Actual Proof drum cover - Jimflys2

This is pretty ambitious. Mixed meter throughout. I saw Herbie play this in April and new that I must try and learn it so I could cover it. Thanks for checking out this version which Vinnie played on. It is not the original version from 1973 with Mike Clark on drums.

SEVEN DAYS STING DRUM COVER - Jim Huwe #jimflys2 #coverthepoliceandsting24

Thanks for watching this. Though I covered this tune some time ago, I wanted to redo it and with the opportunity to cover the police and sting week July 19-25 2024, it was a great time to dust this off and play it again. I am very happy with this. No doubt this was a hard song to learn with the implied 4 feel over the actual 5/4 time signature. I rarely attempt to play note for note from the or...

Buffing on silver plating with rouge and Kerosene
Просмотров 739Месяц назад
The Kerosene trick is an old repair trick from years and years ago that I had always heard of. I had never tried it until recently. The Kerosene helps to lubricate and keep the rouge from embedding into the finish or leaving little bumps of rouge caked up. degreasing or wiping down is very easy with this trick and the results are better than hand polishing silver.

2 overhead AKG P170s and an Audix D6 on the kick. That is all I used and I like it! This track featured the great Danny Gottlieb on drums, Lyle Mays piano, Mark Eagan on bass, Pat guitar. Great tune from 1977/78. Please let me know what you think on the mix and sound.

This is a song by Billy Joel done by Garth Brooks. It was a huge hit for Garth. I invited my good friend Earl "The Hammer" Bennett to cover the Bill Joel version since he is so good with Billy's tunes and I would do the Garth version to be released on same day for the drumming community to A-B them! How cool! Enjoy and do check out Earl's version on You Tube. I know I will!

Sweet Cover 😊
Very nice. Great song from what I thought was late 80s. Turns out it was released in '83. Where does the time go? Some songs like this one take you back & I try to remember where I was & what I was doing.
Yes, this puts me right back in my senior year. Grwat times and music. Thanks!
Awesome Jim!! Your drumming is excellent. Loved the way you used the original Journey video. Thanks for sharing!
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.
This is cool to the Nth degree! The kit sounds wonderful and you laid it in perfectly...🎵
Thank you Randy. God bless your weekend and stay vigilant in these wicked days when many will fall away and already have.
When I see that you have released another drum cover I know that what I see and hear will be done in the most professional of manners, because that is what you are, my friend. You are a professional’s professional to the highest degree. Wonderful drumming to this Journey classic, Mr.flys2.❤️🙏🏻👏🏼❤️🙏🏻👏🏼😢
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.❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Great drumming Jim! Steve Smith would be proud! When Journey was at the top of their game!
@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.
Fantastic
This is above my paygrade, so i'll just take your word for it about the meter and other technical stuff. What I can say is this is kick ass all the way through. Amazing groove. Awesome sound. Drums are tuned perfectly. Love the playing and dynamics. Amazing job, man. I definitely could not play anything even close to this. Did I say amazing?! LOL
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!
Finally someone who knows how to use cymbals. Great job pal.
Jim, my day gig is safety … no guarding? 😳 be careful! 😊👍🏻🙏🏻
Can't have a guard on a lathe, but yeah a little dicey on this maneuver. Shhhh.....
@@jimflys2 😳😊👍🏻🙏🏻
So many did great. Lots did not continue in what they learned. :(
Duffy was a friend of mine. I miss him terribly. I’m so glad you were an enamored as I was first time I saw him! RIP Duffy ✝️
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!
Nice shuffle bro - sweet old kit, just got my first vintage Rogers at the age of 60 (better late than never).
Same age! 60 rules!
Jim, I have a VERY similar story from 16-year-old me being blown away and driven nearly to tears, standing backstage at a Basie Orchestra show, summer 1980. I was 16 also. I got to hang with Duffy, met Freddie Green, Butch Miles hosted a party at his home that day and the guys were all pretty ‘happy’…another era. I’m going to post an ‘answer’ story video to yours specifically. I’m in NY/Maryland, where you at?
Wisconsin
Beautiful job
Excellent job
You have an idyllic life!
You are very funny! 😂
Jim that 22” Paiste Traditional ride is a killer cymbal for this track! Great funk groove and making all the hits! The drums sound awesome too … great work on this one … is this a Mike Clarke drum track? Also your soloing chops are dialed in my friend! Great work!
@@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!
🤜🤛👍
Great story. Duffy was AMAZING!!!!!
Indeed!
With the amount of hours you have in that repair wouldn’t have been cheaper to just buy a new instrument. Just out of curiosity how much would a repair like that cost?
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.
Jim you're drumming is so smooth I really enjoy it. I was watching you restore the Gretsch drums kit you are a master Craftsmen!
Wow, thanks! I do appreciate that so much!
I have a 1963 Broadkaster red sparkle set 14 snare, 12 & 14 toms and 20" bass purchased new by me. Still my one and only set. Never was happy with the snare response so use Ludwigs, either a 5 x14 Supraphonic or a 6.5 x14 BB. What I find surprising is that you had no trouble fitting new heads to the Gretsch's. I had to find heads that were purposely over size to easily slip on, i.e., "vintage" grades.
@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.
Vinnie cracked me up. No Terry?
LOL! I only have 2 roto toms.
You guys play well together, tight! Very nice brother!!!
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.
Groovy, man!!!❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️
One more thing great … I love the trading fours section at 7:25 you played some great stuff here very musical Jim! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻💯💯💯💯💯
@earldrum thanks so much Earl. It was a fun gig for a few folks. Playing with a real Hammond is si cool.
Nice house kit … old Rogers! Sweet! Sweet shuffle too! That Istanbul sounds great too!
Tate had a drum cam video at this club with this kit too. About a year ago?
This is such a classic from Sting! I wish I snagged this song but you were well suited for it. I approve this video 👍
Thank you, Chris! I appreciate that..😊
Great song!!! Sir you did absolutely perfectly performed. Great job. Keep rocking 🤘
Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
Jenius Jim...😎
Thank you, buddy. I'm honored.
great performance!!! really, really good!!!
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.
Dude, I jam this song all the time, trying to find new fills to throw into 5/4, such a great song!!!
What a great way to practice doing fills in odd time. Good on you! Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
First of all, the sound is perfect. Levels are so well balanced. Second, what splashes are those? They sound amazing! Third, playing and execution are top notch. Love all the Jim additions to the song. Love what you're doing in the bridge. Very tasty. This rendition proves that you don't have to play excellent drum songs note for note for the cover to be just as amazing as the original. I can't speak to this video enough, brother. To say I am impressed is an understatement. I came in expecting a good cover, but I got greatness. Bravo, Jim! Best cover of 2024 so far IMO!
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!
The pinnacle of the theme week! Excellent drumming handling the odd timings and all the nuances of this great song! Outstanding video Jim! Very awesome contribution to #coverthepoliceandsting24
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. ;)
One of the most interesting songs in his repertoire but one of my favs - excellent cover and the technique and sound are spot on! Well done Jim!
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.
Floating w Vinnie. This is favorite of mine. Nice Jim!!!
Thanks, Paul. Looking forward to our next gigs together!!
Awesome drumming Jim! Great work nailing the important drum parts! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🥁😎
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.🎩❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️🤩
Musical and percussive artistry on full display! Beautifully played...🎵
Thank you, Randy.
Awesome work!
Thanks for the visit. I appreciate it!
Perfect reverb on the rim knocks wow! Love the HH choice! Which model are they? Sound so good! Another great performance Jim!!
Man those cymbals sound so good!!! Love that shuffle. Awesome addition to the Police week brother!!! LOVE 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.
very beautiful. played very emotionally and very musically.
Mr.jimflys2, boy oh boy, that set of drums is dialed in to perfection. Everything sounds so good, and your wonderful drumming enhances them even more. If you are yearning for more Sting songs there is one that I have always just loved, but I don’t know the name. It has something to do with golden fields of barley, I think. I don’t know if that is part of the title, but it is mentioned in the song.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️
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
Great job -
Really smooth sounding drum cover! This is one that Kelly picked for the list and I didn’t remember the song. I see why he wanted it on the list, and you took on the challenge nicely!
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.
Beautifully played Jim! Deep groove and pocket! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
Thanks, man. I appreciate that a lot!
What kind of accent cymbal are you using? Sounds trashy. Love it
That is a 16" Agazarian.Super thin
I saw Danny in 1984 at Ohio State when he was doing a clinic. Endorsed Ludwig, and Paiste 2002's
