Carter Beauford 2023 kit update - Antsmarching.org Forums

aparker507 · 03-05-2023, 08:57 PM

Hey guys. Started doing these a few years ago since there isn't an official diagram of Carter's kit anymore. His tech and I talk about new changes every year, and I then go and film these. I hate talking to a camera, so please excuse the ums lol.

I've kept up with this kit since 2001, and it's been such a fun journey. DMB social media have usually posted these to their sites, so I'm hoping this one gets posted. For the 2021 or 22 tour, I did a very long video and they said it was really too long, so I made sure to shorten this one. Thought some of you may enjoy it here!

Very cool!

Since you've been doing it for so long, do you have something that shows the evolution/progression through the years?

BurnThePig27 · 03-06-2023, 07:48 AM

Adam, long time watcher of your videos and posts. As a drummer who is obsessed with Carter, I absolutely love these deep dives. Love all the nerdy details. Can’t wait to watch. Thank you for all you do!

firedancerchick · 03-06-2023, 07:57 AM

I don't know a dang thing about drums or drum sets and I still enjoy watching this! Thanks!

Millstone · 03-06-2023, 09:01 AM

Wouldn't be Carter without a K ride off to the left

Thanks yall! I do have a few old pictures showing the changes through the year but just recently started doing the videos instead.

DMB management approved this one and will be posting to their socials shortly!

zrroot · 03-06-2023, 09:23 AM

Awesome

aparker507 · 03-06-2023, 02:04 PM

And he still doesn't get to meet Carter year after year. It's absurd.

Maybe this will be the year lol. Not counting on it. But, very awesome of management to continue to approve and post this from a regular fan

alec · 03-07-2023, 10:32 AM

Just saw it on Instagram too. So cool!

JboDaveGuyYNK · 03-07-2023, 10:36 AM

^ came here to say the same about seeing it on IG.
Good stuff, Adam!

aparker507 · 03-07-2023, 10:37 AM

Thanks yall! Definitely feel honored to continue to get these recognized!

bowa36 · 03-07-2023, 12:30 PM

Very cool update and kit...I was wondering when/why those granite blocks disappeared. Do you have any favorite non-DMB stuff you like to play on that kit?

I like playing just about anything on this kit. It really isn't the best for the worship stuff we do at church obviously, but it's still fun and gives me a good difference from my own personal, much smaller, setup

thatguy27 · 03-07-2023, 03:42 PM

Really cool kit man. I watched some of your DMB tribute covers and they were great. It must be a blast to play Carter’s parts on a kit like his. I try to make do with a small kit but it’s just not the same.

Great playing! Really love the crash of doom as your main!

When and why did Carter downsize his drum kit?

It's been downsizing since 2008 here and there. Just not using as much anymore, and them tightening up the sound just calls for less equipment. There's really only been a few small things removed, but it looks like a lot

Steveo style · 03-07-2023, 08:13 PM

Congrats on the pickup by the band!

Pretty great to see! I know Buddy reacts to these some, but I bet Carter's never seen them lol

Muirk · 03-08-2023, 08:11 AM

I think the fan / band interaction here is really neat and it's fun to see it play out like it has. I hope Adam gets an honorary golden ticket this year.

There's another drummer (Harry Miree) I watched on YouTube recently. Would be great to see you two + Carter and Henry in a room all nerding out about snoms.

Harry! He's a great guy and friend. He's now the drummer for Hardy. He had backstage passes for me when they came to Rogers with Morgan Wallen but we unfortunately couldn't make it. He's really hit it big time. Absolutely loved his interview with Henry and Carter.

ToySoldier#34 · 03-08-2023, 08:21 AM

AParker this is awesome, congrats and I hope you get your opportunity to meet Carter at some point!

Matt83 · 03-08-2023, 11:48 AM

Which is more consistent nowadays? The sky is blue, or Adam Parker getting his annual shine from Modern Drummer? Congrats budday.

Do you ever randomly set up your cymbals? 🧐
