I'm just here for the drumming.

[@juanjosebusnelli390]

Like all of us

[@carlupthegrove262]

I simply LOVE the Heritage Green color.... and...very tasty playing...

[@thibodaux3424]

They both sound amazing with the high tuning. The Classics seem to have a bit more attack but only very slightly. I'd be happy with either kit!

[@ungatoenuntaller]

I am not even a drummer bit see this man play.....fascinating

[@josephkalina4187]

Carter McLean could sell a ketchup popsicle to a lady in white gloves

[@aaronrochotte6342]

Doesn't sound too shabby, tbh.

[@michaelcarter8620]

Ketchup popsicle?

Joseph Kalina I love KZbin. Half the time I’m just reading the comments. This was a very original comment. Haha

[@pjones8404]

Legacy for the high tuning, Classic Maple for the lower tunings. Both sound exceptional and Carter, your playing is a pure joy to listen to.

[@RobertWrightOneManCovers]

This.

[@rhythmista7707]

They don't call it "Legacy" for nothing. Best sounding to my ears, with that quintessential classic Ludwig sound..

[@ramencurry6672]

The legacy sounded better. However depending on the song, the other model may be better in a song mix.

[@enewhuis]

Good because I may be getting one tomorrow! :D

[@MrTomitas]

Oh whoa! The Legacy kit has such a beautiful warmth to it!

[@mcTOOSH1]

I just bought a classic maple. Glad I did as I think they have more body in tone than the legacy.

[@drummerboyharm3078]

Congrats! A fine and save choice. Can't go wrong with a CM! 👍

[@peterdent2019]

Beautiful-sounding drums and beautiful playing

[@Giannis_Papageo]

6:33...it's me Mario!!!🤣

[@fredericpottier7736]

Legacy!

[@gabrieluddunge4735]

Great video! Although I did notice you're playing the Legacy bass drum when reviewing the Classic kit on low tuning

[@drumarchief]

Love both! Legacy definitely 'warmer, rounder, more lush, vintage' sounding. Classic Maple 'sharper', more 'modern' sounding in a way. Great playing, great tuning...

[@polarnatten]

Hands down Legacy Maple, in any tuning. I just dig their smooth, warm, round sound.

[@teebee5236]

I love the Legacy over all. Beautiful sound. But the low tuning may go to the classic maple. Those toms are powerful.

[@EricT43]

If I had to choose one, I'd take the Legacy kit, but they both sound fantastic.

[@JoshuaWShanks]

Oh god. Those both sound phenomenal! Your playing is so good and effortless. I love your groove and ride work! I'm really jealous at how dynamic your playing is. You sir, are a pro!

[@nikosharbilas5819]

You are truly incredible. When you play you put a smile on anyones face. It just makes my day listening to you play drums, plus its really inspiring. Great work!

[@cartermclean]

THANK YOU!

[@evannewell7985]

To my ears the Legacy toms sound more open and full at the high tuning, especially compared at low volume. The Classic kit wants to be tuned low.

[@enriquemundaca8396]

By far one of the best drummer I have ever heard. Greetings from Chile mate!

[@VeryScaryBiscuits]

For me, Legacy maple, high tuning, and Classic Maple, low tuning..

[@r.a.8590]

Agree 100% Good call.

[@ccdrums1290]

Yeah, same here.

[@camilovillalobos8203]

opino lo mismo... suena mucho mejor en esas formas

[@tnthomas1954]

agree

[@td-12kx53]

Geez, how I just love watching and listening to this cat play! What else can I say?

[@phillamoore157]

Both sound great, but I'll always gravitate towards drums with high-end snap. Growing up playing Recording Customs has ruined me 🙂. And, that snare sounds incredible, as well. Btw...please list the cymbal setup. Would love to know what hats those are. Just a killer all-around sound. Always inspiring to listen to you, Carter!

[@PsRetrogamer]

Two amazing drum kits. The Legacy is much more open and resonant. They really sing a lot in high tunning. The Classic is more punchy and choked. Powerful in low tunning. Amazing cymbals and otherworldly playing. Great articulation and groove. Tasty!

[@samcook1545]

Apples and oranges my friend. Both sound absolutely beautiful and distinct. DW pales in comparison.

[@tbone1015]

With Remo only; what r your batter/reso pairings for coated and clear Ambassadors and Emperors? Your achieved sound is perfect on video.

[@sampilsbury9415]

Very musical sound and playing

[@scottbyler2649]

What do I think? Well, I think it all sounds fantastic! And I think if you played my old drums, I would want to buy them all over again 😆 you are a joy to listen to and watch play.

[@r.a.8590]

I agree with a previous comment: Legacy Maple for high tuning, Classic Maple for low tuning. But both sound great in both situations. Very nice drums. However, considering the cost difference, the Classic maple wins my vote.

[@gabriellevy1272]

thanks for this show

[@JazzFunique]

Oh, I really like the sound of the Ludwig Legacy Maple kit! Beautiful. Thanks for letting me know what to buy once I have the space - haha. Great playing too!

[@taylorunis5418]

I’d love to have the 45 degree edges for the rack tom and rounded over edges for the floor and kick.

[@KalimbaSpirit]

Now that was a Fricken Excellent Demo. Legacy for Jazz. Classic for everything else.

[@davewhittle2812]

Hey Carter, Ian‘s friend Dave up here in Vermont. I went with him to your clinic in Portsmouth New Hampshire a while back. For my playing and my ear I really like the first legacy higher tuning although they all sound great. My first kit was a 1961 three ply mahogany Ludwig. Wish I still had it!

[@binkwood]

Carter has a beautiful dynamic touch that and a softer technique than most. The Legacy was more articulate (with both tunings) with Carter's style of playing IMO, but a heavier hitter that played less ghost notes might find the classic maple for fitting especially in the lower tuning. Props for the Max Roach inspired segment! I would love to have either set!

[@alanduncan1980]

They both sound great! The green kit is a little warmer sounding?

[@samsanity9674]

that snare from 6:55 OMG!!! you, sir, master your craft!

[@jackfalco5351]

can you name a snare that sounds close to the Caropathian? cant afford 1.5 K. but love it!

[@Henry-uv9xu]

The classic maples sound close-mic’d, the legacy maples sound naturally mic’d. Both sound amazing and I’d trade up to them in a heartbeat.

[@dannylugojr3428]

I like both kits. Both have a unique sound. In my opinion, their both great for different applications.

[@cesaranizan8572]

Increible ambas! Saludos desde Argentina!

[@benjaminleach8582]

Both sound great. Was there a bass drum malfunction here. Seems the kits are mixed in the low tuning of the Classic.

[@TonyGellaDrums]

Great kits. like cymbals. what is?

[@jrfrondelli2023]

The Legacy Maple 3-ply shells "pop" more, similar to vintage Ludwig 3-ply. The CM has a more linear decay and response. Legacy Maple is my preference.

[@gt3065]

wow! surprised how different the kits sounded. Really liked the Legacy. generally don't like low turnings that much but these were awesome when Carter plays them.

[@drummingdog5706]

Ive got an old set of luds, now called legacys and a set of classics from when they first came out. They both sound great. i tend to lean towards the classics. Both have different charactoristics and both are very versitle.

[@marvinpues]

Can't tell a difference at all. If I was told what I was playing I'd believe the legacy was the one, but honestly both sound about same on my speakers. In person I may be able to tell, but both sound damn good. Whichever makes you wanna play more is the right one. That green is ugly and beautiful all at the same time.

[@buddyandian]

Would prefer Legacy which is my main kit . But I am allways really pleased with my CM ! Both tuning is right for these drums ! And Carter , you are a Master !

[@josephasghar]

Beautiful touch

[@peterpiece2102]

Thanks for this. It was great too. I'd like to hear a super classic/legacy test.

[@AntonioPaolajAz]

Nice Drumming !... bravo!

[@mike_helmick]

Thank you for this! Will be signing up for the new site day of launch!

[@robertobrien2903]

Why is the Legacy bass drum used for the lower tuning segment of the Classic Maple drum set?

[@zivmoerman1844]

why not legacy maple vs legacy mahagony?

[@coreygalletlydrums77]

Great tone man.. earthworks microphones??! Cant see them

[@roybeckerman9253]

Legacy maple here, but still prefer mahogany. Love the low tuning.

[@BriansVerseOfTheDay]

They sound great I especially like the Legacy kit but both are killer! How do you have them mic'd they sound soooo good?

[@Kmarty2000]

I prefer the Legacy for tone, low & high, but owned a the classic maple Downbeat in mod orange during 05/06, and that set kicked butt. Been a Ludwig guy my whole. I dig the way you play, & lovin' those cymbals, too!

[@believeinittobe]

I own a set of 2018 Classic Maple drums, this is a very accurate representation of how they sound in the room. In this video I prefer the high tuning on the Classic, and the low tuning on the Legacy.

[@gqnelly]

Classic Maple by a nose....both sound great.

[@stephenborgovini]

Carter, can you please tell us the intervals between the top and bottom heads for the toms and kick for the high tuning Legacy performance? Thank you

[@lukaspowell6944]

I believe they’re a 5th apart

[@jesseleite]

Jeepers man. It's a joy just watching you play. Super inspiring. PS. How much do go into tom tuning in your course membership?

[@StuartJrBarrett]

Can I order some sticks?!?! What do I need to do?

[@yuseongjae5177]

I'm looking for vintage sounding drum set like you have. But sadly Ludwig classic maple & legacy maple drum set is too over priced in S.Korea. We have to spend at least 200 bucks more than U.S. So I have to think about some other drum set such as Sonor Vintage series. Because it doesn't has serious cost difference. Have you guys consider Sonor vintage drum set as similar rate with Ludwig vintage set? or willing to purchase it over Ludwig series even if you have enough money for purchase any options? I know this could be silly question but just out of curiosity. It seems like beech shell has sharp and cutting sounds from other youtube drums review channel. Is it just only me feeling that way? Anyway great sounding drum set. Especially legacy one is all time favorite. But I kinda think that it's overpriced drum set not only in S.Korea. Why I feel like we have to spend more money to buy old fashion designed drum set? I mean I respect the legacy not the price.

[@davidsuprenant893]

The sonor vintage series are hard to beat.Check out British drum company.There amazing.

[@robertacosta3134]

Mr. McLean, you sold me on the legacy maple. That 12 is one of the best tom sounds I’ve ever heard. Do you mind sharing the depth on it? 8x12? Any thoughts on if 9x12 would work well for alt rock (like Radiohead)? If you get this, thank you for your time.

[@christhomson3545]

Main difference seems to be the overtones on the legacy unless I’m missing something?

[@bassdrumbone64]

That green though. 🔥

[@Henry-uv9xu]

Did you leave the legacy maple bass drum on when demoing the classic maple at a low tuning?

[@Monsterdrumma]

I noticed the same thing!

[@thesneakygamer4343]

Both sound great but I prefer the attack and volume of the classic maples if I had to choose.

[@susanmaggiora4800]

Karl Bauhaus Nope they are not.

[@nicodrums98]

[@lentzintl]

You should do a video on your mic'ing and mixing for these videos!

[@cartermclean]

cartermclean.com launching sep 1st

[@thibodaux3424]

Does anyone know what he's playing at 5:47? I think the sticking is RLLR where the two rights are between snare and a tom. I can't quite work out the phrasing but I think it's a dotted quarter note thing

[@thibodaux3424]

Slowed the video down... Sounds like a 3 stroke ruff on the snare LLR followed by a R on the tom. Phrased as dotted 8ths

[@Pentoute45]

May I ask why the kick drum was still the Legacy one with Classic toms for the low tuning section ?

[@stpvapor5363]

You saw that too?

[@_beatslayer_]

the red 60's Club Dates for sure :D

[@alanduncan1980]

Does it really matter?😊 not to me it doesn't. As long as I got my own cymbals and snare I can make whatever junk kit work. You know what I'm talking about, man.

[@ashtonmoore6229]

Dude love those cymbals. What are they? Also I’d say I’d use each kit for different things. For Studio Recording/ at home, I’d use the Legacy Maples Hands down. For live I’d use the classic maples because of the added projection!

[@jermss_]

cool as a cucumber. I bet his throne doesn't even get moist. legend!

[@DustyCowdog]

I forgot to ask, what are the cymbals you are using in this demo? Freaking sweet sounding....

[@jacobcollins9764]

[@fantasticmrwolfe]

[@cartermclean]

Ludwig classic

[@mertutkucelik4893]

I love how he plays with the "whatever" face but actually destroys all the other drummers

[@RambunctiousVA]

Many incredible drummers go into that "whatever" face cause they're focused as all hell. It doesn't manifest the same in all drummers but that's one of the ways.

[@ramonkey2939]

Love that legacy maple

[@BobbyJetty1502]

Did anyone else catch him not switching out the kick when he played the Classic Maple in low tuning? I wonder why? However, it makes no difference to how he flow's around the kit like a symphony
