MY STUDIO TOUR. DRUMS MICS CYMBALS GEAR!

[@audimutetube]

Incredible Studio! It’s obviously such a personal, meaningful space. I can’t thank you enough for making Audimute part of your success story. I am truly humbled and appreciative.

[@christophersmay4508]

I remember when you posted this one and I was like, Ima watch that in a minute. I finally watched it, it was great like everything else! Appreciate you sharing it all, what a great collection of treasures and tools, and a beautiful space you made.

[@ariilaskivi9551]

I'm enjoying this video on my couch with a warm cup of tea and M&M's. Greetings from Helsinki!

[@jonashellborg8320]

That was wicked Carter! You have a good looking studio! Loved the little stories you have about the drums and cymbals. I’m today, without knowing about this video, going to try 1 kick and 1 ribbon overhead for recording drums, how weird is that. Your sound is always amazing, fun to see that it’s a pretty simple setup too.

[@DrummerDanny76]

Awesome !!! Thank you for showing your studio. It was a lot of fun to see all your gear. Very cool stuff.

[@hapadusky]

Wow. I thoroughly enjoyed this and didn’t expect to be inspired by it. Thanks for sharing, Carter!

[@dimsunk]

Very cool setup Carter!

[@BradsGonnaPlay]

As an amateur acoustician, as soon as I saw that wall of diffusers, I had to guess all of the treatment alone in that room is valued well in the 5 digit price range.

[@willudallmusic]

Awesome tour! Cymbal/total collection insane! nice one Carter!

[@jaymeramirez7435]

I have been waiting for this for years

[@BenBlankenshipvo]

Would love to more about the treatment of the room, the diffusing panels on the walls and such. Great space!

[@classixdrummer]

He did a fairly extensive build video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJikmYV3q8dsndE

[@chrisfreeman4957]

Those club dates are sweet! I agree about the vibe of the old vintage gear... I had a black oyster club date kit that I regretfully sold some time ago. Had a Rhodes too that I bought in a garage sale for $50 back in the day!!! Great setup, Carter.

[@andrewwarrendrums8969]

Totally dig your studio Carter! Thanks for this video!

[@JamesonDunphey]

Hey Carter, I would love to hear about how you did the HVAC system. Specifically the vents, since they seem to bring the most noise to the rest of the house!

[@casiusvalalla8016]

The professional studio ! Lovely material !! I’m jalous 😅🤔😜

[@ahchv]

Man… you know it’s a good studio when the cheapest thing are the drums 😂

[@zerobeat98]

Carter, did you build your desk yourself or was it purchased from a builder? I love how clean and compact it looks, especially with the 88 key rollout shelf.

[@davidholzmann]

Pretty sure it’s the Output Platform desk.

[@BobSchoepenjr]

while it's pouring in my country I've been invited to the most influential musical drummer of recent years. after the private tour a nice cup of coffee

[@michaelbruxvoort4479]

Dude Ty Burhoe! I attended a clinic of his several years ago, what an awesome experience it was

[@Romans219]

Carter is one awesome guy. I love playing acoustic drums and B20 alloy cymbals.

[@drummerkev1627]

Love your KZbin user name!

[@drummerkev1627]

More cowbell I mean candles Candles!

[@Sundaydrumday]

I was surprised to not see a black beauty in your collection!

[@eprohoda]

Hello. Carter~thannk you,so perfect !

[@jazzride]

Amazing recording Space.......Interesting idea when you talked about recording w/one overhead or just giving a client a /raw' un mixed drum track, one could probably spend a day or two just talking about microphones and mic'ing...thanks again for the tour!

[@PiwaiGee]

this was awesome. The dream drum-cave. What a cool shed. You deserve all of it, man, thanks for sharing.

[@skaer36]

What an amazing tour! Love that room!!

[@drummerdano1973]

Excellent idea to use guitar stands to store cymbals. Great video

[@coreyw5981]

I love la chouffe. Would love that as a head as well!

[@weschilton]

OK I love that I have that same exact Ikea cabinet in my home studio... maybe we've started a thing!

[@Nichodemus_funkenstine]

awesome tour! thanks for posting this! very cool place you have.. I can see how it can inspire creativity

[@DarkoP9.13]

Last song name? Sounds like Joni Mitchel but cant find it. Your drumming is interstellar .Emotion, Soul, Excelence Raspect Carter

[@panagiotismissos]

Very cool space!!! Incredible.

[@tompetteruti250]

I enjoyed the tour! The on that kick at the beginning is an AKG D12 (probably a D12E).

[@ejames6431]

Just awesome Carter!

[@bendanielspercussion]

Awesome studio, Carter! Love the snare drum story!

[@revoxed93]

what's cool about the apollo is you can use different mic pres for flavors(neve, api, harrison, telefunken, 610) etc... I would be interested in your opinion of the real neve/api vs the plug ins. love your drumming and sounds you get! thanks man

[@pcgkjrn]

Awesome studio and tour.🥁

[@billyhughes9776]

Love your studio brother -- looks great! Sick drum collection. I have a multi Apollo setup in my two spaces for tracking and mixing. Love the Universal Audio stuff -- I use a combo of outboard hardware pres and the UA plugins to track drums. Out of curiosity (and when you have time) you should compare the the UA Neve and API pres for tracking to your hardware -- I especially love the API Vision Channel Strip for tracking and/or mixing drums. BTW -- you were the one that turned me on to Stager mics. I have a pair of SR-2N's and an SR-1A -- love em.

[@skaer36]

That's what I call a proper drum geek!! Love it!!👍

[@californiasurfing7657]

Thanks for sharing your studio with us. I dig the gear!

[@mizacarrillo8861]

Amazing! Goals 🙌🏻

[@coltonhulett3671]

Goals. Thank you carter.

[@jrthomas_music]

Did you sell your Audioscape DComp and Pultec style EQ’s? Saw the rack was empty in the vid.

[@dumdedumdee9665]

Fantastic video Carter! Very grateful to you for showing us all your treasures. All your drums are lovely. I don't know too much about studio set ups but it's interesting to see that you only have a small amount of mics and utilise a very simple system for miking drums. Refreshing in this world of much over processed music! I have one question - what's the bass tucked away in the corner? Could see it was a Fender but not much else! Thank you! Cheers!🙂

[@CharlesTPrimm]

Great tour. Very informative. Thanks kindly!

[@funkyvas]

Hey Carter! Thank you for opening the doors of where you make music, and share some wisdom, I’m interested in getting a pair of 12” hi-hats, do you have any idea about the weights of them? The6 sound marvelous! If I had the chance to order some with about the same weight, it would be wonderful… thank you so much in advance…

[@JonathanRamirez-kd3zv]

20:55 to 21:06 Idk why I found that funny. Sick vid dood. I love behind the scenes type of stuff.

[@zarwarrior]

Really cool studio Carter! Love it man!

[@rolandstamey1470]

Thanks Carter

[@alanhunter5623]

Outstanding!

[@MidiPunk]

Did you change the wall texture? I remember a faux stone wall texture other than the black skyscape texture on opposite side, maybe saw stuff that wasn't there. Love your music and hearing what your recording chain is. You obviously know where the line between here's what I use and being a showoff douche is, no slow-mo slide-cam footage of each mic.

[@NintenDub]

I'm the future, def just hold the camera and get into the nooks and Craneys and get close, stand on the tripod when necessary, but I'm telling ya, people want motion,they wanna feel like they're in the room.myself included.j wanna see every drum up super close.i wanna see the whole room. Up close n personal! 😂 👍 Such a cool room regardless

[@micbrody8475]

Where did you get that Bass drum deadener or muffler on the front of your mother kick drum ? thanks enjoyed your video

[@rborawski]

Nice, how about the camo sneakers? What's the 411 on them?

[@blueburnsred]

What do you have under the snares on the snare drums on the shelf? Looks like some cardboard to stop snares from going crazy. Good idea, I've never seen that before.

[@Payterman]

Thank you for sharing!

[@PhilRounds]

For a second when you said Earthworks i thought you'd taken Bruford's place! :D

[@matthewmore6893]

Great studio Carter keep up the great work! I have a small kit 16 inch tom for the bass drum and a 10 top tom and 16 floor tom but they are both single hsaded and shallow. I'm interested in micing preferably something minimal 2 overheads and a kick. Sabian sells a mic set one with a mixer. Or would you recommend something else or try that? I probably cant spend to much 500ish or under tight budget.Thank you in advance Sir

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Hi buddy, I used a Zoom H4n with the inbuild mics and two extra mics in the input left&right. After the recording I transferred into a daw ( logic). Watch my channel you’ll be amazed by the sound. Grts from Europe

[@Addiplayz]

Hey! Where did you get your cymbal bag from? Digging all your gear man!

[@Hamwdi420]

Absolute legend! , What is that clutch you have on the 15’ Agop sigs? Cheers .

[@cartermclean]

Cherry hill makes em. Micro clutch

[@tedfurlo2268]

Where's the newest exactly (re)produced Ludwig snare drum? The Carter McLean Signature '66 4x14 Champagne Sparkle Downbeat Snare Drum(WITH the offset lugs)? (I'm just askin'). I would gladly give up the rarity of my two Downbeats just to see the smile on your face. (only 'Squares' get 'hooked').

[@jeffreyflanagan1545]

This was great! loved it! Thank you

[@jordanjohnmusicofficial]

Looks (and sounds) fantastic! What are your room dimensions & ceiling height?

[@Nate_Higgins]

I have one of those all aluminum prototype acrolites with the aluminum hoops and all. It still has the original heads and wires. Has a big chunky welded plate in it. I'm going to rehead and put new wires on. Any recommendations for wires?

[@armusic5720]

This is very inspirational.

[@nicolaswilliams8242]

Hey Carter, great video. What's the name/brand of the little stand you store your cymbals on? Many thanks

[@berndthiel613]

Nice Equipment ;-)

[@totfosk]

Crazy that I was looking for something like this through your videos to know what do you have, 10 minutes before you uploaded the video 0.0

[@NintenDub]

Have you checked under the butt plate of that acrolite? It might have the famous 'b' stamped. I dunno if your much of acrolytes or supra phonics, but if your ever looking for info, both bonzoleum and George fludas here on yt are Bonham freaks and very well versed on Ludwigs.its amazing how deep the rabbits hole goes Especially on supras. Such cool drums.theres so much to know.sp much to be confused by.

[@ddude7663]

Loved the tour. I'm a raging gear head.

[@Samsgarden]

What’s the black wall material? Looks great.

[@tobiaswinter1358]

Thank you!

[@evanhill9494]

I want that sweatshirt lol!

[@thomasdecorail8825]

YES!!

[@davidekevarn6082]

Great stuff! Ever considered doing a tuning video?

[@cartermclean]

There is an hour long HD video on my website cartermclean.com

[@kas36spires]

I’ve been waiting on this one

[@greghudson8263]

What heads do you prefer to use? Thanks

[@ismaeldasilvaxaviers5953]

Olá !!! Sou do Brasil. Gostaria que tocasse um dia SAMBA JAZZ.

[@cartermclean]

Me too 😂

[@jermss_]

Well I have a new favorite KZbin video

[@PaulMarangoni]

I'm surprised that you don't have a super sensitive snare drum

[@rkaylor5769]

The secret sauce is sound, not chops, and Carter is a saucier. I get the old drums as I buy old Sonors.

[@krecik7711]

Hi Carter, how many drum kits do you have? and how many snare drums?

[@handidrummed]

All in the video 😁

[@krecik7711]

well, it's a beautiful collection with only pearls

[@devilscoachorse]

Just wondering how you go about recording when your kit is set up on the other side of the room away from your desk? How do you get your levels and start and stop recordings?

[@jasonzurlo1543]

Not sure how he does it, but the avid control iPad app can be pretty helpful.

[@cartermclean]

Wireless apple keyboard ⌨️

[@cuzapenescu6656]

where have u taken that hoodie?

[@georgitomov5405]

This is what I call drumporn!

[@Jongraphs8600]

Nice 👍

[@Abzshred]

song name in the background at 33:00? thanks

[@JulianFernandez]

neat!

[@imothy]

different kind of gain stage

[@hmclake1]

Thank you very much for this tour, Carter. It's great stuff in the hands of a great musician, resulting in a challenge for other drummers not to spend all their money on buying so many drums and cymbals.... :-)

[@scottmorehouse]

I want my Wfl kit back🙈

[@RobH62]

Puh! 😌

[@MikeBaas]

Man that empty maple rack is giving me GAS.

[@MikeBaas]

Dedicated omni room mics so perfect, must give you joy.
