Always thought his hi hat skills were crazy! I honestly think I got a lot of my hi hat skills from watching him over the years. He's one of The best for sure! Very tight crisp sound
This is absolutely Carter’s signature by far when it comes to his playing: syncopated rhythms on the hi hat. It’s easier said than done . That’s for sure .
Sheila Norris It all comes from playing on both sides of the kit in my opinion. Versatility goes through the roof if you can play on one side and then successfully transition to the other side . Opens up your playing big time .
Tim 'Herb' Alexander from Primus has a similar funk-inspired sound (albeit a bit more heavy) on the Frizzle Fry album. Check out their song 'Mr. Knowitall' for an example.
Is he left handed? His kit is set up for right hand but he leads the down beat with his left hand, which can be a challenging exercise for someone who's right handed.
best guess, his heel is probably resting and controlling how open the hats are when he's playing the has with his hands, but when he's keeping time with his foot, I'd place money he's using heel up.
As much as he can fluidly, and in the blink of an eye transition to-from-to-from the double bass/hat pedals, it’s seriously hard to tell. He’s a percussion magician, that’s for sure!
@Gavin Haney You really don't know that? Drummers cross their hands for the same reason they always write or play tennis with the same hand . The other one is much weaker and sloppier. Carter is one of the lucky few born with two right hands as it were. Are you one of them?
If I remember right, I think her said his dad had taken him to see drummers, and whilewatching them he would try and mimic them, but like a mirrored way, so he was playing left hand lead. So when he finally sat down behind a drum kit, he was used to using hide left hand lead as the drum set was set up right handed. The story is something like that.
Carter Beauford is the Bob Ross of drumming
So much taste and dynamic crispness... oof. What an awesome drummer.
His feel and dynamics are off the charts! And his hi hat work, OMG!!!

That hi-hat sounds so clean.

Im digging the open right technique with the rides on the left of a right handed set, definetly gives him an advantage on the back beats.

I have a feeling if I bought that exact same hihat, it wouldn't sound nearly as good when I played it.
love the way he thinks about playing
The one and only. What a drummer
Had many drum vhs tapes growing up. Learned so much from this guy years ago.

He is a great teacher. Anyone notice he seems to hold the sticks closer to the end?
Wow that pair of hats sounds AMAZING! anyone have any idea what hats those are? I'm pretty sure he plays zildjian but which hats??
13" Dyno Beat top/K Zildjian bottom.
An A custom brilliant on the top and a Z series on the bottom. 13”
God I love those K Custom Session Hats.
An A custom brilliant on the top and a Z series on the bottom. 13”
@@albertogravagno2619 , he used K sessions at a point
Those hats are so crisp I wanna eat them watching movies
Aaaamazing
i think they ran in with a camera and said "rant about using the hi hat"
If Carter Beauford is going to talk, we would want him to rant about a hi hat.
Is he left handed? His kit is set up for right hand but he leads the down beat with his left hand, which can be a challenging exercise for someone who's right handed.
He is actually an open handed drummer, which is usually the result of a left handed drummer learning to play on a right handed kit from a Early age..
An absolutely amazing drummer but Jesus he speaks in a syncopated way... just get it out Carter!!
wait till you see him walking
Thanks for the upload! CB is really great drummer. What's he been doing lately?
Cool, good to know!
Stutter counter on this guy.
anyone knows if he plays the hat heel up or down?
The Union Beats - Both. Just depends on what he’s doing with his other foot.
best guess, his heel is probably resting and controlling how open the hats are when he's playing the has with his hands, but when he's keeping time with his foot, I'd place money he's using heel up.
Most of the time up

Legendary
He said its music
not a drummer here and curious as to why he hits the hi hat with his left stick instead of his right like most drummers iv seen??

Cuz he CAN. Open handed technique. Google it. Then burn ur sticks
