Underrated? I'm not sure that he IS underrated. Granted. he's been out of the rotation for a while, but he's still a well-known bad-ass. I mean, when anyone thinks of Black Sabbath, there he is! Very HIGHLY-RATED. People still think of him. People are still inspired by him. I know that I am.

[@whyismynametaken123]

Bill Ward didn't care much about being "proper" he didn't care to having perfect timing and what not. All he cared about was the "feel" of the song. To me he's more like someone who writes really good movie sound tracks like John Williams (who did star wars / jurassic park / etc). Hell pretty much everyone in black sabbath was unorthodox in their play styles.

[@ConservativeGangstR]

Couldn't have said it better. I heard this song this morning and his drumming gives this song so much momentum. There seemed to be a lot more of the Bongo sound on the radio version.

[@ConservativeGangstR]

He's a lot like Danny Carey in that way. They both compliment their bandmates perfectly.

The father of animalistic heavy metal drumming, with groove for days.

[@TheeSandman1]

Hearing his solo drum track really lets you hear how solid he was. I never did like the mix of this album. He was WAY too low in the mix and after hearing this it really boggles my mind why he wasn't more of the centerpiece of this album. Man the mix means so much to the success of an album. I really believe that.

What??? I can play that song with ease, fills and all. Probably one of the easiest songs Sabbath has outside of Paranoid.

[@davidfulford9493]

Always been a Sabbath fan, when I started playing hardest rock, I didn't consider Sabbath as metal, we didn't have the net to seperate instruments being played. We had the vinyl and ears. So unless you knew a sound engineer, you depended on your hearing to figure it out!! Since Bill was such an extraordinary percussionist, He played with decisive beats that you could pickup his rythmn without a lot of work. With a few adjustments on your stereo isolation of the drums was almost easy since most Sabbath recordings put the drums and bass on one channel and Tony ( lead guitar) on the other channel. Ozzy was usually on both. Brilliant mixing!!!

It's called playing without a metronome and pushing the beat. Gives the illusion of anticipation. It's a driving song so playing ahead of the beat seems to be suitable for this song. There are songs that he plays behind the best for that added suspense.

Seriously Bill Ward bloody excellent drummer and not just metal listen to the subtlety of The Wizard but also one of the hardest hitting drummers, Behind the wall of sleep for example , but listen to Rat Salad for some stunning snare work. Lucky enough to see him in 2001. Also saw Sabbath in 2005 but weaker by comparison without Bill Ward.

how true, i shook his hand, and it was the size of of catchers mitt! and he was as big as a line backer!

There is a part on the Wizard where he hits a cowbell. It's one of my favorite simple fills.

I honestly think Sabbath is probably the best and most influential band of all time. Metal as a genre is still going fairly large around the world in various forms and has never really died down. They literally created an entire industry and way of life. They amount of creativity is just insane from every member. Iommi made more riffs than Jimmy Page and Bill Ward is even heavier and looser than Bonham.

@@ochocabra1542 OK, but on the album there's a lot more of the "dubs" (:42) than here.
