Carter was able to play all forms of rock, rhythm and blues, soul, and jazz. He was formally trained and blends a variety of styles into his drumming.[2] His successor as the E Street Band's drummer, Max Weinberg, said that Carter devised a jazz fusion part for "Born to Run" that he could never reproduce in concert, and that he eventually stopped trying. Although best known as a drummer, Carter is also a guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist. In 2001, he released a solo album, Temple of Boom, on which he sings and plays all the instruments.[3]
