One of my favorite HTM songs played masterfully

[@chuckpadgettmusic]

Such a fun song to play on drums. I’m primarily a guitar player but I made a point on learning all the parts on this particular song because I love it so much. The last band I was in, I played the track to the other guys and suggested we try playing it. The keyboard player said “That sounds pretty tough” so I jumped on his keyboard and played the clavinet riff and he said “Ah.” The next week, he came in and said “Hey Chuck, check it out,” and he was playing the riff. Then the drummer said “I dunno, that drum part sounds really complex” so I jumped on his kit and said “Here’s how I play it.” He said “Huh.” The next week he came in and said “Hey Chuck, check it put,” and he was playing the drums for it. The bass part is low key enough to where it didn’t take any arm-twisting so we attempted the song during that practice session amd it was fantastic. We wound up starting every practice off with it after that. I did the secondary keyboard parts on guitar and figured out how to play the harmony leads by myself so we were able to do a respectable rendition as a four piece. All it took was a little “If HE can do it, so can I” pride manipulation from a sneaky guitarist. 😄
