@rmdrummer87 Thanks...cool...Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits is a great tune. I used to play that with my band. It has a nice arrangement. I have been thinking of going over that one again. Thanks ....Nick

rock on dude.it's good to see drummers on here playing to the great classics from the 70's.keep it up!how long have you been playing?

[readyeddy101]

@thecoolestdad Thanks...I started when I was 13 yrs old

Oh cool, Nick! I was considering covering this number since I used to play it in a band back in the mid 70s. You got a good nice smacking snare on the 2 & 4. I like how your own drum mix is above the song track enough so that you could play your own thing & not be concerned about parroting the drum track. Dig that section at 2:10. Nice man.

[readyeddy101]

@rhythmantic Thanks Sal..I think I had most of the basics down on the song. Not quite sure if I inserted the hi hat hit that runs throughout much of the song in the correct place. I try to keep the drum volume above the song track volume mainly to allow people to easily hear what I am doing. And as you say I can do my own thing in spots and not be dueling exactly to what I miss. I know there was a spot where there was a four hit fill of 1/8 notes off the h hat but instead I did a drum fill

@readyeddy101 That's cool, there's many ways to play a pattern, so why not do it your own way if it works for the song. I'm learning to laugh now at folks who comment on covers that I" missed a crash" whereas before I felt I had to instruct them about the object of playing covers. .

Excellent Nick!!! I had the good fortune to see Lizzy live a few times way back long ago, great band. Sounds fantastic my friend!!!

[readyeddy101]

@classican Thanks Pete. That is cool about having seen TL. I never did. They had such great guitar harmonies......Kepp Rock'n....

The hit hat are not straight forward !!

[FL50DRUMR]

AWESOME tune! Great cover Nick - love the ghost notes. This song has that drum groove that identifies the song the moment you hear it. Really fluid drum rolls moving around your kit. Great job 2:10-2:30 on those two monster fills! Looks like the Boyz are back in town again...

[readyeddy101]

@FL50DRUMR Thanks Ed....My band just brought in a new bass player and this is a song he wanted to do so I started learning. I still need to tighten in up a bit but it's pretty much there. Thanks alot for you always uplifting comments from a fellow drummer. A really appreciate it my friend....Nick

[FL50DRUMR]

@readyeddy101 Your welcome Nick - I only wish I could play half as good as you. I'm sure I will with time, the journey is part of the fun and adventure isn't it? This is a great song and I'm sure you guys will rock it!

[readyeddy101]

@FL50DRUMR For me I am still in the journey. I always like the challenge of learning something new. I appreciate you kind words Ed. Believe me I have limitations to my drumming but I work with what I have. You are doing great drumming Ed !! You have a good feel for timing and your covers always sound right on to me.. You play challenging covers and play them well....You rock my frien !!! Nick
