    "Play as many as you can until you land on the one" that's just my philosophy for fills in general

    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

    This is sick. The closest I've ever seen to anyone being able to duplicate Carter's sound and technique.

      Except it's wrong.

    • @tdpercussion
      @tdpercussion 5 лет назад +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.

  • @ermesborgnino4704
    @ermesborgnino4704 7 лет назад +1

    Straight, to the point, accurate and definitely NOT a time waster. A solid explanation of a top drummer's moves. Sometimes things have to be slowed down for us non- professionals who need to do similar stuff in the studio and on stage. Cheers.

  • @RA2Music
    @RA2Music 4 года назад +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.

  • @noellpro
    @noellpro 4 года назад +1

    Amazing, the ease, the simplicity when YOU do it (hell its so complex!!!!) and YOUR respect of Carter's gift to drumming...love your tunning of the drums! THANKS a BUNCH

  • @bigpopakap
    @bigpopakap 7 лет назад +14

    Dude I've watched this video like 8 times and I'm still amazed that you can even keep up with Carter, let keep up enough to know so much as to be able to succinctly give 5 themes. Like, I'm impressed with step 1, and this video requires mastery of 8,000 steps

    Dude, you rock!
    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!

  • @ryanclark895
    @ryanclark895 2 года назад

    Ever since I saw carter play 41 I havent been on the same. I've been on a journey to learn his technique. I must have watched the video at least 1000 times. I only discovered it about a month ago..m

  • @crocholiday
    @crocholiday 4 года назад

    I had a drummer half as good as you that was super animated and fun to watch play like you are. The
    only time in my life I've burst into sobbing tears was when he said he was moving
    back to Colorado. I still have PTSD from it. Love your chops dude. Brilliant drummer and great videos.

    You forgot to mention that he does this all why chewing Bubble Gum and blowing bubbles!!! He was why I saw this master over 35 times. He got me hooked on this band. 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 !!!!

    Very nice, Sir. The first 15 years I played a RH kit with LH leading...then my teacher (Grant Menefee) showed me the advantages of playing a RH kit open handed w RH lead.
    Dig your playing and sense of humor.

  • @ermesborgnino4704
    @ermesborgnino4704 7 лет назад

    Great explanation of the open hand approach. Switching to open hand is TOUGH after years of playing cross handed. i like the freedom that open hand playing gives, but - quite a challenge. Takes serious time in front of the kit for it to even remotely become natural. Thank you for the explanation and the video specific to that. Very helpful.

  • @karabonstein

    Open high hat on the downbeat instead of the upbeat as in Two Step and Too Much is a very Carter Beauford thing too, if not all that complicated.

    1. George Hurley- the Minutemen
    2. Carter Beauford- DMB
    3. Mitch Mitchell- Hendrix
    Carter's high hat work is unmatched.

    Well, this makes total sense to me. Being ambidextrous I was always "forced" to play cross over, R handed. Now to undo 25 years of playing after being told, "You don't want to look like a freak do you? Different than other players?" I was too young to say, "Yeah, if I play better!!" Love your videos. Got some homework now! Thanks much. Oh and I have a couple Carter things that were given to me that are cherished so I'm a huge fan of his as well!! He's a monster!!!

    This was REALLY cool man!!! I haven’t really geeked out on Carter since high school but I recently found the Dave Matthews Band Sirius channel and got bittten by the Carter bug once again. 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!!
