Bravo, Earl!!!!!!!!!! You’re honorable - that is, true to the music of the highest paid professionals. They ought to call you and say thank you. The fills in the 70s and 80s are what I think drew me to this instrument. Additionally, and importantly, it’s what the drummers didn’t play - the space they allowed - that also contributes to its sonic beauty. Fantastic lighting, as well!!!! Excellent and creative editing!!! Finally, very prolific in the amount and variety of music. Bravo!!!!!!
I know I sound like a broken record, but I just can’t get enough of those totally terrific tomtastic tidbits of tomfoolery. Great drumming, Hammer.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️
@@Claes_Isacson thanks for watching Claes! I pulled that cymbal out for this song specifically! I also got to use my Ludwig headed tambourine just like Ray Cooper! 🙏🏻😎👍🏻🥁
My uncle used an 18" riveted china and I always thought it was the coolest thing! Great playing on this one man. Reminds me of what a good song this is!
@@KMKanDrum thanks for watching Kelly! I have a few chinas with rivets. Nigel Olsson has used a 24” sizzle ride for years to get that sound on this song! All I had was an old Paiste 602 Sizzle Ride but it worked. Do you know who got your uncle’s cymbals? That would be a great find! 🙏🏻😎👍🏻🥁
@@JayDrums_Music thanks for the feedback Jay! It is a ballad tempo that requires playing behind … but I love Nigel Olsson’s drumming on this song! 🙏🏻😎👍🏻🥁
