This happened a week ago today:
Wow. What a day! Started off with apparently Carter misplacing some of his jerseys so I tried to get him a Razorback Jersey for tonight. I got it to Henry (Carter's tech) and he said he would get it to him. He didn't wear it though, but what can you do right?
Anyway, Henry met with me again. I have Carter's kit replicated so I guess that's good enough to get back there lol. He was super busy as usual. Pulling stuff out of the trucks still while we waited.
He finally met us and took us into the drum and stage 18 wheeler. There were drum cases everywhere and Henry was carrying 2 new snare stand boxes. He said the crew was still getting the hang of things with this new format and stage. He asked me what time it was and I told him 6:59. I figured stage time was too far gone but he said follow me.
He took us to the front where Carter's new acoustic kit was. The drums are Questlove's old yamaha kit from Jimmy Fallon. He has the bongos and congas from last year's show. Henry was very excited about this kit.
Next we to over behind the kit I've loved since I was 16. Time was short so I didn't even bother going to sit this time. He is using the 14x6.5 Ludwig Alex Van Halen signature snare on both kits now. Henry wanted me to tell him what I thought of the snare and New kit after the show. He also threw on a 10" spiral stacker and 10" Oriental China trash in top of the 18" A custom Efx.
We then made our way over to Henrys huge road case where he showed me pictures of his kids. He asked if I got any of carter's gloves last time and I said no. He remembered asking for my address but forgot to send them. Too cool! Actual signature gloves Carter had used in Texas! He thanked us for coming and said he would get my modern drummer magazine to Carter. I have a note wrote in it so hopefully I'll hear from Carter but not getting my hopes up. A setlist from their stage director topped the night off!
Backstage at Dave Matthews Band in Arkansas!
