The sound of that snare is incredible.
-
He sounds even better with those sunglasses on!
-
In his last Drumeo Live he said “Screw up BPM! It must be FPM, feel per minute. In the place I played the only click you could’ve heard is BANG! from a pistol” Something like that. He is so cool 😎
-
Love how he talks about all the nuances of the drumming on the original recording.
-
Saw BB King live around 2010. It was incredible. Before BB came on stage, the band just jammed for like 20 minutes. Insane musicians.
-
Love this guy. He has an amazing aura on the drums and as a person. Cool dude, amazing drummer and teacher!
-
My grandfather used to play this song/album when taking me to school. I didn't know how good that I had it until I grew up, following my grandfather's and BB King's passing. Such an iconic song!
-
When I was in a blues band a few years ago. I studied this track forever to get every accent correct and I will never play this song any different. I love the sound of the pause on the snare. Was always my favorite song to play live.
-
If you ask Tony Coleman how long he’s played with BB King, he’ll tell you “since I was a size 18 waist”. I heard him say that to someone interviewing him while walking through Casino Rama in Orillia, Ontario several years ago. Funny guy! Phenomenal drummer to boot.
-
I love his comment "you play in the pocket and you get something in your pocket"
-
Legendary song. Makes me happy everytime I hear it.
-
People underestimate how hard it is to play a strong consistent groove like this. Just as hard as nailing all the fills on a Rush tune.
-
Thanks Tony and Drumeo , I am playing this in four days time and now I finally got the start sorted . A lot better then our guitarist telling me "it's just rat a tat tat tat ".
-
The kick is crucial
-
My dad loves this song. I am going to show him this today!
-
When you hear or read about jazz players saying “know when not to play” this is what they are talking about. I know it’s more blues and rock, but he’s leaving out a natural snare hit on the beat to emphasize it when it’s there and let the song breath. Just beautiful
-
That was so smooth! The great Bruce Lee said .... " be like water" And it applies to everything !
-
Insane snare sound 😮
-
Just beautiful, favourite song, loved the walkthrough of the drum part. You were nicely tucked into that pocket.
-
Love B.B. King, Charlie Musselwhite, Gary Moore, John Lee Hooker, etc! Blues man! And i am 90% into metal, but love blues, since i was a kid.
