DRUM COVER - Glamour Profession by Steely Dan

[@jacobjmbrewer6039]

Hanging out in that dynamic range and keeping that pocket for 7 straight minutes is like running a marathon. Absolutely brilliant. Subscribed.

Thank you!

[@earldrum]

Solid pocket! It’s just enough and not too much drumming! It’s hard to sit in it just groove! Great playing Tate!

[@jazz4asahel]

This video is exactly what I needed as a beginner working on this tune for time-keeping. This video truly helps. Thank you Tate for sharing.

[@tate_berkey]

Glad my video could help! Happy practicing!

[@ceddyharris6340]

That is actually harder than it looks. The first time I tried, I was surprised how hard it is to get that hi-hat lift to match up with my kick just right.

[@tate_berkey]

Yep! And this drum part was one of the many during this era that was altered by the Wendel drum machine. I always have to remind myself that when I can’t seem to match it! Lol

Well done....hoping to see your work in Williamsport!

Superbly, masterfully executed Mr. Tate ;^) ♪ And the recordings + the mix are quite a symbiosis. ♪ Glamour Profession was my first SteelyDan tutorial in 2019, (now at forty), the groove is so infectious, that's what started all for me.♪ Peace + massive respect, sir. ;^) ♪ .

Great cover of this hidden gem from one of my favourite albums of all time!

[@tate_berkey]

Appreciate it!

[@borysandreyev9717]

Super!

[@thetonetosser]

Think you've perfectly illustrated here Tate how brilliant Gadd really is.

[@tate_berkey]

Thanks!

[@ttommyschannel1149]

Hey Tate, very nice work my friend! I appreciate your sharing your skill with us. You are helping me to understand some Steely Dan licks that I couldn't quite pick out. I really appreciate it. Kind Regards, Tom Pollock

[@tate_berkey]

Thanks Tom! Glad you're enjoying my videos!

Thanks!

[@microheavy21]

Brilliant ! Love the roll fills, ripped it off several times. Great live Tate, you made the right choice.

[@tate_berkey]

Thanks Shorty!

[@Tiresias1992]

Great work on a great piece of music! As far as I know, the original drum track consists of recorded samples of Gadd's kick, snare and hi-hat, "played" by Wendel the machine. The fills were played by Gadd, recorded apart and then overdubbed onto the Wendel basic track.

[@tate_berkey]

You would be correct on that one! I've done a bunch of research and found a bunch of interviews on the subject of this album and how it was made. Fascinating stuff!

[@PlayLikeTheGreatscom]

Super solid! *One question:* On the final mix, I hear kick drum on all 4 beats. But on the "5.1 (Center Channel)" stem, I hear it only on beats 1 and 3. What is your take on this?

[@tate_berkey]

I never heard/knew there was a difference. I'll have to go back and check it out again...

[@bezerkerkrankenhaus7769]

Great stuff the real drum sound makes the song sound much better than that tinny synthetic dated 1980’s drum machine sound on the album.

[@ndhudecz]

Not a hard song to play but,you make the hard songs look easy...
