I'll say something that probably nobody mentions, but your work on ambience in your recordings is as excellent as your drumming. It brings the exitement out of your instrument a whole lot!

[@cartermclean]

Good ears 👂🏻 👍🏻

[@joshsinclair7548]

I agree! A great balance of punch with enough breath from the room mixed in.

[@bokajllensch661]

@@cartermclean Im suprised how much punch the toms hold. They sound far more direct than I would have anticipated from that akg in the back. Im guessing you used some nice dynamic effects?

[@jeffsadowski7759]

Everything here is stunning guy:)

[@AeroDude73]

Those sound AMAZING!! Beautiful finish but they sound soooo damn good!!

[@BlackArtBMX]

Those floor toms are highly illegal in most of the world.

[@nairnodrums]

Buttery, dynamic, tasteful, musical, tribal, relaxed, effortless and never overpowering @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="825">13:45</a> just blows my musical mind. … oh and the kit is just gorgeous

[@nitronamous]

I think this may be the best sounding Ludwig kit I've ever heard with one of my favorite drummers making them sing! Absolutely glorious

[@plasticmummyhead]

wow, so musical, I love drummers who pull out the sound instead of hitting - beautiful, beautiful hands!

[@ralphhumphrey445]

What great sounding drums. As much as I like the toms and kicks, the snare just knocks me out. Ludwig has always made some of the finest snare drums around. Your playing is stellar and the demonstration was wonderful. Thanks.

[@ejames6431]

I love Ludwig! As a kid in the 70's I learned about the brand and to this day still have them in the house. My Grandparents bought me a chrome Superphonic snare around 1974 for $75.00 Even when I am not playing them it is like art to me I like to have them displayed look at them.

[@timoheinrich8763]

When you listen to the toms keep in mind that there is no close mics. But they sound like if there were close mics!

[@mdomme65]

Beautiful drums…and inspiring playing. I’ve played and followed Ludwig drums for over 45 years, and that may be the most gorgeous kit they’ve ever produced…

[@bernardhanaux3479]

wouah,super big and good song..fabulous

[@CharlesTPrimm]

There are not better sounding drums than Ludwig Classics, period. Cheers.

[@johnwilmer2551]

the tone is unbelievable deja vu of the drum sounds on all the classic records pure

[@ccjacks3]

That’s the nicest sounding 13” tom I’ve ever heard. The kit is incredible.

[@tdrum21]

That size usually doesn’t treat me well 😜

[@dustincassidy]

@@tdrum21 I was gonna say that too. I don’t know what it is about 13” toms. It’s really hard to make them sound good.

[@litin5564]

Those floor toms! They almost click but without sounding dull and choked. Wow.

[@joshrichensproducer2201]

The 32nd notes while randomly swapping up between doubles and singles is such an insane flex. Like it's hard to even see what's going on with your hands there and it just kinda sounds like a fast snare fill but it's actually wildly technical and difficult.

[@inmemoryofin]

The snare sounds to me like a black beauty but distinctively wooden too, very interesting

[@thanewestfall3042]

Absolutely the best sounding drums I have ever heard. Only Ludwig's could sound this good.

[@NickCostaMusic]

Those first two kick drum hits just hit ya right in the chest! Killer playing Carter, and phenomenal kit Ludwig!

[@pjones8404]

Sounds like Ludwig!! Congratulations. Been playing Ludwig for 50 years now. Experiment with them. These shells are so versatile! High, low or in between, they can handle any tuning range. Lovely finish!! Enjoy!!!!!

[@andredavies]

There really is something about Ludwig drums. They sound stunning.

[@apooyosucks]

Carter should be deemed the "tuning god". Hearing those perfectly tuned toms is soooooo satisfying 😌

[@jd6356]

I always felt that Ludwig made the best sounding, best looking and most fun to play Drums ANYWHERE .I started playing in 1957 Ludwig was always the best ...I love the sound of these as well. DIZZY

[@FrancescoDAndrea]

Incredible kit, incredible fills, incredible taste in the playing. The kick sounds like Bonham!

[@rhythmista7707]

Yeah, and it's a 22x14 !!

[@JoshuaWShanks]

Absolutely beautiful kit and awesome punchy throaty sound! Couldn’t go to a more deserving drummer!

[@tomkaufman3914]

Ludwig does it again,phenomenal sound and stunning finish,gotta get one.

[@markusthedrummer8143]

First off congratulations on obtaining such an amazing amazing drum set. Everything sounds absolutely divine, but I cannot get over how heavenly that snare sounds. I’m a snare geek and that thing sounds amazing. If I had that drum, I probably wouldn’t eat sleep or go to work because I would be playing that drum 24/7

[@tmaddrummer]

Possibly the best sounding Ludwig Drums that I've ever heard, and they are gorgeous. Is it just my imagination Carter, or do you go into a whole new level of playing that you seem to enjoy more whenever you de-tune your snare drum?

[@cartermclean]

True story... yes I like it low ha

[@stevepompei3694]

I'll have what he's having

[@DG-sf9ei]

Lmao, you mean lower the pitch by detune, or actually detune(by proper use of term)on purpose so there's uneven tension across the lugs? I can't imagine any drummer who'd intentionally detune their snare drum or any drum, because most snare drums will detune themselves in short time. Which is the biggest pia about them. Not to mention any detuned drum means uneven tension across the drum which leads to warped drum rims and eventually warped shells....if that's what you're implying by detune, then hopefully nobody ends up buying anything you've once owned, ha. That's not a percussionist equipment, that's trash.

[@tmaddrummer]

@@DG-sf9ei I started to comment and then I stopped…. Not worth it.

[@TheEleatic]

I think this is the deepest, warmest tone I have ever heard or will ever hear.

[@issessein]

Great sounding floor toms. 👍

[@claystaggs8908]

I’m a PDP guy myself but nowadays all the companies are making great kits. And Ludwig is definitely a heavy hitter. The drums sound amazing and are absolutely beautiful to boot.

[@julsrique9148]

Best floor toms ever! Sounds is incredible BIG!

[@sensibg]

I like the sound of the round-over bearing edges on the floor toms.

[@NoVaCharlie]

Dynamic control is legit. Beautiful kit, too.

[@Anton_Drummer]

Beautiful. And the playing is even better.

[@dianeruiz0721]

I’m a female drummer from the 70s, and my favorites, that was the Ludwig Quadra plus. I owned it in jet black gloss. Hard to keep the fingerprints off but beautiful one very clean. They sounded amazing. They had four concert Tom Tom with no heads on the bottom. I used a Rogers Dynasonic chrome snare. A beautiful sounding set! I recorded with it, and the sound was pure heaven!

[@tb7077]

Man these are the standard for maple kits. Sing so sweet. Beautiful.

[@handidrummer]

I love how there's an apology with the big kit, then you just completely play perfectly LOL

[@markoveljic626]

Perfect, wooow!!! Thanks 👍 for video

[@Anton_Drummer]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="829">13:49</a> HOLY SHIT! That flow is on a Weckl level. Absolutely amazing.

[@steverizundrums]

Worlds best sounding drums…period 🥁💥 awesome playing as always Carter! 🤘🏻

[@LoganDameryDrums]

I got cold chills when you first started playing it. Amazing mix/engineering but ontop of that, this kit sounds killer. My GAWSH.

[@yandan7010]

"Sloppy playing..." Dude, no. Beautiful feel. The kit sounds unreal 🤤

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Man, Carter. That is a gorgeous kit. Edit: Holy crap, they sound so good! When you brought out the 18” bass, that had to be some of my favorite work from you.

[@markward3730]

Wow. Nice and throaty on the toms.

[@hiptoalieu]

JAW DROPPING!!!! Carter that is one PHENOMENAL kit!!

[@matthiasedwards294]

unbelievable depth in that sound. So round and smooth! Not even individually mics on toms! Holy smokes!

[@23mooseknuckle]

Golly. I think you've sold me on some Ludwigs! They've always had the sweetest snare drums. This kit matches up.

[@JP4drumsFarrell]

Incredibly expressive--Those drums talk!!

[@paulstix1]

Amazing playing . Love your dynamics and groove , most uplifting & inspiring.

[@dancalabrese3523]

Incredible sounding kit! Perfection! Best sounding Ludwig wood snare I've ever heard. The best-looking Ludwig wood finished kit I've ever seen.

[@footnotedrummer]

Tuned perfectly! They sound amazing and so do you, my friend! Nice dynamic playing.

[@ethanpearson897]

Such a pro behind the kit, incredible

[@UPdan]

Once you switched to 18" bass drum we could really see that beautiful finish. Damn !!! 👍👍👍

[@Romans219]

You are fun to watch Carter! Love your taste in drums and cymbals.

[@MartinMooreMusic]

When it comes to modern drums, I just don’t think it gets any better than Classic Maple. Great playing!!

[@timb350]

Only Carter...can make a kit sound THAT good with just a room mic. Anyone else would be processing the hell out of it. Carter just picks the right drums, picks the right heads, and tunes it just right. If I ever become a king-shit famous drummer...I'm gonna hire Carter to be my drum tech. Nobody tunes drums better.

[@43dukedog]

Wow that sounds incredible !

[@mrelduce]

carter, my favorite thing about your videos is that they make me want to practice. great playing as always, floors pack a serious punch.

[@SturleyArt]

Beautiful looking kit, beautiful sounding kit and your playing was awesome.

[@jas_bataille]

Didn't expected you behind a 3 rack toms kit throwing some gospel chops!!! Incredible kit and playing.

[@banditY2K]

Beautiful kit. Great playing as usual.

[@GregPol89]

Good hands and taste plus great sounding drums made this kit sing! True master of sound and inspiration, thank you!

[@em8340]

Absolutely incredible!

[@Slipstreamaudio]

Fantastic playing. Fantastic kit!

[@Slipstreamaudio]

Hey Carter, is this telegram thing real or bot spam?

[@MirkkoDeMaio]

Beautiful sounding kit (and cymbals of course!!), those 14" and 16" floor toms sounds absolutely amazing! Have fun!

[@redglaremusic]

I think I’ve legitimately discovered what it means to be left feeling speechless.

[@ZigRhino]

Amazing! That things ready for the “Catalina Wine Mixer”…

[@_uohaloran]

Whew -- how playing so clean can be so dirty. How fortunate it is to live in a time where you don't have to show up to a clinic or order physical media to be able to see this kinda content -- what an amazing demo, man.

[@garybrennan8444]

I am in awe of your talent. Every time I watch one of your videos. I’ve been drumming for 40 years and I don’t have 1/1000th of your talent. I’m embarrassed to even claim to be a drummer.

[@drumsandstix128]

Those drums sound beautiful! So deep and throaty.

[@J-DUB-F1]

Gorgeous tubs!!........I gotta say, the floor toms are the stars for me 😏👍. The choice of round edges was a winner!!. They've got that thick throaty THONK!. Perfect for the studio. Really cool to hear how they achieved that finish. Never heard of fuming?

[@Ds_Drums]

Wow beautiful kit and great playing. That set gives you a lot of options. Congratulations and enjoy!

[@Nolansparks1244]

Very nice.

[@mickgentry8128]

Carter you know how to bring out even more Ludwig love in a guy! haha ! gorgeous kit, sounds amazing, love your playing Blessings to you and family.

[@guitaristbiker]

that kit sounds really pure even in both configurations!

[@harrisonmackenzie]

Those floor toms!! 🤩

[@cartermclean]

Right?!

[@bobbyjones2112]

You’re right, it does sound unbelievably good, holy crap!

[@JohnnyQ714]

Magnificent sound!! As to be expected!!

[@stephengrant8505]

The drums sound phenomenal but the floor toms ….. WOW! Great job my friend 👍😀

[@cartermclean]

Thanks a lot!

[@DonaldSturgeAnthonyMcKenzieII]

Beautiful playing

[@joyousracket8767]

This is a great example, IMHO, of the difference between the 45 deg. edges and the round-over. I love the punch of the floor toms!

[@peterpiece2102]

I shocked! 🤤🤨💥💣

[@rogerwelsh2335]

The 14” deep kick is amazing. The floor toms are off the charts and the snare pretty perfect.

[@bigstef2010]

awesome sound and fantastic playing ! perfect combination !

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Love playing big kits, so many color on the palette 🎨

[@mk-musicproduction]

I had a very similar kit built for me back in 1990. Maple Classic Custom. 10, 12, 13, 14 and...15 ! 22x16 BD. In Charcoal Stain. Still the best kit I ever owned. Still going strong after many world tours and much abuse and probably more than a few thousand shows.

[@davidb8259]

Sounds great 👍

[@DrummerDanny76]

These drums look gorgeous and sound amazing !!!

[@RogerBergqvist]

Wow!! This kit is super great. Be proud!

[@m.christian-budd6964]

It's so useful to have the various sizes. But as soon as you got on the small kit, the excitement level skyrocketed for me.

[@sephy44]

Wonderful kit. Sounds great!

[@gustavobilbao8963]

EXCELLENT !!!!!

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

Fantastic sounding (and looking!) 🥁

[@billmartinez1796]

They sound amazing!🥁🥁

[@drumhead75]

Not really an Evans guy here. My new Tama came outfitted with them and I’m not crazy about them…but my goodness….WOW!!! Those toms sound amazing. Nice amount of punch and attack. That is a beautiful sounding kit!!!

[@louiemalvessi]

Congratulations, Carter! Thats an absolute dream come true!

[@Iloveyhwh_1974]

Carter is the best drummer of the realm.

[@Timotolas]

Beautiful sound, the jazz kit sounds amazing! Congratulations and enjooooy!

[@CANNIMAGINE]

Absolutly Beautiful looks and they sound awesome. Nice Job playing Thank You.

[@zgaryhall]

That sound😍 beautiful drums😍

[@just_drums_please]

About 30 seconds into you playing, it finally hit me that only the snare and kick are close mic’d. 🤯 Crazy how full the mix sounds with such a minimal mic setup!
