Hell's Bells by Bruford - Drum Cover and Transcription

[@nonconformist58]

First time I heard this song was Christmas day 1981. I asked my parents to get the album for me as a gift. I will never forget hearing it that day. You did a fantastic job!!!

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Thank you for checking out the video. The whole album is awesome!

[@musicmart7731]

I was given this record when I was 14 and just beginning on drums. I was flabbergasted .

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

It's a cool album for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@MichaelSheffield-ox8yd]

I had the same problem as a bass player. Should have stuck to Donald 'Duck' Dunn. Jeff Berlin.

[@ARGBlackCloud]

Bill Bruford always has a way of making odd time sound natural , but what gets me is his rolls are almost always an odd number !! Nice playing as always Larry !!

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

BB is one of my favs. A real innovator!

[@laurentakchote8242]

Boy ! You're doing great ! BRAVO !

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Thanks Marcus! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@dr.johnvitale2935]

Wow! This is amazing, Larry! So well done! Fantastic playing and the video production was stellar. You are a beast!

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Thank you John. BB was a big influence so I just had to pay tribute. How about that Jeff Berlin fella?

[@jimbojazza5539]

Bravo! Your one of the greatest drummers I‘ve ever seen. Your precision makes me speechless. 👍🏼 - Studio drummer?

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Thank you เวลา ว่าง

[@F21012013R]

I am listening to Bill Bruford my whole life. Solo, all the bands he did. Seen him live a few times. You did a fantastic job! Not many drummers covering Bruford. Perhaps you could do Presto Vivace from the UK album. I would love to see that. Thanks for this video.

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Hi Raymond, thank you for watching my video. This was a fun one to put together. I'm a big Bill Bruford fan and he was one of my influences. Cheers! Larry

[@tdc1216]

This is great! Excellent and precise transcription and drumming! As a drummer, I'm revisiting a lot of this music lately that I listened to when it came out. I would love to get a copy of the transcription of this. The links do not seem to work. Still possible.

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Hi Todd. Thank you for checking out my video. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the transcription is available. My website is currently getting a revamp. You can message me through the Facebook link. Cheers! LC

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Hi Fredrik! Thanks so much and greetings from Canada!!!!

[@pankajjoshi3189]

Good one Larry..... Could you please make some tutorials on how to read rythms... like semiquavers notes in combination with quaver and dotted crotchets..... I will be very thankful to you.......

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Hi Pankaj. Thanks again for your support. Sure, I'll try to put together some vids on reading rhythms asap.

[@pjlogan386]

Great job, Tom,s sound like rototoms, do you play heel down Larry.thanks for all posts epically SD.

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Thank you pj. I play mostly heel down, but I also use the heel toe and heel up techniques. It depends on the music.

[@jimmirza2940]

Excellent cover and transcription! Would I be correct in saying the main riff is 19/16 time? 1 bar of 4/4 + 3 x 16th notes?

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Hi Jim. Thank you for checking out my video. Yes, you are correct 19/16, think of a bar of 4/4 and then add 3 16th's! All the best. Larry

[@НаталиВнеФормата]

How do you count this rhythm

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Hi @natalyav3883. There is an example of how to count this time signature 19/16 as the video begins. Think of it as 4/4 with 3 sixteenth notes tagged on the end, so, 1, 2, 3, 4, 123. Or, 1e+ah, 2e+ah, 3e+ah, 4e+ah, 5e+ Ultimately, it's best to learn to hum or sing the synth melody and then play along with that in mind. I hope that helps.

@@masterfuldrumming8408 Thanks a lot

[@pobinr]

If only he'd just had allan on guitar playing all the chord work. Then he'd become part of iou

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Except that Dave Stewart wrote Hell's Bells. I loved IOU! Thanks for watching my video!

[@pobinr]

@@masterfuldrumming8408 I saw Allan play the iou material in the half moon pub in putney in 1980. There he was, a unique ground breaking genius. So different & advanced technically & musically compared to other players it was if he was from another planet of super humans. Yet I don't think it was even a full house.

[@FrenchToasted1995]

devos blockhead is somewhat interesting

[@masterfuldrumming8408]

Blockhead is a cool tune. Thank you for checking out my video French Toasted!
