[caspiankids]

@caspiankids

Thanks !

[82osammot]

the only thing different is the way you open the hi-hat...Jerry Marotta had a different kind of use..but you did a great job anyway!

[katsuoda001]

@82osammot

Thank you very much for the comment !

Best cover of this I've seen b/c you really go the hihat part close. That's the key to the drum part. The offbeat accents.

Hi, I replied 1 month ago, I hope it is ok to reply again!

I love Steely Dan so much, I have all their albums and perhaps i am obsessive:)

I just listened to you again, as i often do....you seem to understand the music, you understand the feeling

When I hear you, I think of British Redcoats going into battle, and the drums beating the march behind them

As you play, my feet are jumping up and down in time and i turn your playing up loud so it bangs in my head

Love it...thanks again

[katsuoda001]

@jagdpanther1944

Thank you so much for the comment, Phil !

I greatly love Steely Dan too.

I'm very happy that you feel so :-) Thank you!!!

[steverok67]

Nice. I suggest hit the cymbals softer on the crashes. This song really doesn't have any fills. Good job, it is fun to play isn't it ?

[katsuoda001]

@steverok67

Thanks for your advice !

Yea, I enjoyed. I like this song very much. I play and sing this song on my band.

Steely Dan is my favorite band.

[steverok67]

@katsuoda001 Remember this song is more "light pop" than rock ... LOL. I too used to sing and play this song in a band. Much of my drumming practices are along to "The Dan", who are really more of a group than a band. Some other favorites for drums are "Deacon Blues", "Barrytown", "Doctor Wu", etc. Keep it up ...

[jagdpanther1944]

thank you for this....i was feeling melancholy...you cheered me up!

[katsuoda001]

@jagdpanther1944

I'm glad to cheer you up !

[longfellowdeeds10]

Great job man.I like the shufflein great timing. I also like that snare.

[katsuoda001]

@longfellowdeeds10

Thank you !!!

[DancingSpiderman]

I LVOE your drum cover of my favorite Dan song, Katsuo -- well done !

[katsuoda001]

@DancingSpiderman

Thank you !

This song is my favorite too !

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

I hear you! That drumming on AJA is something else! But hey, you look like you can handle that drumming w/ some serious practicing! Best wishes and keep on rockin' those drums!

[katsuoda001]

@MoviesTubeYou0675

I greatly appreciate your encouragement !!!

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

Have you tried drumming AJA? I'd definitely love to see that done by you!

[katsuoda001]

@MoviesTubeYou0675

Thank you so much for your comment !!!

OK, I'll try AJA in the future.

However AJA is difficult tune to me, so I think I have to practice

many times. :-)

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

Freakin' awesome drummin'!!!! Rock on, Kastsuo!!!!

[ahilgaz]

Very good jon Katsuo :)

[katsuoda001]

@ahilgaz

Thank you so much !!!

[ahilgaz]

@katsuoda001 should have been "job" of course :)

[dkcvv]

You definitely rock my friend ! I don't know anything about drumming, but all I can say is that you got a nice groove, the most important in my opinion when you play music.

Nice bass too, this one, btw...

Fred

[katsuoda001]

Thank you friend !!

Yes! I also think the most important thing to play music is "groove".

[readyeddy101]

Very Very good job. I really liked your groove on the h hat. Your timing is right on the money. You are a very good drummer. I would really like to see you perform FM. I think you would do a very good job on it from what I see. Also i like your Africa by Toto cover. Keep picking goods songs to cover. 2 thumbs up from me!

[katsuoda001]

Thank you so much for your comment !!!!!!!

I wanna play good groove every time like many GREAT drummers(Jeff Porcaro, Bernard Purdie, Rick Marotta, ........).

Now I reconsider my stick stroke. I would try FM in the near future.

Thank you!!!

[scottplyr777]

where the hell did you learn to play?i need to go to that school.lol

[TREMOmusic]

....Yeah man,,

[katsuoda001]

Thanks for watching!

I like this song very much.
