...and the drum fill at 1:30 is the most exciting moment in the history of rock IMHO - it's just ahead of the beat and it creates a tension with the synth track which gives me chills every time I hear it.
I feel like Keith Moon paved the way for most modern drumming. He was really one of the first drummers to bring a harder and faster style to the mainstream.
@@MM-lp5pp What do you mean by “modern”? I ask because in jazz, many sight Sid Catlett and later Kenny Clarke and Max Roach as taking the instrument beyond its original swing timekeeping role. It’s all very subjective though.
Now a right old grumpy old 'git' aged 70, who in the 70s often saw The WHO live and grew up on their music, even now, I find a great way of burning calories is to do my boxing exercising often lasting 30-45mins to him drumming. I truly wish I could have resisted how in my time, I would not end up like my father and grandfather pretty much hatting young people and even more so the music now (well what they call music) so when I see on UA-cam videos as you have done and many similar ones to my generation and our music, really pleases me and that there really is hope for teh future.
@@S2Sturges I don't like his drum sound on Quadrephenia, either. I'd have to look into it more, but I have a feeling he wasn't using bottom heads on his toms on that album. Snare isn't as crisp either.
I've been waiting for this drum sound recreation for a long time as a fan of Keith Moon and The Who themselves. Long live rock! Long live drums! And long live The Who!
@@Scott-ly2nk indeed and who's next era. But let's face it, not shabby on anything till after the Who by Numbers. From there it was downhill unfortunately.
There aren't many drummers around who could move each limb independently as a natural ability. He could just do it, without even thinking about it. That alone gave Keith some of his unique ability. His drum kit wasn't just stage jewellery, he used all of it. Anazing musician.
I saw KM 11 times. He was inimitable, unconventional and always so musical and entertaining. KM seldom repeated fills and his bass drum work is also fabulous. When one gets to know Keith's personality and quirks you can then understand his playing.
Great video and impressively authentical recreation of the drum sound. One minor detail: To the best of my knowledge, Moon used 3 14 inch Rack toms through out his career. It would have been interesting to have your take on his tuning 3 identical toms. Otherwise great video - thanks
I just told him about the tuning the center one is the highest then left and right. Glad to see another music buff pointing out important things like that.
One thing I've read about his earlier Premier kit and probably carried on to the later ones as well is that he had all three top 14x8 toms the same size but the middle one tuned high and the rest alternating in pitch so he basically just had to do a single stroke roll alternating between hands on either side down to the floors to nail a perfect decending fill... Clearly a guy flexing his brain!!
They called him Moon the Loon but I call him a Genius. No one else like him or ever will be. He successfully created his own unique and bombastic style which made him a super star and deservedly so. No amount of volume today could match his energy and dynamics. RIP.
Thursday, November 22, 1973 (Thanksgiving night), The Who at The Forum in Inglewood (Los Angeles). If you were there, I need not say any more. The ONE.
My favorite crazy story about Keith Moon is that he'd get so into playing _Tommy_ live that, if he sensed the audience was getting bored, he'd stop playing and scream "STOP LAUGHING! THIS IS A F***ING OPERA!"
When i got my first cd player I wanted the first cd played on it to be somthing special. The store didnt have Dark side of the moon. But they did have Who's Next. They still my two favorite albums.
If you have the chance, I highly recommend seeing the one man show about Keith called “The Real Me” written and performed by Mick Berry. It just played in Berkeley, CA and is going to play in NYC this fall.
Good sound, but in the very first phrase of Baba O'Reilly, you can hear that Keith does a very characteristic triplet flick -- either with his two bass drums, or with his bass drum and floor tom -- and it just gives Keith's entry a slightly musical 'lift.' Keith did this triplet flick a lot, sometimes on his snare, and sometimes with his bass drums. Pascal missed this, which means that unlike Keith, Pascal wasn't really using his two kick drums. He might as well have just had one kick drum.
It's with great gratitude that you've done Keith Moon! Will you do a drum sound video on Bill Ward of Black Sabbath? Or a drum sound video on Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe? I would love to see you guys recreate those drum sounds!
He played 3 14inch rack toms. I always found that weird because myself and most drumers play different sized rack toms esp 3 rack toms usually 10,12,13. Seems like having 3 toms of the same size, like 3 14s, would defeat the purpose because they're going to put out the same tone.. unless you tune one higher and one lower, but it's still 3 14inch toms same sizes and depth. Im not sure why you left the bass pedal off the left bass drum because he did play double bass, but not in the traditional heavy metal double bass sense. He would play two different bass patterns simultaneously which is crazy and do crazy paradiddle patterns with both bass drums. Roger Daltrey did an interview explaining how Keith would play the bass drums and play the drums along to Rogers vocal delivery.
Very good! I loved Keith a lot that what he brought to that band was always fitting. Please do one on Neil Peart. Us Rush fans are chomping at the bit!
I saw Mitch Mitchell with Hendrix in summer of 67 at Bolton Odeon in the days of package tours. Cat Stevens was on with Engelbert Humperdink And The Walker Brothers top of the bill, strange times indeed but brilliant.
Ok, so I'm a bit older than I'd like to admit. I grew up listening to this music and drumming along to it when I was a kid. Played professionally for years and had a good run. Made a bit of money too. Thank you Pascal (?) for taking me back to that place.....you know....that thing that made me pick up the sticks for the first time. Very well done. Thank you. Who inspired you to start drumming Pascal?
You seem to have missed one of the most unique things about his drumming, that is how he often played fills and kick drum over the bar. On many songs he'd play the kick and end it on 1 or 1 an. Very unique for the time and still today. Yet never lost the rhythm!
Keith's rack toms were all the same size during the period from 1967 to 1971-72. Me, being into The Who since 1980. Good job, it sounded pretty bloody close.
Glad there was a slight shuffle to the ride on my generation, this was done a lot on those days, lots of chuck berry songs has that feel as well , very cool
I think you missed out on an iconic Keith kit in between these two periods. His early 70s Premier “Pictures of Lily” kit was quite different, with larger diameter, shallow toms rather than the deep, small-diameter modern design.
Keith Moon is one of my favourites. I drum using my wrists more, so my cymbals are as high as my mounted toms.. Watching Moon flailing his arms like an Octopus is just beautiful and brilliant
Mike Portnoy once did a WHO cover band and tour, in the video he said he wanted to be as 'authentic' as possible...it was then that he learned Moon didn't have the Hi-hat in his kit. Portnoy said it was a real challenge to play that kit, sort of reinventing his own tendencies. Now, I don't put Moon in the same league or ability as Portnoy...but it does say something pretty astounding about Moon He was either WAY ahead of his time or so unique that even versatile and highly capable drummers have trouble adapting to him.
Saw him with the band in '75 during their 10th anniversary tour. Blown Away! Keith was always my favorite drummer. But they did NOT destroy instruments...Little disappointed.
Awesome video. I suggest that you should recreate some drum sounds like Jeff Simon of George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Sib Hashian of Boston, Matt Sorum of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, Tommy Ramone of the Ramones, Joe Butler of The Lovin Spoonful, Tomas Haake and Chris Adler
Not bad. But do not get, why you didn’t make full use of the double bass set-up? Keith played double bass since 1966 and mastered it. On Who’s Next it’s present all the time…
Can you please do a video on the snare drum sound of Barracuda? Michael Derosier used a 14x6.5 Ludwig Supraphonic 402. This is my favorite snare drum recording sound. I think I have mine sounding the same. I want to see how you end up setting it up and tuning it. I use a drum dial. 92-Top, 85-Bottom seems to be the tuning on Barracuda. Did I get it right? Very curious.
Baba O Reilly never ceases to give me chills. Every. Single. Time.
The opening lyrics are just perfect
Oh yes. And The arpeggiator synths are soo essential on Whos'Next album. They somehow bring Back all the good memories from those days..
...and the drum fill at 1:30 is the most exciting moment in the history of rock IMHO - it's just ahead of the beat and it creates a tension with the synth track which gives me chills every time I hear it.
Mi
The first 10 million listens...Now I just turn it off.
I feel like Keith Moon paved the way for most modern drumming. He was really one of the first drummers to bring a harder and faster style to the mainstream.
That’s very true from a historical point. He was in many ways the first “heavy rock” or “rock” style drummer.
His drum part isn't recognized enough on "I can see for Miles" it was very unique for the time.
@@MM-lp5pp What do you mean by “modern”? I ask because in jazz, many sight Sid Catlett and later Kenny Clarke and Max Roach as taking the instrument beyond its original swing timekeeping role. It’s all very subjective though.
@@MM-lp5pp Well, Duke Ellington’s drummers were Sam Woodyard and Louis Bellison were using double bass drum kits back in the 50’s.
@@MM-lp5pp😂 but Moon was first
Not only sounds like Keith Moon.... he also looks like him !!!!! Awesome job !!!

People often overlook how great his drums sounded. Who's Next drum sound is phenomenonal.
Happy Jack has a real unique clatter to it, it was one of my first 'favourite songs' and the song that introduced me to Keith Moon.
Yet on Quadrophenia, Entwhistle described Keith's drums as sounding "like biscuit tins" .... I didn't think they they were that bad, but....
@@S2Sturges I don't like his drum sound on Quadrephenia, either. I'd have to look into it more, but I have a feeling he wasn't using bottom heads on his toms on that album. Snare isn't as crisp either.
Tommy drum sounds are great to.
Man Keith's style on Who's Next seems like the funnest way to drum ever
I've been waiting for this drum sound recreation for a long time as a fan of Keith Moon and The Who themselves.
Long live rock!
Long live drums!
And long live The Who!
Moon was a musical savant. The way he played in the ensemble on Quadrophenia is brilliant and adds so much to the emotion of the album.
For me he was like an Elvin Jones in terms of always knowing where 1 was but stretching and contracting the meter with chops...
Totally. Quadrophenia has his best drumming more or less.
Totally agree. His art was at zenith on Quadrophenia. I
His best drumming was the quudraphenia

So Glad I Saw Him 1 Time ...
God Blessed The WHO

Love Keith Moon! He was one of my first drummer idols! Who Are You was the standard to which I aspired as a 15 year old drummer. That song kicks ass!
It's always cracked me up that he tossed the hi hat -- who needs it! -- and replaced it with another CRASH. Classic Moon.
Keith lives! Cheers Pascal, well done! 🥁 🔊

Amazing and thanks - I never realised he played w/o a Hi-Hat - so novel!

My favorite Keith Moon drum sets are on the songs The Rock and Going Mobile...
Loving The tape of the headphones Keith Moon style!!! nice touch.
Thursday, November 22, 1973 (Thanksgiving night), The Who at The Forum in Inglewood (Los Angeles). If you were there, I need not say any more. The ONE.
Moon and the keyboard really drive this track, the high end attack and low end bass drum are superb
Fantastic job!!! Bravo! You nailed the drum sound and playing Pascal.
You guys did such a good job on this, the sound and the playing is dead-on!
Very nice to see some love for Keith Moon.
Moon played British premier brums. And very proud to do so.
The Keith Moon drum sound was great. Those Pearl drums were fantastic sounding. wow...
My favorite crazy story about Keith Moon is that he'd get so into playing _Tommy_ live that, if he sensed the audience was getting bored, he'd stop playing and scream "STOP LAUGHING! THIS IS A F***ING OPERA!"
I’m too old to start trying to play the drums but I came across your channel and I must say you do fantastic work. Well done gentleman.
Dude I gotta say you look allot like Kieth Moon! Great informative vid on achieving his sound. Thanks for channelling his drumming spirit with this 👍🥁
Dude, you are one HELL of a player! Unbelievable!
Absolutely great job!!! You even look like him!😊 Keep it up!
When i got my first cd player I wanted the first cd played on it to be somthing special. The store didnt have Dark side of the moon. But they did have Who's Next. They still my two favorite albums.
Moon is the coolest punk rock drummer that never played punk
Excellent. Another tracks you could recreate certainly are We Won’t get fool again , i can’t explain, and substitute😉

Yeah they really did not get this right…
We’ll done! Very well done. You really captured his sound in both eras. 👍🏻👍🏻
Very good! I loved Keith a lot that what he brought to that band was always fitting.
Please do one on Neil Peart. Us Rush fans are chomping at the bit!
When you watch the early Fly By Night video, you'll see the Keith Moon influence prominent in Neil Peart's drumming style.
I saw Mitch Mitchell with Hendrix in summer of 67 at Bolton Odeon in the days of package tours. Cat Stevens was on with Engelbert Humperdink And The Walker Brothers top of the bill, strange times indeed but brilliant.
Good job with the sound of the drums. Although I knew Moon was not really a hi-hat guy, I never thought he would go with completely without a hi-hat.
love the recent choices! keep up the good work
Does anyone else think Pascal looks like Keith Moon, or just me?
Great Video as Always!
Hope see a Kiss Drumers Video Especially Eric Singer one!
Ok, so I'm a bit older than I'd like to admit. I grew up listening to this music and drumming along to it when I was a kid. Played professionally for years and had a good run. Made a bit of money too. Thank you Pascal (?) for taking me back to that place.....you know....that thing that made me pick up the sticks for the first time. Very well done. Thank you.
Who inspired you to start drumming Pascal?
Love the Helge Schneider shirt!
Nobody can copy Keith Moon... 👍 He's one a of a kind...
Indeed. Like nobody can copy Jim Morrison.
This guy gave it a great go!
i love it and the kit too the sound is accurate and the playing of Pascal is top tier thank you
Class this 👍
I was meaning to suggest a Keith Moon drum sound video. Thank you so much! Freakin awesome!
In many photos of Keith Moon I saw that he also used coated drumhead as the resonant on the toms. Is Remo Ambassador always coated?
Fantastic and spot on!
Fantastic!!! I've been waiting for this video. Keith Moon is my great inspiration as a drummer.
Wow, you really sound like Keith. Didn't know that was possible.
You must do Ginger Baker.
20"x 11" Bass (right foot)
22"x 11" Bass (left foot)
12x8" & 13x9" top toms
14x14" & 16x14" floor toms
Spot on as usual!
You seem to have missed one of the most unique things about his drumming, that is how he often played fills and kick drum over the bar. On many songs he'd play the kick and end it on 1 or 1 an. Very unique for the time and still today. Yet never lost the rhythm!

🎵🎼🎶 Yo! The guy behind the kit is JAMMIN'!!! Well Done. His groove on those songs are STUPID!! KEEP ROCKING!!
Glad there was a slight shuffle to the ride on my generation, this was done a lot on those days, lots of chuck berry songs has that feel as well , very cool
Terrific work.
Aww, man! I was waiting for the drum fill back in after the vocal solo!
Ya'll just keep slammin' these out of the park!
I think you missed out on an iconic Keith kit in between these two periods. His early 70s Premier “Pictures of Lily” kit was quite different, with larger diameter, shallow toms rather than the deep, small-diameter modern design.
Agree, not really accurate
Killed it all the way .Well done guys.
my new favorite youtube video

Wow finally🎉
Keith Moon is one of my favourites.
I drum using my wrists more, so my cymbals are as high as my mounted toms..
Watching Moon flailing his arms like an Octopus is just beautiful and brilliant
Moon = Premier Drums
That was an excellent drummer and recreation very impressive
LOL!!! Using the gaffer tape!!! Would LOVE to hear Pascal play "Can You See the Real Me"!!!!! That'd be a good challenge
The best Who song is "can't explain"
Great work- sounded quite good!⚡️
Going from John Dolmayan to Moon the Loon, I love it
Will they do Bill Ward of Black Sabbath?
@@nikolaiplotnikov7243 I think they have but I'm not sure to be honest, but if not that's another dude I'd love to see

Dead on the only thing you missed would be blowing up the bass drum at the end of the video with a half a stick of dynamite lol!
fucking love the tape round the headphones ahahaha, fully authentic
I would love to see abe cunningham from deftones It would fit with korn and system and he has a very unique sound
I hope the removal of the tape was harmless to Pascal 😅
Great video as always!!!
Great stuff. I'd love a video on Jimmy Chamberlain! Thanks for everything you do.
Awesome🤘🏼🔥🔥
Awesome video. I suggest that you should recreate some drum sounds like Jeff Simon of George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Sib Hashian of Boston, Matt Sorum of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, Tommy Ramone of the Ramones, Joe Butler of The Lovin Spoonful, Tomas Haake and Chris Adler
The GOAT!

Just love the channel. I would like to ask everyone if a Premier nowadays might be a good purchase...
The gaf tape on the phones. lolol
Perfect!
Insanely good!!!
Great video. I thought Moon used all 13 in. Rack toms and just tuned them a little different.
Great job as ever! You got the sound, but I’m pretty sure baba oreilly was mic ed with the Glynn johns setup rather than close mics.
Moonie was the most unique drummer for sure!

Great video as always. i would love a levon helm video or a mitch mitchell video if you can.
I’ll second that. 👍👍
FINALLY someone who seems to actually get Moon.
