Carter Beauford solo
Interview
The Dave Matthews Band is without question one of the hottest bands on the planet right now.
All one need do is take five minutes to scan the web to derive some vague idea as to their
overwhelming popularity. They have more rabid fans dedicating web sights to them than any
other band. DMB has a fresh sound that combines acoustics instruments with a unique vocal
style that is melodic and almost percussive in effect. It would seem that Dave Matthews and
Carter Beauford were born to play together, as the band's many fans would agree upon.
They often trade licks and double each others parts which adds a tightness and an
interesting interactivity between the opposite ends of the band.
We were presented with the opportunity to interview Carter in the midst of a hectic and
wildly successful world tour. We were thrilled at his accommodating attitude and
willingness to speak to all the drummers he is influencing these days.
