Great cover...I'm learning these types of grooves on the drums and find your vids very inspirational and educational. Thanks

[@ZaxDrumsGolfandMore]

I like your take on this Shane!! Sounds great and excellently played too!!

[@raykanter3985]

Another fabulous performance/lesson. Really appreciate it. I'm so stealing it. Thank you. Great kit.

[@RedeyePerc]

The snare is a Yamaha Copper Nouveau, 14x5.5", about 2 years old. I have an Evans Genera Dry head on top and a Remo snare side Ambassador on bottom. Fat Cat snare wires. For this recording, I had a Shure Beta 52 on the kick, SM57 on the snare, and a Zoom h4n overhead.

[@NouveauNick]

That's a very nice sounding snare!

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks! It a 14x5.5 Yamaha Copper Nouveau, Evans Genera Dry top, Remo Ambassador snare side.

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks for watching! I am a huge fan of the train beat. It's fun and pretty easy to do.

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks! Two-Step/Train Beats are great fun for me to play.

[@alejandrowesson3676]

You probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last few days =)

[@dariotitan510]

@Alejandro Wesson yup, been using Instaflixxer for since december myself =)

[@judycddc]

[@theholynut8195]

Thanks for showing me :)

[@crockettcraig]

Awesome. I have that same snare 😁

[@RedeyePerc]

No matter what snare I end up using for different things, I always come back to the Copper. It's amazing.

[@THEBENNETTRAILROAD]

You make it look easy, Good Job!!

[@jaime1402]

love it

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks for watching! I am insanely busy, but I will try my best to get one done for you. Are you looking for a train beat tutorial?

[@yumikoyonemitsu3807]

thank you for putting this. you are amazing!. i am learning this beat and love it.

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully this video helped you with the train beat.

[@RedeyePerc]

Thank you!

[@tommy2x4]

well done! came here see what i'm hearing....thank you for putting this video on.

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks! My goal is to help people learn these songs, especially visual learners. For this one, I do play it way more modern than the original recording, but it works very well in a band setting. Take care.

[@vincesarmento4854]

Awesome Cover!!

[@JeromyBranch]

As all the others have said...thank you so much! Great video work, incredible drumming! The only person I have seen drum it as well is my son, and he is the best drummer I've ever played with.

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks! It must be fun having a family member to jam with.

[@RadialOvertone]

Awesome cover! 100% in the pocket

[@RedeyePerc]

+Austin Warren - Thanks! I've been playing this one for many years, so I had a good handle on it beforehand.

[@malisa12duran]

The best 🤩 👋👋👋👋👋

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks!

[@garibassx]

It's amazing! I love this song and johnny cash is my idol! I would like to do a video collaboration. If you send to me this video with drum only I will record my voice and bass. Let me know if you like my idea 🤠

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks Gabe! I'd love to do a collaboration. This video is 7 years old and my recording equipment is much better now, so I would rather just redo the drum part and make a new one. Send me an email and we can work it out. [e-mail]

[@vigilhammer]

awesome

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks!

[@dodoproductions14]

Could you do a tutorial please?

[@murilomichelassi]

Great Job! I just started learning this beat today, following your video... Can I have the Sheet for this song?

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks for watching! I have sheet music for most of my covers on my website - www.redeyepercussion.com, but not for this one. Since there is no drumming on the original song, I make this one up as I go along.

[@gabriellannon3860]

2 minutes of yes

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks! I love this tune.

[@dodoproductions14]

Yea and what are the specs of your snare drum? Sounds amazing! Oh ya and one more thing what is your recording setup?

[@alexhill_79]

the version i play is much faster, but i hadn't heard the original, good job, man!

[@gabrielottereyes7250]

Do ghosts riders in the sky lol

[@RedeyePerc]

I will put that on the todo list. Thanks for watching!

[@colinmicheller.f.c.5655]

👏👏

Who was Cashs drummer during the 50s and early 60s.

[@RedeyePerc]

W.S. Holland started playing with him in 1960. I don't think there was any regular drummer before that. The original version of this song doesn't sound like it has any drums on it, or else they are really buried in the final version.

[@lochlainnferguson3222]

FUN FACT! before Holland, there was no drummer in the early days, the back l;ine was only played by the double bass and the snare sounds was made by cash slapping a note on the side of his pants

[@rydergrimes6696]

Lochlainn Ferguson and cash sometimes used a card in his guitar and it made a drum sound

[@JeromyBranch]

@@rydergrimes6696 He folded a dollar bill between the 1st and 2nd strings and made the snare sound with the strings by strumming them on the beat. His old Martin that he used for many recordings is still sitting in Sun records studio exactly where he left it, and it still has the dollar bill in the strings. Go see it...it's awesome!

[@reeceblinman7469]

Redeye Percussion W.S Holland started with Carl Perkins, he played on The Million Dollar Quartet and Blue Suede Shoes and etc. Johnny Cash didn’t have drums until 1960, Cash used a dollar bill in his guitar strings.

[@motodrummer]

Fantastic, your right it's not a hard beat to play but it's all about feel and you nailed it. I am looking to record a few of me playing covers like this. I see where you say your using 3 mics but how did you record the sound? Is it through a mixer and then into your camera or did you record separately and then match the sound to the video? I have a zoom q3 but n there is no input jack on it so thinking of getting a different camera for this type thing

[@RedeyePerc]

I use the Zoom h4n for audio recording. The unit is above me to get an overhead blend with the on-board mics, then I mic my snare and kick and run those lines into the Zoom. Everything ends up in sync. I then line it up manually with the video part after discarding the camera audio. Zoom had the new h6 out, which I plan on getting soon. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@jeffholmes2459]

Sounds better as a 2/4 beat IMO
