Earl, king of the laid back grooves!

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Thomas! 🤘🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

[@DrummerKeithScott]

Great choice. I did this for my mom when she passed a year ago. She always sung it around the house when she did housework. Your version sounds amazing.

[@earldrum]

That’s awesome Keith … I need to check that out! Have a great day!

[@gregwonhoff7161]

So tastefully done, Earl, and the electric toms are so cool, and as usual, your tom work is impeccable. What a cool ending too.Thank you for being here every morning when I get up

[@earldrum]

I try Greg … my backlog of videos has dwindled! But I love sharing passion with this small world of drummers!

[@elaineprieto3474]

This was my dad's favorite song. He had the 45 by Roy Orbison and would play it over and over. He passed away when I was 12. Thank you for a beautiful cover of this song! Loved it! 👍😀🙏

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback and story Elaine! Music really does help us to remember! So sorry for your loss at such a young age!

[@waltonbrown]

Earl, opening the hihat on the 3 for a 1/4 note duration really give the groove a beautiful lilt and then coming in with the syndrum is the crowning glory !!!!!

[@earldrum]

I tried to cop the original part … I think it was Russ Kunkel on drums! I loved that syndrum sound, but it came and went really fast! Thanks for watching Walton! Cheers my friend!

[@jessicagreene1773]

Great playing Earl. This is the kind of song I find hard to play as I have to keep the idea in my head to not hit a crash cymbal at the end of the bar.

[@earldrum]

Jessica that crash cymbal problem is something I still work on today! That’s how I was taught to play, fill then crash! But a lot of studio drummers left the crash off for reasons of reducing the offensive high pitched sound to ears of the listener! So I know what you mean!

[@805breeze]

So nicely done as always!!!!

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback my friend! Have a great day John!

[@iorijones6351]

One of my favourites singers from the 70’s, along with Jackson Browne, Eagles and Bonnie Raitt.
Like the electronic drum head accents.
Beautifully played Earl.
Enjoy your Saturday!

[@bryandrums32]

Excellent job Earl!!!! You rock!!!!

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Zax! 🤘🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

[@eddiebirkett9602]

i used the old syndrum on the boo boo sound , worked with a great singer Ronda Hart , she could sing this good , nice track Earl !

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Eddie! I always wanted syndrums and Simmons drums! But I could not afford then back in the day! But I have some samples that will have to do for now with the modern SPDSX and a few edrum pads!

[@ARDrummer]

Very cool setup! Nice work Earl!

[@mickeyf3730]

Very nice Earl! Love the edrums!
Hey, if I removed my resonant heads from my toms, would I essentially have concert sounding toms or just toms without bottom heads? Thanks

[@earldrum]

Mickey you would have the sound of concert toms! But still double headed drums! 😂😁🥁🙏🏻

[@avpala2]

Hell yeah, there’s a fun cover of this by Phish sung by drummer Fishman. On Spotify it’s a sound check

[@earldrum]

I’ll have to find that one someday! Thanks for the feedback my friend! 🤘🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

[@Adam-hs1ft]

Hey, Earl- great cover of a great song.
What kind of drum groove would you consider this? I'm a singer-songwriter and am currently working on a demo for a song with a similar feel, but have been racking my brain trying to nail down the right groove with samples.

[@earldrum]

It’s a half time calypso beat … it’s got a big time feel. 1 (2) a (3) 4. I don’t know if that helps? Thanks for watching

[@Adam-hs1ft]

@@earldrum awesome! I really appreciate it and look forward to watching more of your videos.
