[@ooomeinereinerooo]

Tunnel of love. Great song from one of the greatest bands. I love it.

Call me basic but Sultans of Swing is definitely a top 100 all time song all genres included. Probably top 20.

For some reason I felt in my gut before he started playing that he’d go for Dire Straits. Granted I was expecting Sultans, but something told me he’d go down that route. I salute you sir for being the epic performer you are 🫡

[@nosrellom]

In my brain (as not a drummer) Sultans has always been a highlight for the guitar voices. Especially in the live extended versions, the live riffing has been so incredible and is what is most known. Though if I'm recalling correctly there is a very famous recording where David Withers goes wild for a performance of Sultans because his parents were in the crowd.

[@P0L_03]

I didn't think about any song in particular, but I also had the gut feeling that it would be a Dire Straits song

[@comedyplanofficalTM]

Sometimes people forget a groove is better than complexity :p

[@himanshud6358]

[@floyddominique3731]

It is very complex tho, some might call that progressive drumming, as multiple changes like that are used in lots of progressive rock drummer like mike portnoy from dream theatre to name one. Although he alrdy replaced by mike mangini, which are also an insane drummer

[@pippip9927]

Honestly the way you bring dire straits music to showcase just makes my day. Very few people in our generation even know these guys existed. When you did the intro to money for nothing I could feel goosebumps. Keep up the great work Estepario!

[@massimilianodillich]

Esattamente 🇮🇹🇮🇹. Pick Withers e’ stato fino a lover over gold (album) un genio unico il vero sound @dire straits gli altri batteristi dovevano essere piu’ forti di lui , ma non era possibile trovare l’evoluzione di Pick

[@ceimo856]

⁠@@massimilianodillich That is correct Sir. Pick was a Rock & Jazz drummer which made his playing very unique.

[@Munchopen]

OMG goose bumps!!! I almost cried there. I played this record so many times when I started learning drums and could never get that part sound like it should. This is by far one of my favorite parts of Tunnel Of Love!!

[@izzyfontaine]

such a deep level of respect for not only being the freshest drummer but also such a tasteful musician and listener

[@BloodPaladin88]

I absolutely DID NOT expect Tunnel of Love. That whole album was the very first rock album I heard when I was a child, I played it over and over again. That song in specific is one of my favorites to this day.

Same here 👍🏻

[@lulospawn]

Same. Great MK and DS fan here and this just blew my freaking mind. I'd love to hear him explain why

Applause and Respect!!! My son is a drummer and can play the fast/dual bass stuff, but he's addicted to Steward Copeland. He played "Walking on the Moon" non-stop for months until he got the syncopation perfect. Tunnel of Love is definitely a great song.

How can you not like Dire Straits though let's be honest

[@mikehansen9898]

Most of the greatest metal drummers all have a groovy, or funky beat that's their favorite.

[@davidmedeiros8998]

Some of the best drummers are groovy/funky drummers. People who feel the beat instead of making their drums feel the beating.

[@mikehansen9898]

@@davidmedeiros8998 well said.

[@Joshplaysguitar69]

Dave grohl is an example of this

[@mapexzildjian6361]

You're right. I ended up playing for a few metal bands because they heard me jamming down the hall at the music studio. They said they liked it better because it was different. I never played the beat they expected to hear. I added double bass a couple of decades ago and started learning rudiments with my feet

[@mohdfazrulidham9420]

[@alexandersfakis6256]

Dude, I love this fucking song. So much, this breakdown especially gives me all the juice in the world. I jokingly tell my friends this breakdown just gives me all the animus. I am so, so happy to see other people who get the same juice from it. Thanks dude.

[@NotMarkKnopfler]

Pick Withers was a hell of a player. For anyone that is wondering... The track is Tunnel of Love by Dire Straits from the album Making Movies (1980).

[@txemapalos6363]

Alchemy live, excuse me?

[@jimbosaul3996]

the famous and ultra talented Mr Pick Withers. so loved his drumming. finesse, style, rhythmic but subtle and subdued a lot. underplayed it with feel, never overdid it.

[@Sacred_Silence]

That solo has soul, it doesn't have to be crazy, just has to be felt.

[@matthewsecord7641]

Great call. Groove matters a lot more than folk think. Listen impessive speed and complexity is absolutley great...but syncopation with the SONG is probably the most important element.
