[@ziggy979]

As a drummer, I know how hard this is to play. Cozy is dead on time, not a glitch of off time. When he breaks into the double bass it is again dead on. And then it stops. There is a lot more than people realize that goes into this work of art. It is one thing to play a beat. This is at a much more evolved level, like telling a story , musically with a percussive set of tools. So damn tight yet he plays it loose,if that makes sense to my fellow drummers. Z

[@AlexAlexon3897]

I think Cozy started that particular rhythm, with the live version from '76 reaching a big audience in '77. Rainbow reused it for Spotlight Kid in '81; Gillan with Secret of the Dance and Unchain Your Brain; Whitesnake with the live Take Me With You; and Gary Moore for Blinder. Practically every thrash band used it after Motorhead had a big hit with Ace of Spades. Talk about influential!

Cozy Powell was auditioned by Ritchie Blackmore november 1975 and had the task to play 15 minutes alone non-stop with perfect timing and he did it and got the job. Some twelve professional american drummers right before weren't able to do that. This was the first step on the way to Stargazer and Catch The Rainbow/Live.

Tony Carey recalled that it was Ritchie's typical way of auditioning drummers by playing fast shuffle for half an hour until they couldn't keep up with him. It wasn't any problem for Cozy and he got the job after 20 minutes, according to Colin Hart.

[@MeAndTheBoys_]

Cozy's playing and sense of rhythm was like atomic clock, absolutely solid. The tempo never slows down or speeds up. How many drummers can you say that about, especially when everyone is now on a fuckin grid.

[@scottstedeford7575]

Have listened and practiced to this song beyond count, but just noticed for the first time the slight phaser on the drums. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing the isolated drum tracks.

[@mattiasorre1718]

Also, he had a punchy, tight bottom end, which is part of why he sounds tight and snappy for that era I think

[@scottstedeford7575]

@@mattiasorre1718 There’s a rough mix version of the entire Long Live R & R album on KZbin worth checking out. It’s all low end. Then Martin Birch did his thing on the remix, and the difference is astounding - razor sharp, punchy, right in your face.

[@KiwiExpressCream]

I pretty sure the phasing effect is just an audio artefact from the way the drums were extracted from the finished song - extraction software is good but it's not perfect.

[@scottstedeford7575]

@@KiwiExpressCream That as my first thought. So I listened to the full track. It’s very subtle, but apparent, particularly on the cymbals. Sounds like Martin Birch used two tape machines just slightly out of sync. Take a listen to the full track and tell me what you think.

[@KiwiExpressCream]

@@scottstedeford7575 I had a good listen to my original copy and if there is any phasing, it is very subtle indeed. I don't imagine it was intentional but perhaps a natural phasing caused by two or more overhead mics being very slightly out of phase - after all, with the number of crash cymbals Cozy used, they're all going to be different distances away from each overhead mic and will be naturally out of phase. A bit like using two mics on a guitar cab, they have to be the same distance from the cone or you'll get phasing issues, so much the same I would think. Still, maybe you're right, I'd be interested to know.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

People need to take a closer look at cozies custom made sticks , I use 2b and 5b , I've had the privilege of holding a pair used by cozy , they were what I can only describe as " cricket stumps" I'm not exaggerating in any way , the amount of cymbals he must have split must be in the 100s , I'd love to know if the sticks he used were available to buy when he started learning to play .

Osvaldo, my question may be stupid, but how on earth did you do that? I mean "isolate" the drum track? I know Kill the King by heart. I'm a hobby drummer myself and have studied the drum track a lot, so I know this is actually the original Kill the King drum track, played by Cozy and not a replay cover by anyone else. Did you use special software for this work? However you did it, I really appreciate your work. It's a dream come true for me to hear the isolated drum track of my absolute favorite song.
