My guitar friend just gifted me a 60s acrolite he's had for a long time. Just got it home and started researching. Turns out it's one of these protype models. Has the original heads, wires and everything. Happily, my research lead me to one of my favorite drummers playing one. It's a pretty good day.
Having two wildy different sounding kicks is not being utilized enough. Great demo.
Stanton Moore, Steve Jordan and Clayton Cameron come to mind. Loves the Stanton's approach...one smaller ported for punch and a bigger un-ported for boom.
@@bherward the only person I've seen who use them like this is Will Calhoun. Ginger Baker used to use a 20 & 22 but they didn't sound that different from one another.
A great album by the band SCHNTZL called Catwalk is a duo and the drummer has a similar setup to this in facet, though his more resonant bass drum is the on to his side.
@@handidrummed here's a Stanton Moore link with an overhead shot. The aux bass is slaved by the left side of a double pedal placed right next to his regular bass pedal. th-cam.com/video/aAJtmDQBvF8/w-d-xo.html
And JC Van Damme. He uses double kicks.
This is some of the most original drumming I ever heard. So good.
Dude playing a kick with your left heel while playing the hats like Marcus Gilmore does with two hi hats.....this is one of the most bad ass things Ive seen in a long long time.
Candidly, I’m going to surmise that Carter could make oatmeal boxes sound incredible with an equal tuning range of what he plays now. His musical talents and tuning prowess is astoundingly amazing. He’s the groove and tuning master compared to most all drummers at present. Inspiring! Thx Carter. Really enjoy it and it opens up my own awareness- mostly of my humbled ascertained view of my own drumming and tuning abilities comparatively. That’s ok. I continue to learn and grow. d
I concur!
Me three
blah blah everyone knows that already and says so in copious amounts, what about the subject at hand...the snare, or some techniques you want to learn. He is not making these vids for people to stroke his ego
@@RocknJazzer I don’t care so much about the drum, or techniques- I watch his videos for the playing and I don’t mind verbalising my appreciation for it. If Carter reads it- that’s cool by me- the guy is an absolute master musician. Good on him-
@@mrwillbaker I appreciate it. Thank you.
Loving the interplay between both kicks 👏
I dont know if its the drums, the heads, the tuning, the playing or the mics but that drum set sounds freakin amazing. Im sure its just a combination of all of it. That bass drum is fantastic.
It's the drummer! ;D
Nothing like the multiple tunings of a Ludwig snare. Great performance.
Es ist ein Genuss zuzuhören !
I could listen to you play drum beats all day! Your attention to tone and nuance is unmatched.
Me too, he has great feel and touch.
Around the 4 minute mark he blisters, then at 4:10 the switch from doubles to singles... Dude. That's the stuff. That's the stuff non drummers miss. They get the stuff at 4 minutes, with all the razz-ma-tazz coolness. And it IS cool. But what seems so simple--switch from doubles to singles, keeping them even, with a super smooth crescendo... THAT'S the stuff we drummers look at, mouths agape, and think "Shoot, that little tasty bit right there is MONEY." Now if you'll excuse, I have some overdue work to do on the practice pad.
Carter McLean, buzz roll State Champ 2001-2022😎
just wow. masterclass in dynamics
sounds so much like my 60's acrolite which was my first snare when i was a kid. that sound is just instantly identifiable to me. your playing is just so fluid and musical as always. it's always a true joy to listen to these demos and any videos you post. i wish more drummers would focus on you and less on the the folks just blowing chops or playing covers with sextuplets. this is what drumming is supposed to be about.
The combo of the two kicks is just sexy to my ears.
Great drumming as always!!!! BTW: even though everyone calls those prototypes, they weren't. Even the original all-aluminum ones. They were sold as regular product.
I would marry that snare.
At a time when everyone and their mother has or wants an Acro, you’ve found a way to out-Acrolite everybody! Sounds amazing.
Всегда приятно слушать, когда играет профессионал.
The Ludwig P83 throw off was simplicity and perfection. Great snare!
100% quality 100% content
Great sounds on that snare whether tuned up, down or in between. I do love the first tuning a lot... just gorgeous !!
I was able to snag a blacrolite last weekend for $25 couldn't believe it. The folks selling listed it as a Pearl snare drum (the drum head said Pearl ☺). Love all the Acrolites Ludwig has made !!
So effortless... the best flow on earth
It’s always such a pleasure watching this work! Up there with the masterfully level skills and any drummer who would say otherwise probably would know too much about what all is happening in this video. Awesome work man! Keep going your an inspiration to creativity itself!
This sound is addictive
I saw just such drums on ebay a couple of times, I really wanted to hear how they sound, now I heard. The sound exceeded my expectations, in my opinion it sounds better than a regular acrolite. Thank you for the video.
Ludwig Acrolite is one of my favorite snare drums. Great playing Carter as usual 🥁
Always love your playing. Smooth constant motion
Beautiful drumming/tuning/micing! You really proved the potential of this legendary instrument
That bass drum sounds killer!!!! Love huge open tones like that!
Wow!❤️❤️😎. Love your drumming so much, Carter! I’ve never seen a drummer play all those funky ass beats with such liquid-finesse. I’ve never seen a drummer have so much funk & soul, period. These beats, are beats I’d love to even think of, let alone just belt out on the skins. Inspiring, to put it modestly. Dang! I wish I could play like that!
Carter, your technique is great man. Awesome!
Man I get such a charge out of listening and watching you play! Thanks!
best value for $$ snare on the market. I'm a yamaha guy but my snares are almost always either a black beauty or an acrolite. They just sound good
Sweet and so Sensitive.
I especially love those hi hats.
Very nice clean tuning.
Carter you are one of my all time favorite drummers! always lots of compliments! having said that finally I was able to try your sticks you know in Italy they arrived later, they are fantastic excellent balance super versatile and great sound very defined and even if you want to play loud they do not hold back and they make you feel very really good! Hi !
Can you please inform which sticks are you talking about ?
@@SuperOnit1 Of course, it's the Pro Mark Carter McLean ...
I just ordered a bunch of your sticks. A buddy of mine let me try them and they have become my favorite.
Sick video. The response on that drum is great. Love that the mic pics up the tone from the drum as well esp on the lower tunings to really hear the note ring out. Good stuff.
Great drums, great tuning....takes you most of the way there. Music!
Killer beats. Snare and kick sound nuts. Every time I listen to you, I'm always hearing 2 (more)grooves within t one. Hard to explain.
Damn that's a sensitive drum. Awesome playing btw. Your sound is excellent. Especially with such few mics. Guessing your room is specifically treated. Thanks for the vids
Excelente audio , calidez y contundencia, sin duda unos de los tambores más elegidos junto al supraphonic.
Insane sounding. Great handwork🤘
It's been one of my favorite snare drums since about 1992 and it's always been really cheap until maybe just recently because I was at Sam Ash the other day and saw one for over $350. The last time I bought one was at a pawnshop for under $100 in North Philly! 😂
That second lowwwww kick is awesome! first time ive seen/heard that!
The second kick is the best kick i‘ve ever heard
love how buzzy that snare is. and what f is that china? what a jam carter!
WOW this kit sounds phenomenal even on compressed lossy TH-cam.
Love it.
Awesome work, great seccond bass drum and tunning is just perfect. Really great!
God DAYUM Carter is smooth. Enjoy all the content, Carter, thank you!!!!! ;) :)
Man oh man!!! That’s about all I can say!!!
Best snare drum for the money, especially the aluminum acrolite.
So amazing lord have mercy 😤👏🏼 the snare and your bass drums sound so good man. Also really enjoying your promark sticks they feel great!
Love that cross stick sound
I would marry that snare drum.
Excellent sounding snare drum! I'd take a Ludwig snare every time over any snare DW makes. Oh lovely playing too mate!
I can tell that left heel kick has been a project of yours. Learning to play it I mean
Man! Carter can sure play!
Very cool! Looks in crazy good condition! Sounds like a vintage acro...I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between one with regular steel hardware I think. Also, that 22" kick sounds ENORMOUS
It's a 24
Id love to see a shootout vs a newer production one. New heads/Same tuning etc!
Thanks again Carter...(by the way, your signature promark's found the Netherlands)...love the tips on them...
Aluminum lugs. Careful, you bike and Honda mechanics know what I'm talking about!
😂 is that a second kick drum....oh yeah, now I see the left leg moving. Like I said in the last video, a good subwoofer will bring it to life, ayyyye....
I love how you can make things sound great man… great great sounding
The best snare demo ever .... Which heads and snares you used ?. Vintage Ludwig it's another level of drums
Prototype Acrolite! Damn nice find!
Carter MaClean rules!
Would love to see another cover.
soul healing sound my man!
Dude the fill at 3:44 had me doing the stank face.
Beautiful playing!🙏🤘
Incredible as always
That 28 (I think) kick stole the show
The aux kick has crazy lowrider subwoofer steez
Carter, let me know when your gonna open shop and I'll stop by on my way to the Drum Center of Portsmouth 😂
Pure class.
Splendidly magnificent!!
Bass drum is killer
Carter is my ASMR
Inspirational and brain-breaking. Thanks, Carter.
Any chance … I mean … *ANY CHANCE* … you could do a snare tuning video … if we ask please ?!? 😃
Sounds great
Ludwig undisputed king of snare drums
speechless just speechless
Man, I'm really sad the event in Israel got cancelled - but I suppose I'll just enjoy your TH-cam videos in the meanwhile...
Maybe I'll catch you over the pond at some point ;).
Me too bummed….
good lord that is crisp
Wish I could get my Acro to sound like that
One and only !!!! Tnx good man !!!!!
Your Kick sound amazing man.I gess you have a two bas drum but fantastic 👏
4:32 this is the tuning for this snare
The 1st drummer that I heard of using multiple kicks was Michael Jackson's drummer Jonathan sugarfoot Moffett.
Lalo Schifrin nodding along somewhere to this 👍🏻
Lol, is that directly engaged subwoofer as a second kick?! Cool!
I used to have one of these back in the day when acrolites were still cheap😅🤭 ($75-$150)
elegant 👍
Can you say something on those kicks?? ;) Tuning,Heads and dampening.Sounds so good.Like the more dampened kick pretty much here:) Holy shit what a drummer and drumsounds XD
Fantastic -- I have a '66,..it needs a little TLC to be honest. Is that a Shure 545 I spy on the snare?
Hell yeaaaaaaah!!! AMAZING!!!
two kick drums ?!!?? waht
