All these drum channels out there emphasizing speed and wicked chops. But here you are by your lonesome, reminding us about heart, soul, and feeling. Thanks for that.
Yep. That's what I love about Carter - plays to the music, not the youtubers looking to criticize. Make no mistake though, he can chop it up with the best of them! Just play music people!
“Need a new percussion instrument.....shaker, tambourine, cowbell, ....insert a hundred options...... I’ll just play my knee.......” That is awesome.....just great!!!! Smiling!!!! So tastefully done...
I was a session player for a lot of years, I didn’t get work because of chops, I got work cause I learned how to listen, Carter is one of the better ones out there..nice work
I think he’s referring to the fact that non-drummers like to marginalize drummers as “people who hit things.” lmao like half you guys would have any solidified sense of time without us
We've got to teach young people coming up that the drums are obviously to be hit and sometimes hard. But it's important to understand that this is an instrument that can communicate beauty, when it is played well. Great job, Carter.
I can't. This is so good. This is what drums are all about! It is not the time keeping machine. You can do so much more. Thank you, Carter! Nothing to say more..just..THANK YOU
I really love how sensitive you are to music and the dedication with which you support the composition with a perfectly fitting drum part. Also, the drum sound is out of this world, I'd like to listen to an album that sounds like that.
Always SO tasteful! Thank you for providing such a wonderful example of dynamics and sensitivity on drums, while staying within a simple groove. Again, many thanks. Very inspiring!
Carter you are the most expressive, dynamic, explosive, feeling drummer since my favorite Louie Bellison. Thank you for taking us all to a new high. Your drumming has changed everything . Your ability to make music is what a true drummer should do. You sir have mastered this art.
Hadn’t seen this before (and I just now saw the “Face Like Thunder” cover from 2 years ago that made my week!). The tones you seek out for individual tracks are as inspiring as they are creative, but it’s what you play (and don’t play) that tears it up. I have a project coming up that’s a departure for me & I’m going to keep coming back to your content and videos as my guide to get my game right. That, all the cymbals, and Dem Sticks. That oughtta do it.
@@elithepitbulldog2209 haha love that. i drool over the AGOPs. i have a 22" dream bliss vintage ride that's super washy and I love it. i meant specifications about the cymbals btw. every once in a while he'll give us details and it feels like a glimpse into another world for me lol
Adrian Sympson I spent a small fortune but love that washy sound. I got the 15 hats, 20, 22,24, and 26. Looking for the old k Istanbul sound. The old Ks weren’t consistent enough to pay $1,000- $3000, if you could find them. I’m satisfied with these for sure. Microphones love them
Beautiful musicianship and sound palette as always. Surprised no one mentioned playing along to "Stacks" while wearing a "Stax" shirt. Gotta be on purpose right?

true! So true! Drums vs music....no contest!
When a musician plays drums ...
Indeed.

Did you wear that shirt on purpose? Clever
It makes me feel comfortable.
인정합니다
저두요
True but it could be a little less repetitive
Gabriel Oliveira the leads could be a bit more dynamic
Proving to the world that drummers ARE musicians. Good stuff man
Absolutely true
Nobody says the opposite lmao, who has ever said that?
Who ever said drums aren't music?
@@gxdhabakkagw6268 Exactly! I turned around to my drummer and told him he wasn't a musician and to GET OUT!
I think he’s referring to the fact that non-drummers like to marginalize drummers as “people who hit things.” lmao like half you guys would have any solidified sense of time without us
You have a lot of patience. It's amazing how far that goes... Impatience is the silent groove-killer.
That's a great statement, Jasper.
At least once a year I listen too this music. Makes me groundet, let´s me see the important things in life. Thank you Carter!
We've got to teach young people coming up that the drums are obviously to be hit and sometimes hard. But it's important to understand that this is an instrument that can communicate beauty, when it is played well. Great job, Carter.
Bill should give you a call! All the best from Berlin, Germany.
Mesmerizing!
Oh yeah it is!
This is so beautiful, so musical!
Look up the word "taste" in the Dictionary. You'll see this vid. Exquisite.
Love coming back to this one. gets me everytime.
This one made me so emotional. Beautiful rendition, beautifully played. Thank you 🙏🏻
I can't. This is so good. This is what drums are all about! It is not the time keeping machine. You can do so much more. Thank you, Carter! Nothing to say more..just..THANK YOU
Carter, Ringo, and Keith Moon, though all very different drummers, have one thing in common - they all play to the music
Beautiful stuff! Bill Frisell is a national treasure...
Peaceful playing reminds us all what's important in these trying times. Thank you for some great music therapy which is what matters most!
Thanks Kevin for "getting it" Its about the music and making others feel something positive. Cheers C
In this dark and uncertain World, it's good to immediately feel better when you know Carter is doing his things in it. Thanks for the music Mr Mclean.
Thanks for listening
Sounds like butter and syrup slowly melting over a big ol pile of flapjacks. Amazing work.
One of the most tasteful drummers out there
One of the most musical drummers out there that chooses to play instead of chop, great drumming!
It was ALL Right for the song. 👏
I want to become a pilot and listen to this while flying.
I really love how sensitive you are to music and the dedication with which you support the composition with a perfectly fitting drum part. Also, the drum sound is out of this world, I'd like to listen to an album that sounds like that.
Wonderful Cymbals!
That was frickin' beautiful playing.
Beauty....... not in a morbid way, but music to die to.
Amazing T shirt from an amazing time and place
Long live Stax....
this is the kind of stuff i love. thanks. it was serene.
this on repeat all day
Nicely done Carter. Great work matching the reverb on your drum tracks to the original recording.
Love this song so much, Bon Iver is so good.
Awesome job as usual Carter, and I appreciate your taste.
I am so glad I came across your channel! It's beautiful
Always SO tasteful! Thank you for providing such a wonderful example of dynamics and sensitivity on drums, while staying within a simple groove. Again, many thanks. Very inspiring!
smoothest hands and most feeling in the game!
Great original song...great cover!
I love Bill Frisell ! Your drumming is so good here Carter.
Great! Thanks Carter McLean! Im watching you from Turkey
Carter you are the most expressive, dynamic, explosive, feeling drummer since my favorite Louie Bellison. Thank you for taking us all to a new high. Your drumming has changed everything . Your ability to make music is what a true drummer should do. You sir have mastered this art.
Beautiful playing man. The most perfect sounding snare to accompany this song! Loved the brushes in the beginning as well.
Like a breath of fresh morning mountain air. Beautiful brother
brought me to tears...love this song and to hear it played with such care and touch...thank you
Fantastic! Silky feel and sounds.
Your playing is MUSIC. I love it
Beautiful and Inspiring as always! Your channel keeps me going, Carter! I
The timing and touch on the drums are just so elegant. The cymbal work is mesmerizing too!
Ths sound is so warm i appreciate it :)
Damn. It feels like you're stretching the space and time continuum with that feel
Simply beautiful! Thank you for the music!

Chose such an awesome song to cover. I love Bill Frisell. Kenny Wollesen is such a tuneful restrained drummer. Much like you! Great cover.
Beautiful.
Really good 👌🏽
BTW, fun play on the song title with your tshirt. Just caught that. ;)
Amazing album, wouldn’t have found it if not for this video. Thanks!
This is the real concept of "playing"

Perfect for a Sunday morning meditation. Thanks, I needed this.
Amazing bud!!! What broom sticks are these

That was absolutely beautiful Carter!
Beautiful track ..
Makes me feel emotions,

Very nice Carter👍
As it is yet again, whenever I hear the original, I pause and play your version instead.
This is a vibe indeed
What brush are you using? I can't find it anywhere on internet. Thank you for beautiful cover.
Dem STicks
this man Knows everyone will ask about the cymbals and yet refuses to add it to the description. gotta keep em guessing. love ya lots
AGOP of course. That 26” 30th anniversary is simply amazing. That’s become my main go to ride. I don’t care that it’s 8” bigger than my kick drum.
@@elithepitbulldog2209 haha love that. i drool over the AGOPs. i have a 22" dream bliss vintage ride that's super washy and I love it. i meant specifications about the cymbals btw. every once in a while he'll give us details and it feels like a glimpse into another world for me lol
Adrian Sympson I spent a small fortune but love that washy sound. I got the 15 hats, 20, 22,24, and 26. Looking for the old k Istanbul sound. The old Ks weren’t consistent enough to pay $1,000- $3000, if you could find them. I’m satisfied with these for sure. Microphones love them
I’ve never been more inspired by any other drummer than you ever.
That was so humbling.
magician...
What’s the mic setup for this? Sounds so gooooood
Earthworks sr25 stereo OH
Beautiful. Love to come check you out if you're back in Greensboro again.
Beautiful
Beautiful ❤
Simplemente... hermoso!
This is so beautiful... !
Dig those funky brushes. Did you make them or buy them?
Dem STicks. Great stuff
Bon Iver Stacks!
Wonderful
Great filling man
Okay... just sit back and wait for a band joining call from Mr Frisell
this is why we play....I get it! thanks

Wow!! Beautiful!! :)
Beautiful musicianship and sound palette as always. Surprised no one mentioned playing along to "Stacks" while wearing a "Stax" shirt. Gotta be on purpose right?
Honestly a total coincidence
