  • "Hell's Bells" is a Prog Rock Fusion piece by Bill Bruford from his album One of a Kind released in 1979. The album features Bill Bruford (drums), Allan Holdsworth (guitar), Jeff Berlin (bass) and Dave Stewart (keyboards). This tune has some cool but tricky time signatures (19/16, 7/4, 7/8) that are fun to navigate. Bruford is using his classic Roto Tom kit so I had to break out my one and only Roto Tom and it was also a challenge to lock in with Bill's signature snare drum sound. I hope you enjoy it.

    Bill Bruford always has a way of making odd time sound natural , but what gets me is his rolls are almost always an odd number !! Nice playing as always Larry !!

      I had the same problem as a bass player. Should have stuck to Donald 'Duck' Dunn. Jeff Berlin.

    Excellent cover and transcription! Would I be correct in saying the main riff is 19/16 time? 1 bar of 4/4 + 3 x 16th notes?

    • @masterfuldrumming8408
      @masterfuldrumming8408  Рік тому

      Hi Jim. Thank you for checking out my video. Yes, you are correct 19/16, think of a bar of 4/4 and then add 3 16th's! All the best. Larry

      @@masterfuldrumming8408 I saw Allan play the iou material in the half moon pub in putney in 1980. There he was, a unique ground breaking genius. So different & advanced technically & musically compared to other players it was if he was from another planet of super humans. Yet I don't think it was even a full house.

    I am listening to Bill Bruford my whole life. Solo, all the bands he did. Seen him live a few times. You did a fantastic job! Not many drummers covering Bruford. Perhaps you could do Presto Vivace from the UK album. I would love to see that. Thanks for this video.
