Deep Purple Highway Star Awesome Collaboration

[@TheDrumChannel]

I love how music brings you back - kinda like re-living our youth. You remember the exact place you were when you heard this song. Thanks so much - we all appreciate it.

[@TheDrumChannel]

You've seen the rest now here's the best! Total 100% effort on all levels. This is Highway Star - the Deep Purple classic rock hit from the 70's

[@muxux4]

Joe, you ROCK!

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks Bro

[@Cast412]

Awesome effort from everyone! Thanks for the invite to play Hammond on this.. This video and audio simply blows me away. This has the Honors of being my 1st full band collaboration that's released! It's been a long trip, but well worth it.

[@robertblackmon1]

Great job guys. I'm 53 yrs old and ive always loved that song esp. made in japan. Keep up the work.

[@DRMessinger]

My comment: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This rocks!! The world could watch this forever!! Great Job to all!! No wonder they call this CLASSIC!

[@TheDrumChannel]

Aww Sis - your'e too kind. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You know what goes into these to make them happen. It was a fun project. I should have done this one with you. I'm sure it would have come out much different! Take care

[@chessdude67]

Excellent, Guys! I enjoyed the trip. You all rock and love the editing. Thumbs way up. Tim 

[@TheDrumChannel]

David - what can I say. I didn't know this was your first collab. Perfect picture, perfect playing really easy to get along with and an attention for detail which is needed to make these come out good. Would love to do another one. I actually have a request that I'd like to ask of you shortly. Great job and great effort all around!

[@Donn713]

Man it must really feel good for you to finally have this one on line huh? Thanks for spending so much time on this. Your playing is second to none. The mix is outstanding and the editing puts it all over the top. I love the cars and the girls. I'm looking forward to our next collab. Take care of those shoulders too.

[@17drums]

Superb effort all-around from everyone! Great mix and video editing too, Joe!

[@wildwildsteph]

Hey Joe, wonderful collab ! This is one of my favorite DP song ! Great job, you guys ROCK !!! Cheers :-)

[@Craigman65]

Great guitar work Dave! The whole package too!

[@Christianonbass]

I fuckin' love it! Thanks for sending this to me. I really love the intro to this tune, and you were faithful to the original Machine head version. (Starting @ 0.16) I always loved the bass part, and with your Rik sound it is awesome here!

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks so much Len for being the first to comment. These guys really know how to rock don't you think? I don't think there's one mistake in there. A pleasure to work with these guys. Thanks so much for taking the time to write a comment.

[@TheDrumChannel]

Yes Dave does rock the boat on this one doesn't he? But then again I don't expect anything less from that guy. He is just awesome

[@lastzoltar]

Hi Joe, Bad ass cover man!!! You guys did play it very, very well. Nice video editing and images. Stay heavy, Zoltar

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks - I know they both played the solos spot on. They make it look so easy. I'm sure its not as easy as it looks.Hope all is well with you and the family. Thanks for stopping by.

[@leandro4552]

Woah dude!! Awesome job!! Nice cover, and the videoclip! And you are really playing the instruments. I enjoyed

[@justsingit72]

Let me be the first to comment! Heart Thumping High Energy! And the background entertainment is hot, too. Got to dry off! Congrats you guys! Len

[@Sasquatch9815]

Great cover man. Loved the mix. All was great.

[@63kavon]

just discovered your channel and I don't pay attention to the advice-givers, especially since I'm sure they are not as good as you guys. It doesn't matter if you guys don't have the identical effects or amp setup (I don't know if you do and I don't care if you do) some people think they know everything and are way too critical. It's rock and roll and you are keeping it alive. I love it.

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks Kevin. We just do what we can. It's you tube

[@PorkChop1956]

Slick job fellas. Killer playing & Nice edits on video.

[@TheDrumChannel]

I thought all these guys were spot on. Thanks so much

[@muxux4]

You don't miss a beat! You could take on Ian Paice anytime! Congratulations Joe!! You are the best! (The organ player is good too)

[@jockaud]

Excellent - definitely awesome - kick it into high gear and floor it - pick up the hot babes and crank it up!!!

[@RKNELIAS]

woah.... Great.

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks for stopping by. Much appreciated

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thans for watching it and leaving a comment. We all appreciate that

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks Steve - but I still got a lot of catching up to do when it comes to video editing. I've seen yours and they all look so good. Good footage is the key and planning which I do none of! Thanks for watching and the nice compliment. Sadly I'm suffering from 2 frozen shoulders and its hard to play like this any more. But I'm getting better!! On a mission!! Thanks again

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks

[@Multiacman]

Thanks for drawing this to my attention! Awesome playing from all; I would just suggest (constructively, as a guitarist!) that less distortion on the guitar solo would allow it to cut through better; remember Ritchie used a Strat through an AC30 for recording this, with exeptional cut and clarity. A difficult number to cover, but you nailed it!

[@TheDrumChannel]

Wow so glad you liked it Thanks

[@chessdude67]

I had to go back and pause at the 2 minute mark! :)

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks We all appreciate it

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks Dan I'm so glad you liked it.

[@TheDrumChannel]

[@TheDrumChannel]

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks - glad you liked it

[@TheDrumChannel]

I'm glad you liked it - Thanks

[@MrJohnECanuck]

Great cover! Here's your next challenge. Try the hardest band to cover, RUSH!

[@TheDrumChannel]

Your welcome - glad you like it.

[@ascetik]

fuckin awesome cover, good job!

[@Cast412]

Hey Joe, Hope things are doing well! I had my back up drive crash. I was hoping you might have a copy of my Hammond for Hwy Str.. If by chance you do, could you send it to me..

[@TheDrumChannel]

I think I have it. I'll look for it tomorrow

[@Cast412]

TheDrumChannel Thanks Joe, No hurry, do you still have my email address?

[@TheDrumChannel]

+David B I may not. I have to look. send it again. I have the files

[@ThereIsYourDagger]

Sweet fucking cover.

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks but I'm not a guitar player but I was the one who mixed it. i still think they both nailed it as well. Next time I'll crank him up a little louder Thanks

[@CrystalResonator]

Not a bad cover from a pretty cool band but the vocalist kills it for me...... 9 outa 10 for the band tho ! :)

[@Beerchasers]

It's not heavy but it was still awesome in its day....consider "Never Been Any Reason" - Head East.

[@notherbuschlight]

Hey, this is cool thanks for hooking me up. Email me anytime you've got hip and heavy stuff. Thanks.

[@robertblackmon1]

No, that would be Simon Phillips.

[@TheDrumChannel]

OK I will - please subscribe

[@TheDrumChannel]

I think we got YYZ on this channel - Check it out

[@ashleybagg6442]

Nice try.... But a 40 year old male from the Philippines can sing that. No offense though

[@TheDrumChannel]

Thanks so much
