@Billykid514 , really you should loosen up a bit, more wrist not so much arm. You'll wear yourself out with those whole arm movements. I was the same way starting out, just relax a little and get comfortable. You look like you need to dump, so tense. Don't be afraid to move shit around, find a position that feels good and build you trap around it, loosely though, take up some space and spread it out a bit so you you're not all hunched over and crammed in there...
@Billykid514, hell you may find after moving things around that you don't need a drum or maybe lose a cymbal or two. Or, you want more stuff, my point is I've been at it a while and your set-up and you don't fit. It looks like you adjusting yourself to fit the set, should be the other way around. Find a comfort zone that feels good so you can play <---- important...play with a smile, It's music...enjoy it.
@tubesteakdynamo yeah I cramped in there down in that room, first time I played this tune, no doubt I am too stiff. The more I practice it the looser I will get plus I study Bob Burns, he is one of my fav drummers
I cannot believe after being such a skynyrd fan that I don't recall this awsome tune! Once again you have done a terrific job. In fact, I read one of your earlier replies and maybe I:m partial to your talent, but I think you did great! As always...
Nice attempt bros, but you need some work. Listen closely to the high-hat strikes...you are playing a 1-2-3-4 when most of the song other than the chorus calls for a 1and2and3and4and....
Make sure to play the accented 8th note, or 16th note pattern in the second half of the verse. Learn it and repost.
