    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.

  • @Alexleight

    How am I just now finding you? I watch Carter video's on the daily and you come out of no where and nail so many songs.

    OK.. so I've never really heard the Dude Matthews band all that much, but I had to swiftly head over to "The Last Stop" live in Chicago. Aaaaand this video is what I will now clutch, like a giddy teenager for the next month. Holy dudeness ! Dude

      Except it's wrong.

    • @tdpercussion
      @tdpercussion Před 5 lety +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.

    Your enthusiasm is infectious, too!

  • @noellpro
    @noellpro Před 4 lety +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

  • @ermesborgnino4704
    @ermesborgnino4704 Před 7 lety +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.

    I friggin' love your videos! Im a 41 yr old weekend warrior in a blues band and I just started taking formal lessons, and your videos are my new after lesson routine to reinforce and see what I can learn, about what I learned in the lesson....when I was learning. Because I never formally learned, which is why I'm now learning!

  • @bigpopakap
    @bigpopakap Před 7 lety +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

  • @ADS24643

    Love the Carter Beauford collection. I love his drumming as well. He's in my personal top three.
    1. George Hurley- the Minutemen
    2. Carter Beauford- DMB
    3. Mitch Mitchell- Hendrix
    Carter's high hat work is unmatched.

  • @RA2Music
    @RA2Music Před 3 lety +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.

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!
