Yes, this puts me right back in my senior year. Grwat times and music. Thanks!

Thanks, Bob. Yeah, my one camera didn't work right, so I needed something to bring more visual interest. I appreciate the comment. Looking forward to your next offering.

Thank you Randy. God bless your weekend and stay vigilant in these wicked days when many will fall away and already have.

Thank you so much, Greg. I appreciate that so much. I will try to keep it real - for you, for me, for anyone... Have a great weekend.

@@jimflys2 You too, Mr.Jim. I appreciate your friendship immensely, my highflying friend.❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

@earldrum Thanks a bunch! Steve is possibly my number 1 hero. He never stops growing and inspiring. This will probably be my last video for a while. Going on vacation where I'll have no cell service for a couple weeks in Sept.

Well thanks, little brother, with the big sound. I can say I know where it is weak. I do not have the kind of chops I need to pull off these 4 choruses of drum solo. I almost cut it to show just one chorus. But, caution is the better part of valor and I am kind of a go for it guy and hope for the best. I know my weaknesses. Thanks for recognizing the strengths. But I am a little bummed on only 66 views. This was by far the hardest song I have ever done. Time for me to cover Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seager.... LOL!

Can't have a guard on a lathe, but yeah a little dicey on this maneuver. Shhhh.....

@@jimflys2 😳😊👍🏻🙏🏻

Awesome! I wish I would have gotten the opportunity to be his friend. All the interviews I have seen, he would have been a good hang. Very articulate man. And he swung so hard. You have no idea how much he impacted my playing....to this day!

Same age! 60 rules!

@@earldrum I agree

Good morning to you,my high flying friend. I just don’t understand jazz, and can’t fr the life of me figure out how you jazzists can even begin to know what to play and when to play it. To me, it’s well played music with drum/cymbal hits going everywhere. It’s a mezzmerizing mess of mystical music.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏🤷😂🤷 This is an awesome performance by a very talented captain of the airwaves.

Earl, thank you! And Greg and CCM. This was the live version that had Vinnie on it. Kind of hard to come up with 4 choruses of drum solo because his chops are endless and mine are about 1 chorus worthy. But I liked the vibe of the live, recent version more than the 1973 one. Really hard tine. Thanks everyone!

Indeed!

In this case, 2 thjngs. They wanted that horn repaired. It was a borrowed horn. Replacment wojld have been far more. I think this only ran about 250.00 when I did it. A used horn would have even been a bit more than that.

Wow, thanks! I do appreciate that so much!

@ericbrunner4140 and today Remo make Vintage head to fit these slightly oversize shells. Yep Gretsch snares have never been classics. Ludwigs are. Gretsch snares are just raspy. I had a 6 1/2 blue sparkle round badge. I wanted to love it. I could never get it to sound good, so I sold it for $50.00 to a Gretsch freak in Ohio...like 1988. I'm sure he was happy.

LOL! I only have 2 roto toms.

Thanks! That's about our 3rd gig together. Trying to do Soul music and some jazz. More accessible stuff for folks. Though I have done straight up, really burning, sophisticated with both of these guys in different settings! Real piano etc.

@earldrum thanks so much Earl. It was a fun gig for a few folks. Playing with a real Hammond is si cool.

Tate had a drum cam video at this club with this kit too. About a year ago?

Thank you, Chris! I appreciate that..😊

Thank you very much for watching and commenting!

Thank you, buddy. I'm honored.

Thanks so much! I really love this song and the implied 4 over 5/4 feel. Took a really long time to get that down.

What a great way to practice doing fills in odd time. Good on you! Thanks for watching and commenting! :)

Thank you so much for your effusive comments. Best cover of 2024 is a pretty hug compliment. Thank you, bruv, I really take that to heart! Bless you. O.K. the splashes. 8" Zildjian paper thin from 1983. Then, a 12" like paper thin Agazarian splash from about 15 years ago. 35.00 bucks. It is amazing. Thanks to you and Rich for organizing this fun drummer for drummer hang and challenge. Super cool!

Thanks again, so much, for organizing this challenge and virtual hang. Such a cool idea. I appreciate the recognition and kinds words very much, brother. ;)

I appreciate the good words, my friend. It took a while to get comfortable with the feel. I remember first being exposed to Vinnie and his implied metric modulations/feels back in 1986 when I received a magazine with a cassette - Percussioner International. I was stunned! Been working on some of those ideas since.

Thanks, Paul. Looking forward to our next gigs together!!

Super cool tune. Thanks so much. I appreciate that.

Mr.jimflys2, I am blown away by your skillful play on this obscure tune. It seems like the few friends that I faithfully follow here are digging down deep into the archives and coming up with songs I have never heard before, and not only that, you guys are reaching new levels in your orchestration and execution. I tip my hat to you and those other few.🎩❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️🤩

Thank you, Randy.

Thanks for the visit. I appreciate it!

The A Zildjian crashes are 17" and 16". The 22" Paiste trad light jazz ride worked well. I go for the sounds that seem to work with the song and have no problem mixing brands and alloys if that particular instrument serves better than a same alloy one that is just a little off.

Fields of Gold it is called. There may be someone covering that in this series I think. Thanks so much, Greg.

@@jimflys2 Thanks, Mr.jimflys2. I just watched a video of Sing singing it. I just think that is such a pretty song. There doesn’t appear to be anything other than solid pocket play, but I still love it.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

Agreed

It's such a musical tune. Never be afraid to play a great ballad. Even though some will look past them, that is where musicianship resides. I appreciate your comment and work promoting this whole deal. Both you guys.

Thanks, man. I appreciate that a lot!

That is a 16" Agazarian.Super thin
