Nice setup of drum sizes, they sound perfect like a musical scale. This right here is a balanced drum setup from high to low, no more is needed. Could cover just about any style of music with this kit along with a double bass pedal added.

Your rolls are incredible in this video bro!👍..sound of the drums are awesome

[@stephenutterback5704]

Hearing a drummer that can play gorgeous phrases on a 3-piece kit play a 7-piece fusion-esque kit makes this probably the best drumming video on KZbin. UGH. Beautiful sounding kit played by hands that were trained for it. Well done.

[@aluminati9918]

Now we’re talking! Amid all today’s “custom” kits, good old Classic Maple is still king. Excellent drumming too. Made my day.

[@mpcvore]

... and perfect tuning too...!

[@willrockdesigns]

Couldn't help but smile through the whole video! Amazing tuning. It takes a lot of effort to make it look effortless.

[@Elboy522]

God, Carter demos the drums so satisfyingly, quickly becoming one of my favorite youtube drummers. Not only does he actually play ALL of the toms at a broad dynamic and technical spectrum, he also tunes the drums so that they work together with their mounting hardware for full resonance. Any other showcases on a 7-piece would be greatly appreciated!

[@duanemcclure8324]

I have GOT to agree with you on this one! Damn, this guy's good! Man.. would I LOVE to have him backing me! Exactly what I'm looking for too! It just sounds old school melodic..not like that noise we hear today. I KNOW you can relate to that..😁

[@rascal_4261]

THOSE TOMS Sound SOLID

[@kurtblickenderfer4486]

I love the way Carter McLean plays.

[@pumpkin1982]

Good job Ludwig. These have a beautiful warm and connected sound.

[@thenewriverdrifters9862]

I've watched a million demos, and this the one of the best (if not THE best) I've seen. No talking, very pleasant fills and grooves that would actually be usable in songs, no single hits and waiting 3 minutes for the decay, no shrill or annoying cymbals, just perfect. Thank you.

[@duanemcclure8324]

Wow.. that's almost hypnotic..very good drumming and they're DEFINITELY in tune! Beautiful sound!

[@PaulRoseGuitar]

One of the most soulful drummers I've ever heard.

That 16x15 !!.....you found the sweet spot where it wants to speak!, gorgeous!!. The 14x13 is juicy as well !! That Elm snare is hands down one of the best sounding wood shells I've heard in many years!!

Carter + Ludwig = It’s just simply Beautiful

[@BayouMaccabee]

Cool video. I used to have that exact kit, with that exact sizes configuration (except it had an 18" floor tom as well with the 14" as rack-mounted, and a 6.5x14 Supraphonic snare). That kit was also black. I loved that damn thing, such a great drum kit. But, I sold it and downsized to a 4-piece Gretsch Catalina (white marine pearl). Love my Gretsch kit kit too!

[@barberjeff67]

Beautiful sounding drums. That bass drum sounds perfect!

[@tywoodruff1748]

Damn those toms sound great!

[@kasuu5821]

A few days before I discovered Carter and a lot of his videos. Great stuff and big fun. And every time a watch one of his videos, I am motivated and inspired to get my Roland Vdrum started and play a few minutes with great joy and ambition! Thanks, Carter!

Your drums always sound fantastic. These are no exception

[@anguse2068]

Having seen this any numerous other videos you have posted I have to compliment you Carter McLean - not only for your superb playing but also your sublime tuning and micing/mixing skills. Whatever kit and heads you use they always sound stunning.

[@BobbyJetty1502]

By far and away one of the best sounding kits I've ever heard. And I have an 86 Ludwig superclassic kit

[@loukasangelo1232]

Thank you for your vids! Can't find any better than yours. I love checking videos out about Ludwig Drums!

Carter is unreal. Phenomenal drummer and Ludwig IMO the best.

[@spadds]

I logged on you tube to look up something wrong with the washing machine... saw this video for classic maples. 6:43 minutes later. Mind Blown! Forgot what I came here for!!! Wow. Musical beauty. The tone of this kit is amazing. I have one. I haven't mic'd it up, but look forward to doing so. This is so rich and full. I'm blown away by this sound. The playing is exceptional and shows how a great kit should sound when professionally played. Thanks for this.... now where are the GE videos.....

[@genez429]

The Lord has blessed Carter with an intuition, sensitivity, and skill in tuning drums, like certain birds intuitively know to fly south for the winter. Its a gift. The one who has such a gift feels its natural and satisfying. Its designed to be as an oasis for appreciative souls who now endure living in a world that is riddled with uncertainties and strife all a round us. Its one reason why God created entertainment. But, I digress.... Excellent tuning ability. Give someone a palette and canvas and they will make a mess, and then boast about it. Give someone gifted the same palette? And he can make you marvel, yet with a modesty not to boast. That, folks. Was today's rudimental devotional. ;)
