The Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down To Georgia (drums by Jouxplan)

[IcelandicBeast]

Thanks bro!

[IcelandicBeast]

Dude! Where is your Radar love video?!! That was my fav!

[jouxplan]

@IcelandicBeast It is in my 'Others' playlist, or you can find it in the 'My Best Uploads' playlist :-)

[thelittlesthobbit]

Working on this song myself, have to say, wow, you did a spectacular job and kind of demystified some of the licks. Still... more complicated than I would have thought.

[jouxplan]

@thelittlesthobbit Thank you!

It has to be said that at the end I do overplay it - the original does not have the 'big fills' that I do. I always wished that the drummer had done them, 'cos it seemed the right thing to do to me, so now that I just about have the ability to play what I always heard in my head, I did it on this video :-)

You may be interested in my more recent recording of this, using my new Roland drums - a better camera angle and better sound - have a look on my channel.

[readyeddy101]

Great job on the drum cover. It sounded very good. I am impressed. Thumbs up from me dude!

[jouxplan]

@readyeddy101 I thank you :-)

[Magnesiur]

That's the wrong track isn't it? I thought the real one was the rock one used in guitar hero 3, cause my dad said he knew it.

[jouxplan]

@Magnesiur I don't know, actually! I got this version off a 'Best Of Charlie Daniel's Band Compilation cd. It is how I remember it though - I am 46 and seem to recall it went like it is here!

Not sure I would base much on what is on Guitar Hero 3 though :-)

[Magnesiur]

@jouxplan Ah right, yeah. I might learn the GH3 one sometime lol but your cover was magnifico! :)

[dvideto]

Nice work !! smokin beat! what type of mixing for that vid /mics etc Bravo *****

[jouxplan]

@dvideto Hey, thank you! Mixing? Very crude actually. I do not use drum mics, no mixing desk, nothing. Just play my cd player very loud, drum as quietly as I can with my Flix sticks (not wooden sticks), and the camcorder records the whole lot in one go. Pretty amazing, eh? It's a Panasonic GS300 camcorder on this vid. I recently up-graded to a HD Panasonic EK300 or something - even better audio quaility. All my vids (except Me & Sarah Jane) are recorded as simply as this :-)

[plumberdude777]

That performance made my "Drum Performance" Playlist. Few people cover this awesome song. Nice job.

[jouxplan]

@plumberdude777 I am deeply honored my friend, thank you :-) I love this song awhole bunch, and have always loved the drumming on it (though you can't beat that fiddle - fantastic stuff!)

[jouxplan]

@plumberdude777 I just looked at your 'drum performance playlist' - and I am blown away that you have put my little video on that list! You got some incredible drummers on that list. I am lost for words :-)

[toolmaniac81]

Double bass??

[jouxplan]

If you mean "are you using a double bass drum?", then yes, towards the end I am using a double pedal for a couple of those fills.

If you mean "why have you ruined this song with those double bass drum fills?" then the answer is in my description

:-)

[croblesky]

Aaaaaawesome man! Well done

[jouxplan]

Thaaaaaaaaank you!

[xxkmanxx]

awesome job, i love this song.

[jouxplan]

I thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[KrazyMan329]

Amazing excellent job keep on rocking.

[drumforock]

Awesome song dude...this kid in my class was singin it today and I joined in and like only him and I have heard of this song. Everyone was lookin at us like we were crazy. great song though

[pumpkin3pumpkin]

I am a big supporter of your drumming videos. I hope you continue to upload as many videos of different songs. Cheers, Mark from Australia

[jouxplan]

Hey Mark! That's very kind of you! I have every intention of continuing to do this stuff.

Probably wil be doing 'The Brazilian' next - a rare live Genesis song. Fun on drums!!!

:-)

[lucagil8701]

buen redoble

[jouxplan]

'Good roll' I think, according to Google.

Thank you!

[odiolagrammatica]

5 stars!!

[Mydrumclub65]

HAHA ""

Please !! Drums sound is out of wack . Dude you need retune your drums ...Some people will never learn to how to Tune a drum

[jouxplan]

Tuning drums is wholly beyond me - always has been.

[shane0jack]

its probobly the fact that your using rods..if i'm not mistaken..and that doesn't give the exact sound of the drums....but it does silence them a little

[Juanchomanuel]

muy bueno....lo mejor

[jouxplan]

Google says this says -

'very good.....the best'

Thank you very much!

[MrNels0n]

lol its funny if you watch your videos in order of date, you seem to get more and more bells and whistles! and can i have your bass drum i love it!?!?!

[jouxplan]

Ha! Ha! Ha! I guess that is true!

Date order - I wonder if anyone has noticed, but I reckon that in the 18 or so months since I started posting videos onto YouTube, my drumming has got better and better: I am embarrassed now when I look at some of my early posts! It's funny!

My bass drum? Do you mean as seen in THIS video (it's just a 22" Pearl Export), or have you seen the new bass drum front skin, on my new jouxplan website?!

If not, go check it out! Details on my channel.

:-)

[spielmannr]

nice job, who is your little friend on the window? ha!

[jouxplan]

Cheers!

Er, I reckon you must be referring to the 'Santa Claus' sat in the window?! It was Christmas when I recorded this vid, hence a couple of festive decorations!

[LouddrummerO]

Seen this one on LRRG site. I enjoyed very much! I thought it was better the close. Busy just the way i like it:) Excellent!

[jouxplan]

Hello my friend! Glad you enjoyed it!

Pook posted my vid on the LRRG site without me even knowing - until he told me about it! Am very honoured he did it though!

[roflolmao12321]

I like the decorations lol

[TimothyRay12]

dude i so need to learn that thats like my fav song u gots to help me!

[jouxplan]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I can only suggest that you watch my video, and listen to the original lots. It is a pretty hectic piece to play though!

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask me.

[MoreBarn71]

Another great one!

[FiestyPuppy]

That was awesome, really enjoyed that.

[jouxplan]

:-)

[maplestoryJUiCAY]

im not saying your bad ur awsome! but your snare needs to be tuned a little but so its looser and more of a sizzle sound, your awsome!

[jouxplan]

I thank you!

Lots of people hate my snare sound. Oh well.

[Chunker]

Ah, why did you switch the camera view?

I think you should have it more towards the back of your set, so we can see your toms and hi-hat better.

[jouxplan]

There is just no pleasing some people! Man!

I set the camera up pretty much as I usually do. In this case I wanted to make sure you could see my snare. It is very, very difficult to get all the drums in, and the bass pedal (beater), and a nice view out the window, and the lighting right, and the camera height right, and the zoom right, and of course it is IMPERATIVE that I get my face in, so you can all laugh at any gurning that might be going on.........

Jesus.

[Chunker]

Haha, sorry. Ever consider a birds eye view?

Yeah I know you can't see your face, but it's really nice view.

You should treat yourself to some mics. :D

[Yeabuddy1]

have you moved... the room is difffrent. BTW nice job. Chris k

[jouxplan]

No! You can just see the old room outside the window! This is a room behind my garage that I have modified.

Glad you like the vid!

[jouxplan]

I don't know the GH3 version, so I won't comment - I am sure others will!

Nonetheless, the original version is much harder to drum to then you might think, even without the mad extra fills I add near the end!

Message - probably during January, and ONLY if it is to a similar standard as the version I have already posted! That vid is very popular, and almost universally 'acclaimed', and so I don't want to ruin my reputation!!! Got to get that bell in though.......

:-)

[Javic2112]

Great vid man! hard stuff to play,but U did real good ! I read all U write as info,and IM agree with U.I should give myself a good foot on the #ass#to learn it on bass.There is such a great bass line on it.Great job!

[jouxplan]

Cheers! Glad you like it!

Yep, the bass line is pretty damn cool on this track!

[downriverdon]

Good job on a fast paced song!Happy New Year Alex!

[jouxplan]

Many thanks!

Yes, this is a lot more tricky than you might think - the accents and changes are really hard, and even the snare work in the verses is tough - keeping time is real hard for me, anyway!

Happy New Year to you too!
