Roger Hawkins “Dew Drop Inn” Little Richard - Drum Cover

Roger Hawkins kills it on this Little Richard tune. This is a workout and still a work in progress for me. This intro was clearly a nod to the famous intro on the 1958 Richard tune “Keep A Knockin.” It’s said that John Bonham’s intro on “Rock and Roll” was influenced by the “Keep A Knockin” intro. I also wonder if Bonham had heard this more recent intro by Hawkins and found inspiration there. “Dew Drop Inn” was released in 1970, one year before “Rock and Roll.” One can only wonder.

[@PB-hy1qi]

Great drumming and sound...like it a lot! What snare drum you are using here? Is it just a normal Remo Ambassador head?

[@vintagedrummer79]

Thank you! It’s a 5x14 Ludwig Acrolite with a coated Ambassador.

Could ya cover These two songs please
1.Little Lover by Acdc
2.Jailbreak by ACDC

[@vintagedrummer79]

Hey there, I don’t mean to come off mean spirited but you’ve asked me many many times to cover acdc and my answer is always the same, I don’t care for that band. So, the answer is no. I only play stuff that I like. Thank you for watching though.
