Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones (Drum Cover)

[rcphotobob]

loved it just great, I would like to say I remembered it from the 70's but actually I don't remember a thing all I know is I was there....I think!

[rhythmantic]

@rcphotobob Thanks. Yea, having lived there that period I can understand that :D

[williamwilbur]

Hi Sal, can you use the hi-hat from 0:09 to 0:40 or not?

[rhythmantic]

@williamwilbur I didn't want to give an 8th note ride push, it would have changed the feel, so I didn't use a ride pattern in the intro. But yes, you could use a hi-hat, but you'd have a different feel. Not sure if the recording has a ride, but that's what it sounded like to me.

[williamwilbur]

@rhythmantic Ah Right ok :)

[handlebarWM]

great job, will be basing my learning of the song on this video.

[rhythmantic]

@handlebarWM Thanks. I'm happy to know that other drummers use my videos to learn the songs.

[orsimarsh]

[nordicaproductions]

It is so wonderful to see that not only are you a fantastic and tremendously talented musician, you also enjoy the music you play(the best music in the world one might add). Keep on rockin' brotha!

[rhythmantic]

@nordicaproductions Hey thanks for sharing that, and I appreciate you stopping by and checking the video. Peace.

[MusicIsMyMedicine14]

I did not have a reason to make a youtube account til now.

This is one of the best videos on youtube in my opinion because it has my favorite song along with a fantastic performance.

You are truly a skilled drummer and i hope you never stop

[rhythmantic]

@MusicIsMyMedicine14 Wow, thanks kindly, and for subscribing to my drumming channel. Hope you dig the covers, jams & tutorials. Appreciate you checking out this video.

[jenowan]

what did you reach for at the start of the song

[rhythmantic]

@jenowan My laptop, I had the song track and my drum track playing and recording through Logic Pro.

[jenowan]

@rhythmantic

ok thanks...it just baffled me at the start lol

[daplumr1]

YOU SHOULD BE HIRED.............FANTASTIC

[Odoyle321]

Favorite song of all time. You really did The Stones justice on this one. Great Job!

[rhythmantic]

[juliano8315]

qual a cidade que vc se encontra p trocarmos umasideias de batera eu comprei uma alesis dm6 é legalzinha tem um som puro. tanks my friend

[BoydMcCoy]

Where can i find the drum tabs?

[rhythmantic]

@BoydMcCoy I don't use tabs. If I use a chart it's a drum set notation. Google: drum tabs.

[BoydMcCoy]

@rhythmantic

Okay, but i already tried searching on youtube and i was unable to find them anywhere..

Nevermind then...

Great drum cover btw!

[BradBehrens96]

Great playing man

[rhythmantic]

@BradBehrens96 Thanks and for watching.

[twncintiohio]

I haven't found a cover for "Rocks Off" by the Stones....do you do that one?

[rhythmantic]

@twncintiohio no!

[rhythmantic]

@SlagTeamUK Hey thanks a lot, appreciate you checking it out and commenting.

[juliano8315]

ok achei seu estilo muito legal, espero nao ter te ofendido,foi apenas uma colocação ok

[rhythmantic]

@juliano8315 sim, é legal, sem ofensa tomadas, só pensava que precisava explicar. .

[juliano8315]

brother aos 1;39 faltou uma batida crash? ok im sorry, bat is really do you wondestern??? i am no spiking ? ingles i am brasileiro and drum professional continue practice , very cool. tankyo

[rhythmantic]

@juliano8315 I'm not trying to play exactly like Charlie, I'm playing to my own feel like I'm the original drummer on the session, while at the same time, acknowledging the essence of the groove and also playing any key fills or riffs. It's a "cover", not "replica", did you understand the difference? I'm too experienced a musician to be a copy cat of someone else' playing.

[rhythmantic]

@juliano8315 Eu não estou tentando jogar exatamente como Charlie, eu estou jogando a minha própria sensação como se eu fosse o baterista original na sessão, enquanto, ao mesmo tempo, reconhecendo a essência do sulco mas também jogar qualquer tecla preenche ou riffs. É um "cover" não "réplica", você entende a diferença? Eu sou muito experiente músico para ser um gato da cópia de outra pessoa jogando.

[puchoo]

great cover man love the sound of your machine :)

[rhythmantic]

@puchoo Right on.

[Credative]

Put "TD-12" in either your title or description. It will get you more views, trust me.

[rhythmantic]

@Credative Ok, I did, and TD-20 too.

[Aehro]

por sinal, belo cover.

[rhythmantic]

@Aehro Muito obrigado. Está espécie. 

[Aehro]

omg youre hitting your knee

[rhythmantic]

@Aehro And why do you think that is?/E por que você acha que é?

[Aehro]

@rhythmantic amigo... se eu não soubesse por que é, eu nem estaria vendo este vídeo. não posso botar uma pitada de humor no comentário?

[rhythmantic]

@Aehro Claro, você poderia colocar humor a qualquer hora. Eu gosto de ser parvo. Eu bati a minha perna para manter o tempo que flui quando não estou usando essa mão.

[EsotericOccultist]

One of my favorite classic rock songs and you rocked it bro!

[rhythmantic]

@EsotericOccultist thanks dude. Keep on watching my vids.

[martijntalma]

you nailed it @ white room - cream.

that i like best from you man.

play on.

p.s cool hat btw

[rhythmantic]

@martijntalma Thanks for checking it out and commenting.

[RhythmRoom1960]

I'm not a huge Stones fan, although my wife wants to have Mick's baby. With that said, this is a classic tune and you covered if with an absolute groove. Well done.

[rhythmantic]

@RhythmRoom1960 I'm not either, but what the heck, they're The Stones and there are a few tunes like this one that groove rather nicely, it's one of those songs that haunted me to play it. Thanks so much for checking it out.

[SolidSnake1162]

Truly amazing drumming my friend.

[rhythmantic]

@SolidSnake1162 Thanks my friend, I appreciate you taking the time to check it out & comment.

[noble381297]

Love it!! nice job as always!!

[rhythmantic]

@noble381297 Aw shucks! This song was fun to drum.

[noble381297]

@rhythmantic It does look fun lol :)

[ThePurplefink]

Great drumming , one more time. You don´t miss one beat and your choice of songs is wonderful. Any time i see your videos it amazes me and i hope to have the time to make some more ,too.

[rhythmantic]

@ThePurplefink Hey right on, thanks. Your comment means a lot coming from a good drummer like yourself. Just let the camera roll and drum through a playlist on iTunes or an iPod.

[martijntalma]

@ThePurplefink although the guy plays very relaxed and tight, he missed the beat at around 1.35 - 1.38.

Charlie originally hits the toms and ends with the crash.

He doesnt play that.

Not to pick on the drummer though, but he also plays everything on the snare, and Charlie also really does use the toms as well.

For the rest: rock on.

Great playing

[ThePurplefink]

@martijntalma Think it doesn´t matter if that great drummer misses one beat on this song. It´s important to play the song well with the music , like him...........

[martijntalma]

@ThePurplefink but if you want to play along you should play it as it is made.

Dont get me wrong, he surely is a great player (dont think i am better), but he should play the toms more.

The toms is a big part of this song.

[rhythmantic]

@ThePurplefink You understand, you get it, these kind of things can't be explained to some, they don't understand the concept, which is capturing the essence of the song/groove/style, play those signature parts that are so vital to the song and are key hook riffs, while all the time, (now here is where some folks don't get it) BE YOURSELF in The expression like you are the drummer on the session.

[rhythmantic]

@martijntalma There weren't any beats missing. I didn't crash a cymbal at 1:39, but that is a matter of choice. Just because something is on a record doesn't necessarily mean it's the right or appropriate thing to play. Many of the covers I've done I've made intentional decisions not to do a fill in the middle of the vocalist's phrasing, that's just not musical, but there it is on the record. but I don't have to play that way, because when I'm on the session I don't play like that.

[martijntalma]

@rhythmantic

i understand and agree, it is just i am so familiar with gimme shelter, i tend to forget you have all the freedom in the world to play it however you like.

When i play it, i play it differently also.

even though you play it wrong (:D:D:D:D:D:D) still think yours is one of he better ones out here on yt.

[rhythmantic]

@martijntalma If the right feel, groove and instrumentations are played and it is in the pocket, it can't be "wrong". Do you honestly think that Charlie could cover this EXACTLY how he recorded it over 40 years ago? I don't think so. I was around the day the album was released and so I'm very familiar with it. The Stones, like The Beatles, covered a lot of other artist's tunes, do you think they played them wrong? How about Hendrix's Johnny B Goode, or All Along The Watchtower? Put up a cover
