EVANS DRUM HEADS ON 5 DRUM KITS

[@gwcjr2102]

The way you play and tune your drums make any heads sound great! Evan’s is lucky to have you sir! Well done!

[@cartermclean]

Thank you!

[@at16370]

Perfect playing, thanks for creative comparison for EVANS heads fans! I think it worth adding time codes for quick navigation: 3:13 Calftones on everything 5:33 Calftone snare, Strata 1000 toms, UV1 kick 8:45 Strata Stacatto snare, UV1 toms, EQ4 batter kick 10:38 Strata 1000 snare, Calftone toms, UV1 kick 14:09 UV1 snare, EC2 toms, EQ4 batter kick

[@LDdrums20]

Honestly dude, you have one of the best drum tones in the youtube scene. Evans should feel fortune to have you. Keep it up sir!

[@cartermclean]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@stevendunton5520]

I just discovered you while watching an Istanbul Dry Dark vid and you are very inspiring! Your playing is ridiculously awesome! I could only dream to be that proficient on the kit🥱😴. Pls make more vids🤟

[@EvansDrumheadsOfficial]

Welcome to the family, Carter!

[@cartermclean]

Very happy to be here!!!

[@Soohook]

EVANS Drum heads are fantastic. I've been playing on them for years. My solid maple Noble & Cooley snare sounds excellent with them. Immediately when I put them on, they already sound "broken in". Keep up the great work Evans!

[@yzman123456]

Love how this guy plays. So inspiring.makes me want to jump on the drums and play all day

[@olejakob9216]

Agree, I have a big need to get my Mac and keyboard and jam in superior drummer now 😍😍😍

[@Adixon5]

@@olejakob9216 he meant actually play the drums

[@olejakob9216]

@@Adixon5 thanks for the obvious info but for us who dosent have space for a kit we have to use keyboard so yeah im going to jam on my keyboard in superior drummer

[@danielkuhn4360]

@@olejakob9216 dude u should look into some cheap e-drums asap! They can be pretty compact, and with superior drummer will sound great.

[@olejakob9216]

Yeah , still not actual e-drum kit but I’ve looked at the Yamaha dd-65 to pair with superior drummer 3

[@my.dailymotivations]

Man I love the way this guy plays. One of the coolest out there.

[@Osully91]

Quality vid with quality drums! Mesmerised by the sounds.

[@DaSixSixOne]

Received my Strata 1000 from D’Addario today, less than 48hours after watching this video. It sounds great on my vintage Supraphonic and I’m really impressed with the speedy delivery. Thanks Carter and D’Addario!

[@EJCAudio]

Yep, I’m tempted to try that Strata Staccato on my Supra!

[@Wordman67]

I just received my Strata 1000 today which I intend to put on my Supra! Can't wait to hear how it sounds! I intend on pairing it with an Orchestral 300 snare side.

[@rippindrummer666]

The classic maples with the ec2s sounded thunderous.

[@Tiger_Smash59]

You usually let your drums do the talking, but it’s nice to hear you speak on some of this stuff. Thanks Carter !

[@tonyjackson4099]

Such a solid player. No weaknesses. He obviously loves playing straight grooves and burying himself deep in the pocket, BUT, he's actually extremely versatile. He's one of those guys that could play a metal gig in the morning, a funk or hip-hop gig at noon, and then a straight jazz set at night.

[@gottadrumitup]

The playing here is fantastic as always and the recording is great. This video confirmed again something that I’ve believed and witnessed for many years as a professional touring drum technician. Evan’s heads almost ALWAYS sound better in person behind the drum kit and are easier to tune but consistently sound worse and than their Remo competition under microphones both studio and live. I’ll really miss the sound of the Remo heads on your drums Carter but I respect your appreciation for these. Evan’s is a great company to work with and I’m sure you’ll really enjoy playing them.

[@Paisteconvert]

I thought it was just ME that found Evans heads easier to tune. I have them on my kicks and toms, but I must admit that I've gone back to Remo for snare batters. 'Course I don't pretend to even have 10% of Carter's tuning or playing skills!

[@marcusfinchum6322]

*Strata 1000s instantly becoming out of stock everywhere.* Came for the tones... stayed for the playing!!!

[@gt3065]

My God the calftones on the first kit. Every rock kit should sound this good.

[@sergemichelerard7830]

Carter à un style de batterie très beau magnifique et il sait merveilleusement accorder ses instruments j adore bravo

[@butchcassidy3373]

Evans frosted on my DW design kit sounds so very nice. I'm so very pleased with the fat warm sound I get from them at a medium tuning.

[@davidsuprenant893]

Congratulations on your endorsement, I'll be sticking with remo,they just work for me.

[@nicklangmusic]

Yeah, man. I had an old 50’s Gretsch round badge, and those calf tones were great as a batter and reso combo on the toms. Nice stuff.

[@ClaudioPulito]

I’m really into drum gear but the player is always the key. This is the example.

[@goseeaboutagirl]

Definitely preferred the sound of the Remo heads, but congrats regardless!

[@Soohook]

Carter...I SO love your double stroke / buzz rolls...SO smooth...like hot butter on toast! Thank for your great videos!

[@warrenjonesonyoutub]

I’ve never been so full of drum envy in my life!!!!! Lol!!!! Carter, I haven’t been hip to you very long, but you have QUICKLY become one of my favorite players bro! Everything you touch sounds AMAZING!!! And it’s so inspiring!!!!!!! Thank you so much man and keep up the great work!!!!

[@jbfrite1]

Love the kit sounds. Thanks for taking time to do this video. I love Evans heads. I have never heard the stratas on a kit before. Thanks for all the info.

[@HaloAdmiral]

Been an Evans fan for years. The first heads that I got when I first started to seriously play drums. Glad to see you in the family :)

[@handidrummed]

I've played Evans, Remo, and Aquarian. Evans are by far my favorite. With the 360 design they tune up very easily. And I'm a fan of the UV1 coating.

[@groovegoon88]

Just listening to you Carter play makes me a better player, right over the bar line!

[@mountainhobbit1971]

good lawdy lawdy lawdy they all sound fantastic. LOVE the ride cymbal too. whew weeee...and the sound from that third drum set...wowzers. that snare!! laid back and groovy playing sir. Those calf tones have such a warm sound to them, and those EC2's, thunderous!

[@brodycuster3773]

I also just started using the same tom configuration you're using, and I was also just blown away by how effortlessly they just sound good. They have such a crazy tuning range and work everywhere!

[@MetalionMusic]

This is a really great and informative way to showcase the heads you are currently using. The video taught me a bit about some of the different heads that Evans offers, and now I am considering getting some of those Strata heads for some of my drums. I wasn't aware of that model until I watched this video. Thank you so much!

[@bohergoy]

What a great demo from one of the best around at the moment! Wonderful playing as usual and all the kits sound truly amazing. Well done Carter.

[@waltgdrums1]

As usual everything sounds great with Carter behind the kit. The Calftones for the win but man, those Istanbuls are amazing!

[@DeadtreeFilms1]

This honestly helped me decide to keep playing Evans. I was worried my sound wasn’t versatile, but after seeing how you made the kits sound, I wouldn’t want to try anything else. Cant wait to try the sticks!

[@alanh.gonzalez9164]

Same here!!

[@aaronreeves8376]

Great sound and playing!

[@esunsiete]

7:15 some "For big Sid" vibes 👌👌👌

[@DanielS-pu4eu]

That Standard sounds sweet, hangs with the other kits twice its price, great combo. I want to try this on my 3 ply B&O badge kit

[@DRUMAWAYEMAN]

This mans touch on the kit! WOOOOOOOOOO 🔥

[@ChristianMDrums]

I can hear that kind of "For Big Sid" thing at 7:20, love it!!!

[@bacobill]

This is how a masterful demo is done.. so why not get a master to demo them? This confirms all of my love for Evans heads and such beautiful drumming reminds me of why I play in the first place.. Thank you Carter and Evans

[@jello-tarzan]

Beautiful playing and tones, thanks for the video.

[@DrummerDanny76]

It's cool to see you with Evans now. Those drums sound great especially in my opinion the 7 piece kit. I love it. I've gotta get me a Ludwig maple classic drum kit. Congrats I know I'm a year late, Lol. Better late than never

[@zackedge69]

Happy for you, man. Thanks for all your inspiration. 🥁

[@tdrum21]

Congrats that’s amazing. Love Evans heads

[@wadsmitter511]

15:55 cleanest reverse doubles i've heard since Billy Cobham! And as always, the drums and tha playing sounds amazing!

[@cartermclean]

Too kind!

[@nathandrums3486]

I don't even understand what happened, but it's sounded amazing

[@GingerDrums]

I saw Billy a few times, Carter is way cleaner. Cobham has a much grittier and looser feel irl. Definitely no where near as clean as McLean... its in the name. But Cobham does know how to fit into incredible bands with unique parts like no other!

[@flops0317]

Came for the heads, stayed for the drumming. Happens everytime with you.

[@mathewshaw2772]

Carter you have tones to die for..Wonderful playing mate..Love what you bring to the table..Evans are lucky to have you on board..Maybe do a tuning vid..I would love to see how you tune..Keep up the great playing.

[@danielefalchetti1732]

Mister McLean congratulations you have proposed a drumming with high level grooves, it is really pleasant to listen to it. Only you with your drums played a rhythm piece for drums.Fantastic.👍🥁

[@mathewshaw2772]

The sound from the WFL kit in particular in my opinion..Wow wow wow!

[@martinkent_]

Just please don’t remove your Remo Black Dot video!!!!

[@JohnD72277]

black (and white) dots are some of the heads that keep me from going full Evans. I love them as reso heads. Wish Evans made some (that didn't look goofy)

[@OlliVimpari]

Those black dot Remos sound realy nice in that video!

[@jadeone]

@@JohnD72277 the white dot aquarians made me switch

[@JohnD72277]

@@jadeone as silly as this sounds, the dot isn’t big enough on the bass drum sizes for my tastes. Purely visually - I’m sure it sounds great.

[@curtfreeman8632]

This dude could make pots, pans, buckets and hubcaps sound great!

[@elithepitbulldog2209]

Ok, I’m digging the strata. I know what my next purchase is. You need to talk about your Jazz rides. I got them, love them. I bought the whole set. Quite possibly the best cymbals I’ve ever played. Back to the Strata, I thought it sounded amazing on the snare. I’ve been digging the UV series

[@AsiaStreet365]

I loved the first kit kit and the last kit.

[@Tyl-Fiedler]

This Video is just a Gift from Heaven ❤️ thank you so much 🙏🏼 gonna Try out your Sticks 👍

[@Drummerman02]

I love your business mindset, go where they treat you good. Keep it up Macster

[@paulbrown410]

Loving all the kits Carter, but the WFL and the clubdate really do it for me. Those Stager ribbons sound glorious as does your playing!

[@Alex79x79]

what a wonderful sound! and what a great and refined musical taste! but are your sticks unavailable now? I can't wait to try them! I really like their sonic characteristic, this great attack and this dark and so defined sound that gives a great sound performance on the whole set! the ping on the ride is also wonderful, full defined and powerful!

[@dinksetter]

Genera Reso, yes! I have yet to hear an explanation about how those are different from G1s, Evans' other 10mil single-ply clear head, but they are different, and I've always preferred the sound of the Genera Resonant.

[@CoryAboud]

Congrats, Evans is the best!

[@RamonOchoaMusic]

Carter was off my radar until I searched for Remo Black Dots and found his clip with the 7 piece Ludwigs a few months back. I was missing out... I’ve been using EC2 batter heads for years on my kits. For a short while Evans had an EC1 single ply as well. I was disappointed when they discontinued them.

[@nilukanu]

Hi Carter! You are incredible just as always! Thank you for your notes! :-) Please let me know, what kind of Istanbul ride is on your left, at the part, what is starts from 14:09?? Very special thank you!

[@petersonalkintor4266]

I'm amazed it took this long to switch to Evans....stylistically they fit perfectly.....

[@toddmcneair4043]

What's that hi hat stand you're using? It looks real art deco cool.

[@TheMikePK]

Awesome playing, I wish in the future u could make a VST plugin or a sample library for us to buy!

[@DrummerKeithScott]

Congratulations! You deserve it!

[@shalaq]

Isn't the Strata series similar to the J1 drumhead? I don't know if Evans makes them anymore. Beautiful sounding heads, I had them on my kit for a long time.

[@juliusheline3980]

Carter is such a joy to watch play! He loves what he does and it’s clear! P.s. you should do a video showcasing the Supra’s you have and what range tuning they’re capable of!!

The first set is just killer!

[@smjdrums]

The heads sound great. Obviously these would work well in jazz and other vintage music but I imagine that they would sound good in some doom rock/metal styles as well.

[@eliotbenvenuti-affairoux5748]

All kit sound gorgeous !! About bass drum, i presume the reso head is not holed, but is they're some muffling ??

Looks like masking tape. That leaves no residue. Apply to taste

[@Helmsdrums]

@@RogierRJDonker gotcha, good to know. Appreciate the response 👍🏻

Hi Carter, beautiful drumming! Im' blown away by the sound of Istanbul cymbals! What are you using here? Thank you!!

[@cartermclean]

Traditional Jazz series 👍🏻

[@Roberto_Zaffaroni]

Thank you! I switched to Istanbul a couple of yerars ago since i was looking for a new crash cymbals..I have done many audio comparisons on you tube and always noticed that when in good hands like yours these instruments are way more musical than any others! Both top notch!👌👍
