Josie (Steely Dan) Drum Cover

- VERY VERY proud to post today's cover video which is by the one and only, Steely Dan and their killer track off the Aja album, "Josie." Folks, I've played some fun covers up to now. But this one is by far, THE video I am most proud of. Jim Keltner is a legend and one of Jeff Porcaro's influences. Jim's technicality and subtle nuances in this song are what makes it so much fun to play and so challenging to get "right." While I did not play Jim's part note for note, I wanted to add my own little bit of subtle flavor. I worked hard on the playing AND the mix. This was ONE take, no edits, no samples, no punch-ins. It also features my new Ludwig LM400 snare drum! That thing is BUTTER!! I hope you enjoy!!
I DO NOT own any copyright of this song. All copyright goes to Steely Dan, Walter Becker, Donald Fagen, et al.

Awesome! Nailed it.
Much appreciated. Loved covering this song!!
Mike, this is excellent!!! Takes me back to the summer of 78 hanging with friends and counting down the days until I left for Army basic. Great memories and I really think Jim would approve! Thanks Mike!!
Thanks Bob.... When I saw the final product, I couldn't wait to post it. This is, to date, my most favorite cover I've done yet. Steely Dan set the bar with the 'Aja' album!!
That is tight!!!! Nice job.
Much appreciated!!!!
Oh man this is next level, very good work sir! #goals
Very much appreciate the compliment. Jim Keltner is a legend and covering him is challenging but the end result was pretty cool!!! Stay tuned.
Yea that's tight man...great attention to detail. I haven't heard this song in a long time...makes me wanna fire up some Kid Charlamagne.
Thanks brother!! Can't wait to see you in August man. I really enjoyed spending the time to get the mix right along with doing justice to Jim Keltner... Such a blast!!
This is next level playing Mike. Phenomenal job, great song choice and your mix is spot on. That new snare sounds incredible also. You raised the bar with this video. Definitely one of my all-time top favorite drum covers. Bravo my friend! 🤜🤛
Thanks again Kenny. Your covers inspired me to take on this song man. I could not be happier with how this one turned out. Definitely my most technical and challenging mix yet. One doesn't do a Steely Dan tune half-heartedly.. Keltner is such a legend!🤩
