The Who - Relay

I've "rewritten" the drum part while trying to keep the essence and flow of what Keith laid down, I felt what he did was rather odd, what I did was come up with a double bass beat that goes like this: RLRLRLR-RR, it feels more natural to me, while keeping the breaks and cymbal "rushes" in place. Hope you like it.

@SH3L70N

thanks, it seemed to need some kind of beat, played with it for years

Your treatment of it is an improvement over Keith's, no doubt. And I like it. One thing, drummer to drummer, is that you are mostly behind the beat, dragging it. That's always a no no. Try it again w/o being so relaxed. Push the beat, and it will be better.

AND... Keith had a lot of problems with beats outside the 4/4 range, I believe a lot of what is on this is Petes demo, I have never heard Ketih or anyone match what is on record, the Who played it differently live, AND, that is why there are no drums on The Music Must Change, Keith couldn't do it, its 6/8, more of a musical piece with a flowing groove, if you want to see me play a Who tune note for note, see my 905 or my Can't Explain, and I'm an American with British heritage to the 1400's

@davedaveson100 ==you're the idiot, I play the double bass along with the bass guitar line, Keith was not a technical drummer, he was more sensationalism, personally I think his drums sucked on this, mostly because this is a recording "in the works", it was never finished, it was released on Odds & Sods, a filler to give them time off, had it been "finished" I think it would have been different, and not what should have been done, what he did was odd, more tom tom and no beat
