- Pick Withers gives a unique tutorial on how to play Sultans Of Swing. Long overdue, but better late than never. More like a home movie than a staged studio recording, but that’s Pick’s style!

You wont recall me, Pick. But I recall you very well. 1977 or 78, DS at Lowestoft's South Pier, You were unloading from the lorry and I asked for your autograph as an excited 15 year old - you were astonished as to why I wanted it and I was invited into the soundcheck. You had a black Honky Tonk t-shirt on and David Knopfler was joking around with you.
Great drummer, great bloke. Great memories
Thank you Mr Withers. I think too often drummers do not get enough credit for not only the way they play, but the creativity they bring to their performance. Hearing this song at a young age was definitely a formative moment for me and the way you played the "time bell" absolutely made the song for me. Truly inspiring.
It’s these subtle touches that make your drumming unique, Dire Straits never quite sounded as good without you ! You added an energy and flair to the songs. Cheers
Pick, nobody can play Sultans like you. I mean , there's so many covers and it's always boring. You're the best. I also like what you do on Once Upon In The West. It's pure gold!
The ultimate !! The best and cleanest drummer I have heard just perfection.
Thanks so much pick
Glad to see you Pick ....just to let you know you are one of my favourite drummers ....
What a treat, I loved his playing , great touch and feel
You're a legend Pick👏👏
Incredible, more than 30 years ago I had only a vinyl with pictures of four dire straits members, an now, I can tell directly thanks for your music. Cheers from Brasil.
Wow, a lesson from the man himself!
OMG so glad to find this, the roots of my drumming and my feel come from listening to your playing on that particular Dire Straits record. You are a legend!!! Good to see you Sir!!!
Pick Withers is the man
This channel is an excellent idea. Looking forward to learning some cool tips from a proper old school drummer.
Thank you Pick for this jewel
Loving the cymbal patina! 😂
Very nice. I played many years with an old friend of yours from Leicester - Jim Gannon.
Love this stuff, Pick you're a legend, what a drummer! 🔝
Lenda viva!!!!!!! Melhor batera do DS
Great Pick! Thanks a lot. If you want, when possible, a tutorial of In the Gallery and Skateaway.
Nice to hear it played how it should be!
Great drummer!!
Great. Studio mixing makes drums sound much better than they do in the flesh though.
That puppy is the Sultan of Cute!
Great stuff, Pick.
I would love for you to do one on “Water of love”.
Too many drummers can’t get that intro right.
Amazing! Thank you Pick.
Great cover, nice example also for my beginner Students, thanks for sharing !
Not really a cover, is it? It's Pick after all!
love the socks
Dortmund 1979. British Rock Festival. Police, Dire Straits, Sniff 'n The Tears, Barclay James Harvest and Dr Feelgood. It only cost about £20. A great night and great value for money.😊
Great Pick thanks, seen you playing with Rab Noaks on old OGWT.cheers
Nice one Pick, great stuff. Couple of friendly suggestions for any future videos - sit Luca closer to the camera (other side of the kit) to be more audible when you play louder and film in landscape for anyone wanting to watch through a tv. Hope all is well with you. Lots of love from Spain
What a pleasure to see him giving these tips. Great Pick, a master of his instrument! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💎❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us, I have duly raised my top hat! If it's any comfort, George Grantham most likely pinched that sticking pattern himself from 'Stick Control' by George Stone (Single Beat Comb. No.33).
Top bloke.
Excelent!! Great Pick :)
Another brick in the Wall.
Pick really admire you a excellent drummer teacher special request from another drummer to you please play a gene Krupa sound for me to work no sing sing no rock just a jazzy Krupa snare Tom exercise to work on no rock beats on the high hat Krupa all the way thank you
Kind of you to fit this in between emptying the bins, Pick.

So happy to get this 🥹🥹 Thanks Pick !! This is probably the song I spent the most time practicing on in 25+ yrs of drumming…and still I know I’m not yet there 😅
Something I would have loved to hear about, and which is often overlooked by drummers attempting to play SOS: on the verse pattern, the kick is sometimes played together with the snare ; I myself realized it only after 20years of playing it « wrong »
And last.. I wish you could adress the ride pattern on the second part of the verses, with accents on the offbeat (the second 8th note), while playing the hi hat on foot, on the beat..
