The Allman Brothers - Whipping Post drum cover by Steve Tocco

[@campbellvonjordan68]

Thank you for this. My band is covering this and I couldn’t figure out the groove for the life of me

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

I'm glad I could help you out. Have a great time playing the song with your band!!!!

[@ToomasLubja]

[@michaelloconti5511]

Second that!

[@Chestnuts08]

Best cover on KZbin. Great job, I used this to learn the song. Thanks

[@signalsTedBroughey]

My instructor Alan Dawson always said you should always be "tight but loose" when you play this kind of material. I've heard this song all my life but never physically played it BUT I WILL MONDAY night. Thanks for taking the mystery out of it and playing it brilliantly straight and relaxed. I've gotten to know the song very well the last two nights and I'm ready for Monday. Just goes to show a 62-year-old rock drummer can still kick it. Thanks, Steve.

[@chefafischer]

Perfect beat two cover both drum parts. Bravo !!

[@MarkOnDrums1976]

I enjoyed listening to Butch Trucks explain how he plays this, but actually got more from your version. The camera angle was a big factor in that. I believe his was overhead.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!!!

[@SteveBMarksJr]

Good god, that was badass.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!!!

[@BlindManifest]

No one covers this right including myself. The time signatures are so odd and vary throughout the arrangement. This is probably the best I have ever heard this covered. Very nice.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!!

[@shawnw401]

Nice job!! That was the one song that i couldn't ever play right growing up any cover band i played in I hoped they never play it in their set LOL

[@robertdegnan1171]

Great job brother

[@pauljordan4452]

I, my father and grandpa all loved ABB. So I'm playing this on my bodhran.

[@christopherh6572]

Man I just learned so much by watching this. Thanks!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Glad I helped you learn this great song!!!

[@225rip]

Awesome job!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!!

[@michaelloconti5511]

Murdered it. Your accents are awesome

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!!!!

[@coonpoon1]

Steve, you are right in the pocket brother! and your left foot is keeping time better than a Rolex! Plus- your fills at 4:11 is awesome too.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

LOL! Thank you for your enthusiastic support. I cracked up when I read your Rolex comparison. I wish it were true!!!! Take care.

[@jimphayre]

Just saw this. You really are a good drummer! Great left hand to accompany the time signature requirements...

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!

[@biddulph1965]

Thank you for posting this. You make this track look easy, and I know it's not. Good work.

[@sbalak]

Awesome! The best I have heard. You have amazing restraint, discipline and talent! Congrats!!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

[@Robindalmiras]

Great song! Great band! Awesome job Steve!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!!!!

[@TSTatum]

Steve found you a couple days ago your so spot on, tried to find you playing (Cheap Sunglasses) I play it on KZbin would really like to see how to play it correct, you are so relaxed anyway like to see your version. Thanks

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you for you kind support. Cheap Sunglasses is a great suggestion. I love that song!! I'll get to it one day. Take care!!

[@geemann3760]

Didn't even break a sweat. Excellent.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

HA! Thank you. Just to be clear, I always sweat when I play my drums!

[@e4dragongunner]

Great Job Brother!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Holy shit you nailed this!

[@MikeBixby]

Thanks for posting.. stealing a few ideas. Played this covering both drum parts since 1973ish. Never thought to play the 11/8 section just straight waltz style on snare. Always swung the snare backbeat just like the 12/8 sections. Gonna try that

[@Sms68]

Nice Sound. Those K’s are the Best sounding Cymbals. Great Job.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you! Yes, I love all my K's. They are fantastic!!!

[@zbluescale]

Hi. I just stumbled across your drum covers, and wanted to say I really enjoy them. Awesome drumming.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

+zbluescale Thank you for watching, subscribing and commenting!!! It's been a fun hobby posting all these drum covers the past year or so.

[@phillipzx3754]

Excellent job, Steve.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

[@patcronin283]

[@thexdude]

[@NinjaChop1]

great cover! thanks

[@jimit6398]

The band wants to do Whipping Post. Difficult piece for many drummers of which I am one! I’ll be referring to this video often. Thanks

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Glad I am able to help you and your band!!!

[@ToomasLubja]

Nice footwork!

[@mamyers171958]

Great cover. Feel, dynamics and sound. What's this secret ride under the Zildjian-K

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank youj!! The secret ride (LOL!) is a 22" Zildjian K Constantinople--it's signed by Keith Carlock too!!! If you don't know him, look him up. He's a world class drummer.

[@mitchmorrison1086]

Top Shelf work Bro.

[@denlatham1561]

Steve is crazy good

[@revted2010]

I love your groove. but I cant figure the beat you are doing, is there a pattern I can find on music that you have or any other advise to learn it. Thanks

[@WoodenMinds]

Ted Ayers kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3-qgqial7JmhbM Butch does a great job explaining on layman's terms about dynamics, expression, the 12/8 verse, the 6/8, and his new (at the time) revised take on it. It's helpful...

[@usernameinvalid2675]

Vocal chorus is 6/8 Jam part is 11/8 and you have to feel out alot of it

[@fdrums60]

Great job, on a not so easy tune to play.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!

[@guto.cavalcante]

Hi, my name is Guto and I'm from Brazil, your KZbin videos are wonderful! Could you do a drum cover of the song Black Started Woman by The Allman Brothers?

[@panurge987]

I like the way you play - very relaxed, but on the money.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

+panurge987 Thank you!! I'm still working on playing with a more relaxed feel. It's going to take the rest of my life to do it right.

[@laurannpelletier]

Bravo
