Right Down The Line - Gerry Rafferty (Drum Cover)

Well, I have no idea why the description disappeared today! That’s two days in a row? I had to recreate this one! My video start from a template …. There is always a description and copyright statement! So I have no idea what’s Wow, iPad editing is a problem today in KZbin Studio! I lost my first rant before finishing! Fat fingers, app stupidity, who knows. I spent more time on this description than playing this stupid song! 😂😂😂😂
This was done in one take, no rehearsal, no edits, nothing here but drum groove! You all can play this one! It’s a boring drum cover … I expect you to watch 21 seconds and drop off by the latest 1:21. But if you want my reaction to this song wait until the end! I’m hitting save now!

I remember this one and liked it from the first time I heard it. You know, a song without toms isn’t really a song, but your Earlism made up for it. Sometimes less is truly more.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@earldrum]

That’s correct Greg! Less is more sometimes! Making music is about playing the right drum parts! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤘🏻😎👍🏻🥁

[@MikeConwayDrums]

Hahaaaa! Well I have to admit I skipped ahead to the ending, which was freakin hilarious!!! Your face!!!😂😂😂😂

[@earldrum]

You made it past the 1:41 avg view time! Mike I got to the end of this song and thought what a waste of time! There is nothing interesting about this song! That’s the ones people love to watch! 😂😂😂😂 Like today’s favorite tape drum loop! You were waiting to see when I’d crack and go crazy! It’s didn’t happen … but only one time!

What use cases are best for the most popular Ludwig snare drums? Black Beauty, Supraphonic, Acrolite, etc.. What snare should be used in each situation for jazz, rock, blues, classical ; studio and live performance etc. Just wondered with your experience and perspective; what your point of view is.

[@earldrum]

Jack, this sounds like an Ask Earl Anything question? I have a few thoughts for next month’s show. Does that work for you?

[@JackNiles]

@@earldrum Sounds good

[@earldrum]

Great Jack!

[@AlexandersGuitarplay]

Great performance 🙂👍🔝

[@earldrum]

Many thanks Alexander! 🙏🏻🤘🏻😎

[@jametz66]

Always liked this tune Earl, nice job! Kit is really dialed in here also! No descriptions again, but sounded great! 🥁👍😎

[@earldrum]

Jeff I have no idea what’s going on! There is a description now just for you! I lost it again then it shows mashed into my last thoughts ! Check it out … it’s for you today! Thanks for the heads up! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jametz66]

@@earldrum I guess it doesn't matter, you hit nothing but bass, snare, and HH! 🤣 Your description looks good my friend! That was a cool set up w/ both splashes in there, too!

[@earldrum]

Jeff I used this setup the first weekend I got the 12” 2002 Splash! I like splash cymbals if I intend to use them! But I have to find some more songs for those splashes!

[@jametz66]

@earldrum ....the Police, Wrapped around your finger

[@earldrum]

@metzilla it’s funny you said that one … there is going to be a Police / Sting week in July. And you have to choose you cover from a list! I choose that song today, just to use my four Paiste splash cymbals! I may do a few more Police/Sting songs too! Other suggestions?

Nice work EB!!
