You know what I'm talking about. It's that song that you & your bandmates have played for what seems like every night for 20 years. You can play the song in...
"...So what song is that to you & your band? For me, I think it would have to be "Mustang Sally". Free Bird, hands down. Or just generally someone in the...
I sometimes play with a classic hits band whose original members have been together for about twenty five years. We do Alice Cooper's "Is It My Body," the Joe...
Ok, two sides to ponder. I agree, if you're playing a cover tune, it can get monotonous...but on the other hand, if a band has a "hit", one that helped make...
I don't play in a cover band 'per se' anymore, but even in an indie band, we still end up playing a show at a bar where we need to play covers. here is my...
While I can certainly understand how some songs can get to be boring, I've got a couple of other thoughts about this. Most of the songs that have been listed...
I agree with Marv on this. It's often the songs that the drummer hates the most that gets the best response or get the crowd going. I don't have any that I...
There are a couple of this you can do to relieve the boredom. Change the style. As an example, Instead of vanilla generic Mustang Sally, play Mustang Sally as...
This is a video from the show "time warp". They take high speed video and slow it way down. This one is from a very solid drummer. He has excellent chops but...
Very true, you should just be enjoying that you're playing something that bring joy to millions... Other than that, maybe you could convince your bandmates to...
I cannot believe that none of us has mentioned 'Wipeout' yet. The average listener typically thinks that represents drumming to the nth degree. We still have...
it's not how simple a song is that makes it beneath me, it's that i'm tired of playing it altogeher :) there are some very simple songs that i still love...
Right Eric. That is how this thread started. The one I hate playing the most is "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" by Georgia Sattelites. Anything by Mellencamp or...
Good point, Marv. There's no law that says that you can't "change up" a far-too-often-played-song, in order to help keep it fresh to the band. Seems most of...
"...It's not how simple a song is that makes it beneath me, it's that I'm tired of playing it altogether..." Exactly! I don't consider ANY song "beneath me"....
Nothing compared to WEDDING MARCH...I play it for over 11 years...maybe 100 times a year,,,,LOL www.cintiaorlandi.com www.myspace.com/cintiaorlandi Hugs...
I pretty much have to play all the songs mentioned except for Born To Be Wild and we play alot of "Biker Bars". I don't know how I escaped it, just lucky I...
... *THANK YOU! thank you...and TNX! I thought it was JUST ME!? What IS it about playing his tunes? I don't know? I just HATE to! ;-)* ** -- --SMC Productions,...
... I do the same thing. Ever find yourself suddenly doing "surfing bird" in the middle of that solo? (meaning the "Oo-papa-oo-ma-mow-mow-oo-papa-oo-mow-mow"...
Hi Scot, lol neil young is supposed to be a canadian rock icon, but i could never stand his music. btw, i just clicked to become a fan of your page on...
Hi there, It would be fair to say that I'm not fast with the foot in terms of playing the kick drum. So it when I was practicing a tune (Talking Heads - but...
Ian.... it is my humble opinion that you should master both the heel up and the heel down technics. There are situations that call for either. The song you...
Hey Ian, It sounds to me like what you've "stumbled" across is part of the heel/toe action some people use when they play double strokes on the bass drum. If...
Drummers can play double strokes with their hands, whether they let the sticks bounce or do it with the hands. Why not both methods with the feet? I've spent...
I have seen this technique on youtube.? I couldn't?see what he was doing because he was going so fast but this is the technique he was using.? Sort of twisting...
