    Carter Beauford



    Drummer: Carter Anthony Beauford
    Main Style: Funk Rock
    Main Band: Dave Matthews Band (founding member)
    Brief Summary: Carter Beauford has been with the Dave Matthews Band since its inception in 1991 and his unique open left handed lead on a right handed drum set was due to watching and copying his favorite drummers on TV but reversing the drum set up as if looking from the audience's point of view which led to his ability to lead with both hands.

    Other Facts: Carter's first exposure to drumming was at age 3 when his dad had to take him to see a Buddy Rich concert since he couldn't find a babysitter. Carter has been performing professionally since age 9.

    You can hear Lenny White and Billy Cobham in Carter's playing as well as his own, more modern linear style. Such a unique sound that is hard to mistake from anyone else. Beauford's the man!

    Carter is the man. There's a lotta Dennis Chambers in his playing, too. . .
    And the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw. . .

    Love. <3

    One of my first loves, actually. In my early teens, DMB was at its peak. I used to lay on my bedroom floor with my eyes closed, listening to Under the Table and Dreaming... Just tuning into Carter.

    He's the man.

    I don't listen to much DMB but Carter is one of my favorite drummers. The man has ridiculous chops but never overdoes it. Very "pocket"-oriented kinda guy! He's got a cool set-up too.
