Black Dog (Live) Drum Cover Adam Johnston

Black Dog is one of my favorite Zeppelin tunes. I chose the live version because of the energy and gusto. I also found an app the takes out the drum track so you can just hear what I'm doing over the music. I hope you enjoy the drum cover. Bonzo is the groove master.

Sorely missed well come back 👍

[@adamjohnston2311]

Thanks Jona! It's good to be back.

[@alanvaughan2937]

Great Job your Ride is incredible and so is your playing ...the album version is so much harder the drums never come in on the same Spot, they probably had somebody with Cue cards signaling when to come in after every breakdown LMAO it's timing from the Devil I tell YAA

[@adamjohnston2311]

Thanks Alan! You're right about the weird timing on the studio album too. LOL!

Saw a notification on RUclips, but didn’t expect this. Welcome Back! Also what editing software do you use, I’m wanting to do covers as well

[@adamjohnston2311]

Thanks! I use protools. The L7 ultra compressor I use makes a huge difference.

[@douglasevans5380]

Great job, Adam! And Props to the CameraWoman! All you guys trying to figure out his angles, software, mixing tricks, etc. are missing the key ingredient - ya ain't got no Sally on your team - sorry Bros... Have to say, I’m spoiled by all the super dynamic and amazing RUSH covers you have posted, so I really got going with this from 4:21 - the end. Keep Rocking, Dude!
p.s. What’s up with the black screens and all the tidying in the studio? Where’s that confounded fluore-green tape measure? Love you two!

[@adamjohnston2311]

All very Good points. Lol!
