Got news for ya. He's no "Country" drummer. Rich studied at the infamous University of North Texas under Ed Soph, one of the finest and toughest drum teachers on the planet as did my son, Shea who also plays a lot of Country.
im a drummer, and i know there is no such thing as country drumming. every single country song you show me i can tell you, its either swing, jazz, funk, or in Rich's case, ROCK. maybe even something diffrent. but there is no country drumming. country is my favorite though!
ronnie tutt is one of the greatest "country drummers" ever to have lived. go listen to the Gram Parsons album Grievous Angel.
or, almost anything Kenny Buttrey played on. Yeah, there are a lot of other drumming styles in most country music, but there is definitely such a thing as country drumming.
@michaelthe13th Dude, you're so wise. How could I be so foolish. I forgot that, every time i play a train beat, I get the feeling that I'm on the Lawrence Welk show, except it's totally weird because it's like it's with Black Sabbath.
Maybe you should stick to covering A day to remember, and leave the real shit to the rest of us.
1 once again a train beat is swing. lmao. and yes i like a day to remember but i also like jason aldean, i like frank sinatra, i like george jones, patsy cline, hank sr, elvis, carl perkins, gene vincent. i like everything. be smart! there is country drummers. but they play rock beats, swing, shuffles, jazz funk. studdy up, bitch.
@michaelthe13th Last I checked, there was more than one way to play a train beat. Just because you can "swing" something doesn't make it a "swing" beat.
Also, please show me ANYWHERE that a train beat is used in swing, jazz, bop, big band, etc. You could find it in western swing...but that's a type of country music. The point that I'm trying to make is that there are indeed drumming patterns that are particular to only country music. I agree that a lot of it is, like you said, funk, jazz, rock, etc., but to say that "there's no such thing as country drumming" is ignorant. But what would I know? I only play that shit for a living.
@factorone Props for a "Country" drummer?? I hate to tell you but most Session/Touring drummers in Nashville and LA are with country acts..Drummers in country music today are hands down the best out there of any genre..Go and try to play some country music..you will see!
@Localdrummerweb Most of your rock drummers are playing country now. That's where the money is. A rock drummer playing country is far better than a country drummer playing either rock or country.

Not a bad solo, but the material after about 1:38 could've more original. Still, props for a country drummer.
