  • War Pigs has been on my list to cover for a while. Bill Ward was a jazz drummer that found his place in a Heavy metal band. He had such a great approach to so many Sabbath songs but this one is my favorite.
    What I did on this one was remove the original drum track and did my own interpretation of the song. This was a blast to do. Enjoy.
    And thanks to my wife for her help with filming.
    This was recorded (In the basement of my mothers house. jk) with Sennheiser mics, a 421 on the floor tom and RODE M3 on the Hi Hat. Mixed live through a 16 ch Mackie Mixer with a stereo output to a sound devices. Mastered and compressed with original track in Protools and edited in IMovie.
    Yamaha Birch Custom Absolute.

    I noticed that on some of black sabbath songs the drums are heavy on the 1. it's almost like the whole band is heavy on the 1. I thought some parts of there songs were a bit funky. Like James Brown funky. I could be wrong. at about 2:13 they are slamming on the 1. Drummers, music teachers, cause it sounds too funky and I love it. Please someone let me know

    • @adamjohnston2311
      @adamjohnston2311  2 роки тому

      Yes true. The one is very heavy with a big foot bass drum kick. It really sets the tone for the song.
