Always liked this tune. I also have always appreciated Martin Chambers drumming. Very cool, stylish for their music. But anywho, I also appreciate your drumming. Great job and you got that DMR dialed in my friend. That snare is so fat and HUUUUGE. Thanks for posting.

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback D! The pretenders are a great band and Martin always played underrated but unique drum parts! That snare sounds great all time, but I like it for the LA fat snare sound of the early eighties!

Earl!!!!!!!! I absolutely adore your skillset!!!!!! You’re so unbelievably gifted,,,,, you’re a stud behind that drum kit!!!!!!!! Bravo 🙌,,,,,, very cool song choice

[@earldrum]

Great reverb tail. Very close to the original. Great work.

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Jim! I really try to mix it close to the original and gets me blocked sometimes!😎🙏🏻👍🏻🤘🏻

[@gregwonhoff7161]

I just love that driving 4 on the floor, and as usual, your drums sound so good!!!❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Greg! Yea, it’s a simple song … not complicated at all but it takes discipline to play only what’s required! Thanks for noticing!🙏🏻😎👍🏻🤘🏻🥁

Great mood enhancing music for an early morning motorcycle ride, Earl, before the sun comes up!

[@earldrum]

Thanks for listening Edward! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻👍🏻🤘🏻😎

Love it EB! Fabulous job! RIP Rush! I miss listening to him!

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Mickey … me too! The new guys are pretty terrible, especially Clay! What a wind bag! I miss my rush hour lunches!

[@aronowaughful]

Snare sounds exactly like the record! Once again, great job!

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Joel! That’s what I wanted to do get it close! Thanks! 🙏🏻😎👍🏻🤘🏻

[@RichRawDawgdrums]

Being born and raised in Ohio, this song has always resonated with me. Wow, that snare sound is killer! Solid drumming throughout and cool camera angles!

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Rich! It’s a super solid groove song! I’m glad you enjoyed the snare sound it’s @ big part of the song!

Hey Earl. Excellent! I was born in Hereford UK. We still mourn our boys. RIP Pete and James. I never met them, but I did meet Mick Ralphs. My mother owned a hotel in a small town called Bromyard, ' The Falcon ', and Micks Dad owned the bookshop across the street. I used to buy books there, and Mick used to pop into the hotel bar sometimes when he visited his Dad. 😘

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the comment and memories! The Pretenders were an awesome band that has many challenges! Martin Chambers was a great drummer!

[@senesiano]

Love that funky vibe! And the drumkit goes perfectly with the song ❤

Amazing cover man! That snare sounds incredible! Man I changed mit tom drumheads. Now I got some Evans hydraulic heads. Love how they sound. I get the difference for the sound of the batter heads. But can you tell me if there's a huge difference between the factory reso heads I still use and better ones? Probably a question for Ask Earl anything... you rock man🤘🤘🤘

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Toby and the question! Reso heads so much to say … I’ll wait for the next show coming soon! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@continumdrums2297]

Good job Earl ... awesome sound as well 👍🏻👍🏻🥁🥁

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Lutz! 🙏🏻😎👍🏻🤘🏻

[@jametz66]

Wow, that's a great take Earl! I so love that DMR 7x14, and also the clear heads on the Gretsch sound amazing here too, that kit is SUPER dialed in for this one! So, ...you're calling me out in the description now? 😆 I don't see any crumbs, ...unless the 2oo2 crash is the 16 thin, but it didn't sound like it! I can't see all of the crash over the floor tom, so I'm not sure if there are crumbs! 🥁👍😎

[@earldrum]

Just making sure you read everything Jeff! It’s good to know three people read my descriptions! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@earldrum]

@@jametz66 yes you are the only drum nerd that looks at the gear! Many ask about it, but don’t look. But I do have some that read my description for the literary content 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good morning Jimmy!

[@Mr79Man]

I miss Rush.

[@earldrum]

Me too my friend! Rush was one of kind … the new guys are pretty terrible compared to him! The one guy, Clay is such a bloviating wind bag! Rush had a funny side … even though I’m not really into the divided left / right politics these days. We really need to find the middle and listen to each other, but that’s a whole another problem!
