Thanks for the comment Greg, do wah diddy I completely forgot about that one to be honest, 😁 have a good weekend 🥁🙏👍🥁

@@Kingy-23drums You have a good weekend to, my good friend. I hope Do Wa Diddy is coming up in the near future.😂

Don't think I got it, but will have a look, I just moved so no time for drums for a month, all the videos I put on now are what I got stacked up from my old house​@@gregwonhoff7161

Thanks for the comment TD my choice of Manfred Mann is , go now cheers have a good weekend 👍

@@gregwonhoff7161 , I just looked 1959, I was 5 years old, but my brother was 15 ,so all the top songs were always played in our house.

Thanks for the comment Greg, yep keep them cells turning that's what I do everyday, trying to learn and keep learning as I didn't no that at school that's for sure. Got a few more 50s ones coming up in the next 2 weeks Keep smiling ,🥁🙏🥁👍

Glad I am not young today , the music is terrible

@@Kingy-23drums I keep listening and trying to find something I like. I am on a Crash Adam’s kick right now.😂

@@The-Tired-Drummer I am guessing your house was a whirlwind of activity when you were little, and I am also guessing you didn’t mind the older girls popping in and out.😂😂

Thanks for the comment TD yes big hit in the UK as well i think she was only 15 at the time have a good day its 11am here in the UK

Many thanks earl 🙏🥁👍

Many thanks for the comment Greg, shaking all over yes Johnny kidd and the pirates , I did prefer another song of theirs, I never get over you. Hope it goes well for you, will we see it on you tube, go for it Greg, I wish you luck with it. Keep smiling 👍🥁🥁🙏

@@Kingy-23drums I just listened to I’ll Never Get Over You and love that Mercy Beat sound that so many of the early to mid 60s British songs had. That brings back great memories of my teen years. I do like Shakin’ All Over better though. See you later, my young friend.❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

@@gregwonhoff7161 yes Greg there were loads of groups around that time coming from that area. Keep smiling 🥁🙏👍

Thanks for the comment Hilts, I just remember it from when i was young, and when i did some digging on the song it was Lee Danson Elvis Presleys friend who sang it, and playing the Drums was Earl Palmer, one of the best drummers of the 50s. I did my best to keep up with him cheers🥁🥁🙏👍

Yup I’m in the same boat 🛶 can’t say I’ve ever heard this one before, but that’s cool 😎 It’s nice to hear different songs 🎵

@@The-Tired-Drummer Many thanks for the comment TD yes its very rare and i know not many will know it, just want to test myself with different styles cheers 🥁🥁👍

Like the others who commented, Gary, I have never heard this fast-paced piece of music history before. This one might be a scosh too fast for me to keep up with. Thanks for sharing your work with all of us. I was almost going to wish you a happy 4th of July, but then didn’t want to be a stinker about the whole thing. How about have a wonderful day, my good friend.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️

@@gregwonhoff7161 Thanks for the comment Greg, its your Independence day from us i believe 4 July. We are having a vote in the Uk for new leader, i never bother i just dont bother with politics , never have. So enjoy tomorrow keeep smiling 🥁🥁🙏🙏👍👍

Many Thanks terry 👍

Many thanks TD I was the youngest, so I had to listen to a lot of music when I was young and my dad played loads of music as well. 👍🙏🥁

@@Kingy-23drums , I was the the youngest as well, my brother was 10 years older, and was the source of music 🎵 It was the beginning of Rock and Roll 🎸 we had all the records earlier bands even before Buddy Holly days, I was 10 when the British Invasion hit. The Beatles on Ed Sullivan.

@@The-Tired-Drummer wow my brother and sister were about 12 14 years older than me, I might have been a mistake 😁and I can remember watching a hard days night was on every Christmas in the late 60s and early 70s the music today I find is💩 my grandson listens to some weird music, does my ears in 😁

@@Kingy-23drums , the reason for me coming ten years later, is because my parents just couldn’t afford a second child back then. My older brother was born in 1945 after the war, and it took him years of begging, for a baby brother. I only had the one brother, he was a wonderful brother and always took me under his wing. It was a big job for him, with my two parents working, he had to do a lot of babysitting me 🤣🤣🤣 he’s first son came when I was around 14 years old and he was like me having a baby brother, very happy memories. My brother died at 63 years old, heart ❤️ and my nephew died at 47 🙁 heart attack. That’s life.

@@The-Tired-Drummer😢❤️🙏

Thanks for the comment Hilts, just think of songs that I can remember when I was young, this one is obscure that's for sure, think they only made one record cheers 🙏🥁👍

Nice work! 👍🏻

@@earldrum Many thanks Earl 🙏👍🥁

Thanks for the comment Greg not sure if it would be allowed today with all this PC stuff going on 😁🥁🥁 👍👍

@@Kingy-23drums It’s funny that I thought the exact same thing.

Many thanks for your comment Greg. I am 14 years younger than your good self and I am no where near your standard of education that's for sure. I have tried not to take life to serious, and not materialistic one bit. Being the youngest I would listen to music growing up from my older brother and my dad played the piano accordion, and always had music on. Never played drums until 4 years ago, to keep my brain active, and to give me something to do. My last 10 years was working at Nottingham forest football club ( English premier league)as the clubs mascot but it all stopped when Covid came and no one went to football. So I decided then time is against me let's enjoy life more, so I try and keep smiling no matter what. Love all sports horse racing, cricket, ice hockey, my city is only a few who as a major ice hockey team Nottingham Panthers. Lot of Americans and Canadains play who not quite made it, or have made it and going down the scale. We had brian mcgratton, he was good to watch 😁Have a good weekend 👍👍🙏🥁🥁

@@Kingy-23drums Gary, thank you for taking your time to introduce yourself a bit more. We play drums, and are fortunate to be able to do so.❤️🙏❤️🙏

Thanks for the comment TD, I wasn't a big fan of there's but I did like them. I am amazed you have only had 40 views in 6 months, I wonder if you tube have been at the figures like earl was talking about the other day. I believe that mott the hoople was going to disband and David Bowie wrong this song for them as one last chance, not sure how true that is🤔 have a good weekend keep 🥁🥁🥁 Cheers 👍

@@Kingy-23drums , Yes it was David Bowie who helped them out with this song, your story is correct. I always joke that I should have used the name THE UNKNOWN DRUMMER 🥁, instead of The Tired Drummer because of my poor views. It’s nothing new. For a long time it did bother me, but after I hurt my back and couldn’t play for a month I started to just not care anymore. I generally get poor view numbers, and feel if I get between 50-80 I’m satisfied 🙂. I have another utube drummer friend, Drum Man 59 We can play the exact same song 🎵 and he can get 800 views and I get 60, meanwhile he just shoots from a cellphone and not to put him down but I’m a much better drummer than he is and I have such a better sound, picture and editing production quality. We both talk about this and just can’t figure out why this happens. I spend a minimum of 3 hours into every video that I’m putting out Ever since I’ve been using two cameras it’s added hours to my production. I didn’t know how to do this for the longest time , Earl kept suggesting for me to go this way, and I just told him I’m not tech savvy enough and don’t have great editing programs. It took a while and I have learned a lot, pushing myself to learn, I’m now comfortable enough with my productions. Sometimes the hardest thing is to get the music sync to the videos and at times it can take an hour, and other times one minute. I’m working with two video clips and a separate audio track, I do enjoy making these Drum Covers and it keeps my mind working to complete each video. So yes at times it’s very frustrating putting in all the work and making a good video and it gets poor views 😕 I enjoy watching my own videos and seeing my progress and sometimes I’m impressed that I played the song very well. In the beginning of 2023 I had roughly 200 subscribers, and now in 2024, I’m getting close to 1000 subscribers, and that’s my reward 🤗 It’s just a hobby , I’m having fun 🤩 and exercising my brain 🧠 and have a lot of utube drum 🥁 friends from all over the world 🌎.

@@The-Tired-Drummer yes drummer man 59 yes I follow him, he don't half bang them out, but good luck to him. I don't bother either with microphones and video editing I just shoot the video and sound with Zoom Q2n-4k Camera I then just chop off the beginning and end as I walk to the drums and away from them in Microsoft movie maker. It's very basic cannot do anything else but suits me I just can't be bothered spending time doing all the editing. I am just looking for a reasonable picture and sound. Have a good weekend 👍🙏🥁

@@Kingy-23drums , you have a good picture and sound 👍 you just need to work on the room acoustics when you move to your next place.

@@The-Tired-Drummer yes it will do thanks, why don't you think about getting one they not expensive, yes was supposed to be moving this week, but it's been delayed, hopeless solicitors in the UK.👍👍🥁

Not interested thanks I don't take my drumming too seriously, just an hobby to keep my brain ticking over

Many thanks for the comment Greg, ya not rambling you just explaining the situation. Now I had the same problem recording on my daughter's I phone it was terrible, so I looked in to buying a camera with sound built in and I come up with one of these and they are great www.andertons.co.uk/zoom-q2n-4k-handy-video-recorder/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwm_SzBhAsEiwAXE2Cv7ZH_SF2IdHKYD0Jct-ZIksWFvyyXTLgSVuOkZyeLPXYf2y11gX6XhoCNB4QAvD_BwE. You have different settings on it I just use auto. The battery is rubbish but I use a usb power point and it lasts hours when fully charged. Now with the music I have a mini hi fi with usb on it. So I put my songs I want to do on a usb pen from my pc, then put the usb pen in the mini hifi and select usb and the songs play. Hope that helps, have a good weekend. Cheers 👍👍🙏🙏🥁🥁

This is the camera with sound. ZOOM Q2N-4K HANDY VIDEO RECORDER

@@Kingy-23drums Thanks for your description of how you do things.❤️🙏

No problem let's hope to see you up and running soon ​@@gregwonhoff7161

Thanks for the comment TD , you are spot on the song goes way back and as been recorded many times over the the last 90 year's. Yes the song wasn't a massive hit in the UK, here comes the night was there biggest I think , before they split up. Have a good weekend 👍👍🙏🥁🥁

Many thanks for the comment TD I am moving soon so I be doing the same thing, trying to bank a few to put on whilst I set things up. Cheers 👍🙏🙏🥁

Many thanks for the comment Hilts, yes agree that's why I decided to do this one. Cheers 👍🥁🙏

M@W has such a unique sound. I’m not too sure if I have ever heard this one before, so thank you for opening up yet another door leading to more good music.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️

​Many thanks for the comment Greg, yes like hilts below said when they play a men at work song it's always down under. Like in the UK if they play a Jerry lee Lewis song it's always great balls of fire or bill Haley it's rock around the clock, drives me mad. Keep smiling cheers 👍🙏🙏🥁🥁​@@gregwonhoff7161

Thanks for the comment TD yes the house is only 5 years old and as stud walls not brick. All the things you say I agree with and the reason why I haven't done anything is I am moving in a few weeks, I thought I wait till I get in my new home which should be finished and ready by the end of this month. It will have stud walls again but I am going to get some acoustic panels as I don't want to be moving again , this will be the 12th move in the last 40 years. I used to have Evans g2 on my Tama and they don't need any dampening. On this it's a remo ambassador. Was going to put my wallet on the snare but I got note in it 😁 keep smiling all the best 🙏🙏🥁👍

Many thanks for the comment Greg, it's an honour to be your friend outside the UK. Yes we do have fathers day unfortunately my father passed away a few years back. I watched a film about Frankie lymon the other week so I thought why not, I did 2 lol probably put that one on next week or week after. I got about 12 In the bag, as I am moving soon so I need a few saved to put on as I won't have time to do any for a few weeks whilst I get sorted. Keep smiling 👍🙏🥁🥁👍

Many thanks for the comment Greg, yes I didn't know much about her , until she released this song with the pet shop boys who were quite big in the UK from 1985 -1990ish this was 1989 and for me it just works, it certainly doesn't seem 35 years ago that's for sure. Keep smiling 👍🥁🥁🙏

Thanks for the comment Greg it's amazing that we take for granted that when a song comes out it is released in both UK and USA. I listen and watch Earl Bennett and quite a few of his songs I never heard in my life now the air supply one he did I know that and he played it brilliantly. Not saying he doesn't play the others as well I just don't know them. Not sure you will know my next 2 either, but we see. Have a good weekend it's 🌧️🌧️🌧️ here again keep smiling 👍🥁🥁🥁🙏

@@Kingy-23drums Gary, I watch Earl faithfully, as I do a few other drummers, you included. I will watch my regular guys no matter what song they do. I watch because they are my friends. Earl and I joke a lot about Steely Dan. I can’t stand their sound, but I will faithfully watch each song to its end if a friend is playing it. The rain is approaching us. I’m hoping it holds out long enough so I can mow my lawn.

I don't think steely Dan was that big in the UK but I could be wrong, I could not name one song of theirs. Gardening I do not do, girlfriend does that to get away from me 🤣 keep smiling 🥁🙏🙏👍

@@Kingy-23drums 😂😂😂

Thanks for the comment TD surprised you didn't know this one as it was around the same time as yours I was looking at the other day, Thomson twins, tears for fears and earlier i saw you did Nik Kershaw, great era for music. I don't do classical or jazz just not my music. Have a good weekend TD 👍👍🙏🥁

Many thanks for the comment Hilts yeah 1985 it came out and isn't played a lot. Cheers 👍🙏

Many thanks for the comment drummer man, cheers 👍🥁

Thanks for the comment, but I only play for fun, thanks anyway 🙏👍

I do it as an hobby, and to keep my brain working, as they say to keep Alzheimer's away learn music instruments. I do suffer from back problems and I have an 3cm hernia at the top of my stomach. The sign I am getting old 😕 but we have all got to keep going , have a good week cheers 🥁🥁🙏

@@Kingy-23drums yes I totally agree 👍 I’m in the same boat 🛶 I have so much problems with memory that I find myself playing less complex songs because I can’t remember what to do. I also have these erasable white boards around my room, with cues written down to tell me when to stop 🛑 or switch from the hi hat to the ride cymbal. 70 years old this December

@The-Tired-Drummer still playing well 👍 what I do I have the song time on my hi fi and I remember at a certain time I do something different on the drums so little note. Do this at 1m 20secs do that at 2m 5 secs etc hope that makes sense 🤔 🥁🥁🙏

Many thanks for the kind words Earl I keep trying 🙏👍

Gary, I didn’t recognize the title, but as soon as you started playing, I knew the song. Thank you for sharing this one on this drizzly west coast morning here in Washington state.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

@gregwonhoff7161 thanks for the comment Greg, I do love most Motown music and the weather is sunny here but not overly warm. My friend as met a American woman and he's moved to the USA last week no where near you. Keep smiling 👍🙏🥁👍en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skaneateles,_New_York

Thanks for the comment TD yeah it was a last minute change, I was doing a song just wasn't working, so I switched to this one. Cheers 🙏🥁👍

@@Kingy-23drums , yes that happens to me as well.

@@The-Tired-Drummer yep some songs come very easy and some don't , keeps my mind working and thats the main thing for doing this. 🙏👍

Many thanks for the comment Hilts 👍🙏

Good Saturday morning to you, my friend across the Pond. I have always liked the song, and I thank you for sharing your take on it with us.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

Many thanks Greg for the comment, yes it was a bee gees song believe it or not, have a good weekend keep smiling 🙏👍🥁🥁🙏​@@gregwonhoff7161

Many thanks for your comment Greg, the cow bell actually fell off whilst I was playing it 🙄 amazing the camera and sound didn't pick it up. B52s USA band single from around 1980 I believe. Keep smiling 🥁🥁🙏🙏👍

It’s funny when this song first came out my girlfriend loved this song and band, I never really was that impressed. Now that I’m older I can see they were a good band, just not my thing back then.

@The-Tired-Drummer yeah they came alone just when punk was on the way out and new wave was just starting, that was in the UK that is. I only liked this song and planet Claire the others not for me cheers 👍🥁🙏

Thanks for the the comment TD you have been off for a few weeks now back up and running again , hope you are well , keep going 👌✌

@@Kingy-23drums yes I’ve been off for a month, I hurt my back by a fluke just doing an adjustment with one of my TOMS I’ve been playing again and have made a few new videos that I’ve posted. I’m going to be putting out less videos now, I was almost done a new song daily and I’m gonna slow down with my videos.

@The-Tired-Drummer least you are playing again keep going 👍

Thanks for the comment Greg, this was a cover of the merseybeats song in the early 60s and this was done around 1974 by Bowie. Glad to report we have a hot sunny day here in Nottingham for a change 🤣 yes enjoying playing this kit. Enjoy your day keep smiling 👍🥁🥁🙏

Thanks for the comment Greg, I did one song and it was only 1.39 long and as you say the average time was around 2mins 20 secs. I did read somewhere it was because recording time was so expensive back then. Then came the 80s and some of those were 10 mins long on a 12 inch single. Have a good weekend weather is back to rain again here in the UK. Keep smiling 👍🙏🙏🥁👍

@@Kingy-23drums Enjoy your rain. We are good today with the high around 70, but that changes tomorrow. Take care, my friend.

And you Greg ​@@gregwonhoff7161

Many thanks for the comment Greg, yes I got this cher one and gypsy tramps and thieves to do soon. Trying to stack a few up as I am moving soon , so I will be busy for a couple of weeks. So with the extra ones I am doing now should keep me going whilst I move. Keep smiling 🙏🥁👍🙏👍

@@Kingy-23drums I am familiar with Gypsies, Tramp, and Thieves, and I have always liked If I Could Turn Back Time. There are others, but they aren’t coming to me right now.

I am not really a Cher fan just picked it because it had a little more tom work and I don't want to just keep playing the same beat all the time, I would get bored, keep smiling 👍

@@Kingy-23drums Gary, I totally understand your point. There are songs that I really like but don’t play to just because the same beat, groove, or whatever it’s called, goes the same through the whole song. No fill=no fun.

I like reggae music, but it's so boring to play, and I am crap at rim shots 😁

Many thanks for the comment Greg, it was 1957/8 I believe was a big hit in the USA and fairly big hit in the UK, keep smiling 👍🥁🥁🙏

Many thanks for the comment Hilts 👍🙏

Another one in the long list of first hearing songs. Thank you, Gary, for sharing your love of playing the drums with us. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend from across the Pond.❤️🙏❤️🙏

Thanks for the comment Greg I do love a bit of Motown, enjoy your weekend with your family all the best 👍🥁🙏🙏

Many thanks for the comment Greg, yes this old one, I did this in remembering my neighbour who loved Crosby stills Nash and young, don't think it was released as a single in the UK. Keep smiling 🙏🙏🥁👍

Many thanks for the comment Greg, nice to know that, but I could not do every day I think I am around 2-3 a week, it's just finding different content, I just don't want to churn out 4/4 time all the time, I try and mix it up a bit. Have a good weekend 👍👍🥁🙏

@@Kingy-23drums Will do, Gary and happy weekend to you and your loved ones.

Many thanks hilts 👍🙏

Many thanks Ahm👍🙏

Thanks for the comment, I got your email and I think you got my reply. Your kit looks great loads to play. No I only have 1 now, when I was first looking, I liked this gretsch but £2.5 K was to much, so I got a cheaper 1 the Tama which was 60% cheaper and not knowing if I was any good I thought that was enough to spend. Not forgetting cymbals and they aren't cheap After nearly 4 years I had a chance to p/x my Tama for this one and I got a great offer so i took it. I did prefer the toms mounted on the bass, but this kit is far better Keep smiling 🥁🥁👍👍🙏.

@@Kingy-23drums I know a couple of drummers here on TH-cam that just love Gretsch drums. One is Earl Bennett, and the other is Mike Malone. It’s so nice that you were able to get the drums dream are made of.

Know of Earl but Mike is a new one on me

@@Kingy-23drums Mike puts out quite a bit of jazz clips, and he is very talented as a drum repairman/modifier. He also has a show at the first of every month called Off the Beaten Path where he takes us along to visit interesting drummers and drum stores. I think his channel is called Mike Malone Drums. I think he is totally worth a peek if you have the time.

Many thanks for your reply Greg, you are 100% correct I use nothing apart from the mini hifi. I did think about 🎤🎤 them up but I just cannot be bothered to do it and then mess about with mixers etc. when I got my 1st hi fi with a graphic equaliser I spent more time messing about trying to get the sound right. Life is to short, my Moto is " it is what it is" and if people don't like it, fine no problem. Do you play any instruments Greg or just love music? Keep smiling 🥁🙏👍👍

@@Kingy-23drums I think I got cut off mid answer. I started in 1964 after watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I bought a pieced together set for $100.00. The bass drum must have been at least 24”, and the toms clamped on to the rim of the bass. There was no floor Tom, but it came with Zildgian cymbals. I banged away on those for a couple of years until I could save enough paper route money for a real set. I got a 4 piece Slingerland set. It was champagne pink sparkle. I played in a band with 4 of my friends playing at quite a few school dances and a few other events. 3 of the guys graduated in 1967, so that was pretty much it until around 2000 when I pieced together just enough drums to get back into it. I sure wished I still had that Slingerland set. Around 2019 I bought a used Mapex 4 piece set it a 12” snare, a 12” floor tom, a 10” high tom, and a n

@@Kingy-23drums darn, I did it again. That was supposed to be a 10” high tom, and an 18” bass drum. I have since added 2 more Mapex toms. I tune them all differently. I also added a couple of old Star toms that the band department in the school district where I taught was getting rid of. One is a 13” and the other is a 16” floor tom. Last I bought a new Mapex 14”x8” snare. It is now a fun 10 piece set. I am self taught, which has left me with many holes in my ability. If you use email or texting I will send you a picture if you would like to see it.

Didn't gene krupa use a slingerland, not even sure they are still about. In the 60s in the UK it was premier and Ludwig. I like zildgian cymbals I borrowed some of mate my who plays and as now gone to low volume. I don't know the price in USA but a pair of K cymbals are £550 ISH new, I just can't warrant paying that as no chance of me playing live. That was along gap 33 years, Yes feel free to send. Have you seen macs iron maiden kits they are fantastic. I do like mapex saturn kits, in the UK they are probably the best value kits you can buy.

keep smiling 🙏🙏👍🥁🥁

Thanks for the comment - Yes it was a 1 hit wonder in 1961 i think, something different 👍👍

If this unknown tome song was released in 1961, I was a mere 11 years old. Thanks for sharing your love of drumming with us. Have a wonderful weekend.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️

Many thanks for the comment Greg, I wasn't born for another 2 years , and at last we have had a week of ☀️☀️ and more to come👍 have a good weekend keep smiling 🙏🙏🥁🥁👍

Many thanks for the comment Greg, I actually did this one 2 years ago , but I have held it back as I think it's not that good and will be waiting for the 👎 which is fair enough.

@@Kingy-23drums I think that you are looking at Washington D.C. which I on the eastern side of the U. S. I am in Washington state way on the other side of the country. We are the top left state.
