Hey Readyeddy101 great job! I like your style of playing the drums!

[readyeddy101]

@JoacoLa1 Well thank you very much Joaco !! That is a very kind comment. You are very smart to recognize that drummers have different styles. I really enjoy watching others play and seeing their styles. We are really all different when it comes to style and can always learn from each other....Nick

Good cover my friend. I noticed your using nylon tips. Was this ment or were they just the only sticks you had ;aying arounf at the time?

[readyeddy101]

@paulwall1981 Great question. I prefer nylon tips and normally use them. What is weird is that today I was just thinking about nylon tips vs wood and why I use them. How wild is it that I read your comments after my thoughts?? Three reasons I use nylon vs wood: I prefer the sound when striking cymbals, they don't soften up in time as would tips can and they last longer. It's not that I never use wood tips but I think it is out of habit. Thanks so much for watching and your kind comment.....Nick

@readyeddy101. I to prefer nylons to trad wood tips. I also like the fact that they last longer than wood tips and also the fact that they don't get chewed up like wood tips. What shape tip do you use? I like a rounded or barreal shape tip. What about you? Thanks for keeping in touch keep up the good work.

@paulwall1981 I have teardrop and oval tips although I may try the round tips to check out any difference.....

@meatymeatburger Why do you feel the need to be an asshole. The guy is just playin the drums. Let him be. If you dont like it don't watch it, simple as that. When you feel you have mastered roadhouse blues, post your ignorant comment along with a video post. Until then, leave youtube and go bash your mom for giving birth to you.

[paulwall1981]

@readyeddy101. I think rounded or barrel tips give a much sharper sound on both drums and cymbals. But to each his own. When you have tried the rounded tips let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you again. Thanks fro your time.

@Zepp3849 Thanks for your comment Zepp. I didn't realize how many I was actually putting in there. It is out of habit from my playing style I quess. I just listened to the studio version again and Densmore puts a few in but very subtley. I will try to eliminate some. I am always looking for areas to tweak my covers once I have the basics down. It's a great tune and one that my band plays out....Thanks Zepp ....Nick

I never realized there was ghost notes on the snare.
