Carlock was born in Clinton, Mississippi and attended North Texas State University.
In October 2009, he released an instructional DVD called The Big Picture: Phrasing, Improvisation, Style, and Technique.
Carlock has toured with Steely Dan since 2003, continuing to awe crowds and add his own signature groove to Donald and Walter's repertoire, much to their satisfaction. In January 2014, Carlock joined Toto, replacing longtime drummer Simon Phillips. He played on every track of the album Toto XIV and toured with them in April–May 2014.
Carlock uses Gretsch drums, Evans Drumheads, Zildjian cymbals, and Vic Firth drumsticks.
