Maaaaaaaaaaate! That was just cathartic to watch …your sticking, the ghost notes, the snare accents, your cymbal play through and fade-off/outtro - perfection 🧡💙💚💜🤍 I swear I could see Jamie Oldaker’s spirit dancing on your snare 🎉
This is such a great cover... my favorite ever. I'm just not good enough to do it like you. Your ghost notes are perfection, along with the the polyrhythm on the high hat, and those smooth double stroke rolls in your fill.
That was awesome! I just started drumming at 53 but it’s something I wanted to do all my life. Me and some guys put a garage band together and I’m learning this groove. You’re smooth as silk bro. I hope to be half as good as you some day.
Thank you!!!! Dave Weckl helped me pick out the ride cymbal (20" Zildjian K Custom) at a drum clinic way back in 1990. The two crash cymbals are CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP Wuhon's. The hi-hats are 14" Zildjian New Beats from a mail order catalog in 1979. I'm glad you like them!!
That was tremendous Earl !! Its impossible to be anything but happy watching you exuberantly playing this beautiful song!! The kit sounds incredible! You are definately the drummer to beat!! ( That will never happen!!) ♥️🙏🥁👍🙏♥️
A favorite song of mine. You've nailed it. SOOO important to hit that ride properly...Damn, brother...I think I'll just binge watch your vids on this sunny South Florida day. Awesome stuff. Respect.
Thank you!! I wish I could answer your question but I am absolutely TERRIBLE at explaining how things are played. At the risk of exposing my ignorance, it's kind of a one-and-a-two...three-and-four pattern on the hi-hat and ride. See what I mean???? I SUCK as a teacher!!!!!
Yes, I switch out my ride cymbal quite often to match whatever song I am covering. Cymbals are like children--I can't pick a favorite. I love them all!! Thanks!!
the short quick rolls at each little break is what makes this groove right !
Absolute the best drummer I’ve seen who keeps the groove auténtical ! This is so smooth, simply lovely well done dude!
Thank you for your enthusiastic support!!!
👍👍
I agree, R.I.P. Jamie Oldaker was amazing, this guy....he's ok.

You are far too kind. Thank you!!!!
I hope I can get a little close to the way you play. Excellent drumming!!

I wish! I've never played anything perfectly in my life but at least I'm having fun. Thanks!!

Nice one brother! Holding that pattern on the hats and the ride is harder than you make it look.
Thank you!!
Espectacular verlos tocar estás piezas clásicas del rock aún hay esperanza de no escuchar más reggaetón
Good job!!!
At 1:46 are you hitting the bell of the cymbal with the side of your stick?
Yes, I am hitting the bell of the cymbal with the side of the stick.
Really enjoyed it!!
I'm glad you enjoyed my Karaoke drumming!!!

Very nice Steve. Still perplexed a bit by the hi hat pattern. Are you alternating double stroke 8ths with triplets?

Top 🎉
Excellent 👏👏
Thank you!!
Hi Steve, check out my bass cover of Cocain. th-cam.com/video/Z60AcIjN9VI/w-d-xo.html See what you think,many thanks👍
Sound is awesome! Do you use hydraulic tom heads?
Thank you! Yes, I use Evans pinstripe heads.
Nice 5- and 6-stroke rolls
Thank you!!!! I didn't even know I was playing 5- and 6-stroke rolls. 🙂
👹👹🤟🤟🥁🥁
Are you hitting the rimshot? I cant tell Steve???
Like
Do you change your symbols in regards to the cover your playing or do you have a “favorite” set up for them?
Yes, I switch out my ride cymbal quite often to match whatever song I am covering. Cymbals are like children--I can't pick a favorite. I love them all!! Thanks!!
What headphones do you use/prefer?
I use Vic Firth headphones.
With all do respect, May I put in for a request???? Police (Copeland can be a challenge)
I have a Police song on my channel--Message In A Bottle. th-cam.com/video/S1wws3IgSks/w-d-xo.html
Your so on!
