Excellent Jim! Very cool version of this tune and I love the creative interplay of the original video! Great touch and feel around the drum kit with several very tasty nuance’s on the snare, toms and cymbals. Drum sound is perfect!! This tune appears to be right in your wheelhouse! Keep up the great work!! 👍👍👍🥁🥁🥁⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks, Bob. I really had to work this tune over time to get this kind of feel together. It is a think that cannot be brutalized. It is a pretty light feel. I really appreciate the comments and for hanging in there for the 11 minutes. A long one, I know.

You're hanging out with the heavyweights and totally succeeding!! Beautiful playing! Scintillating cymbals, delightful drums...

Perfect way to cap off a Saturday night bud. Thanks!😊

So glad you watched. Thank you!

Mr.jimflys2, you soared into the stratosphere with this jazzy piece of top shelf drumming. Both you and the Hammer led off my listening pleasure with far different approaches than what is the norm. Being a lover of more of a rock genre, it certainly is fun to able in other genres of the music world. This was so well done and fun to watch/listen to. What a contrast to your Power Station performance of Bang Gong Get it On!!!❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️

Thanks for the amazing comments! I love doing everything. Rocking out, bringing it more artistic and light.....it's the contrast of my personality, I suppose. Man of many hats. Thanks for appreciating it all!

@@jimflys2 Thank you, Mr.jimflys2, for being there for me to enjoy.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

That was amazing Jim! You really nailed this one! I tried the studio version a few years ago and scraped the song! This is really hard to make the groove feel right! You really were in the zone brother! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 great work! The drums and cymbals sound exceptional! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jimflys2]

Thank you so much. That really means a lot to me, Earl! I've been fortunate to have played this with a group a few times. This is a difficult song. Feel and touch are really the key on it. And primarily the BD on 2 and 4 until the solis finally put it into a more funk and fusion groove later. That takes a lot of discipline. Peter set a standard for sure! What a touch.

Putting the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLAble makes for fun meter play.

[@jimflys2]

Yes! Getting comfortable with this groove has taken a while. Wait for another I am working on. Actual meter changes. Fun, but boy, is it pushing me.
