*HEY FRIENDS! This hot red 'RIGHT LEFT REPEAT' Tee is available in the official merch shop in a few different colours. Link in description. Enjoy the video, man. Also, thanks and welcome all new subscribers!! We're almost at 100K!* 😝🤘🏽
Carter's open handedness is a big built in advantage for him. What makes him stand out is that he plays the kit as a full compositional instrument like a whole percussion section rather than just a drum kit. So the hats for carter are less a time keeper in a traditional sense and more of just another voice to orchestrate tastefully
In last 3/5 years Rob's playing has changed a lot. His growth( in sound , vocabolary and technical facilities) is so easy to feel and see, that i think every serious/pro drummer know what i am talking about!! Continue like that bro, keep on drumming... Marco
@@spagzs I've just sat foot on his pedals. Never play as I don't wanna mess anything up prior to the show. Still on Yamaha recording customs and a Ludwig Alex vh sig rosewood snare I found for them. Zildjian as usual
Adam Parker I watched a video done by Harry Miree where he interviewed Carters drum tech. He’s a super cool guy and looks like he loves his job. That must be awesome hanging with him, you must pick up a lot of tips. Carter is a phenomenal drummer and adds a lot to the bands sound. He seems like a great guy. Cheers.
He does a lot of 32nd notes played with the tips of his sticks on the hats as well. How he mixes the 16th/32nd’s into songs is just a step above brilliance. Great video, Sir! I too have him as an influence on hi-hat magic.
LOVE Carter Beauford. Solid grooves that serve (and drive) the song, but so much originality, style, and taste. So glad to see this in my feed. He and Gadd are my favs. Great job breaking it down.
I like your conceptual way of explaining this, thinking in terms of a Matrix of 16th notes. I recall reading in an old issue of MD that Carter thought of it exactly this way himself. Great lesson!
Mr. Brown, I appreciate the way you breakdown your information in your tutorials, I think it great the way that you explain everything. Some people when they do these tutorials focus on how good that they can play, not realizing that they are trying to show some techniques
Dude, I love you ... literally the first things you said were what I was thinking. Stewart and Carter are two of my fav drummers and combining those rhythms bring a plethora of weapons to the arsenal that is the hit-hat
Carter was one of the first non metal drummers that made my jaw drop as a kid. He and Simon Phillips are the reason I started playing open handed and its basically taken over now. Great video, even though I found it a little late.
Great video Rob. Just like from the dvd under the table and drumming, I really like how straight forward you break it down by explaining it and the principal goes with their song Satellite in like a 6/8 form. Great vid Rob 🥁🎶
Carter is one of my favorite drummers. His Hi-Hat style is not only unique but super cool and just sounds really awesome. Thanks for this breakdown Rob. Now I understand the "science" behind what he is doing. Once again, a terrific lesson!
Thanks rob for turning me onto carter Buford. Just watched #41 . there is so much about his playing that is beyond exceptional. I have never seen a better example of one who is truly ambidextrous .
Love this , I started doing this recently and it's become exactly the way I develop new grooves, start with a farely busy 16th not groove and start removing notes. It's been unbelievably instructive and has improved my playing significantly !! Great Vid Rob !! Keep up the excellent instruction !!
Somewhere around 1993 I was riding my bike around Greenville, NC. Heard some killer drumming sound bouncing off the buildings. Went & sat on the sidewalk outside a small bar & listened for a while. Was the DMB playing in a small restaurant in front of maybe 15 people. Was instantly attracted to Carter’s playing.
Carter isn't left-handed. The very first time he set drums up for himself (remember, he started playing when he was 3-4 years old), he was trying to set them up the same way he saw others setting them up. He saw the hi-hats on the right side, the ride cymbal on the left, and the bass drum played with the left foot (and hi-hats played with the right foot). So, that's how he set his drums up. He wasn't old enough to understand what he was doing. So, he developed on a left-handed setup and thus he developed a natural left-hand lead just like how we right-handed players lead and do all riding patterns with our right. As he grew older, he realized he was playing like a lefty on a left-handed setup and decided to switch to a right-handed setup, and then he tried to play right-handed. When he did this, he of course didn't like the results. So then he decided to play like a lefty on the right-handed setup, and he discovered a whole new world of possibilities and abilities and he loved it! I learned this from 'Under the Table and Drumming'. He also said in that video that he might still set up a left-handed setup for straight-ahead jazz gigs, but most of the time, he sets up a right-handed setup with the ride(s) on his left and plays true open-handed playing (and obviously, he always has a right-handed setup at DMB gigs). Now this video here isn't showing true open-handed playing. True open-handed playing is where you are leading (and riding on the ride cymbal and hi-hats) with your left hand on a right-handed setup, or leading with your right hand on a left-handed setup. Or in other words, playing like a lefty on a right-handed setup, or playing like a righty on a left-handed setup. It's not where you're just playing with both sticks on the hi-hat but still leading with your right hand on a right-handed setup or with your left on a left-handed setup. That's just 2 hands on the hi-hats, which is nothing all that unique even though yes, 2-handed hi-hat work is something Carter does quite a bit - but he does it while leading with his left which gives him unique possibilities that right-handed lead on a right-handed setup doesn't have - or left-handed lead on a left-handed setup. If you're right-handed, then leading with your left means your left hand is doing all riding patterns and it's also your down beat hand while your right hand is your up-beat hand. They take on the exact opposite roles as they have now, and it feels completely unnatural. So, 2 hands playing "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1" would be LRLRLRLRL instead of RLRLRLRLR. A big part of Carter's unique sound and impressive hi-hat work is due to the fact that he rides and leads with his left hand on a right-handed setup. So if we really want to get into Carter's impressive hi-hat work, we would have to learn how to play true open-handed playing. It would be like learning how to ride the Backwards Brain Bicycle. If you turn the handlebars to the left, you go right. If you turn the handlebars to the right, you go left. While possible to master, it's quite difficult to do so if you can already ride a normal bicycle naturally. So again, open-handed playing isn't defined as simply doing 2-handed hi-hat work. It's where you ride the hi-hats with your left hand instead of your right on a right-handed setup, or you ride the hi-hats with your right-hand on a left-handed setup - and you stay consistent by always leading with your riding hand when you do fills.
Thanks Rob! I've always liked Carters playing but never understood what other drummers were going on about when they say his drumming blew their mind. I think I'm getting it! Going to have to go back and listen to their tracks.
I for one am a right handed/footed drummer who has learned to ride the HH with my left. I can ride with my left and right hand equally as well. This ambidextrous/open-handed technique has served me well over the years. I am glad that I put in the time to learn how to ride the HH with my left.
No way, you always hit on something I dig!!! 1995 I heard What Would you say' while I was sleeping. The hat pattern woke me up. I rarely find patterns amazing stuff! Btw, the stick under my arm, has me relaxed so much quicker. Great advice!!
Liked, subscribed and commented because this was actually a super cool video. Carter is a legend and I've always oogled over his playing and dreamed that I'd be able to some day play something that even slightly resembled his style. I'm in my first week of actually drumming though lol so it's going to be a very very long time before that resemblance takes shape 😂😂😂. That actually made a lot of sense to a new drummer though so nice job. The whole concept of continuing to do The strike motions, without making actual contact helped me out a lot.
This is awesome and SUPER helpful..I'm a righty but for some reason I HAVE to play open handed..I can kinda cross but not well. Man I JUST watched some of carters playing the other day and was completly blown away and enamored..just LISTENING to his play helped me to to turn off my structured drumming part of the brain and be more creative!
Ok Rob, as if I didn't have enough things to do already, now I must go nerd out on the DMB to really get a feel for your enthusiasm 🙄 . Totally going to enjoy it btw, thanks for the great content yet again.
Thanks for this. I'm going to take this and work out reading "new breed" with that concept...steady hand and foot ostinato and read down the syncopated 16's section. Still one of my favorite solo's (I'm an Elvin worshiper mind you) is on Under the Table....Lover Lay Down. That end solo/groove just knocked me off my throne and still does (gonna listen to it now:). Also sweet to hear 'Groove Responsibly' in context, LOL...now I can buy the T. Much love and gratitude.
Very nice ! Especially enjoyed when you played the snare on 2,4 with the hi hat doing 32nds....or you could look at it as the snare on just beat 3 with 16ths on the hi hat....And yes, groove responsibly by not playing this with your cover band that plays YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG !!!" Thanks Rob for the vid !
I heard dave mathews for the first time in 94/95 on a small radio station. I almost had to pull my car over hearing ants marching.. next day I tried to explain what I heard to my band buddies. I really couldn't lol all I came up o with was "this drummer is awesome, theres a dude with a fiddle ..some kind of wind instrument a good guitar and bass player and guy with a goofy voice!!".. well I didnt catch the name of the band at the time and it drive me crazy wanting to hear the song again.. short time later (spring break 95) they show up in MTV spring break live. Me and the couple band buddies were watching and I just stood up and yelled "shit, theres the thing I told yas about!!" Long story short I loves me some carter.. lol
Haha, I love this explanation. I always liked Dave's voice, but it can sound funny. The band does play really well together without one member standing out too much, except for on solos.
Excellent instruction! You broke that down in the most effective manner I can conceive. Thanks! I went straight to my kit and got after it. Although I’ve used this occasionally through the years, it’s always been as a brief syncopated variation when playing straight. Following your instruction instantly gave me some sweet@ss shuffle feels that came effortlessly. Love it!
Broken 16ths are just so great..I usually use in short solo. As not to throw anyone with the broken sound...but might use in normal beat More... especially if it's jazzy... amazing as usual😁😁
Rob Brown, I always look forward to your videos. Very cool and uselful instruction. By the way, I gave my friend Andy Newmark (if you don’t know him, believe me you’ve heard him) a Groove Responsibly shirt at the end of his recent tour with Nils Lofgren. Peace.
🤔🤔 yeah, i may have gotten some of my hihat extras from carter. been so long since i've been doing it.. i probably do more ghosting on the hats than i do on the snare...
I remember seeing DMB, I was visiting my parents for the weekend and Ants Marching video came on TV. My jaw just dropped, who the hell are these guys and who in the hell is that drummer!
Very nice! Although I do like the Under the Table and Dreaming album I'm not a big fan of DMB, but I COMPLETELY respect Carter as a player. BTW, I'm a pure lefty drummer myself.... I'm not very ambidextrous and have trouble playing righty kits (though I have been working on it). Been trying to get my hihat mojo back as well. This helps.
Great vid, i'm always surprised to see you come up with so many interesting things. i wonder what kind of video you'll release for the 100k subscribers
im a left handed drummer, i play a lefty kit but have had to play open handed a lot over the years, it doesn't seem like a big deal on the physical side, but open handers usually run their hats down a lot lower than cross handers, that physically makes these concepts much easier to execute and land more of the off beat accenting
Lefty who plays righty here... i play prolly 70% crossed and 30% open. I've always thought leading with the right on 16th notes 'feels' closed and natural to me... 😂
I’m preparing to start playing in the style of Carter. I going in for elective surgery next week to have four more arms attached because that will be the only way I can keep up. The week after I am having my left and right hemispheres of my brain aligned so that I can do the syncopated hi hat sorcery he does
Great breakdown of Mr B's style, and the whole "buried sixteenths" concept! 🖖 I started gigging on hand percussion hard in the VERY early 2000s. Trying to reimagine Carter's (seemingly) five limb style, with only two hands, took a lot of interpretation and reimagining. Another drummer who used a lot of "buried sixteenths" was John Molo (of Bruce Hornsby and the range). He is often overlooked cuz the drum tone was so 80s that it almost sounded like machine. Sometimes I cringe when people call "the way it is". Cuz they prob. Won't play it the way it goes! Lol
*HEY FRIENDS! This hot red 'RIGHT LEFT REPEAT' Tee is available in the official merch shop in a few different colours. Link in description. Enjoy the video, man. Also, thanks and welcome all new subscribers!! We're almost at 100K!* 😝🤘🏽
Watched your tuning workshop video and im here subbed!! Thanks for your easy to understand video. Edit: yeah, the tuning work very well.
Rob Brown wicked! I wish he would switch to Paiste.
@@spagzs Uh, yeah, he plays Paiste
Zac Drake I was referring to Carter...I wrote the comment under the wrong post
Rain Song73 that fill at the end of voices between the snare and the ride bell...awesome
i really like the way Carter plays the hi-hats. Watching him play #41 in a studio session on youtube really opened my eyes to his style.
That's from Under the Table and Drumming.
Carter's open handedness is a big built in advantage for him. What makes him stand out is that he plays the kit as a full compositional instrument like a whole percussion section rather than just a drum kit. So the hats for carter are less a time keeper in a traditional sense and more of just another voice to orchestrate tastefully
This is one of the best explanations of his playing style I've ever heard
Ben Frank - Very well said

Carter is my #1 for drums. Lucky enough to be friends with his tech and check his kit out every summer. Great stuff Rob! Love it
Adam Parker that’s awesome. Did you ever get to play the? What’s he using now?
@@spagzs I've just sat foot on his pedals. Never play as I don't wanna mess anything up prior to the show. Still on Yamaha recording customs and a Ludwig Alex vh sig rosewood snare I found for them. Zildjian as usual

I give credit to how I play drums to Travis Barker.
Thats a dream come true

I’ve been getting inspiration from Carter since 1998. A monster player with such creativity. Great video mate

really appreciate your videos and your teaching style Rob Brown! I've been playing drums for 40 years and still learning thanks to you!
It helps to have a great band behind you. Carter and the band are beyond this world.
Carter was one of the first non metal drummers that made my jaw drop as a kid. He and Simon Phillips are the reason I started playing open handed and its basically taken over now. Great video, even though I found it a little late.

Ive been doing this for a long time now as Carter has been my number one influence but it is really cool to see someone break it down like this.
“Groove responsibly!” Heck yeah Big Rob 🙌🔥💯
You are so smooth, I could watch you play for hours! Thank for another fantastic video, Rob!
Thanks man 😊🙏🏽
Always have loved the way Carter does this, ever since I heard DMB when I was in like middle school ha! Great video.
Middle school. Geeez, man. How old are we 😐
A+ for describing a rhythm by focusing on the notes that aren't there. Love it.
Great playing Rob!
Great stuff! Thanks. I also love how he plays double bass while keeping the hi hats closed, placing the left foot on both pedals.
Thanks for the inspiration Beat Down. I'm going to go try this on my kit right after i send this. Word 'em up Rob. Peace, Unity, Laughter and Love. S
Going to church right now (drumming today) can’t wait to come back home & watch this!
& I’m back 😋 time to learn
Man I love this lesson it changed to way I think about playing drums
Thanks rob for turning me onto carter Buford. Just watched #41 . there is so much about his playing that is beyond exceptional. I have never seen a better example of one who is truly ambidextrous .
What a great teacher you are. I really admire your job, man. Congrats!
Incredible communication skill. Great job
Groove responsibly! Great advice
you are the coolest, right on the wavelength that inspires me best❤️
Ants Marching live is a MASTERPIECE on the drums!!!!
I jus recently transcribed "What Would You Say?" and you explained so great everything I heard there. Amazing video.
Very well done. Thank you so much. Broken 16ths is such a key word for me now. Love your approach.
Thanks man , I always learn something from you ! And as an added bonus :
Groove Responsibly ! 👍😃
Love this , I started doing this recently and it's become exactly the way I develop new grooves, start with a farely busy 16th not groove and start removing notes. It's been unbelievably instructive and has improved my playing significantly !! Great Vid Rob !! Keep up the excellent instruction !!
This is actually a very neat concept to learn how to play like this. Great video!
Those two, btw, Rob, are my hat gurus, too ;) The first song I heard was Ants Marching, and I DIED right there :)
Super Kool Rob, taking it to the kit right now! Thanks and Blessings!!!
Rob, your videos are clear, fun, and super helpful. Thanks and keep 'em coming!
such a great video,love your relaxed style, can't wait for the next video, always a treat
Somewhere around 1993 I was riding my bike around Greenville, NC. Heard some killer drumming sound bouncing off the buildings. Went & sat on the sidewalk outside a small bar & listened for a while. Was the DMB playing in a small restaurant in front of maybe 15 people. Was instantly attracted to Carter’s playing.
That’s pretty freakin cool
Really appreciate your approach of "breaking it down" in concept and to visualize that concept. Thanks, and as usual great vids man!

Thanks for sharing.....more to add to the tool box.
Very good man, as always!
Carter is THE Drummer.
Yup 💯
My top four drummers (not in any order) are Travis Barker, Carter, Jimmy "the Rev", and John Bonham.
While Rob is THE man
I for one am a right handed/footed drummer who has learned to ride the HH with my left. I can ride with my left and right hand equally as well. This ambidextrous/open-handed technique has served me well over the years. I am glad that I put in the time to learn how to ride the HH with my left.

Always great stuff! Cheers mate!

Brilliant lesson
Thanks man 🙂
Groove Responsibly - Love it!
Thanks for another Great Video!

do we change the lead hand on hi hat for this?
Great drumming! I got some great Inspiration from that video 🙂

The ultimate thing for playing pop-covers. It got me weekly job one day. No joke. Find that sub and boom! You learned a beat.
Excellent instruction!
You broke that down in the most effective manner I can conceive.

Awesome video as usual.
Love your Channel!
I remember seeing DMB, I was visiting my parents for the weekend and Ants Marching video came on TV. My jaw just dropped, who the hell are these guys and who in the hell is that drummer!
That’s generally everyone’s first reaction 💯
13:24 That needs to go on a shirt! An image of a drum set with the phrase "Groove Responsibly" on it.
*looked it up* Oh wait, it already exists.

thanks for great drum stuff rob! hi-hats don't forget LEVEL 42 drummer Phil gould. and you get super talented bassist MARK KING! win! win!
Carter hits it, thats how he stands out, gotta thump it to make t sound. Boom
Eita pegaaaa toop lembra-se bateras unidos jamais serão vencidos 🥁👍

You're a gooder tutor! 👍 😂 🎉
Lefty who plays righty here... i play prolly 70% crossed and 30% open.
I've always thought leading with the right on 16th notes 'feels' closed and natural to me... 😂
Great video.
Well shit. . . Subscribed dawg.
That last beat you played sounded like “Come On Come On”
Wonderful!
Slick dude just slick.
Carter is in a league of his own.
From day one 💯
I’m preparing to start playing in the style of Carter. I going in for elective surgery next week to have four more arms attached because that will be the only way I can keep up. The week after I am having my left and right hemispheres of my brain aligned so that I can do the syncopated hi hat sorcery he does
Very cool vid. I'm not even a drummer. Still dig it.
Great breakdown of Mr B's style, and the whole "buried sixteenths" concept! 🖖
I started gigging on hand percussion hard in the VERY early 2000s.
Trying to reimagine Carter's (seemingly) five limb style, with only two hands, took a lot of interpretation and reimagining.
Another drummer who used a lot of "buried sixteenths" was John Molo (of Bruce Hornsby and the range). He is often overlooked cuz the drum tone was so 80s that it almost sounded like machine.
Sometimes I cringe when people call "the way it is". Cuz they prob. Won't play it the way it goes! Lol
Hey Rob, great vid as usual. Your snare sounds killer, are you playing rimshots on the backbeat?
I just subscribed! Love your videos. Which cymbals do you use? They sound amazing!
Yep!
