it was really a pleasure to listen to you ,thank you, a greeting from Italy by Daniele.
Fantastic playing ... Reminds me of Billy Cobham’s Spectrum
Delicious gourmet for the ears and the brain.
man what a treat you are to listen too. Your sound and feel is so damn amazing!! Really inspiring, keep it up :DD Greetings from Norway
Great. Sweet sound!
Sounds amazing..
The Luddies sound good, but you take it to another dimension with melodic rhythm.
