Bill Ward is crazily underrated.

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

good point

[@joeykiser2548]

I was shocked he wasn’t mentioned!

[@mariolouziotis2613]

Rejoice! The next "The Genius of" video is going to be about him (finally!). Hope they cover the more jazzy tracks of Sabbath.

Audio engineering in the 60s and 70s is unparalleled. What they were able to do without all the computer technology we take for granted now is amazing.

I grew up with 2000s and 2010s music. In my high school period, most of my friends were listening to KPOP (SNSD, Super junior, etc.). I was super not into those music, nor most of the hit singles in western music. I remember one day in the English lesson, my English teacher gave us an exercise: listen to a song (actually it was a MV) and fill in the blanks of the missing lyrics. The song was Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2 (with The Happiest Days of Our Lives). It changed me forever. From that day, my playlist has been filled with 70s music (i guess over 80% of songs are from the 70s). 70s was truly the best era of modern music.

[@facelessandnameless]

60s - 90s music is incredible.

[@wojteksnieszko571]

Peter Criss didn't play on Kiss' Dynasty album. Drum parts were recorded by Anton Fig.

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

​@@fredericoa.c. Bruford's best work is with King Crimson

[@fredericoa.c.]

@@VuotoPneumaNN I do agree with that, even though I love his work in Steve Howe's solo project and in the jazz group he formed.

[@caseyclawson91]

I quite enjoyed the metal Daniel Radcliffe

[@flightgravity7483]

Recognized Mick Fleetwood and Jimmy Chamberlin right away. It’s funny that Jimmy mimicking a drum loop came back for 1979, because the Pumpkins started with a drum machine before Jimmy joined. The drum intro for I Am One was programmed by Billy Corgan on a drum machine, and Jimmy started putting a floor tom on his rack to make it easier to play.

[@billyg7105]

I just was asking why he was never talked about.

[@TheSkyrocketSound]

Bill Buford for me, because of the creativity.

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor) is from the '70s, 1979 to be precise so it would fit. Palmer's career had three distinct phases, initial solo career (essentially a one hit wonder), Power Station, and then a revived solo career after that.

[@buzzbomb67]

Agreed re the 70s being the decade of musical innovation and technical revolution. The 80s rejected the 70s, but the 90s embraced the 70s, which explains why I love the 70s and 90s, musically speaking. Sib Hashian is another one of my favorites, because … I mean, Boston! Foreplay, the intro to Long Time, is so great! Also Alex Van Halen!

[@buzzbomb67]

Got the first one wrong… thought it was Stuart Copeland So Lonely. Actually got More Than A Feeling right lol!

[@DavidOakesMusic]

I'm not even a fan of RUSH in the slightest but it's funny when people who say they are RUSH fanatics - pronounce it Neil PURT 😆

[@jim9685769]

Even funnier when Canadians mispronounce “about” as “a boot.” So what do they know about pronunciation. And then you have Bostonians that misspronounce everything!

I was a teen in the 80s and essentially a complete metalhead. BUT I really learned today what period of music really stuck with me and influenced me. It was the 70s. I got all but 1.

I'm a little mad that y'all said "Oh, Donna Summer - 'I Will Survive'", but she never recorded that song. It was Gloria Gaynor who sang that song.

[@Alanb_69]

@jjcdrumplay Yes, Ansley Dunbar was there before Steve. Steve joined in 1979. In 86 Mike Baird drummed on Raised on Radio (a few songs featured Steve Smith on drums). Then Deen Castronovo, who is the current drummer. They also had Narada Michael Walden on 1 album and various other touring drummers through the years.

What's with the Donna Summer and "I will survive"? Donna Summer never recorded that song. She did sing it once at a Grammy Award show. The artist was Gloria Gaynor and the drummer on the track was the heavily recorded studio drummer .James Gadson.

[@MusedeMented]

Indeed!!

[@TheBearAndTheBull]

Song 2 was recorded with 2 drum kits with the drummer Dave and Guitarist Graham playing simultaneously. So could quite possibly have sounded like the bonus clip if only one of the kits was isolated as one focused on the hi hat while the other on the toms.

What happened to the Drum Department? Hoping to see more episodes

[@Dug6666666]

Drumeo make such fun content. I'm a bit bored with similar content in the electric guitar world (I'm not a drummer) I had to laugh at how much the isolated drum tracks sounded like presets on my old Boss Dr Rhythm drum machine. They were much better parts than the drum machine, it was the sound that put me in mind. When you played the bonus track from a later decade with a more treble sound it made sense. So there you go I learned something, my DR220A is not obsolete it makes a great 70-80's sound.

[@EMCproductions]

Video 35 of commenting until Drumeo makes a "Best Rudimental Drummer of the Year" award category

[@spears104]

At 57:48 doing the promo Kyle amazingly sounds exactly like Curly Howard (The Three Stooges)!

[@MrCanuck111]

I thought I recognized “More Than a Feeling” but Boston actually had more than 3 albums so I got thrown off.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

@13:25 I knew it was disco that was trying to sound like a CTI record of the Gadd era but knew it wasn't Gadd - very cool to hear - and interesting history of the loop and the use , forgot the Bee Gee's drummer name - thought like the others they had simply used USA session guys for that

[@sportsygirl8]

I love HOTEL CALIFORNIA!!!! I hate that I couldn't come up with Don Henley! I recognized the sound and I was trying to come up with the song and band, but couldn't. I am an Eagles fan...that hurt. lol I love the live version of this song so much. #2 Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees. Only know the song and artist on that. Don't know the name of the drummer. #3 KISS and I Was Made For Lovin' You. #4 Bob Marley & the Wailers don't know song or drummer. #5 Sib Hashian, Boston, More Than A Feeling. Boston did 5 albums, actually. 2 in the 70's, 1 in the 80's 1 in the 90's and 1 in 2013. Boston is my 2nd favorite classic rock band...fantastic band and they deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. I can't believe I didn't get #6 right with Elton John's drummer and Crocodile Rock, that one is my most favorite from Elton. #8 Fleetwood Mac #11 Sounds like I Will Survive? I totally agree that the 70's was the best decade for music Rock especially, the 80's was pretty good too. 70's & 80's is what I like listening to even though I was born in 1991.

[@carlupthegrove262]

To me this demonstrates how much our drum parts are part of the song and very difficult to identify when the drums alone are isolated. I've heard some of my own tracks isolated and they sound.... odd without the rest of the song. Play for the song.

[@JohnPrinzo]

I can't believe the first time I've heard The Roctopus, Jimmy Chamberlin mentioned on Drumeo the song was 1979

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

@36:00 I heard it at the sound of the first snare hit - yes that explains much about Fleetwood Mac.

[@lennyghoul]

Wow I got one right! Fleetwood Mac.

[@ffraniel]

Not a 70s music fan but gt nearly all right. I< got the wrong fleetwood mac song (said 'go your own way' - similar beat but different vibe) and never heard golden earring song. Also, for i will survive i said 'i feel love' by... donna summers, but listened to it and that is like one of the most famous drum machine songs i feel like i don't deserve points for that!
