  • Hey everyone! My new album 'Copenhagen Girl' is out now!
    Give it a listen :) hyperurl.co/cop...
    My name is Ewan Cunningham, I'm from Falkirk, Scotland. I'm an 18 year old, self taught musician. I started playing drums at the age of 4 and I'm now a multi-instrumentalist playing drums, guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals. I've been teaching myself to mix, record, film, edit and produce music since I was 10 years old and this is my passion.
    This is a drum cover of "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd from their 1973 album "Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd".
    ► Like my awesome "Wish You Were Here" t-shirt? I got it from RedBubble: shrsl.com/?gz3a ◄ Using this link helps me out by giving me a commission without costing you extra!
    I am a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, this has got to be one of my favorites! Their whole first album is loaded with some of their best work. Hope you enjoy my cover :-)

    I know everyone goes crazy over Freebird, but this is the best Skynyrd song. You nailed, it, bro! Great job .

    • @danehawk6367

      Agreed - Freebird is what LS is known for, but to me "Simple Man" is the quintessential Southern Rock song.

      For me the two best Skynyrd tunes are Simple Man and Tuesday's Gone. Skynyrd obviously has a large catalog of great songs but those two are stratospheric to me.

    This song was me and my Dads song. He passed on January 22, 2018 from cancer. This song makes me tear up everytime but it means so much to me. Killer Job dude!

    I've been playing Simple Man in a Southern rock cover band since 1990, and I have to say that Simple Man has changed a lot since then. I also started with the studio version and today I play more of one of the many live versions. Your cover is drummed so confidently. Hats off. The sound is also excellent. 👍👍🥁🥁

    Your like a machine bro!...spot on, and the audio sounds well balanced...Sure is soothing to hear Ronnie's voice!..Sadly such a tragic end to a band with so much talent that rose up to super stardom so quickly without any internet or youtube in there day..Epic they was!!

    I'm such a music freak that I no longer listen to regular videos of a song, I gotta really hear that fckn shit being layed down, sometimes it's with the guitar, other times the bass, and in this case it was the drums, and I was not disappointed, excellent work bro🤘🏼

    As a fellow drummer i recommend to work on some Candlebox. Great tempo changes and jazz rock. Arrow is mt favorite track to cover by Candlebox.
