  I'm not gonna say that Carter Beauford is the best drummer in the world because there's no such thing (and it's gonna start a comments fight), but he's definitely one of the most underappreciated drummers out there, the man is a serious drummer giant that can stand tall with all the legends

  DMB is the only band whose live versions of their songs compete with themselves; each song has fans that love it played at a particular venue, the most. <br><br>That’s truly remarkable.

  A friend once said that Ants Marching is &quot;The Dave-est song to ever Dave.&quot; It&apos;s their quintessential sound.

  Saw my first Dave Matthews show a week ago and fell absolutely in love. I’m 25 and had always known of their songs but man, seeing them live changed things.

  I don’t like being one of those guys but it’s so rare for people my age to be into DMB. I’m 19, Dave was really big for my mom back in the day. Found a video of them doing #41 with the Flecktones and fell in love. Finally got a good acoustic and devoted myself to practicing folk and acoustic music more. &nbsp;Really really special stuff

  Dave started playing guitar when he was 9 and was adamant on going to guitar lessons; he didn’t start playing in front of people until maybe 23 when Tim Reynolds brought him on stage at Miller’s bar where Dave was bartender.

  🙌🏼 Listener Supported live album from 1999 is my favorite. The best #41 version of all time.

  DMB&apos;s live albums are the best. The Central Park Concert is iconic.

  The snare hits were originally used in this song as a chance for Leroi to change his sax in between songs. Then it stuck

  I was an extra for the Ants Marching video in feb 95. I listen to them play it live about 30 times in 8 hours. It was an epic day!
