[Puercorpse]

Tom Hanks Band

[jds122567]

Seriously, time to change the name to "Carter Beauford Band"...

[ChesterCopperPot5]

This is from 5/9/01 Oak Mountain.....Filmed by Ethan Sinclair

[riceboy287]

I love how they went all country n shit at 3:20 something

[NathanielEllisGuitar]

Lol whatever... Carter is undoubtably the best drummer ever. he improvises threw the howl songs and brings it to several climaxes.. lol.

[dundo17]

Which show is this from?

[1991themango]

hey cseasons where is this damn show from

[lalaladassas]

1:44 bubble gum !! Haha AMAZING ! QziN

[indianaaron]

So much feel



[jesuit101]

Carters Essentials:

1) Dreads

2) Drumsticks

3) Bubblegum

Lets Jam.

[thaochingboi]

ehh been looking for a while now and still cant find the orginal footage of this live version :O

[NavySeale510]

god damn he is so sick.

[MysticDMBherb]

Nothing like going deaf after a Two Step encore

[kriswilk]

So technical, yet so infectiously rhythmic. It's a timelessly classic solo for the ages (among Carter's best work).

[ALEXJEOVANNY]

Isso me leva ao sobrenatural!

[jayp864]

... and THAT is y he's my favorite drummer!

[wtjra70]

Carter is and will always be in favorite top 3...he rocks!!

[paisteguy799]

hes got some pretty good singles, i wanna see gary novak w dave matthews, that would be tight

[yacokrotchy]

It would take every ounce of my skill to play one-third that well. He does it while blowing bubbles

[deadhead984]

I like this but...I gotta have more cowbell

[pprox800]

Every time he hits that snare it sounds like a gunshot....Ridiculous!

[EmoDinoLovee]

Damn. Carter is so fucking amazing on drums.

[64wing]

i love how he's blowing bubbles like it's no big deal lol

[1991themango]

where is this two step from!?

[shmoogleflopper1]

He is in the middle of all of these Youtube solos.......from what I've seen. What do I know though?

[cbr0oks]

i'm a drummer, and i have trouble keeping track of his 3 and 5 beat phrases, i don't get why the rest of the non-musical world likes this solo in two step, i'll bet 99% of you can't keep the beat. try it . . . clap your hands through the whole thing.

[mookydudes44]

@cbr0oks maybe you should find a new instrument...

[cbr0oks]

@mookydudes44 you don't know what a phrase is, do you

[Edensadventures]

@cbr0oks

I can....

Find the groove in the accompaniment and the solo makes sense and is very easy to follow

[cbr0oks]

@Edensadventures i know, like i said, i can follow it, i just dont get how people who arent musically inclined can enjoy it

[ALFREDsurfer08]

@cbr0oks who says a solo has to keep the time?

[nicksavior11]

@ALFREDsurfer08 but he actually does keep time believe it or not

[DMBtomp]

@cbr0oks Yup what you gotta do, is listen to the music. Then you'll be able to clap to it.

If you press 'Power On' on your speakers - yep, and now turn up the volume. THERE! Clap along to your heart's content!

[daisy20071]

@cbr0oks someone needs to work on their motor skills...

[cbr0oks]

@daisy20071 no i dont. listen to my song 'conversation for conversation's sake'. 5/8 time signature.

[daisy20071]

@cbr0oks Since you're the only one here complaining of difficulty clapping to this I'll just stick to my original assessment.

[cbr0oks]

@daisy20071 do you even know what a phrase is? i'm pretty sure you're just being a dick.

[daisy20071]

@cbr0oks Again, since you're the one having issues following this, while at the same time trying to act superior to everyone who claims they can follow it just fine, I'm pretty sure the problem is on your end.

[cbr0oks]

@daisy20071 good one.

[SuperWhiteNinjas]

There is no best drummer. But there are bad drummers. And good drummers. He is a godly drummer. One of the few i say that about.

[backtothebeat4]

everyone who is saying carter is the best drummer.. i think your forgetting about travis barker! just kidding. actually that was to far. im going to personally dislike this comment. then burn my computer

[cramdizzl]

But if there was a "best drummer" it would be Carter.

[mjdrysdale]

I've always thought these guys should be named Carter Beaufords Band

[hoodnjh]

Greatest drummer EVER... EVER!!!! On earth, to have ever exist, period!!! No words can, could, or will EVER be able to explain Carter's absolute, untouchable "Goddness!!!!!!" He is and ALWAYS will be the absolute GREATEST drummer EVER!! And anyone who disagrees, please argue. I dare you. And at least have a somewhat "decent" argument. However there is none. And if I hear about Travis fucking, lame-ass, loser, fucking nobody Barker again, I'm gonna fucking go insane. You have to an inexperienced

[spainboysft9]

@hoodnjh id say danny carey isbetter bro.



[youarea8]

Proof that extra-terrestrial life exists on earth.

[Mrdionoz]

Translation: "I prefer maple drums over birch, I can't work out all the figures he's playing so I think he must be doing them wrong, He is a good drummer, I don't think he's the bloke from the bible that created the earth, he uses a double kick pedal, I don't understand how to play the flam triplet roll on the toms he does and so I think his tom work is the best part! This is an instrumental part of a song and therefore not a drum solo. I'm racist in this and every comment I post on you tube."

[mrdoitup78]

he sucks ass because he plays birch drums. He hides mistakes your like your wife is getting fucked while you read my comment. He is a good drummer, but no GOD at all. Big deal, double kick pedal, hertz's on the tom's, but no REAL drum solo, but we have to say he is great cause he is a nigger.

[pshiftguitarist]

@mrdoitup78

dude hes ranked one of the top drummers, i agree this solo is not that good but hes a phenomenal drummer overall.

[pshiftguitarist]

@mrdoitup78

and you should hear when he plays his preferred style of music which is gospel he kills it so again you have to respect that hes one of the best drummers alive ranked 11 or even lower if i remembered correctly, please dont tell me you like those rock drummers that play a basic 4/4 timing smh

[CameronCEO]

Man is fully capable of playing with one hand, and switching hands, This was freestyled!

[MrBetbeze]

the black neil peart

[CMSpida]

I would love to hear him jam with pino palladino

[anotherdrummer23]

What a tremendous player. Awesome....

[zarna666]

Damn this man can really make the drums sing.!!!!!!!!!!

Can't really say his the best but can asure you that he's one of the really really best drummers I've ever heard or seen in my life.!!!!!!

[diequinox]

This pleases my ears so!!!!!



[991104]

you know, just blowing the casual bubble here and there

[123BenThere]

hes crazy with those symbols

[thatguy0027]

Theres no such thing as gods, there is only Carter Beauford!!!

[redapplefiend]

BROKE 1,000,000!!!!!!!!!! :D WOO-HOO!!!!!

[astorianstigmata]

The Nod he Gives Dave At 3:22 Says Let's Rock This Motherfucker

[jangel2481]

This guy is chewing gum and blowing bubbles while doing the solo...

[Foscoify]

I want to marry the person who tunes his drums. Just fabulous sound.

[aloug007]

i was unaware he had three arms...

[mhsquads4869]

@aloug007 you mean four!! haha

[123BenThere]

@aloug007 Is that a reference to his amazing drumming or a dick joke? :)

[itsallgood1507]

This is a great version -

[JesseKolp]

I love carter with a passion.. but im not getting anything from this solo?

[Yuengling8090]

@JesseKolp You serious? He rapes the drums and makes me rape the replay button

[JesseKolp]

@Yuengling8090 This is nothing i couldnt learn in a week of practicing? just alot of double strokes and fast singles...

[Foscoify]

@JesseKolp - You can't teach hands with that kind of feel and that kind of speed. Yeah, the flans and double strokes are identifiable but the speed and the consistency is a gift. out of this world.

[jetsterx]

@JesseKolp the crux of music is not replication. that's why pop music today all sounds like the same over-produced crap. music comes from the soul, it's improvisation. you could learn his solo in a week, but that's all you're doing. playing Beauford's solo. you're not making music.

[JesseKolp]

@jetsterx yes i absolutely agree with that statement, but this solo wasnt a work of art to him, he wasnt putting all that much emotion into it, hes flaunting. ive seen some serious art come out of his mind, but this is just getting the point across he can play well and look good doing it, hence the bubble.

[JesseKolp]

@jetsterx as wel as the smoke machines going off...

[slimyp]

faaaaaaaak!!!!!!!!!



[Feibankiksa]

61 people love miley cirus drummer

[calvin7627]

There is a "best" in music and he is just that. not to say that there is no one greater, but damn it they have got really big shoes to fill.

[DaSoggyRiceCake]

61 people couldn't figure out how to play the cymbals in high school

[domdecosa]

You can clearly hear his bubble gum pop at 1:44!

[spoot388]

@domdecosa that's not his gum popping. if you listen closely, you'll hear 2 other "pops" before he even blows the bubble. it sounds like its just someone clapping and one lined up with the bubble popping.

[domdecosa]

@spoot388 Nope, sorry... you're wrong.

[JackassEatADonkeyDiC]

i have the same kit just not as many toms

[vezok200]

Se tragó el chicle 4:09 jajaja !!!!

[mattdrumsss]

he can do that AND chew gum at the same time

[DaPAPES]

my pants just jizzed in me....

[sonicmarsh232]

LOL carter's face at 4:09

[JMo4Sho]

What show is this from?

[tyrantt23]

I'm baffled.

[joeydeleste]

Carter is a Drum God, shiva with her six arms wouldn't have been able to do that solo in her best days

[udeemax]

@joeydeleste Shiva is the name of a male God. You must mean 'Kaali'...

[mjohnson2824]

does anyone know where to get the entire version of this song? drum solo and all?

[BroArmoDillo]

They call him Big Dick Beauford.

[GeNToXiiCz]

im better

[mjcalamari]

@GeNToXiiCz if u think that ur a retard 

[sonicmarsh232]

@GeNToXiiCz people who say stuff like this on youtube without leaving some sort of proof, obviously are lying

[tennisIS4pussys]

"What the fuck is boyd wearing?" "No idea." It sounds like they actually said that! You can def hear carter saying "no idea" crystal clear

[ToreGistrup]

1:42 is that gut blowing bubbles? that is just fukkin' sick.

[delpoint1]

RESPECT!!!!!!

[muners001]

And that right there is how babys are made

[redapplefiend]

Obviuosly, 60 people have never experienced a drum-gasm.

[BananaBobCheeseHat]

60 people smell like poop

[gor1l1a]

60 people have inferiority complex.

[unclebobby1000]

i can drum about 70 times better than him :O

[hiroucla]

Who are the 60 people disliking this?

[lostvoltz]

Kick booty Carter. Nice. Some only dream of such !

[aspinningmill]

Yes you are

[Mrg00dVibes]

60 deaf people must have played this video

[anthsss]

@Mrg00dVibes even if those 60 people who disliked it were deaf they would still be able to see how insanely good this drum solo is.

[chris0bannon]

looks a little cloudy in there...

[Kelleym89]

Best drummer in the world!!!!!!! LOOOVVEEEE :):):)

[dtringler01]

Thumbs up for Carter for president.

[rabm730]

where is this at?!

[TyvanausauroRex]

The Best Drummer o the World ;D

[800adam008]

i was watching a video of danny carey and everyone was talking about how incredibly amazing he is, but it's like all drummers like that do is play randomness as fast as they can, but carter makes a drum solo into a song by itself

[fs07]

@800adam008 .....I don't know which Danny Carey vid you saw, but that's definitely not his style. Thrashing is not what he does, that's for Joey Jordison and other speed-freaks to handle. Every Danny Carey solo I've seen has been creative and original without losing the feel of the beat of the song, something that Carter does too, just in another style.

That being said, Carter fucking rules.

[keepntyme]

The Carter Beauford Band!!!! Two step aside Dave! FREAK'IN AMAZING!

[sdauylolo]

super tare.. mereu mi-am dorit sa invat sa cant la tobe , dar nu am avut ocazia... :( la ce ne uitam aqma este un adevarat talent si da o lectie tuturor tobosarilor .. desi e greu de spus ca unu e mai bun decat celalalt , deoarece fiecare e cu stilul lui ... de asemenea imi place travis barker.. god smack, neil peart si multi alti .. iar carter este un nou idol al meu ... intradevar suuper dak as sti si eu macar 10 la suta din c stie acest artist as fi fericit mertita toate laudele !!!!!!!!!!!!

[biohead66]

1.43 : Let me throw a bubblegum pop in my solo as if my hands and feet weren't enough.

[TheBornAnnoyed]

Carter is the coolest. :)

[visitorNX01]

hi is the ONE ORGASMATRON

[howardchief]

1:51 to 2:01. Wow.

[oldskooler507]

Great shirt @ 5:19 haha I'm gonna get me one!!

[willie33040]

I'd give both of my toes to play like this! ( ^ _ ^ ) Wait...I might need those for the kick drum!

[Dannyyankou]

@idkhedidit your username should be idkshit

[Cashmoneyallstars]

I see the symbols move... but I don't always see the drumstick that hit it.  Dude is fast.

[Irish22Rocker]

still everytime i watch closely and listen im amazed.

[santaslayer22]

It's not a real drummer! It's a robot programmed by God Himself.

[tennisIS4pussys]

How can ppl dislike this?? Fucking retards, must be black eyed peas fans or something like that

[mikeyC7th]

Drum solos by the same are great but hes doing it in time with the music. Guys fuckin great

[WhHendrix]

Simply amazing

[equinox521]

He is really good, but I can make those drums sing just as good as him! i KNOW I will here a lot of crap for this posting but oh well it's true.

[ZMANIAC87]

@equinox521 Nah, I'm only going to give you crap for spelling "hear" wrong.

[tarikghi]

@equinox521 I believe you because I can play like that as well.

[zombywoof112]

@equinox521 And i believe you because monkeys just flew out of my asshole!!

[Mtmcgjr]

O_o

God will seek a drum lesson from Mr. Beauford when he passes into the next realm.

[ryanratliff14]

Does anyone know where this was? so i could try and find it on itunes or something.

[tarikghi]

practice!!!!

[vballfreakgbn1]

"Like" is an understatement

[TheBoxInTheBox]

Carter Beauford, The Rev and Mike Portnoy are my favourite drummers!

[MrDarksoldier5501]

3:10

D:

[Masterworkee]

best drummer :D

[mojoojojoo]

i love how hes chewing gum and blowing bubble. multitasker

[MrTreyb32]

wat kind of snare is he using, i love it

[Frutoses]

Carter is doing those dishes like mamma told him. Beautiful

[eap5000]

They best part is that he can blow bubbles while doing it.

[AmazingThirst]

the signature bubble gum at 1:44

[Nijax02]

Just another day at the office.

[2cfhdh1]

Awsome 

[jacobcolour]

he is a flailing octopus of awesome

[derrick307j]

I never liked dmb, but this man IS BADD!! And for the drummer debate, all the greats, buddy rich, carter beaufort, danny carey, chris adler, you could argue that they are the best at what they do.As a musician Ive never seen it as a contest, just certain people are a cut above.

[SDSdrummer17]

1:44 Carter blows a bubble. Awesome.

[cvillemag]

At about 1:30 I just started to laugh cause it was so ridiculously awesome

[impigglywiggly]

i love how hes fucking blowing bubbles with his gum while he does this

[headstock48]

Carter for President!

[timpicks20]

Just came here directly from the Neil Peart drum solo on "YYZ".  I like this one better, simply for it's understated voicing. There's a part in YYZ where Neil is simply pounding the hell out of his snares, while Carter uses multiple voices when he plays. I find it to be more technically and sonically interesting.

[ohyeahstevo]

@timpicks20 Dude check out all of Buddy Rich drumming. Unreal. You've most likely watched Neil Peart's "El Batterista" solo. Gotta check that out and his tribute to Buddy Rich. I more like YYZ for the guitar solo. Then if you like Bass guitar check out Vic Wooten.

[brantc]

They should remove the dislike button for those that dont know how to use it.

It is for decoration only.

[headstock48]

@brantc No shit. Excuse the language.

[KCdrummer94]

beautiful and beauford both start with the same 4 letters for a reason.

[33rdPatriot]

For years I thought CB played those quiet, drifting-off notes actually quietly, softly, with minimal hand motion. But this video shows him playing those "quiet" notes actually at Forte power (or more), meaning that the "trick" of his apparent quiet playing isn't going from ppp to f, but going from f to fffff, "turned down" by side effect of recording technique.

[Thousandfeetdown]

@33rdPatriot In reply to that man, for studio work, carter would obviously ghost his notes properly, go watch some of his studio videos. He achieves that without adjustments to the recording. But when playing live you need a totally different feel, and ACTUALLY playing the notes that ghosted would be harder to mic, and wouldn't impart as much energy into the song. It just shows how versatile of a musician he is.

[Kobeownzu81]

@33rdPatriot watch number 41 from his DVD. he does very nice ghost notes on that song and its allhim no tricks. He can be really gentle, but most drummers just do nuts when they play live 

[jjy1463]

Positively beautiful. Beauford masters the cymbals as well as any drummer alive.

[ryanpatrickking]

jeeeeessssuuussssssssss

[erikinhawaii]

I thought I was pretty good at drumming...i am not putting my set up on Ebay

[poppinawheelie]

if walked into that concert at 3:03 to 3:23, they would just think to themselves, ".....we're at a DMB concert, right?"

[girltant]

why do people hit the dislike button. it just doesnt make sense at all

[MyHandsofstone]

well done, but the new man in town is now ray 3 hands snow...

[HighVoltageSkate1]

Hes just enjoying his gum and play some drums on the side

[KCdrummer94]

1:44, hahah blew a bubble
