Thank you for honoring Jamie! I used to hear him every night in St Louis in the Chase Park-Plaza, the “Basement” club playing for Phil Driscoll with Dick Simms (B3) and Sergio Pastora (percussion). This was the time when they were on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Not bad. Uncle Jamie called it the gallop. I used to sit in his lap and watch him play. 😢 I wish I had gotten to spend more time with him.

Wow…@EvilLabStudios thanks so much for sharing this…your uncle was a tremendous influence on me in my youth learning to play drums. A ‘not bad’ is good enough for me! Jamie had so much feel and groove…I loved his playing! Cheers!

The groove is known as a Texas swing & has been from long before Frank Beard famously used it, maybe you're not aware of that? you don't mention it. Also, as someone else mentions, he plays all 4 on the snare.

This is a shuffle. There are variations that include the ‘swing pattern’ on the hit hat or ride but this isn’t one of them. I’ve a series of 12 Essential shuffles here on my channel however that does include that variation if you’d like to go check. kzbin.info/aero/PL15jTfslM66qLhoi4Z8JUN88_cUpD0sLa&si=zp7WNF3rbyPQvBfs

Lovely job. Regarding the triplet fill. Sounds great, traditional Bonham. However, what I’ve seen is a loose flam triplet twice around the kit. Snare kick, rack Tom kick, floor Tom kick and repeat finishing with snare flam .

Hi Alan , thanks for uploading ! What is the sticking for the fill ? Is it RLK or do 6:01 you start with the bass and do KRL ? I think it’s easier to do the latter so that you don’t need 2 very quick bass hits to come out of it and crash on the 1 with the bass - many thanks cheers

I’m not able to play as much as I would like to do to a botched neck surgery that left my good hand numb 24/7 and the loss of muscle in both arms that are needed for holding on to the sticks while playing. Last time I played was years ago at church and I rubberbanded the sticks to my hands and at the end of each song the sweat-spot position of each stick was gone and I was holding on for dear life like I was handling my old Harley! Yup I was gripping on those sticks like tree-vines. Haven’t played since

This is the difference between jazz and rock. Just to hold the ride pattern throughout is very difficult. Jazz players make hard things look easy while rock drummers make easy things appear hard. I'm Dave Weckl and I approve my own comment. 😜😜
