Hey, first of all amazing and very helpful video to get an idea of the creativity of these guys.. Im interested though.. did you get the notes from somewhere? or were you actually able to find that out from the original song?? I thought you can normally guess what a guy is playing, but not for colaiuta!
@machine00head I transcribed it from the record. Had to slow it down though to really figure out what was going on and it took me a while to get my head around it.
@willywonka9385 Check out Wishbone Ash (google it), There's a live DVD of a recent gig (Live in London) available on the site or through Amazon and we tour a lot.
@MSvideoman Hey, no worries about the noob question. I watched a Greg Bissonette video when I was 12 and he said all his back beats were rim shots. That's how I've played ever since. Occasionally I play backbeats in the centre of the head but it now feels a little awkward to me as there's a lot more rebound to deal with. I believe Steve Gadd rarely plays rim shots for back beats (hence the very angled snare) - so it's good to work on both.
@MSvideoman The answer to your question is yes and yes. At first, it is hard to consistently play the rimshots, but it is worth learning and it takes less time than you might think. Using rimshots provides a sharper, crisper timbre that creates a bigger and clearer backbeat. Good luck!
great lesson, also reminded me of a video

@MSvideoman It really depends on the situation you're in.
For example, when recording a pop or rock song, playing rimshots
is a must. But if you play the same song in a ballroom on a wedding
party, it may sound too much. Anyway, playing live and in the studio
are always really different. When playing live, the volume level and
the sound of the whole band determines the way how to play the
backbeat on the snare. Not to mention a swing two-four, which is
almost never rim shot accented.

Martin , Ted , Steve , and Andy touring in support of Wishbone IV
Vinegar Joe opened featuring a then unknown Robert Palmer on vocals along with Elkie Brooks . I think their drum was Keef Hartley .
You're in a great band , man...best of luck 2 U

Sorry for the noob question but, are all your back beats snare rim shots?
Only been drumming for 2 years and just recently been around a lot of other drummers and it seems like all their back beats are rim shots.
And I've only recently realized that most good drummers do this?
