So... I went a little crazy, because ... I felt a little crazy. Anyway, here's a drum cover to the smash-hit (from the 1970's), Frank Mill's MUSIC BOX DANCER!
I pretty much killed it. Dead (or at least seriously wounded) Laugh, dangit.
Hi! I'm Jason. I own and operate a recording studio in Utah called Art City Sound. I've recently begun a youtube series of "full covers" where I cover songs from any era and make them ROCK! I do one video every week and love doing it.
You can find that over on my main channel, "Magic Jones"
2022 UPDATE - I covered the whole song in a new video. Check it out! -- • Music Box Dancer (2022...

Drummers are insane! always tapping...tapping...tapping They're some of my favorite people... The worst case I ever saw was sitting in Georgia summer traffic. I looked over and the guy in the car next to me had his air conditioner on with all his windows up, tapping all over the dash of the car with real drumsticks! Drummers, indeed...🇺🇸 😎👍☕

Thank you for giving my 80 ' ish year old mother something pure and remarkable and just as lovely as she has always been in my eyes. I could see tears of joy welling up in her tired eyes and it was a special feeling to us both. Thank you again, you are a talented and gifted soul. And I thank God for placing you on this earth and in my path , So She could hear this . It means very much to me as does She. Thanks.🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

That's really swell! I play this tune on my banjo sometimes! Of course I'm not nearly as good on the banjo as you are on the drums, but I love doing it! It WOULD probably sound much better if I had a band backing me up, but no, it's just me and my banjo! I have to sing the piano melody because I need the banjo to be whole band! Can you tell exactly what kind of instrumentation the tune uses? Piano and drums of course but I'm also hearing bass, various percussion, strings (probably synthesized) and possibly either live or synthesized vocals.
