Steely Dan - PEG - DRUM TRACK

[Aquarius176]

Love it!!!!! You are so awesome.! Great drummer!

[Quad10311]

Go get em

[stretch54]

Nice effort. Place more accent on the first beat of the high hat lick and it will sound better.

[dmoss74]

serviceable rendition, but not the correct high hat technique. marotta's playing was very nuanced. and too much compression on your drums during the recording. :)

good job mostly.

[Velvet4U]

Wonderful sounding snare and bass drum . The best drummers are not loud, and have a great sound of their instrument. Superb !!!!!!!!!!!!

[turntapzap]

Most excellent!

[TheAverycross]

Great job!!

[mwpfn747]

It bought it for about 500 dollars. Because a very warm sound is heard, it likes the bronze.

[TheDrummercritic]

solid, make sure to add the ghost notes though

[Futterstompf]

lovely stuff!

[randho8]

Keep practicin....u'll get it eventually

[costadeljhoan]

ハイハットのビミョーなあと打ちオープンが再現されてないですけ­ど、、、、、

聞き取れてないですか？

[jamielinda1]

your missing the snare beat listen closer otherwise good job bro!!

[renak4691]

your an orgasmic drummer

[tonytoy1776]

I'm a guitar player, but I still loved watching you play this tune!

[habyss]

Clubs for hands. Clubs for feet. No head.

[nitedrive]

@habyss - might have nothing to do with your commet, but funny you'd say that; in an 'Aja' documentary, Marotta talks about drumming in the 70s, when 'if you had clubs for hands you could still play'.

[habyss]

@nitedrive Yeah, that was the reference I intended.

[dhy1984]

ハイハット一打少なくないですか？

まぁそれは置いといて、上手いですねー

いつも参考にさせてもらってます＾＾

[sweetfly66]

this is my favorite Steely Dan song .... Rick Marrota on drums I believe ...

@ the guy in the video ...good drum sound .

[747bdr]

i must correct myself aja album used three drummers. purdie, gadd; and marrota

marrota credited with peg...

[747bdr]

according to wikopedia steve gadd is credited for the drum tracks im pretty shure its right too

[747bdr]

is it a bell bronze snare (cast) i want a true bell bronze cast snare but they cost at least 1200 bucks and thats a cheap one. i like your drums . ive got maple custom too in dave weckl's set up awesome drums

[pljgfdt]

BRO you should of finished the whole song that was hype. yeah yeah!!

[webstercat]

Even on my crappy head phones snare and bass kick ass!

[jonnyfish76]

easy to play..but still cool..

[zanik00]

Good all you need to do is work the hi-hat beat out!

[buzzplutie]

Marotta uswes a 3-beat ostinato pattern on the hat, not a 2. keep listening.

Yoy're too busy.

[buzzplutie]

keep listening.....Marotta hits the hat with a 3-beat ostinato, not a 2.

[kirkmach32]

More nuance....Marotta was he nuance master. Also, in the original there are less bass notes.

[Ringarum]

This kit sounds amazing! nice punchy sound on the bass drum!

[Antiks72]

Great song choice.

[dianesusan1961]

I listened and I was thinking nice playing, Nice Snare sound--then I read the other comments--everybody noticed the snare...

Tuning I should say--they don't sound like that out of the box.

Takes Skill to make a snare sound like that.

but, More Cowbell please...

[atks22]

the snare sounds great.. Is it a yamaha??? wat model is it??

[namniekib]

The recorded version has a hi-hat overdub along with a couple of crash cymbals.Same with "Lowdown".

[Abazaba66]

Very nice!

[lauraxkates]

dude, this is really good. great track to play to as well. what model snare is that?

[OnTheRoof1]

Great playing! snare drum sounds really, really good!

[GoSlash27]

The hi-hat is the hard part. You almost have to do the mashed-potato on the pedals to pull it off. Just set it so it's barely open and dance to it!

[vinylvend]

Nice drums, excellent sound. Your cymbals also sound excellent, good job on playing.

[jmdurnell]

Good job brother. Just get that hi hat lifted a little and funk it up a little bit and it's money. Don't be afraid to add some ghost notes. Over all looks like good fun on a classic.

[jtdrum88]

nice job. great snare sound!

[Funchmasteflex]

lift the highhat a hair and it'll sound mad choice

good work :D

[amaupin4111]

Good playing. You're playing's not too mechanical- You're playing the song. Woyya's def not playing Moratta's groove. I wouldn't say you need to pull the snare to the back of the beat (because Moratta's playing in the center), but you need to play closer to the middle of the beat on some snare hits.

[MarreCbeauford]

Nice Cover, but you´re keeping your self too much to the song. It would have been nicer if you would let you self out not just playing the song in the correct way. Try to change it a bit

[snickle13]

yeah but then he'd have people yelling at him becouse he's playing it "wrong".

[MarreCbeauford]

Yeah, I guess you´re right... I just love Playing Steely Dan sometimes, but then after a while I just can´t play it anymore... I guess it´s something about they´re sound, but anyway... This is a great cover, but I just think that he could it in another way

[Chrisser90]

Nice cover 5 stars :-D...

[prettythuggi]

That snare sounds good.

[empika]

too mechanical...

i doubt anyone could ever get that 'purdie shuffle' just right though

[wanquarta]

i think it was rick marrotta playing this track originally though

[woyya123]

yeah its marotta..plus ur right its too mechanical check out my version and give me a shout out.

[laxinthe303]

Not bad, but this is pretty mechanical for a band that was really into the ol' cocaine. Funk it up brother!

[elementfool]

I like this a lot.

[randoCalrision]

While this is a tight performance it is a bit mechanical, just as woyya123 says. You are just a bit too on top of the timming. Lay it back. The snare in particular. That's where the Grove is and you need to lay pull it back.

[guitarIQ]

very good,

[apujols2194]

nice supraphonic, i hav one too

[davylou]

the set sounds great!! and I enjoyed your playing.. keep on!! KUDOS!!

[AlmostEthical]

Smooth :) But as downjones says, Rick swishes the hats to accent the horn kicks. Also agree with Crand that the hats are played in threes and not twos.

Putting all the elements of the beat together is much harder than it sounds!

The good news is that the Steelies had a number of top session drummers lay down tracks to "Peg" and Rick's effort was chosen, so if your version isn't quite up to his you're in good company :)

[dernst47]

yeah the feel on the hat's a bit off

[woyya123]

good try but to mechanical..

not groovin.

[crand123]

I've been working on this groove for a while and I always thought that it was only two notes on the hihat until I watched the video of recording of the track and saw that it's three. Your playing sounds great, but the icing on the cake would be if you just bounced that third note and openned the hihat a smidge.

[vonluden38]

what kind of snare is that!

[mwpfn747]

Thank you for the comment.

This snare is Tama's Simon Philips model and the shell is a bronze.

[mzzvaughan]

@mwpfn747 YOU ARE KING OF THE DRUM LINE!!!! FEEL WHAT I'M SAYIN?

[shoopdewooooooop]

@mwpfn747 ahh, this was a fun song to play on my drum set... but a bronze shell? dang, how much did that cost?

[urophilia]

Great Playing , but what an amazing sounding kick drum! What size and kind of kit is that-- I love it.

[mwpfn747]

Thank you for the comment.

It was possible to understand though I was not good at English.

The size of the bass drum is 22"×16" and a Maple custom of Yamaha made of 1992 years.

The drum head puts the pad of Dammar because of the control sound of Remo and emphasizes the attack sound.

The reverberation has hung picking up the bass drum from the microphone such as snares.

[downjones]

Your hi hat pattern isn't quite it. Watch the Steely Dan video of Aja. He opens his hi hat slightly. That was what so trademark about this drum track.
