Keith Carlock TamTam DrumFest 2012 - Gretsch Drums #01

[@naccibobacci]

16 min. of an uninterrupted Carlock solo, can't thank you enough for that.

[@orlandonandez]

Increíble la musicalidad exquisita de Carlock, como juega melódicamente con los toms y crea motivos orgánicos que tienen vida propia. La tímbrica, el fraseo, la precisión, todo está al servicio de la música y la expresividad. Y esa personalidad única en los detalles que lo hace reconocible en cuanto comienza el solo. Me encanta como se mueve todo el kit en armonia con sus impactos, como si fuera una coreografía perfectamente orquestada. Una belleza ver y oír a este baterista. Gracias TAMTAM por esta joya 💎

[@haywoodjablomi7550]

[@salthedrummer1]

What not to like about this guy? don't get the thumbs down, this guys is a amazing! Thanks Keith

[@jddynamic4574]

Carlock is a beast in the drum lab!

[@michaelmattice4986]

Love the low open tuning on the kit...and that ride just above the hi-hat:) Thanks for sharing:)

[@grantallardyce5282]

Incredible sound...power and groove! ....a ninja Bonham

[@RoeShamBoe]

i super dig this guy's style and technique

[@davidcurtis4478]

Awesome drumming Keith! David Curtis Drumming

[@davidcurtis4478]

This is a fantastic example of dynamic drumming! Love your passion Keith! David Curtis Drumming

[@caspercotton]

This is the best solo i've ever heard him do....new drums sound great...he always played gretsch anyway.

[@mathewshaw2772]

Carlock is just the best..whole kit sounds beautiful.did right to switch to gretsch

[@rhythmista7707]

Love the first couple of moments where he's clearly doing a final second sound check before he pummels the kit..

[@Zazquatch1]

Snare sounds amazing =)

[@JORGE_JOJO_CARRILHO]

Que máquina...... Adorei ver ao vivo....

[@drumstud4u]

I was wondering where Toto could find someone to fill Simon Phillips' job...now I know! He's got some amazing chops and plays killer grooves. I just saw play him with Toto 3 days ago and there was nothing lacking "groove wise"

[@JollyDeacs11]

I think he brings an added strength and excitement that Simon was not able to provide.

[@rhythmista7707]

***** Suuuure ...

[@mtndewman1022]

that iddy biddy kick sounds unbelievably massive

[@davemieze9021]

Wow! Heard him on Wayne Krantz album. Knew he was good. This is so tasty. Very foot heavy. Love it.

[@karenladue944]

Don't try any of this at home unless you can play triples at 165 BPM with your left hand. Trust me, work your left, then study Carlock's playing. Chops out the WAHZOO!!

[@00RV00]

04:47 WHAT kind of ninja sorcery is this?

[@HenryPerez_royal_hp]

Joseph Kalina...i somewhat hear you, but thats just Keith, you know? I'ts like....thats HIS sound. I can close my eyes and know right away when its keith (swing groove) gadd (INCREDIBLE groove and famous-or infamous- triplets in ALL of his solos lol ) and carter beauford's amazing use of off-time high hat grooves, its all about YOUR sound. -Henry

[@TheKazajov]

Molaría que especificaseís las caracteristicas del set que toca cada uno de los integrantes en la descripción de los videos!!! Gran trabajo Tam Tam

[@ICOMEOUTSMOKIN]

Is that the same Keith Carlock that plays jazz with alot of smooth jazz artist? I'm looking for the guy with the blond hair

[@gravitydrums1391]

YEP! again... very nice.

[@kage1974]

Thanks for compressing the dynamics out the kick drum, '80's' producer sound guy...That's not what it sounds like in the room.

[@MrBostonrobb]

Ya nailed it.

[@moonkef]

Gate on BD.....trying to control the awesome open sound

[@jamminjuice]

Love that theme Keith's working: amazing how something so simple can make the "clinic" he puts on sound so musical. My only gripe is the damned gate on the the bass drum... cat doesn't get enough credit for his dynamics as it is. Then again, most sound guys have such a tough time miking BDs w/o holes in the reso-heads, so I guess we drummers take what we can get. ;-)

[@tonygiovingo6967]

+jamminjuice I play a 20" bass drum with both heads. I love the panic stricken faces of the "sound engineers" when they go to mike the BD. Some have even become downright hostile !! Perhaps it is not entirely their fault. More often than not they have only been trained in only one type of sound and they do their best to fit you into it. I guess they never listened to John Bonham. And yes you are right Keith is a true story teller in this solo....

[@daveparsons7756]

Anyone know what pedal this genius is using??

[@U2WB]

Great playing as always. But I wish that drum companies would get this “virgin bass drum” and “rim mounts” nonsense out of their heads because we’ve taken a gigantic step backward in terms of hardware and ease of setup. Look at how unstable those tom toms are - they’re moving all over the place because the cymbal stands are overweight and moving all over the place. After watching this Give me the old shell-mounted hardware anytime. Quick to setup and rock solid. Nobody can hear the difference. It’s just a marketing gimmick. I’ve owned both kinds of setup, and stand-mounted toms are a bear to lineup.

[@thisthisthisisisismy]

K dark thins have never sounded better.

[@jpcorradetti2576]

cambiè el aire de solo mirarlo

[@drummerzarate]

jajaja, tsss es impresionante este tipo, he visto a Jojo Mayer a 3 mts de distancia pero me falta este señor

[@PlymouthVT]

Damn those Gretsch's sound amazing. I think there Manhattan series.

[@rhythmista7707]

No such thing as Manhattan series.. I think you meant the Brooklyn series..

[@PlymouthVT]

+Rhythmista Yes thank you.

[@PlymouthVT]

+Rhythmista Yes thank you.

[@rhythmista7707]

PlymouthVT no problem ;)

[@homie1kenobi95]

Mike Mills..this is for you

[@GuillermoArantesNegrito]

este cara perfeitamente muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuito...

[@mattycspeaks]

Nasty!! Ninja Bonham!!!!!

[@drums911]

Wow!!

[@dsully1277]

Is this the turquoise color, or is this a different color?

[@handidrummed]

+D Sully It's the oyster wrap. The light just makes it look like turquoise.

[@dsully1277]

+handidrummed oh wow, I notice that now. thanks

[@bedlam6666]

I have the same kit minus the extra FT. The wrap changes color with different light in a way I have not seen other wraps do. The Brooklyns are awesome. Every time I play out with them people come out of the woodwork to tell me how great they sound.

[@timhenrikson8831]

[@edellis7691]

ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN WATCHIN NIEL PIERT

[@landstrom27]

something might of tipped over if he played any harder

[@HR2635]

it's a 20".. see more: www.keithcarlock.com/gear.htm

[@jackowens_]

that gate on the kick wasn't set so well... great playing keith!!!

[@HowardJuncaD]

Keith sometimes, like this one, is not using gate ( with both complete drumheads and no mic port) for the bass drum.

[@PaulMarangoni]

Pretty sure it's a 20.

[@biglalu]

the only white drummer who could destroy black drummers groove!
