So you got it through huh? Well good! Cause this is brilliant! Careful now...don't show me to much. YEAH RIGHT... show me all! Thanks 😊! It's Yo world!
Carlyle, I got the video through the UA-cam copyright stuff! But I’ve been playing this song for years! But I’m glad you learned something form my playing this one.
@@earldrum first thing, Thanks 😊 for the quick response. That is priceless to me. It shows the real Earl. That and all you share with so many. I recalled you speak of this song on Ask Earl and that were able to get it through. I want to check out the Chicago drummer you recommended also. But you,sir, you never fail to impress and please. Liberty. Haven't heard that name in some time. You are a living library. Thanks for the smiles today and many back to you.
@@earldrum actually, my name is Joel. That moniker was a high school 'nickname'. I've been playing drums since 1965 and currently in a community band called Classic Rewind Live. We do 50's to 90's...rock, country, R&B, etc.
@@aronowaughful hi Joel, nice to meet you! You have been playing drums a long time! I started at 15 years old in 1975. Getting closer to 50 years of drumming everyday! That’s great you are in a band! I play drums at my church, do some recording sessions for friends, and I’ve been in many bands, but I’m happy doing m6 UA-cam thing for now. I’m still working full time! Maybe someday I’ll do the band thing again! Thanks for watching!
@@scottmitchell555 I saw Liberty DiVitto teach a class on playing this song at MD FESTIVAL back in the 90s. I put a little of me on it too! But it’s very close!
@@earldrum Very cool man. I would say your rendition is pretty damn close. I've always believed that Liberty DiVitto is one of the most underrated drummers out there. He has a very unique approach to his drum parts. No one else sounds like him.
Thanks, but that is all Liberty DeVitto’s groove! I just played it! I never saw any drummer playing this song, play it this way! Except Liberty! Thanks for watching Steve
Yes, Liberty played it with a brush and a stick. I played it for years more of a hi hat groove, but I saw him demonstrate it at a drum clinic where he said all drummers play this one wrong! Then he play it this way! Crazy! Thanks for watching
Here is the video of Liberty explaining it ... I did a little bit of my thing on it, but very close. Hadn’t seen this video in years ... so it was performed from memory this weekend! ua-cam.com/video/l7wCkzeI-MI/v-deo.html

Oh yeah... I like the camera work lately. Good ideas camera person! Is it Mrs Hammer? Pleasing indeed.
Nice job. My son (drummer) and I (guitarist) were debating how this beat was played...and now we know. Thanks for the video.
I pretty much copied Liberty DeVito’s drum part … thanks for watching
Great job! That was my wedding song!
Thanks for the feedback Aaron! It’s a fun song to play!

Is your kit a Yamaha Recording Series sounds great 👍😂❤️
Thanks for watching … no it’s an old 1979 Gretsch drum kit.
Yeah, man! GREAT feel on this! Love your brush work! Very nice, and heartfelt. Happy drumming, brother!
Thanks for watching Blake! 😀👍🏻🤘🏻🙏🏻
Beautiful! I don’t have the brush stick. Can I use normal sticks and just hit the closed hi hat? Sorry, beginner here.
Thanks for watching. I’m sure that would work. I was trying to play it close the original! Thanks!
Was brushes really used on the actual track?
Patrio … yes! Liberty DeVitto, the original drummer, demonstrates it in a few videos on UA-cam.
That was so cool!! It never crossed my mind to play it with a brush. That was very creative! Did Liberty do that too?
Yes, Liberty played it with a brush and a stick. I played it for years more of a hi hat groove, but I saw him demonstrate it at a drum clinic where he said all drummers play this one wrong! Then he play it this way! Crazy! Thanks for watching

@@earldrum ok thanks. Good to know!
Did you read circus magazine for the drum tabs?
No, I figure it out by ear and I saw Liberty DeVito play it at a drum clinic. I don’t use drum tabs, but I can read drum charts.
Would you share your musoc sheet please?
Sorry, no sheet music for this one. I play it by ear!
앞으로 이분꺼만 열심히 볼껍니당ㅋ
Thanks for the feedback my friend! I hope it helps you learn that part! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
