      From the subtle left hand comping on the snare to the tension created by restraint prior to the final explosive ending.

      Looking back, I should've worn jeans. I'm always wearing sweat pants around the house and when the mood strikes me, I just sit down and play. I always used to practice this tune years ago growing up. My mother really liked this tune and a few yrs before she passed away, she suggested that I post a video of this song. It's actually one of my more popular videos. I found this arrangement on youtube and used the music. The old Benny Goodman/Gene Krupa version is great but the quality of the recording is not very good. Thanks the compliments..I'm glad you enjoy my playing..

    Thanks for your response. I started paying the drums in Jr. High School 1963 and played in 3 different bands from 1964 to the early 1980's I stopped playing for over 30 years. In Dec. 2016 I bought a Alesis Forge drum kit and started to play again at least 5 days a week. I've been playing to Rock, Country, Latin, Big Band, Jazz, Swing, Pop, Disco, Rap and more. I will check out your drum covers. I too have published on RUclips many drum covers. I'm not a show type drummer but I am getting better every week. When the time is right I will play professionally again. I live 20 minutes from Las Vegas. There are literally 100's of Lounges and Bars in my area with live music.

    Excellent drum cover Joe. I can tell you have played in 1 or more big bands. Swing and jazz must be your first love of drumming. Your timing, rudiments and placement of accents are perfect. I agree with others that most drum covers on RUclips are drummers showing off and over the top. The songs get lost in the smoke and mirrors. If these drummers are trying to show case their skills for a spot in a band they might want to consider also playing a couple of songs as if they were the studio drummer too. No band will hire a drummer that needs the spot light all the time. This is a reality check. P/S Why would anybody check thumbs down??? I didn't see any bad comments below? I guess somebodies jealous, frustrated or just a miserable person?

    • @JoeNocella
      @JoeNocella  7 лет назад +2

      Thanks. Yes I've always loved swing drumming. I grew up listening to Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Sinatra, etc..Bobby Darin's swing stuff is great too. I recently did a few of his tunes. Check them out..As for the thumbs down. It doesn't bother me at all. I've seen phenomenal videos of the greatest drummers with many dislikes. People are weird. They may not like the song for whatever reason. Some people are jealous of other people's talents. Who cares..

      ​@@pitostreams7202 I just saw this comment. Good luck with your son. I've taught younger students and he'll do fine if he really wants to learn. If he loves music, he'll want to play. Make sure he works his hands on the practice pad. It's not only about playing rock grooves on the drum set. Good hands are essential in order to play at a higher level. Also , I always tell students that a good drummer should be able to many all styles of music. Thanks for watching..
