What a wonderful night .. after 22 years apart, these urban hillbillies reunited again - and fell right into our special porch music we first created summer evenings on Mt.Helix. Steve Peavey (guitar) is currently on tour with the legendary Dwight Yoakam, and still performs with Johnny Mathis and the Grand Ol' Opry. The mighty Eduardo Estrada (bass) is production manager for the San Diego Symph...

Now that my health has stabilized a bit, I'm back behind the kit .. only this time it's configured as a tribute to the Professor, Neil Peart! While I was recovering late last year, I started prowling the web looking for pieces to be able to configure my drums into a 'phantom' set - the unphotographed Yamaha he tested for several days before ultimately deciding to leave Tama for Ludwig.

Chincha by Strunz &Farah. First attempt after five year hiatus from the drums. The song is in 9/8. If I ever get my chops back, I'll upload a better version!

      Point taken! I'll listen when not behind the kit, and do it again for you (honestly, I'm just happy to be alive and playing again, so I tend to over-do things out of pure exuberance lately). For really faithful playthroughs, there's a fine young man named Colin Williams here on RUclips (he even uses nice vintage kits). Thanks for the comment, and thank you for not hitting the thumbs-down.

      I actually have two 4 piece kits on each side of this one - different tools for different jobs. One is for my low volume 'porch music' band (watch the "Going Home - Reunion 2022" video my wife snuck of us) .. the other is my new fave I put together for latin fusion/nuevo flamenco that's 10", 14", 16"kick and a 12" Remo Mondo snare. If you check back in a while, I'll have some videos up of it. Do you play professionally? Love to see your work if I can :)

    Very nice playing, buddy . I like your setup. Your cymbals look and sound great. That drummer who was playing across from you did a much better job. He had more control and better technique, and his drums sounded amazing, especially that cool snare drum, lol.😊 Best wishes, and Merry Christmas.

      @GrampaPlaysDrums , HI Gramps, lol. That's hilarious. I think the older we get, the more we learn. Just when I think my drums are finally tuned to my liking, I remember the little things that i once heard about, learned, or even firgured out on my own, and I suddenly have a new tone, or pitch that I prefer and want to experiment with. I guess perfection doesn't like to hang around for too long, lol. Hey, tell that drummer who plays across from you that he is just an old copycat. Lol. Keep Rockin', Glen

    @emmauspraise The Paiste Sound Discs I use are available mainly through special order (Guitar Center, Sam Ash, etc).

    Great cover please keep up the good work. I like to see people playing the song how it was done and not making up things and saying well i put my own twist on it. If your going to do that don't call it a cover. But you did great. Sorry about going off on a rant.

  • @GrampaPlaysDrums
    @GrampaPlaysDrums 15 лет назад

    I know, I did it just like your videos ... it was simply recorded with the built in mic on the video camera, and the stereo behind me cranked to a measured 95 decibels. I have earplugs in, and Howard Leight shotgun ear muffs on the plugs. No in-ear or headphones - I have severe tinnitus, so I'm reducing the drums and backing music by 55db. When I'm playing, the stereo and the drums sound very far away to say the least.
