For triggers, I'm pretty sure that started in 05 with Stand Up.
I believe in the studio for Crash for sure, he used a Yamaha Maple Custom I believe. It was the same green kit I believe that was used at Woodstock. Not sure about previous models.
For cymbals, his old eaks were a 20" K Thin, 18" K thin or medium thin, and then the 14" K. The back crash was usually an 18" Oriental Trash Crash, 18" Azuka Timbale cymbal, 18" K, or 18" A custom. It rotated so often it was hard to keep up. You can tell the oriental and Azuka though by the red lettering in old photos.
Chinas were the 19" K China, 18/20" Oriental China Trash on top stack, with the 20" and 22" Classic Chinas rotating on the bottom. Folsom Field I know was the 20" trash over 22" classic.
I wish I knew what exact old K ride it was he used before the long years of the a custom projection ride. That thing was beautiful, especially on the drumming DVD they put out. I think it was just an eak Brilliant plain K ride. Love that thing but can't find them nowadays.
Interesting story about my 16" Recording Custom Tom and I have no way of knowing if it's true. The guy I bought it from lived in Richmond, VA. When we were talking he brought up that he was from Charlottesville and knew Carter really well from his days at Miller's. The 16" Tom I bought was made in 83 or 84. He said it was part of a set of rc that Carter used for a gig that sold him on recording customs. So apparently I have a tom Carter actually used. Whether that's true or not, I have no idea.
For pedals, Henry told me at Arkansas that Carter hated the direct drive so they moved back to the 9ks. He hadn't had time to try the chain models yet, but said he'd look into them after I raved about them so much.
I love this kind of discussion!
