Awesome, Densmore was quite an underrated drummer, and Krieger is an underrated guitar player, their styles were very unique and unorthodox.

[@RedeyePerc]

My parents were hippies, so I've always liked the Doors and their contemporaries, but I never realized how good Densmore was or how fun his parts were until I covered a bunch of Doors tunes all in a row. Very interesting stuff.

[@Juancho-2024]

aqui vemos el gran talento en la bateria de john densmore con the doors. baterista totalmente subestimado y nunca figura entre los mejores 15 de la historia, injusticia total. excelente cover. saludos

[@killyrisin]

muy cierto

[@westernsellers9148]

Jazz elements on this song. I love playing this on my air drum set. You did a great job Sir.

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks! That's much appreciated.

[@marisolmanzano2041]

As a huge Doors fan .. love this!! This song is really special ,unique and I think in part is the drumming ...

[@scoobydoo4087]

What great musical drumming

[@RedeyePerc]

Scooby Doo Thanks! I appreciate that.

[@superdrybonesbros4680]

Yes yes yes !!! Done perfectly in my opinion ! Always been one of my favorite Doors songs. I've been listening to music all my life and from what I hear with my own ears, The Doors truly opened doors to the sound and changed music forever the way Michael Jordan and the Bulls did for basketball !

[@RedeyePerc]

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words.

[@tedalford4384]

Learning this song is so much easier after seeing this cover. Great work! Thank you!

[@RedeyePerc]

Great! That's exactly my goal. Thanks for watching.

[@claudia01514]

Amazing cover 👏🏻 congratulations!!!

[@RedeyePerc]

Claudia RM Thanks!

[@pacoglzh]

Yours is the best drum cover of this song, the others drummers tend to play it loud and more "rock like", your finesse is what this song uses. Congrats!

[@bellsy4821]

sooo good!!!! thank you. this is really inspiring

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks! That’s much appreciated.

[@chrismarelli3925]

[@attilabalogh1212]

AWESOME!!!!

[@ConstantineIsslamow]

OUTSTANDING quality with your audio mix. Enjoyed your drum cover. Very easy to follow along. Nicely played. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@RedeyePerc]

+Constantine Isslamow - I really appreciate the kind words! My goal is to make these easy to follow and copy, so it sounds like I did well with this one.

[@darinwood2183]

I just watched Rick Beato break this song down on his channel, check it out, and I wanted to hear a drum cover of it. Yeah, I'm a drummer too. Great job. It was Stronger Than Dirt!

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks. I love Beato’s channel. Take care.

[@sl1nker633]

I am a big fan of your playing and I have to say I didn't realize how busy the drums are for this song.

[@victor70167]

Great perfomance ..

[@RedeyePerc]

Thank you!

[@brookesmith1819]

You never cease to amaze 👍

[@RedeyePerc]

+Brooke Smith - Thanks Brooke! I found an old Door drum transcription book and have about 5 more planned.

[@brookesmith1819]

Can't wait!

[@saulcobcanul1166]

[@maltipoomadness8807]

Thanks RedEye, been using a few of your videos for getting songs down. Much appreciated 👍

[@RedeyePerc]

Leyland Murphy Thanks for watching! I’m glad they have helped.

[@Cjzdrums]

nailed it, nice

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks! I did a bunch of Doors all at once, so it was easy to get into them.

[@racioempiristadigital2146]

[@christinatylercrater6231]

Kick ass helped me understand playing it a different story 😢

[@rutikuiwa8427]

Very nice and symphatic videos u make! Im old drummer too, but didnt play many many years. I have still old Yamaha drums, late 70s. Birch and mahogany. Colour silky red. Keep rocking and make more good viedos! Thank you very much. :D

[@RedeyePerc]

+Ruti Kuiwa - Thanks for watching! I too had an old Yamaha birch 70s kit for a while in teal but I sold it. I have many more videos coming, including a few more Doors songs. Take care.

[@rutikuiwa8427]

+Redeye Percussion ur welcome

[@ritamairedaley635]

Nice ! Thank you

[@rhythmantic]

Great cover. I covered this song and I don't think I covered exactly like John drummed it. Could have probably used your chart.

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks! To be honest, my charts are always very accurate, but I don't always play everything on the page. Sometimes it's too hard, and sometimes I just miss something but it's not so bad, so I leave it in the video.

[@rhythmantic]

Anyway, I got to use your chart as a guide for Light My Fire for my cover of that tune and provided the link to your website in the video Description. Thanks so much for creating these charts.

[@RedeyePerc]

Great! I am always glad when I get confirmation that a video and transcription has actually helped someone. I never know for sure otherwise. Take care.

[@bigbreadeaterellis]

This is one of the best covers i have heard. I did a cover about 6 years ago but it didn't sound as good as yours. What brand are your cymbals? They are very bright and responsive Mine are rubbish despite being paiste and zildjan and meinl. I can't afford the better quality ones like yours. How long have you been drumming? And are you in a band?

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks for the interest! My cymbals are from Saluda (small company in South Carolina). He priced below the major companies and will give you personal attention. I highly recommend them. I have been playing for 30 years (ages 12-42). I am in a band called Outspoken. You can see some of our covers here on my channel. Take care!

[@ticklebellysquad1100]

Yours is great I'm not giving a bad review

[@kometamariio5272]

¿dónde puedo conseguir las partituras?

[@ivanreyes78]

Awrsome!!! Where did you get the tabs?

[@RedeyePerc]

I transcribe all of these songs myself. You can download any of them for free at www.redeyepercussion.com. Click on "Sheet Music & Cover Videos" in the top menu. Thanks!

[@ticklebellysquad1100]

Brandon Pertzborn has this same cover on his drums, yours is cleaner but his is more natural, playing more from the heart...don't mind me lol I'm just a clarinet player who knows nothing hahaha

[@j-a9311]

Somehow BP takes too much space. Drums should not take the lead, especially on a song like this. That was a fun try, but I think the drumming here is more forcused.

[@RedeyePerc]

The purpose of my channel is to show others how they can play these songs live, not to show off my skills, so I try to stay with the original parts as much as possible. Thanks for watching!

[@emmadrumer1988]

jajaja my god is perfect.
