please tell me this guy plays in a band. preferably with an upright bassist who's eyes are permanently closed and a guy who is unhealthily hunched over a piano
im a metal drummer, but literally nothing in the genre impresses me like the heart and passion that goes into this kind of drumming. It's just beautiful.
I know you might not be interested in this, but hear me out. Your fan base have grown exponentially in the last couple of months, your video are extremely well put and sound gorgeous. As a drummer my self, I find your skill set in implementing different styles is over the chart. Lucid, relaxed, diverse. I don't think anyone would mind a few instructional videos from time to time. Thanks, much respect and love.
Hey Carter, do you think any of your lessons are worthwhile for people who aren't drummers but want to increase their understanding and abilities in regards to composing for drums, groove, rhythm etc ?
@@dorsia6938 drumming presents a different set of skills and planning priorities, very good for the brain to switch and transfer these to other parts of the psyche
After 43 years of playing I can no longer play, and I miss the sound of my drums and jamming on them for hours on end. I cannot thank you enough for bringing the gorgeous sound of drums and your exceptional playing bringing both into my humble abode.
I'm a pretty good drummer. Not killer or world class, but I can impress a lot of people. When I try to emulate your sound (exactly how I wish I could play), I sound like a 6 year old who took mom's diet pills.
Try listening to this while you're stoned! Wowwwwwwww! I partake of marijuana edibles a few times a month (more so now...) and then listen to music. Edibles help me let go of that barrier that tells me I'm not a good drummer or a good abstract painter...I can relax and learn things better.
Honestly disappointed that the cymbals aren’t made of animal skin, as well. I’ve been lied to. Edit: damn, I was going to take a screenshot at the 420 like mark, but I missed it :(
One of the great things about the angles Carter's videos are shot in is that it reveals just how much impact your fingers have in your playing. What many people mistake as wrist dexterity is really all about the middle, ring, and pinky fingers.
Between all the hundreds of acrobats... Carter McLean remains to me everything I want to see from a Drummer. He is my hero since years and I can’t stop watching.
I can't describe how good watching this video felt, the technique was so smooth and overall the groove was sweet and very enjoyable. The animal skin adds a very soft and at the same time bright sound to it. Loved it.
I intended on just staying for a minute or so to get a feel for the sound of the heads, but your soloing/jamming just captivated me. Inspirational stuff, and I look forward to studying some of these grooves closer later :] awesome job! The kit sounds amazing as well!
Love these videos, and I treat each one as a lesson. Take the playback speed down, and study! Love the brush work too. Keep up the great work Carter and stay healthy.
What a great random RUclips suggestion this turned out to be! You can play so well and I'm amazed at how fast your wrists can move on those single hits! I've never come across animal skins being used on a Drum kit before. Interesting mellow sound.
Wow!,.... exceptional drum playing and wonderful stick control. Sweet dynamic touch. Killer video. I love the "One Camera Angle" look of this production. It allows you to really study your stick control and drumming, as well as enjoy the warm sound of your kit. Very nicely done! Great cymbal sounds, and I love the rivets. Beautiful solo, simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing, GT Albright - Dexter, Oregon
I don't know how but I feel really relaxed when I watch your videos, Carter! Your hands seems aware of what they are doing. Thanks to share your playing. 😎
Carter, you and Florian Alexandru-Zorn are my two newest drummers I'm "in love with". As soon as this damn pandemic is on the way out, I want to buy a four piece drum kit and just devour videos by you guys...thank you for soothing my stressed out soul!

This dude pairs cymbals to drums like aged cheese with a fine wine
This is the best comment on this video
Yea, when you have the entire Agop collection it's not really that hard.
@@christopherpederson1021
He could sound just as good with a cheap pair of cymbals.
Dude that’s actually a totally legit comparison
His feel is incredible. Speed yet grace
please tell me this guy plays in a band. preferably with an upright bassist who's eyes are permanently closed and a guy who is unhealthily hunched over a piano
Basically the Avishai Cohen trio
His main gig is the drummer for the Broadway show The Lion King.
AttakaiMusic the bassist has a beard, suspenders and a bowler hat
The club they're at is unreasonably smokey
Hahahaha
By “demo,” he really meant “I flex really hard on everyone for 7 minutes.”
Jacob Morgan this Is the second best comment next to the wine and cheese one
I mean, the kit sounds good and all, but wow, those hands. That's some serious finger control
MusicDev I scrolled past this at 0:36 and holy shit you’re right
I reckon he can definitely please a women
@@runningfromcomfort aight

Shawn Mick 🤘🏻Well said! I love Suffocation and Coltrane equally, but in different ways
I was just thinking the same thing. I love how it's the same instrument, yet playing it like this as opposed to rock/metal is just another world.
@@MrFeric30 yeah!!
I'm sure you've heard of Gar Samuelson?
'Heart and passion'. You forgot to add incredible skill and musicality.

Aww that sucks bro
Hi buddy, sorry to hear that but keep drumming in your mind…
Man.... sorry, Brother.

jordan jeansonne i have never related to a comment more
perfectly put and I can relate.
There’s always someone better
Or a mom who took her 6 yr olds ADD meds.
Don't worry so much about it, just go your own path and in the end it may surprise you
Man, you are the smoothest player... blowing my mind and it’s weirdly relaxing too.. like drumming ASMR 😂
My thoughts exactly. I wish there was a bed made of this video.

@@DrummerGrrrl fuck yeaaah lol, playing and listening to music while high is one of the best things in life
It's relaxing cause it's extremely satisfying.
his performance is so smooth i can't believe it's not butter
edit: grammar
He's*
@@mew1962 yeah
Mew no his is correct
@@mew1962 no
Mew Idiot.
I can tell that this was not only the product of hours and hours of drills but also exploration and experimentation. A true artist
I don't know why this was in my recommended feed but I am NOT complaining.
Right. There. Witcha.
I would say the fact that you have a drum related profile pic. Ergo drum related interest in videos. Ergo this video in your recommended
I ate soap 3 years ago
ErykFib tf
I forgot this was for a drum skin demo. His playing is so hpynotic
What did I just watch!?! That was some of the best drumming I've ever seen on RUclips!!
Honestly disappointed that the cymbals aren’t made of animal skin, as well. I’ve been lied to.
Edit: damn, I was going to take a screenshot at the 420 like mark, but I missed it :(
Zackary Warren I’m working on it
@Shaggy Rodgers How about temple blocks made from skulls of various creatures?
Common sense pls
What a Brilliant comment !!!
@@onemoremisfit , Yes, while they are still living!
Love listening to an extremely catchy song, then 3 minutes in realizing drums are the only instrument present. This is so musical!
Dude, you're cleaning my soul with these videos
this was one of the best drum solos ive ever seen, probably the best one
Yeah, I have two old dogs. Now I know what I'm gonna do with them.
:(
Dude. That's metal as fuck
Go for it, I dare ya
Holy shit lol
You can shoot one and divorce the other Thank you! I'm here till Thursday. Try the Veal.
I was thirsty, but then I heard that fresh drum kit...
Those snare rim shots are heavenly
honestly, I don't care how the drums do sound if played like that, I'm sure this guy could play any piece of junk and sound amazing
damn that kick is so boomy it sounds like it has a reverb on it haha
Snare sounds amazing
Sounds so good. If I could play drums like this, it's all I would ever do.

Certain parts of your solos blow me away how much you sound like Tony Williams. Good God! Clean, precise and nasty all at the same time!
Thank you..... there will never be another Tony.
Carter McLean
Amen. But damn Carter... you play so good!
And add a bit of Jeff Hamilton to the mix! Absolutely fantastic music delivered in this video!
I hear a mixture of Tony Williams and Joe Morello. Its amazing.
@@cartermclean just like there will nerver be another you
Between all the hundreds of acrobats... Carter McLean remains to me everything I want to see from a Drummer. He is my hero since years and I can’t stop watching.
snare sounds fantastic!
Chops, musicality and tones for days 🔥
this guy might be my new favorite drummer :0
Where have I been? This drummer is probably the finest player I’ve ever heard! This guy is unreal... AMAZING!
That groove switch up at 5:22 I’m actually stunned at the control
RUclips University at its finest... Professor McLean has got a great syllabus these days.
You sound amazing on these drums. The high-tone toms with that open bass drum. So pleasing to listen to.
I could listen to this guy all day. Damn
Beautiful drumming. That kit sounds very organic.
So much ability. That is the way a drum set should be played.
Man, those sound so good! Nothing bores my ears more than modern, safe, smacky drums. I could listen to these all day
If I was quarantined next to your studio, I won’t mind.
I am a bassist and I dont know why this is in my recommended but i love this.
I love the articulation on these heads. Very warm and precise.
This drumming is incredible. Amazing! And the instruments sound phenomenal as well.
Wonderful!! Instruments and drummer!
Mount Olympus of drumming-damn! So smooth and sophisticated.👍👍
Perfect sounding Kit,... Excellent voicing,. including Cymbals.
this the only drum solo that can make me fall asleep because of how smooth and musical it is jesus
I can't describe how good watching this video felt, the technique was so smooth and overall the groove was sweet and very enjoyable. The animal skin adds a very soft and at the same time bright sound to it. Loved it.
Fantastic drumming. Some of the best I’ve seen. The dynamics, lush sounds. I can listen to this all day every day. Sooooo musical
These heads sound WICKED! Nice playing too! Your motifs are so fluid and creative! Monday is perfect now!
Eooooo!!!!! Sooooo musical! The tone is versatile! And good job with the cymbal matching as well!
These demos are like lessons for me. Been playing for over a decade now, but there's always more to be learned. Great work.
Fantastic sounds, and fantastic playing!
Fantastic playing. Beautiful tone
The toms, delightful.
The cymbals, delightful.
I intended on just staying for a minute or so to get a feel for the sound of the heads, but your soloing/jamming just captivated me. Inspirational stuff, and I look forward to studying some of these grooves closer later :] awesome job! The kit sounds amazing as well!
I love your subtle finesse and control. Understated but technically advanced. Thank you.
Love these videos, and I treat each one as a lesson. Take the playback speed down, and study! Love the brush work too. Keep up the great work Carter and stay healthy.
Everything about the sound of this kit is perfect.
Killer drumming, Carter! Great video!

Carter is a master of the sound set upping
your ride and bass are literally to die for
That snare sounds crisp,i love it! 🙂
What a great random RUclips suggestion this turned out to be! You can play so well and I'm amazed at how fast your wrists can move on those single hits! I've never come across animal skins being used on a Drum kit before. Interesting mellow sound.

The term "delicious" applies here. The sound is so beautiful. The harmonics... Wow.
Never gets old. Love this cat. 😊
I don't know how but I feel really relaxed when I watch your videos, Carter! Your hands seems aware of what they are doing. Thanks to share your playing. 😎
Of course, what do you expect? all drummers should be in 100% control all the time...
@@DrSamE Are you sure? :) Think carefully. ☺️
@@Aaron-ml4gj Yes, they should. You never should have a moment behind the kit where you just "can't help yourself".
This has warmed my soul. Thank you for sharing your talent ♥️
Carter, you and Florian Alexandru-Zorn are my two newest drummers I'm "in love with". As soon as this damn pandemic is on the way out, I want to buy a four piece drum kit and just devour videos by you guys...thank you for soothing my stressed out soul!
AMAZING PERFORMANCE AND SOUND.
Your flow was soo cool sir... Really I love the way you communicate with the instrument
