Carter's Aresenal

[Jpikr005]

does he have a couple woodblocks or temple blocks? because on songs like OSW he obviously has more, but what does he usually have with him

[bdfresh62]

I know he has a jam block set up next to his cowbell above his hi-hats. He also has a set of temple blocks on his right side over by the lowest tom.

[eviltuna7]

for his live set up he has a lot of stuff, but bdfresh named the main things. besides that he has timbales to the left of his high hats. he has chimes, a triangle, etc, etc, etc.

[saxman1083]

he's also got agogo bells, and a jam block that is more like a cylinder with a flat bottom.

Actually, Carter no longer has a timbale to the left of his high hats. Instead, he has an LP Compact Conga there. The only timbale on his kit is to the right of his snare and it's a 13"x7" Dunnett titanium timbale.

[jammin2theday]

anyone have a picture or a series of pictures that show a really good first person view of Carters kit?? liek a picture (or pictures) that, all together, shows all of his kit . I have never seen something like that and i think it woul be aweosme to sort of see what Carter sees. and also i wanna get a good look at everything hes got.

geez, where'd you get that info from? i don't think its off the official site.
anyways, i am in love with his dunnett snare, but i liked the orcheltree one too.

From Ronn Dunnett himself, and from looking at recent pictures of his kit. And for future reference, please don't rely on the official site for information. The information listed there is outdated.

I don't know how recently this has been updated but it's got a lot of info on Carter's kit: http://www.angelfire.com/music/carterbeauford/kit.html

[eviltuna7]

yea, i know the official site doesn't update often thats why i was wondering. thats cool the you know ron dunnett, do you have a dunnett snare?

[BeaufordBuddy]

That's actually my site. It hasn't been updated in awhile because I don't really have the time. Once I return home I plan on putting the site on its own domain and revamping a few things.

No, I don't own a Dunnett. I actually had to sell my kit before entering the military. I wish I had the room to get another set but the Army doesn't give you shit for space. I would very much like to get a Yamaha DTX electronic set just to have something to play.

[PilotC150]

Another sound you might be hearing is the Granite Blocks. Those are the grey blocks to his right, they are set under the chimes.

I know he uses those on DIDO, and possible Seek Up (but I think that's the wood blocks), and perhaps OSW.

Awesome. Thanks for putting that one up, it's a real cool site for drummers to look over. Sometimes I dream about that set.

Carter doesn't have wood blocks on his kit. He has a set of granite blocks right about his 18" floor tom and under his chimes. He has a jam block right underneath his 6" Zil-Bel and directly to the left of that is his cowbell. He has a set of agogo bells right beneath his rides. At lastly, he sometimes has a set of blast blocks by his agogo bells, to the left of his high hats. You might be confusing wood blocks with one of these items.
