Little By Little - Robert Plant (Drum Cover)

**For Best Video Sound Quality Change the Resolution to HD 720P!

"Little By Little" from the "Shaken 'n' Stirred" album by Robert Plant. I've always loved this song and wanted to play it at some point so I decided to record it while I was learning it. Fun song from my favorite solo album by Plant. Hard to believe this was released clear back in 1985. Richie Hayward laid down some great drum tracks throughout this album.

Little By Little - Robert Plant

Little by little, my heart green
Little by little, I call your name
Little by little, my tears fall
Little by little, everything changes

Little by little, the time goes
Little by little, the days pass by
Little by little, the air clears
Little by little, I can breathe again
I can breathe again --

Back at the mirror - your good friend
Talk to the mirror, but play out your game
Sat in the middle, I stop then
Look at the winner, and the price you pay

Close the window - I tremble
Love was a fall that had no end
Now little by little - the air clears
Little by little, I can breathe again
I can breathe again --

I call your name - I call your name
I call your name - I call your name
Everything changes - everything changes
I call your name
I can breathe again --

I had to add something..if you play it beat for beat..spot on..how can I tell you're playing???...I can't tell if that's the album or you??..you should throw in a fill...

@mjw9363 On some cover tunes, (This one.) the drum track has such a big sound and it's so "out front" in the mix that it's hard to compress. I almost have to try to play the song exact in order to not step all over the original drums. It bothers me if for example a crash cymbal sound comes through from the original track and I'm playing the hi-hat in the vid. The E-drums being digital and clean (No overtones, etc.) make it harder to cover the original track also. I'll PM you with more info..

You picked a good one to play, my friend..that's for sure!...Great job Dude!!!

@mjw9363 Thank you for the nice comments! I've always felt that this was such a great song musically and I love the lyrics too!

@mmheinzelmann Thanks Michael! This song was popular in the U.S. around 1985 when it was released and I really enjoy the entire "Shakin & Stirred" album. The studio engineering is great and at the time the album had a sound that was different than all the techno-pop stuff that was so popular. The electronic kit has a number of limitations but at least it allows me to practice in silence and not drive everyone crazy! Lol!

Thanks again and I really enjoyed watching/listening to your vids!

this very cool, how you play the electronic kit, did not listen much to Robert Plant, so far, but I like the tune, thanks!

@jumpinjojo Thanks! I've always loved this song and it's a lot of fun to play. The big "live" sound of Richie's drums on this album is well engineered and sounds great with the music.

Thanks again for watching and commenting!
