Carter’s affinity for drums developed at a young age when his father took him to a Buddy Rich concert, as there was no one available to babysit him. His father later bought him a tin drum set, igniting his passion for the instrument. He began performing professionally at the age of nine, and his ambidextrous skills were an unintentional result of practicing in front of a mirror to emulate his favorite drummers as shown on television. His education at Shenandoah University culminated in a degree in Occupational Therapy.

After performing for several years, Carter officially joined the band Secrets, which focused on the jazz fusion genre. Alongside LeRoi Moore, Jon D’earth, Butch Taylor, and Tim Reynolds, they performed extensively in Virginia. Carter also engaged in various jazz performances with a band called Blue Indigo, receiving significant attention when featured at the Delaware Water Gap Jazz Festival. The pivotal moment occurred when Secrets performed at the bar where Dave Matthews worked as a bartender, leading to the formation of the Dave Matthews Band and further solidifying Carter’s net worth.

Even after the establishment and rise of the Dave Matthews Band’s popularity, Carter continued to collaborate with other artists. He participated in projects with renowned names such as Carlos Santana, Vertical Horizon, and Victor Wooten. Over the course of his career, he received various awards, most notably the Modern Drummer’s Award for Best Pop Drummer and Best Recorded Performance.

In his personal life, it is known that Beauford has a daughter from his first marriage, and two children from his second marriage to Karen. Their family is briefly mentioned in a DVD entitled “The Gorge”. Moreover, he is recognized for using a Yamaha Drums custom kit with Zildjian cymbals, and his kit is notably equipped with assorted accessories and percussion, including woodblocks. It is worth noting that the Yamaha Signature “Carter Beauford” snare drum, which was initially anticipated, has never been released.
