I'm not rich, married, good looking, I'm about to be laid off, I'm old, I have health issues, and I don't have a lot to be proud of, but i can say I saw Carter Beauford in concert twice and I'm very proud of that!
Honestly, most everyone on that stage is insanely talented. They play off each other better than most any band in history. If you have never been to a live show, I highly recommend that you go at least once.
I don't get why it has to be a debate over who the best drummer is. Carter has fun every time he plays and is a joy to watch. That's enough for me, as someone who is a massive fan of all the guys listed in below.
That's right, he looks like he always having fun. As a drummer I look at all of the greats with equal respect, I mean they do it for a living, that in itself is good enough.
As a Blues, Country and Rock drummer playing for over 30 years and being on stage for thousands, I may say That Carter Beaufort is by far one of the best drummers ever, his style of playing is unmatched. His friendly smiling face and having a great time attitude behind the kit, his joy he gets from always challenging himself, and his drum fills and solos are incredible, One of the Best Drummers Ever
Every time he plays this song he does them, and yet those cymbal-tom-snare-snare hertas he does just before the end never fail to floor me big time. What a drummer.
Every time I've seen them live, and every video like this... it always makes me smile. Watching any musician like Carter play is watching a big kid remembering when they were young and falling in love with their chosen instrument. The guy just loves playing... and he's damned good too.
Mr. Carter Beauford...better than Portnoy, Peart, Rich, Mangini, Moon, Bonham, Gadd, Copeland, Weckl, Silveria, Luzier, Ulrich, Williams, Jordinson, Lombardo, Mullen...At 58 years old, this guy is THE BEST DRUMMER IN THE WORLD. YES, I SAID IT. He loves what he does and he never gives less than his best. He has progressively gotten better with age and if you watch some of their live performances, you can definitely tell. He has so much soul, ambidexterity, groove, feel, technique, style, technicality, speed, versatility...every performance, he gives it his all and he mixes it up all the time. He makes a 4/4 time signature sound impossible. And he does it all with a SMILE on his face. God, I love this guy so much. He puts the music and the fans before himself.
+Nick Nolte right spot on ! i've nothing else to add apart that I had the real joy to watch him play with Dave Matthews Band on their last date in Europe, Dublin 3 arena on the 13th of november. I reached climax several times lol !
Not a huge fan of Dave Matthews band but Carter is something else. The feel, love and skill that man has is incredible. Can't help but love watching that guy
7:35 i've seen him play this ending fill a million times, and i know it's just a simple herta, but every time it's like i'm a little kid again who just discovered his love for drums
Nope, not an alien or star trek creature with 5 arms, nope just an AMAZING DRUMMER that is a distinct pleasure to watch and listen to.............IDK if he's the Best(in my book) or not, God bless him, the band and us ALL!!!!! Oh, and his footwork is TREMENDOUS to say the least!!!!!!!
Solid. Solid, Solid, .....very, very solid. Hard hitting. Always knows where 1 is. Love the hand and foot back and forth. Tight band. Real music,....real together band. My goodness. Yes. Thank you.
Carter is for drumming the same Ronaldhino is for soccer... Magic skills, huge performances, always in contribution with the team, helping to make greater the other ones, and make it seems so easy....And always, with a big smile in his face
So many comparisons, can we not just agree many musicians have unique sounds? One isn't always better than the other. There are tons of super talented musicians who can melt faces any time, getting 6 to 8 on the same stage is the real magic.
The tiny monitor in front of Carter, is that lyrics scrolling past him? I've never seen a drummer with that kind of gadget. Can anyone confirm what that is for me?
Carter, Peart and Portnoi are all good drummers in their own right. I think Carter has the most diverse skill set out of the three. Neil and Mike are limited to rock and can't play Funk, R&B and authentic Reggae well Carter can play all 4 well. Pearts attempt at traditional jazz needs a lot of work. He doesn't swing well and looks awkward in that genre tho in Rock he is a god and u can't take that away from him.
Kastlemerock Talk What rock music does he play? Just because he added some very basic dbl bass doesn’t make it rock. To say Peart is limited to rock shows how very little you know about him. I’m not that big of a peart fan but he could do everything Carter is doing and add more without a problem. I’m not taking anything away from carter, he is great.
Really? You come here to see this awesome video, this great song and you star arguing who is better drummer?! Just shut up, sit back, turn up the volumen and start enjoying this master drummer playing the great song. BTW, does anybody know which china is the one on his right?
ive heard grip, and blisters. when you are playing every night, the gloves can help with not blistering up too much. i used to play with them and would go back and try it again for sure. they are just footjoy golf gloves.

DMB is either loved or hated....but one can't deny the reality of sheer talent in Carter's playing. What a joy to watch.
Straight up trueness in that comment.

Look at his passion. See how excited he was after that song? Congratulating the whole band.
Exactly. He knew that they did good that night.
Every time he plays this song he does them, and yet those cymbal-tom-snare-snare hertas he does just before the end never fail to floor me big time. What a drummer.
yall ever just 3:4 polyrhythm
I know, he does those on the crush outros too and its insane
4 years later of this comment... I agree!!! I think in this ever!
Always has a smile on his face while he's playing. I love it!

the best is virgil donati, it's a fact
+Jim O. agree, nobody's close to him, not even half close! though Carter is such a unique drummer as well.
+Nick Nolte Idk bud.. What about Sonny Emory or Eric Moore?
+Nick Nolte Eh, you must never have heard of Danny Carey then, or Matt Garstka.
Not a huge fan of Dave Matthews band but Carter is something else. The feel, love and skill that man has is incredible. Can't help but love watching that guy

Not into these guys, but man I could watch this dude drum all day, he's crazy.

I never liked Dave Matthews band, however I always respected the talent. In a would of autotune and laptop djs these guys are still shredding
Who cares about best evers just enjoy one of the masters. Great camera angles very enjoyable thank you
Liked watching the the kick pedals and the interplay between the feet and hands.
PLEASE MORE CARTER BEAUFORD, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY.
I love Carter's playing, he certainly is on my top ten best drummers ever.
Thanks so much for this footage.
He has so much fun playing , it's awesome to watch !
Be with someone who looks at you the way Dave looks at Carter at 7:03.
Who cares who the best is? Carter is always having the most fun in the building every time he plays and that's what it's all about.
Forever my favourite drummer of all time. Never get tired of watching him play!
Nope, not an alien or star trek creature with 5 arms, nope just an AMAZING DRUMMER that is a distinct pleasure to watch and listen to.............IDK if he's the Best(in my book) or not, God bless him, the band and us ALL!!!!! Oh, and his footwork is TREMENDOUS to say the least!!!!!!!
Amazing! Never get tired of this beat. This is truly a great drummer in a great band.
Spectacular performance here!!!!!

I can’t believe I never noticed until now! I had no idea Carter used a double pedal setup for his hi hats!!! That’s freaking genius!
He's amazing, simply amazing

Even though I'm not into DMB that much, I love watching Carter play.

Boss Bacho Ludwig Alex van Halen signature rosewood. #58/100
Yes,....as a drummer I appreciate it.
This video makes me smile :)
How has this been up for over a year and I had never seen it?? TH-cam's messing with me, it's not possible.
Still the man.
Damn, he's good. He's so creative!
Legendary

Dammit, just one day after the concert I went to in Hartford.

My best hero ever~
Is he left handed?
Wow.

The tiny monitor in front of Carter, is that lyrics scrolling past him? I've never seen a drummer with that kind of gadget. Can anyone confirm what that is for me?
Monstro!!!
Talking about drums solo from start until finish
My Fav Drummer with Larry Mullen JR
Dimas Radian Love U2 but Carter is miles ahead of Larry Mullen Jr...
What high hat combo is that? I see it's a a new beat, is it a 13 or 14 inch? And is it a k top hat on bottom?
The baddest drummer alive
Carter, Peart and Portnoi are all good drummers in their own right. I think Carter has the most diverse skill set out of the three.

Spicy
Is that a text monitor he got there in front or?
Yes, for lyrics.
does he have a travis barker cowbell
Marc Beaulieu yep
Really? You come here to see this awesome video, this great song and you star arguing who is better drummer?! Just shut up, sit back, turn up the volumen and start enjoying this master drummer playing the great song.
BTW, does anybody know which china is the one on his right?
21" A Ultra-hammered China
WTF!!! 🐶👏🏼🐶👏🏼
That setup tho
Why is he wearing gloves? Do gloves allow for a better grip?
ive heard grip, and blisters. when you are playing every night, the gloves can help with not blistering up too much. i used to play with them and would go back and try it again for sure. they are just footjoy golf gloves.
What does ambidextrous mean? That...
