"Prelude/Angry Young Man" (Billy Joel) Drum Cover by Kevin Laurence

This song really opened my eyes as a musician. The first time I saw Billy Joel perform this back in 2002, I was completely blown away. Here is my tribute to Billy's former drummer Liberty Devitto.

ok, now i'm pissed. it's bad enough that u play piano as good as u do. and ok ,u can sing pretty well also. but when u start banging on a trap set like that i just can't take it any more. it almost sounds like drums were ur first love instead of piano. one thing kevin, instead of singlestroke rolls on that highhat try five and seven stroke rolls, maybe even papadiddles. you will find that they sound much tighter and are a lot easier to play....................kenny

Why are there so many amazing covers of this song on YouTube? That being said, I recently did a guitar/piano/vocal cover of it myself on my channel. :P

so awesome

Kevin: Jeez, drums and keyboards. Amazing talent. While not perfect this was still superb. Liberty would be proud. I've a favor to ask and will do so via a mesage.

good for you. nicely done, made 1000% moreso since it's you on the keys as well.
