    I think the genius of this drum solo lies in the fact that the tune and rythym is simplistic and you can’t get the tune out of your mind.it’s addictive

    Ron Bushy really doesn’t get enough credit for this drum solo!

      Maybe not publicity but his solo is drum history for many of us. Thanks for sharing!

    Who didn't play this drum solo on their desks in school?

    My brother was with Iron Butterfly the last year they were together. when the band parted ways, he brought Ron Bushy , to our family home in Portland. I was only 11 , but I remember him. He was a very impressive photographer.
    He wasn’t recognized enough, for his drum solo. He was a cool guy.

    I've seen, over the years, a lot of ppl saying Bushy barely had any talent/ability.
    What I find -- as a music fan who plays no instrument -- is that this band/song/drummer is wildly enjoyable bc
    1. It was perfect for the times
    2. It is perfect for the song
    3. It is moving, visceral, and hypnotic
    4. It tells a real "story"
    I loved it then, and love it all these 53 years later.

    This solo has beautiful, hypnotic flow. It takes you to another place. And then that Bach organ coming in. I was driving at night in the rain to this back in ‘67. It’s a moment I’ll never forget. ❤

    It's not how hard it is to play but how easy is it to remember. This drum solo from the record, is a musical composition with some repetitive hooks and interesting changes, as opposed to a "Hey look what I can do" type solo.

    Garey - Some of Bushy's best stuff came in the interplay between him and Doug Ingle in the nest three minutes. Can you do an edit and let the it continue for just a bit? I know it's a duet and not a solo, but Bushy is the lead and Doug is the accompaniment for sure. (Sorry to come so late to the party, but I am just experiencing a personal Iron Butterfly revival. I listened to them on AM radio back in the olden days!)

    This is, of course, the most famous drum solo. However, there is a second, and just as intense, passage toward the end (around the 14 minute mark) that's not quite a solo but might as well be! Both are sooooo intense!

    You do realize this is the solo is from the record and he is miming the solo ... he is not playing this live? Great solo, but he never played it the same way twice. This is a great solo and song for its time.

    Seen them perform in 69 at the ASU Activity Center. We weren't really sure why except for the smoke in there was so heavy you could barely see and there was a lot of interesting things going around for making the trip. Anyway as Ron bushy was doing a extended version and he passed out. Although my memory is a little vague. I seen them years later at the celebrity theater were they not only did the entire In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida but Butterfly Bleu as well. That was an excellent concert. Butterfly Bleu has a smaller drum solo as well. And for most it was the first time hearing a talk box which was used extensively. That would be on the metamorphosis album.
    Myself it was the second time. Glen Campbell of all people was the first I heard use it. That was on a talk show where he introduced everyone to the new toy.

    A relitively simple looking drum solo that is a little harder when it goes on for 13 minutes. My senior year in high school, the school band did an entire halftime show, complete with a full trap set, with the extended arrangement of this great song. It was kick a, well you know. I was dead tired at the end of the show. It was then I decided I was no Ron Bushy.

    Personally, I dug the drum solo but I recall reading about the time when Led Zeppelin opened for Iron Butterfly and when it came time for Ron’s drum solo, John Bonham was beside himself laughing.

    In my limited opinion, Peter Criss took that concept to the next level, with his drum solos in Kiss, in the 70’s. Ron Bushy is a good drummer, but I think Peter may have been a little bit better? I’m not bashing anyone, with those comments, either. The world is big enough for all kinds of drumming. Take care, dudes!

    • @DrumsetArtistry
      @DrumsetArtistry  3 роки тому +4

      Better is personal taste, like food. I'm guessing that Peter's solo was inspired by Ron's. Thanks for sharing!

    Every teenager in the late sixties/early seventies could play this solo, either by hand or with pencils.
    I know I had it down pretty good.

    Okay hold the bus first off I'm not a drummer but this was all acted out for the video with that said it is one of the most underrated drum solos ever anyway.....

    With all due respect to John Bonham, Bushy's drum solo is far better than Bonham's two attempts of drum solos.

  • @joetrudellmajesticrhythms7269

    is it just me or does it look like he's playing over an overdubbed recording, some of the hits don't match up. and that much tape usually indicates quite video recording.

      Jo is the world's
      Grand daddy of modern Drumming and still never surpassed
      And Ron sounds a lot like Joe!
