This man has some serious mojo working! ....And at least Keith actually uses his signature snare. In fact, since its release, I haven't seen him use anything else. So many other endorsees who have had signature models hardly use them...as if it's just a flavour of the week. Love you Keith! You're an incredible inspiration!

[@romankevkel]

What a great and humble drummer. The world needs more humble people like Keith in this world. Great sound and awesome technique.

[@immerherbst4230]

I love the playing of Steve Ferrone, Nate Smith, Ash Soan and so on. But Keith Carlock is the most musical drummer to my ears. When he's playing a groove I could listen to it for hours. Love it.

[@donfoster4985]

My favorite drummer right now, I just saw Keith with Steely, and I will be seeing him with Skunk and friends in a couple weeks and who knows maybe a visit to the Potato. Keep the Groove Alive KC you the man. Oh we have the same Bday too

[@pellelidell007]

Keith's super groovy and dynamic style is phenomenal!

[@brian07470]

God is he musical. The pocket is insane and you can hear every single note he plays with that open techique! Very inspiring!

[@goyolake]

Who knew Keith would be such a great salesman as well. Excellent explanations of why he uses everything and how his gear serves both his style and touring needs.

[@toothnail605]

one of my fave drummers of all time, i mean lol wow just looooove his playing and approach. [single bass]

[@benbarletta2927]

LOVE his playing!! Had the opportunity to see him live with Steely Dan a bunch of years back, and he totally blew me away! My only issue is with the production sound on this video, I would have LOVED to hear his drums and cymbals with more of a room mic rather than a compressed/processed studio type of sound. (especially the cymbals) But it was a great thing to watch, and I hope to see him live again!

[@steevidrums]

Absolutely wonderful drummer with a very identifiable sound and feel. Love hearing him play in a band or solo.

[@rickwarren3930]

I have his sig snare after trying out many top brass snares and his Gretsch was the answer for me!!

[@user-tw2ky7tv8h]

Youve always inspired me and at this stage in my life i NEED it. Thanks.😊

[@muffinman4353]

Saw Keith with Steely Dan, his Gretch kit sounded Incredible.... Great drummer.

[@luisrene2633]

Thanks for the inspiration Keith.

[@sebastianorlando7275]

FABULOSO!!!

[@JustinWilson01]

Very musical wonderful sounding kit.

[@williemammoth11]

I'm so glad this exists!

[@williemammoth11]

Master Class in finger technique (among many other things).

[@tim510]

Priceless Insights From a Master!! I Took Notes!!

[@stevekimball7697]

Yes!!

[@johnhatchdrums]

One of the absolute best. Could put him on a Pearl Roadshow with ZBTs and he would still rip. Immaculate pocket.

[@patrickl6932]

Keith is cool af- I try to drum like him!

[@williemammoth11]

The brush slide w left hand :-)

[@matthewsmith404]

I'm a big fan of low to medium crack or the 70s dead sound .... Steely Dan , Eagles, even Judist Priest Sin Atfer Sin or anything back then.! That snare seems to do what ever you want!

[@jazzhole8208]

Mein Held ❤

[@karstenbursak8083]

Keith is known to have a very open lively Drumsound … that bares the question, why it all sounds so dull and muted in the mix when he plays in this video ?

[@christopherjobe2260]

Audio processing is a wonderful thing.

[@RobinL.B]

I agree as a mixer i must say that the mix was a bit strange.

[@Brewkowsky07]

I’m thinking the same thing. I was all excited when I saw this video, but compared to his normal sound… this was kind of disappointing. Great drummer. Great guy. Strange sound.. but then again, the Evans heads in my opinion don’t compliment a drummer’s individuality. They make all drums sound the same.

[@Twotontessie]

The drums sounded like shit to be honest. That first tom was the weakest, most muted little blip.

[@carlosbarbosa793]

You are one of a Kind!!! Super drummer!! Besides this I do not like at all that bass drum sound, like vintage, I know is your sound but I would love to hear how do you play or Your fills, solos etc, with a punchy bassdrum sound!!! Regards

[@embracehorizons]

Snare finish looks more like an acid wash. Brass patinas green because its mostly copper.

[@arii.5294]

Decent😀!

[@SamKoske]

Had to put on x1.25 speed but good vid

[@PaulMarangoni]

Double ply heads?

[@Google-caput]

Редко услышишь хороший звук барабанов на Ютубе...

[@evanward4303]

I want that pantina on my flaynge

[@Twotontessie]

Not too intrigued or impressed with any of the gear to be honest. It's him that makes it sound good.

[@mad24r45]

Hope they know who they had in the German diaspora...

[@alexanderednie1205]

So. Freakin. NASTY.

[@andiedrums1]

As an advert for drums, these sound terrible!

[@tomberg5564]

No they don't.

[@mrSpatcat]

They sound great
