Rich Redmond tracks Jason Aldean's "Flyover States"

[@TyAndras]

When Rich changed the production of the intro to full groove, he made this song a number #1 hit.

[@ivywoodxrecords]

He knew it too.

[@airborneassasin]

And he gets paid to do it.. How amazing it is. Been busting my hump for 38 years and I still learn from this guy .. Incredible tempo

His drumming is so addictive to listen to. I wish more people would take his approach to drumming. Less is definitely more.

Rich is the best drummer in country

[@Rocksolidhandyman]

Damn this gave me the chills!!! 🥁🤘🔥🙌

[@billbobaggins801]

I'd love to here Paiste 2002s being played. I enjoyed your passion and I see my love as you play. It was a dream of mine as a little boy to play as a professional. I'm a great drummer and can play with the best of them, but my mom wanted me to be a biologist so it's what I did. There isn't a day or song that goes by that I don't think of that long blond headed boy playing in all those bands I played in and clubs. But........its the dream that I always haunts me that I could have done it. A dream...A dream... that I wanted but never got to finish. I envy you so much....if only I had it to do over again. Enjoy your love, and playing. Great song and video!!

[@campbellmarty36]

[@ijamhxc4him09]

his ride sounds amazing...i wanna get that cymbal

[@bryaneppsmusic]

Really dig your videos man! I am a huge Aldean fan, and I have to say I have never paid much attention to many drummers in bands that I am a fan of, but the energy and style that you put into it is incredible man. I first seen you on the wide open live dvd, which, by the way, was recorded in east tennessee where I'm from. If I ever get a band going, I will have to show your videos to the drummer and say, "See this guy, be this guy". I seen you guys in Knoxville on the burn it down tour and it kicked ass. Hope to see you guys again soon! Keep rockin' brother!

[@gregwhobrey5172]

[@yeosch25i]

Great sound

[@lrizo3841]

Love this

[@bobhobo34772]

The intro of the final song is one of the coolest I've heard. I can't believe it just took a recommendation from Rich to change it that quick.

[@uback007]

this track is the epitome of extremely fat and soulful drumming. I heard this track over the summer while in Nashville and I was floored by how simple yet effective Rich's drumming is on it. The fact that he chronicled laying it down is very cool indeed. Less is more, folks. Basic snare and kick... lays back where needed and creates a ton of emotion in the process. Awesome- Thanks Rich for enlightening us! Hope to run into you at NAMM Anaheim :-)

[@garberwarren]

Are you listening to a click? What is coming through your monitors?

[@runningman5106]

My guess is he's listening/playing to a 'click' at 1/8note = 163 and likely a mix of himself and the other musicians - cheers

[@juanmurillo1000]

I've seen you perform a couple of times and bro you rock!!

[@flossum35]

Love this song...Thanks for doing this so I can see how to play it. :) Do you always have the ride cymbal up that high?? Just wondering... can you do ... When She Says Baby?? :) (My fav song right now)... You are AWESOME!!!

[@BoyfromBladenCounty]

[@simonjacksonmbemusic]

[@ninnagamble1602]

nice beat on snare and bass

[@SuperCMusic]

you killed it on the grammys

[@hoourdaddy4388]

Nice work man

[@ninnagamble1602]

nice work man

[@davidcurtis4478]

LOL "And they were all yellow" - got that (Coldplay) haha. Cool recording Rich! DC

[@brianearlhaines]

excuse my ignorance but I am confused as to why I hear not only Aldean singing but with harmonies and a slide solo. Wouldn't those things be added AFTER the base track was laid? Was that added later for this video so people could tell easier what they where listening to?

[@jpinhoaraujo]

Dude your name came all the way to PORTUGAL. Watched the videos from DW and thought you have a great style. Love your playing. Nice work!

[@NeverOctober_]

was this the final drum tracking session that is on the song?

[@ninnagamble1602]

nice beat

[@duckmanco04]

Seen/heard a lot recording sessions lately where it seems there is a shift back to recording live rather than separate tracks. I like it, but any reason why it seems to be more popular as of late?

[@mikeghazaleh4971]

Love it Rich! Which Sabian Ride are you playing in this?

[@dominic8129]

In the pocket

[@charlespeacock7898]

Hey Rich, do you have the notes for this song or know where I could find them? The tabs would work aswell.

[@richredmond]

at my website store: ww.richredmond.com

[@somrahprincess1]

@kevin buchanan i agree

[@SONORSQ2guy]

Those 2 crashes sound wonderful. Which Sabian's are they?

[@ninnagamble1602]

neat snare

[@TouchoftheBrushModelWeathering]

awesome job Rich! really cool! stuff! Are you using a DW set now for recording or your original company?

[@nealfeeley1]

Hey Rich what kind of camera do you use for these recordings?

[@richredmond]

GoPro :0
