  • Hey everyone! My new album 'Copenhagen Girl' is out now!
    Give it a listen :) hyperurl.co/copenhagengirl
    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 .

      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!

      My dad and I had the same connection from this song as well.. he loved watching the live video of all of them playing together. Your not alone man. I know it's a 4 year later response, but I hope you are doing well 👍

    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!!

  • @borayurt66
    @borayurt66 5 лет назад

    I've watched most of your videos, and this one is the best mic setup so far. Perfectly balanced, nothing stands out or disappears among all. Please keep this setup.

    I like to listen to real music. I was reading Proverbs, and this kept trying to sneak it's way into my mind. And I can say that this is a very nice song to have stuck in your head.

    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🤘🏼

Jammed with literly hundreds of drummers thru the years, and i have played this song hundreds of times as well and with so many drummers .. And the band i currently play in now does it too... I think that kinda qualifies me too make a fairly accurate & respectful opinion of drummers and drummers playing this song... And with that being said... Absolute Respect to you brother, That was Spot on in my opinion dood... You could sit in Right now today with "Lynyrd Skynyrd" themselves and play it like a fkn pro... Guess what im trying to say is, Awesome job my rock&roll brother... Awesome Job indeed....
