Drum cover of Slowdown a cover by The Beatles originally from Larry Williams, a favorite singer of John's.

A 12-bar blues written and performed by Larry Williams. Released as a single in 1958, it was a rhythm and blues hit that influenced the growing Rock & Roll movement of the time. It was released as a 7" single (45RPM). The A-Side was "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" and the B-Side was "Slow Down", which were both covered by The Beatles in 1965 and 1964, respectively.

One of the songs I used sing while drumming in the club scene.

Triggering a Ludwig Black or Blue Oyster Pearl kit from Addictive Drums.

Rock n' Roll by Led Zeppelin employs this groove.
