Great job mate. I'm Scott Travis with Judas Priest. You do not only a good job in dissecting the parts but also in the way you really break it down in to sections & make it easy to learn for all us drummers. You're right, so many cats play that intro wrong! It's f'ing sacrilegious. Lol

Hi Scott, thanks for the message!

Ray Weston from Wishbone Ash and Iron Butterfly checking in. Very nice job! But here's an easier way getting the intro drum part together. The snare / hi hat pattern is exactly the same as the signature Chuck Berry guitar intro used on many of his rock'n'roll classics. The accents are identical. Check it out!

Sounds just like the man Fraser.

Hi Ray, Thanks for the tip and compliments!

John's sister Deborah told me that he got this intro from the drum intro on Little Richard's version of "Keep a Knockin" but I agree the accents on the guitar intro on "Johnny B Goode" for example, are an even better match!

stupid question for ya phrase....

are you drawing all your cymbol amplification from that one overhead. I know nothing of micing, and am looking to do so. No problem with the drums, but cymbols? What overhead mic u using?

keep up the great work

@derwoody1

No there are two overheads, there is another one just above the crash cymbal on my left, which is just out of the picture! These are quite cheap condenser mics from a company called Red5 Audio. A pair of condensers (panned left and right) is the usual way to record cymbals. Some people also like another mic for the hi hat, but the overheads usually pick up the hi hat pretty well. I sometimes use a room mic too about 10 feet away from the kit.

funny accent !!

Phrase, you the man! Thanks for demonstrating the correct snare and tom sticking at the start of the drum break at the end of the song. I've been playing it wrong for years.

[diffendar]

Cool. thanks for showing this I have listened to this track a lot and couldn't quite work out the sticking, but you show it how it is!

I hope to get this one good enough to play, I LOVE the ending! ROCK! arghh!

[Nato61]

Listen to Little Richard , Keep a Knockin. I think John Bonham was doing his version of that.

[Nato61]

Thank you ! YEars ago I used to play this but now I wonder if I play it correctly then. Now I need to re-learn it for an audition and you are a big help. I have 3 days to get it right. On 3+ ,, got it.

Other than the intro accents sounding a tad wrong, the ending example was really helpful for me revisiting this song after 20 some years since I last played it, thanks, and love your accent!, camera work and sound are stellar!! Thanks!!!

[Basilthedrummer]

That's excellent mate thanks a lot. Anytime you're down Sheffield way give us a shout.

You actually got the intro wrong.
