Awesome work. Ringo Starr loved the drumming on 'What'd I Say', so he patterned his drumwork on The Beatles' 'I Feel Fine' after it.

[@chrisbates3117]

I never knew that! It’s good to know some history of the groove which led to Ringo doing what he did on I Feel Fine. Glad you enjoyed my cover.

Underrated, this is incredible and unbelievably awesome.
Ray charles would be proud, so as his band's drummer.

Hi Chris, wow i have 1 day off from youtube and you up load 8 songs ...ha dont know how you do it. Fantastic

[@chrisbates3117]

What can I say? I just can’t get enough of entertaining people with my videos. I just have way too much fun with it while I have the time to practice.

[@TonySerioDrums]

Very nice! I like the way you tuned the rack tom to the key of the song!

[@chrisbates3117]

Tuning it that way was unintentional, but after dampening the heads, I knew it sounded like the key of the song as well. I’m glad you noticed.

How difficult is this to play on a scale of 1 to 10?

[@chrisbates3117]

Given the fact that it was a Faux Mambo and it was a basic concept of the 50s, I’d rate the difficulty of this song at a 4.

@@chrisbates3117 Great work. Thanks for the great content.
