Carter Beauford: The Groove Architect is the definitive biography of one of the most influential drummers of the modern era. From his gospel roots in Charlottesville to the global stages with Dave Matthews Band, Carter Beauford redefined live rock drumming with ambidextrous innovation, jazz-informed phrasing, and unmatched musical sensitivity.
This in-depth, research-driven narrative takes readers behind the kit and into the studio, across legendary tours and iconic recordings, through moments of creative tension and teaching triumphs.
