This is a song from 1974 by Wet Willie, a southern rock band from Mobile Alabama. This climbed to #10 on the billboard chart. If we all can "Keep On Smiling" this would be a better world. After listening to the drumming several times I was ready to give it a go. This video was my first and only run through the song. The song has a unique intro as well as a bass drum and snare combination while playing 1/8 beats on the hi hat. It's not perfect but with more practice it will become second nature. This video is for educational, critiquing and comarison purposes. Keep On Smiling !
It is so incredible to hear that song again. Thank you for sharing you talent with us here on YouTube. You have a gift. "Keep On Smiling"!

Nice job! I used to play this one in a band many moons ago. Loved Wet Willie. What kind of kit do you have? It sound nice.

@pac401 Hey thanks so much for watching and commenting. The kit I play on in the vid is a mid to lower end Rogers. I leave it out because my two boys play guitar, drums, bass so they jam alot with friends. I do have 3 other sets that are higher end that I use for band practice and for playing out.
