Carter McLean Solo Piano and Drum Set

[@woodentulike2no]

No one does it any smoother or cleaner than Carter probably one of the greatest examples of touch and feel of any drummer living today

[@KRIMHDrummer]

Can’t decide what’s nicer, drums or piano melodies? Getting an E.S.T. vibe ✨

[@nicklangmusic]

Total E.S.T vibe!

[@ockidocki]

@@nicklangmusic Yup. RIP Esbjörn Svensson... I was lucky enough to see them live shortly before Esbjörn passed. One of my favourite concerts ever.

[@Chickenkoff]

My thoughts exactly. Very beautiful!

[@hugorezende199]

so nice to see that you are a metal drummer that enjoys all diferent kinds of drumming. Your compositions are very nice also. Carter has indeed a very interesting and tasteful playing.

[@dannylugojr3428]

Both

[@rossodom812]

Some of the coolest drumming I've ever seen. And I've been watching drummers a long time. Mr McLean plays with his heart.

[@rob140138]

I’m a drummer and have been a fan of drummers since middle school, I’m 64 now. My favorites are John Guerin, Steve Gadd, Vinnie, Buddy, and many others. I ran across a video of Carter playing at what looked like the deck of a restaurant with a quartet and he absolutely killed it. The whole band was great, but I noticed Carters amazing touch and feel. This video just confirms what an amazing player he is. There’s a reason he’s been playing Broadway shows for years, he’s the best of the best and I’m a big fan.

[@dominickgiallombardo2921]

I’ve been following your playing & your style and never shared a comment but this song speaks to my inner soul, I don’t know how else to put it! Thank You…

[@kckrye]

Its not the song, its actually the plaid shirt

[@jonathanbormann5077]

Agreed

[@williamperri3437]

No, it's the warmth of those cymbals and that snare drum.

[@rhythmfield]

@@kckrye it’s the power and depth of flannel

[@timdrums1]

Just such incredibly lovely playing in every department. Carter’s articulation is just….sublime. Also a shout out for those gorgeous Dry Dark Xists- my 20” dry dark crash is my favourite cymbal. Up to now, have been unable to find a ride in the same range that…sounds like a satisfying ride. But that 19” one Carter’s using has definitely got my attention.

[@probablynoturdad]

You always have the perfect touch. I love your sense of dynamics and phrasing. Everything Ive seen from you, and ive seen much of this channel, has so much conviction, intimacy, and awareness that its really easy to hear, feel, and see why you might use certain ideas in the very precise way you did, even when they're complicated. You make me feel really comfy and eager to be stretched, and then you dole out the stretch very appropriately and musically. That fucking bottomless, harry potter pocket. You must be so much fun to play with. Just want to throw out my appreciation because your whole approach is so beautiful and it makes my heart sing.

[@cartermclean]

Making me blush…… thank you 🙏🏻

[@tortillasarenotbiceps7622]

Well said and agreed.

[@Iloveyhwh_1974]

Carter, you’re amazing. Your vibes are so welcoming, peaceful & soulful. I think every drummer has strived for this. You’ve captured it, effortlessly. I’ve never seen a drummer quite like you. A drummer who understands all the dynamics of not just drums, but the song. Love your drumming.

[@Pigsandpies1984]

This is what I think I should sound like when I’m feeling jazzy in the basement. Listen back to the recoding and I sound like a bunch of pots and pans in a dryer.

[@dangershgol3298]

Listening to this put me in a good place and forgot the rest of my day up to this point.

[@cartermclean]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@wilfredomendez3450]

Beautiful simply beautiful

[@derrickhart1976]

Your feel on the drums is second to none!

[@ianpopp87]

This is great. Something about drum & piano duet really brings out the musicality of the drums as an instrument, to me.

[@thomaskleinhans2384]

Entirely from the inner experience, shining poetry! So profound!

[@robpittman3132]

It would be super cool if you would release a “drumless” version of the record as well for us to jam with

[@AerisVelivolus]

It sounded like the background music of an adventurer sailing on the high sea... Amazing and inspiring as always.

[@AlexMPruteanu]

So sweet.......and somewhere maybe in the back of my brain I hear like a ghost half-time shuffle playing there in the background....

[@jonathanbormann5077]

Can't wait for the album. I hope there's more like this on it. Must have listened to this 10x now in the last 2 hrs

[@sonap8620]

I could listen to this for hours,amazing

[@jasonglasmann3734]

There's only one thing cooler than drums, and that's music... Beautiful work Carter. Utah Kid.......

[@steevodrums4749]

Simply ..Complex ..absolutely beautiful ...thanks ...your playing motivates me to play and create ...

[@courtbeall7768]

Carter inspires me with every performance.Grace and emotion.

[@johnweyers2685]

Beautifully subtle, tasteful playing.

[@laRoz67]

Sensitive, musical playing. Beautiful. Lovely track too.

[@jmfs3497]

So nice, I must listen twice...

[@jmfs3497]

[@eseryener6896]

Thanks for beautiful music

[@at16370]

I almost fell asleep in bliss from this beautiful music and amazing performance...

[@nielsemilbechnaumann]

I Think i found a new favorite Drummer… I have played for 20 years, and i dont know how i didnt know about McLean… What a beautiful tasteful sound!

[@drumsrock75]

Absolutely beautiful. Everything about this is inspiring.

[@nram3930]

Never cease to amaze me, can't wait to meet you in May!

[@KevinZ2269]

Perfect Cymbals - perfect set - perfect tuning - perfect feel. Smooth as silk!

[@tonysaporito8880]

Musicianship at its finest. Thank you

[@toyotaco21]

A TRIP! .. I listened to this 3 times, 1st KZbin, 2nd no video, 3rd KZbin again ... off time on the drums are hitting right in the soul of the time ... the Piano is the constant story teller and the drums the key moments ... beautiful work mate!

[@TheFrommerhold]

Great touch and sound. Speaks to me very much. Bravo!

[@markielinhart]

Absolutely my kind of drumming and that piano… Wow! Think I’ll be back for more, thank you 👏🇦🇺✌️

[@thomasgroovebude9815]

absolutely deep emotional

[@petergrostl1333]

That was utterly amazing. So beautiful and pure. Thank you so much

[@blahblahoink]

Nice! Great cymbal sounds

[@NINJADRUMMER_]

this without a doubt has to be the most beautiful song i have ever heard.

[@gt3065]

One the most lyirical, dynamic, musical players on the planet.

[@theirritatedirishman5440]

That is so big and full sounding! Sits in this beautiful bottom end with tons of lower mid tonalities.

[@Pentoute45]

Damn it’s good to hear from you again. Brilliant piece of music as always. Thanks for the emotion, inspiration and anything else words can’t express…

[@craigfrober316]

This heals my soul!

[@jeffb5468]

This is got to be the most beautiful thing I have ever heard, I say thing because it is beyond music, the connection you have with dynamics is incredible,

[@mikkokakela6158]

Beautifullness! 😊 Thank you Carter! ☀️

[@drummersk5318]

Very moving!

[@Daywalkr]

Amazing, i am so fascinated watching this 🔥🙏

[@jolyoncox]

Great to see you again Carter. Thanks.

[@Patrikblombergsweden]

This is mindblowing-ly good.

[@hadenbaillie1833]

Great sound and taste Congratulations

[@zvensabri2533]

Super great music and Rythm

[@steevodrums4749]

Simply...Complexly..Beautiful..Was nice to meet you a couple years ago in Langley Canada 🇨🇦 at one of your clinics ..Cheers ..Keep on keeping on

[@soundgotti]

This is fantastic, chill and so cool to watch undiscovered talent.

[@drummingdog5706]

Wow! That was beautiful. Your interpretation on the drums was musically brilliant

[@davidhuckstep9703]

I could listen to this all day awesome playing

[@bobweber4140]

Beautiful nice touch

[@JayChuckOnFire]

So very articulate. Complex and delicate. Nice🤘

[@Rudog47]

Excellent audio. Thanks for giving us this video, man

[@pedrorodriguez319]

Wow....I can listen all day

[@jordanswaindrums]

Beautifully played as always Carter. Tone choice and feel is 10/10

[@beebobalula]

This is very good, smooth, delicate drummng.

[@lcarthel]

Thank you for bringing me peace.

[@bradbianco]

The sound and texture you choose, coupled with wonderfully fluid technique, is always an inspiration for me to play for the music and allow myself to be caught up in it. Thank you sir.

[@glfriendliness9793]

Perfect ghost notes! Very lovely tune here sire!

[@BlackArtBMX]

This was beautiful and very somber. Mixing and playing is out of this world as always.

[@epsilonzeromusic]

funny you mentioned "mixing" since i was just thinking "i wish the mix was better. the piano is overshadowing the drumming". which is a shame because i found the drumming much more interesting than the piano section (which is to be expected of course since he's a drummer)

[@BlackArtBMX]

@@epsilonzeromusic Now that you mentioned it, the drums could be a little louder.

[@Studerphil]

I´d looove to own a Jazz Fest Snare man...also love the playing of course :)

[@ritabrooks9059]

That was great! Beautiful double strokes! Amazing drum and cymbal sound quality.

[@EleniEliades_]

Lovely Drumming...🌵💡🎵🔥👌🌔✨🌌🐾

[@alexwild1435]

Beautiful. Getting Cinematic Orchestra vibes from this.

[@peterpaluska7745]

That part at the very beginning where you're just hitting the ride on the offbeat is more artful than most drumming out there today!

[@GuitarbenderS]

Hooray, an album announcement! I'll be checking it out, this sounds great!

[@wefysan58]

Sweet dark and deliscious

[@karlgibson4202]

Got lost listening to this. Stunning! One of my favourite drummers since i saw you on drumeo a few years back

[@OogaB0oga]

This is so beautiful, serene and clean, Mr. McLean.

[@rolandhillmann7475]

Man grooove without Ende 😍

[@AN-te4ij]

Carter, lovely piece. Great playing as always. Thank you

[@debralynnpaxton5238]

Love it ! Love the bright sound of that Ride Cymbal and Crash. The entire kit sounds great .

[@DarrenMcGill442]

Breathtaking! Wow

[@Ranger1216]

Thank you for inspiring me with this musical style of drumming. It’s like the “Eric Satie” style. I listen to your other videos that had me hooked on the style and technique. The cymbals sound like soft waves and winds….significant contribution to the history of drums….a new era….

[@bnashvegas]

So awesome.

[@stevendunton5520]

Beautiful piano playing. And of course your drumming is always perfectly tasteful !

[@paulf2723]

This is so perfectly lazy and controlled that it's almost overpowering...... Just beautiful. ❤

[@maximpopov199]

Yeah! Carter you Rock Man! Its a Coolest short drum film i ever seen lately 😁✌️

[@rosariocatanzaro361]

Bravissimo.

[@gwcjr2102]

Man you’re amazing! The way that you change dynamics throughout is just something I wish I was better at! You sir are inspiring thank you for another great video!!!

[@christerpalmgren2162]

Hi Carter! I'm also big fan of Evans Skin tone drumheads, so nice sound. Your playing are very musical. Keep on. Love it. Crille Borås, Sweden

[@garysmith3173]

Just beautiful.😘🥁🌻

[@tedfurlo2268]

But of course, this man's music sensibility would translate right over to piano. The tenderness of this piece showcases his command of a 'language' few can 'speak'. Hypnotically transcendent. Still Spellbound, Ted Furlo

[@longodiego]

It is just amazing!!!! Simple and beautiful !!!!

[@fermendozadrums]

Just Wow! Beautiful… ❤️

[@michaelkosty2077]

Really enjoyed listening/watching.
