if you still playing 9 yrs later. Post more covers man. For people trying to learn through videos not drum books. This cover is exactly what i’m looking for you to learn this song
Seriously there are zero flaws. Not even any in the musicality of it. Amazing technical performance, groove, time, feel, creativity, just everything. PERFECTION!
Damn dude! I've been listening to Frank since I was four years old; never been able to figure this song out. Good chopping bro. You damn nailed it! I love it. KEEP IT COMING!
So glad your dad shared this link with me. Graham you are one fine drummer and the kit you are playing is excellent. Hats off to Shaw percussion and the music you and your family make.
Wow Graham! Amazing job, the fact that you could even figure it out is amazing, but your performance is also fantastic. Such a great Zappa tune too. Coincidentally, this song has been stuck in my head for the past four days!
The original album, Overnight Sensation featured, I believe, drummer Ralph Humphrey, a very technical and IMHO underrated drummer. I wore out to copies of this album. Ahh 1973.
This deserves WAY more views. A zappa drum cover has got to be one of the more difficult choices. The drumming in his music is perfectly arranged! Major kudos to you man, keep rocking!
Very nice work on a typically complex Zappa tune which is up there in my "favorites" list. You have a great ear and excellent, tight, succinct execution! Great job. I'm a fellow drummer and Zappa fan and have been for 48 years! Frank, his incredible bands and his drummers were a huge influence to me coming up from twelve years old to today! Keep the Zappa covers coming please! The Shaw drums sound excellent too by the way!
VERY fricken groovy Graham!! Now, with zero disrespect to Nadav Rogel here, quints or sexts don't really matter when you know where you're going and can dish out the chops to the '1' like that! :) Sometimes overlay covers can be a bit boring (perhaps predictable is the better term?) and it's nice to see someone interpret things a little differently, of course while remaining in context. Your cover was excellent!
o0Zappa0o Thanks so much!! I'm still kicking myself for missing those quints haha but yeah, I was just in the zone and feelin' it, the rest of that take felt so good it seemed a shame to toss it out over that. I really gotta do more of these, Yellow Snow Suite next? Fifty-fifty?
Oh it's definitely still here and making noise on the regular! I'm actually doing quite a bit of session work from home for a few local artists. Also working on ideas for some instructional videos in the new year, so hopefully there will be some new stuff to check out soon!
The tuning on those drums is amazing!

Amazing
Nice playing... just wow
Incredible
Awesome!
Whole new way to look at one of my favorite Zappa tunes - thanks!
Wow, awesome.
I'm a little late to the party. DAMN FINE JOB!
Seriously there are zero flaws. Not even any in the musicality of it. Amazing technical performance, groove, time, feel, creativity, just everything. PERFECTION!
Wow man thanks a lot!! I've really got to do more of these, any other songs you'd want to hear me do?
@@grahamshaw6085 if you enjoy frank zappa you should do saint alfanzos pancake breakfast/father oblivion
Damn dude! I've been listening to Frank since I was four years old; never been able to figure this song out. Good chopping bro. You damn nailed it! I love it. KEEP IT COMING!
Groovy! Sounds pretty 70s.
one of my favorite songs. amazing job coming from one percussionist to another.
Holy s**t man the drum playing just never settles down. Okay maybe during the solo for a bit but even that’s settling down only by Zappa standards.

Absolutely smokin’ performance ~ Very inspirational… it’s great to SEE what I’ve been listening to all those years! Thanks for posting!
Excellent job. Great stuff.
Love what you did with this song. Great feel...just loved it!
I could watch this all day.
O M G !!

Awesome Rendition. Also my favourite Zappa tune.
very nice, i think humphreys had a similar beard when he recorded this song with Zappa! do 'St alphonzos pancake breakfast' next PLEASE!!!!

Brendan Hunt I agree this is really strong
You're a good drummer, Graham. Well done!
herbie kritzer “good” is the biggest understatement ever uttered, lol
Hell yeah
Awesome! You did this so well and drums sound perfectly tuned for the Zombie Woof! Great job...thank you!
One of my favorite Zappa songs, really awesome job! :D

Excellent Job
Very good cover sir.
Amazing stuff
Well done!!! B-R-A-V-O!!!
wow! awesome drumming!
Hey, REALLY GREAT! You should post more of your drumming videos.
Great job!
Nailed it
Awesome Sauce.
Graham, that’s excellent! What’s that heavily hammered crash on your right above your ride?
It's called a Hammerax Liquicy, the company is gone now but they pop up used on Reverb every once in a while.
nice job brother
Gooooooood!!!!!

Indeed you should do more!! Fifty-Fifty for starters! What a great song!!
Monstro.
Great!
WOW
Fuckin killer, man
Hope you're still playing strong man, and haven't had to sell that wonderful kit for rent
Oh it's definitely still here and making noise on the regular! I'm actually doing quite a bit of session work from home for a few local artists. Also working on ideas for some instructional videos in the new year, so hopefully there will be some new stuff to check out soon!
What kind of cymbals are those??
NICE
Dude you play real good, but you should play quintuplets with the band in unison and not sextuplets! it's even more fun!
+nadav rogel Hey would you elaborate on what you mean? Thanks!
Can I buy you a beer
Arf, Arf.........arf ARF
inspiring for a wannabe like me. too few notes on a 4 pc.kit? not every song needs a Vinnie Colaiuta
It's zomby not zombie
5/2 fills..not whatever that was you conjured up.
