Brian Farris joined Carter Road late in 2006 after auditioning for the vacant spot left by
the former drummer. Having a background in all types of music, Brian would provide a
solid backbeat for the music of Carter Road.
Brian started playing the drums at age 11. At age 14 his parents bought him his first
drumset, which he still plays today. He taught himself drumset by playing along with
his favorite CD’s.
Brian has always had a love for all types of music. When he was young, he would go
with his parents to concerts and dream of being a drummer in a band. Country music
was the music he was first interested in. After MTV and VH1 appeared on television, he
was exposed to pop/rock music. Through the late 80’s he jumped on the “hair band”
wagon and idolized such groups as Poison, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses and more. In
the 90’s he looked up to the grunge bands of the time, such as Pearl Jam, Alice in
Chains and Stone Temple Pilots. Through high school he started listening to the Dave
Matthews Band, which really gave him a new approach to playing. The style of Carter
Beauford showed him that the drummer could really accent the music and not just
provide the beat.
Since Brian is a fan of all types of music, he uses that to put his own personal touch on
all the music played with Carter Road.
