There are so many monster drummers, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Dannny Carey, Aquiles Priester, Senri Kawaguchi, Dennis Chambers, Terri Bozzio, and many others, but none look as comfortable or as sincerely happy when they play as Carter does! The fusion of music mixed with his open style of playing and the chemistry he has with the band just makes every live performance like Christmas morning! Thank you Carter for your hard work and for sharing your gift with the world!

Alot of good drummers out there, but I cant get tired of watching Carter Beauford. Never seen anyone with such an incredible technique or anyone that looks like they enjoy it like he does. The guy is a legend.

[mojolamar]

The casual bubblegum bubble while absolutely killing it is just the epitome of Carter 😂 👏🏻🙌🏻

[thatthomasguy]

It's wild he's likely never played a song the same way twice, but it's perfect each time

[DailyDrumLesson]

I remember when I first heard Carter. It was #41 on the "under the table and drumming" VHS. It completely blew my mind, incredible drummer!

[drewmerz]

Seriously the best drummer of all time. Don't get me wrong, I respect guys like Neil Peart, but no one can do what Carter does. His intricacies are UNREAL

[efrain.hernandez]

Dave and Carter's reaction at the end is priceless. So GOOD!

[michaelraber]

I've watched this 100 times and every time I have a huge smile on my face. This is quality playing, folks.

[juancarlosdelavega]

He is playing while singing while chewing gum!! I can't even walk while i'm chewing gum!!

[evolune]

What a fucking legend he is. Mad respect.

[davidwoodward]

Besides being a phenomenal drummer, he's just always such a joy to watch. I never get tired of seeing him.

[thehighhopes]

Never been a fan a Dave Mathews band but Carter is a great drummer. Can't deny that.

[toolalingus]

Who the hell watches this and dislikes?! After all these years the joy on his face makes this even better

[fher]

You know you’re legendary when you’ve blown your own mind

[dude]

3:25 - Carter, out of this world. Love Stefan and Dave's reaction at 3:37. and Carter's right after the fill... they all know he NAILED it.

[jester]

I'm not going to sit here and try to get into an argument about who the b est drummer in the world is or any of that but good GOD no one has more fun than Carter at the kit. he's chewin gum, smiling, crackin up with Stefan, etc. Gotta be awesome to love what you do like that.

[harrisc]

Vic Firth - if you could get Carter playing The Stone, that'd be great.

[woodnbassmentproductions]

It was the this tune that got me into DMB. The first time I heard it in my buddy’s car, the drums blew me away. Carter’s playing is phenomenal, and he’s probably my greatest musical inspiration. Honestly, He’s the reason I’ve never just given up and quit drumming altogether.

Truly Astonishing.

[killemall]

Matthews songs are like listening to an entire musical

[DevourTheBleak]

A legend strutting his stuff…never saw DMB live but I’d go just for Carter
