Always liked this LS song. I listened to it for a bit and then practiced for about 2 hours and this is what I came up with. It isn't perfect but I think it's a good start. This video is intended for the purposes of education, critiquing and comparison.

Sep 9, 2010 - Good stuff! I get a kick out of watching/listening to the younger guys trying to get just a little too busy, sometimes you just gotta keep it simple.

Sep 9, 2010 - Good stuff!! Nice clean and simple.
readyeddy101 Says:
Sep 9, 2010 - @jackdtravers1 Thanks !! Yeah...there are parts to the song that don't have much going on drum wise but that is because it is the guitarists' turn to shine. Thanks for checking it out !!! Nick

Oct 19, 2010 - is that a pearl ??
readyeddy101 Says:
Oct 19, 2010 - @3U4NC4MPB311 No...actually it is a lower end Rogers set. I have 3 other kits that are higher quality. I leave this one out because my sons jam with there friends and I let them use it.

The more anyone practices, listens to recordings and plays the better they will get........Keep rocking my friend !!....Nick

Jan 8, 2011 - I played the drums in my younger days, wished I had kept it up. Maybe I would be has good as this guy. Fantastic enjoyed it. Thanks

Jan 8, 2011 - @frankforest Thank you for watching and your very kind words. It's never too late to get back into it. I got away from drumming when raising a family and started back about 4 yrs ago. It's kind of like riding a bike. You don't forget and just have to wipe the cobwebs away. Maybe you can start playing again. If for nothing more it is a great hobby.....Thanks....Nick

Aug 9, 2011 - Good cover broski, you can tell that you're a great drummer but, come on man, get excited you're a tad bit boring to watch, but just a little, you're still an amazing drummer
readyeddy101 Says:
Aug 11, 2011 - @JimmyDeanBreakfast95 Thanks for checking the vid out and your comments...Yeah...I'm not Mr Exciyement on the drums....in fact my the first time my younger daughter saw me play out she said that I should smile and that I looked mad....oh well.....it's just me....but point well taken....I think I am just concentrating so much I neglect alot of showmanship...something I know I can work on...... I'll make it up with my smiley face :-)) he, he he

Sep 5, 2010 - @conconsatnav Thanks so much for watching, commenting & the kind words. Maybe Bobby Burns had Rickey Medlocke helping him out in the studio with the crash cymbals. But it would make more sense to dub it in. If BB did it all without dubing then hats off to him. I think with enough practice it could possibly be done. I didn't pick the fills apart (yet) so I did the best I could to keep the song flowing. I will improve on those parts with more listening/practice. Thanks again !!
