Can we just have a moment to thank the sound engineer for this. Great sound on on that brass snare... Beautiful sound

Pat, in 1985 my friend and I were in middle school, and we came to see the Reckless concert in Terre Haute, Indiana. Before the show we ran into you and Bryan in the mall at a store called The Record Bar. Bryan was buying his opening act’s record (can’t remember the name). You were eight feet tall with spiky hair and introduced yourself as Bryan’s drummer and bodyguard. 😁 You guys talked to us and we still talk about it to this day. Thank you for taking the time to make a couple of eleven year-olds feel like rock stars and lifelong fans. ❤️🥁🎸

Such a simple drum part, but so effective and thunderous! The sheer amount of sound being produced by Pat here is astonishing.

5:48 that fill was so effortlessly cool. What a great drummer.

Just proves you don't have to overplay to be great. Perfect beat and playing for the song always trumps showing off. ❤

Those drums sound amazing

I've played this song about a million times in various cover bands throughout the years, everyone always goes crazy for it. Nice to see this breakdown from the source!!! So great.

As an 80s music fanatic, this was always one of my Top 10 songs, precisely because of the drums. I was never a drummer myself...but I airdrummed the HELL out of this song every time I heard it...and I still do, 40 years later! So awesome to hear how they came up with the different parts. The breakdown after the 2nd chorus was my favorite part, especially the pairs of bass drum hits...awesome, awesome song!

So glad you brought Pat on. Very underrated drummer. He’s such a solid time keeper.

It’s incredible how this song have gotten stuck into people’s hearts and souls. It’s part of the structure and fabric of the universe now, at least in musical terms. You are SO lucky if you get to channel a song like this through you! So many millions of people have a memory connected to this song. And me, known it since back in the day, and STILL crank it up when it hits the radio in the car 😎

Wow, such an iconic song from my teen years. It's so great to hear the actual people who did the recording tell us what was going on back then.

Pat is the best drummer ever who also is kind and true blue Canadian. Love this guy.

This song is never NOT on the radio...for YEARS.

Had the pleasure of working with Pat on a few projects. I can say his energy behind the kit is unparalleled. Standing beside him I would wince every time he hit the snare. The guy can hit!

One of the best sounding recordings of the analog era. Excellent drum sounds.

You know what, I heard that song like a million times over the years growing up and I'm now 58 years old and the drumming breakdown of that song made me appreciate it even so much more. Thank you so much. Love your channel keep up the great work.

Each and everytime I play this live, I'm instantly transformed back to sitting on the floor and watching that video on Much Music in 1985 on our 20" RCA TV.

Imagine playing this song for many years, yet still enjoying it with passion and fun. It has an awesome sound and power, truly hitting hard!

Look how relaxed he plays. Even after all those years look how happy he is playing the song. Nice simple fills that hit you straight in the face, massive impact and drive to the song.

This old boy at the end of the song is fucking straight smashing the living balls out of the drums. Love it. So many feels

That snare sound! And I always love the fill coming out of the breakdown.

LOVE Pat Steward’s drumming on the single ONE NIGHT LOVE AFFAIR!

This videos are so great! Pat Steward has a lot of energy in his drumming, love it

Love this extended version. This song never has and never will get old!

One of the greatest songs ever.

High PAT! Just want to say that when I think of that 80s rock and Bryan Adams, I think of his vocals and guitar work and your drumming. Always thought the drumming was perfection on all that music. A drummer has a million ways to play something, a few hundred that will sound good and a handful that will sound great. You always ended up in that handful of ways. Regardless of if it came from your head or ideas of Bryan, you playing it make it great.

Such a driving track with lots of tasty nuances that fit the song perfectly. I LOVE playing it whenever someone requests it!

Saw Pat with Bryan and the band in concert a few months ago. What a beast of a drummer!

Awesome song, awesome performance, Awesome inspiration from an awesome drummer. Drumeo is the best.😊

Iconic song, solid drumming, 5:50 was awesome! Can we appreciate that snare sound? boom!

Pat Steward has always been and always will be one of my favourite drummers.

it's perfectly placed drumming, the feel is perfect and in the pocket

Pat Stewart has the most amazing feel and tasty fills. Rocking. Reckless rocks!!!

Such an iconic rock song! Very happy to finally meet the drummer behind it.

Reminds me of my teenage years. Lots of great music in the 80s.

GORGEOUS MAN ! THE MOST TALENTED DRUMMER IN THE WHOLE WORLD !

This song gets played everywhere, even today. An 80s song played today for "reasons". Maybe it's because I'm in Canada but this song comes up in the car, at the airport, at various retail stores, at the bar, but surprisingly not when I'm on the toilet.

Bryan Adams amazing music was a big part of the soundtrack to my life growing up as a teenager in Hawaii!!!

Thank you Drumeo for all that you do for us ,the drum community from all walks of life. I narrowly avoided death in my home due to a massive blood clot on my heart that caused everything to be blocked ..heart, all ventricles. I felt like I lost my left side waist down..no chest pain at all..the clot broke down into over a dozen smaller ones that went down my legs. I called 911 within seconds had I waited, I’d be dead. Drumeo videos like this and especially the ones with drummers who’ve heard a band out of their wheelhouse for the first time and they play their interpretations of music they’ve heard only then. Since I’m still pretty weak physically and am aways from playing drums, your videos have helped me immensely getting through this fucked up deal..THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

When I imagine what a recorded rock drum kit sounds like......this is. Whoever mixed this did an amazing job!

The sparse bass drum makes this drum part elevate the song! And I've seen more than a couple cover band drummers not understand the count on this fill at the end of the break, and I wish they did, because it's simple yet sublime!

What a cool dude! Iconic song, and iconic drumming for sure.

Reckless, Still in my all time top ten albums, his playing is sublime. If you’re not aware bryan has put lots of top quality videos of him in royal Albert hall with pat. The videos are top notch.

Nothing too high shelf here…and that’s exactly what this iconic song called for. Terrific job in ‘84 and in ‘23 Pat! And yes, the sound is superb as usual. 👍🏼

So much joy in this song, for so long, many thanks to all the artists and, yes Drumeo 🎉

LOVE THIS SONG!!! In more ways than one as family moved to SoCal in Jan 1968 from Michigan! But, Our Summer of '69 was our MOST FREEDOM EVER!!! We lived on Lake St in Altadena, up Lake from Pasadena! The Jr Hi was right across the street & in summer they had gym open (am thinking that's where DLR practiced his gymnastics!), they'd spin 45's in smaller room & you could buy cups of pop! Our Fav @ the time? Why suicides of course! Sis & I still reminise about that fun Summer! Both too young to drive but also got our first pair of Vans @ their Flagship store right there on Lake St! For a "whopping" $5.!!! What? HELL YEAH! ❤ Boy, those really were the days! YEAH, BABY!!! ROCK ON!!! ✌️🤘

Pat! I’ve always loved watching u play….. a drummer that loves to drum.

Pat is a really great drummer. Bryan has been blessed to play with two excellent ones over the years, I dig Mickey Curry too

Saw Bryan Adams and this guy in September. It was one of the best shows I've ever been too!

Ironically a timeless song!

oh my god, this song is one of my top 10, I have played it thousands of times, it is not a complex song but it is so full of good vibes and energy, thank you for bringing the genuine one and explaining everything!!! simply incredible

As a very average guitar player of 25 years that took like 3 weeks of drum lessons… this channel is amazing even if 70% of the drumming lingo goes over my head

That guy hits the sound insulation off the wall. Awesome!

Amazing work and feel, the drums sound so powerful, while staying open and breathing!

My friend is the reporter interviewing Bryan while he's on the hammock! 😊

Quite ferrocious, for what is, at its essense, a hard pop ballad. SOLID AF. I LOVE visually how this hi-hat sways perfectly as if its suspended in water with its on sonic bouyancy. Thank you for this, Pat and Drumeo!

Thanks for the lesson, Pat!🎉

that snare sound is epic

One of the greatest song of last century..super like the review..!! Eagerly waiting for Max Weinberg's breakdown of Born in Usa..!!!

That snare sounds fantastic!!

My god. Pure excellence. This is really one of those songs that defined an era and a generation.

Love watching the level of commitment a pronputs into a song like this. A beginning drummer might have no idea exactly how much this guy is beating the heck out of this kit.

I grew up listening to this song and it's awesome to hear the drummer describe the song. I love it

One of the first tracks i learned as a beginning drummer in the late 80's. Still a favorote now because it may be simple from a technique standpoint but its all about the feel. Still an absolute classic.

SO awesome to actually see the great Pat Steward play this iconic drum part from this classic song!!🤩

Always Tasteful Drum Parts on Bryan Adams Songs!!! Love this Album

Always incredible drum parts for Bryan Adams! They fit the song exactly what needs to be done. I can’t think of anything better than what you’ve done! It’s perfect for the song and the sound of your drums are great as well! You’re just an awesome drummer!

80's rock ruled!

what a bad ass. still drumming and looking good at his age

As I have always said, I love Mickey,but I also love Pat’s DRIVE

I'm not a drummer so I dont know what you call it but at 6:49, that little roll thing is badass and it looks like Pat even cracks a little smile like "oh yeah baby, I still got it".

I love how the drummers play that center of the symbol with such concentration and determination. I'm not a drummer but it looks like it requires high accuracy. I honestly wouldn't make this observation until this channel presented the art of drumming so amazingly. Good job Drumeo and good job drummers!

Beautiful natural, wide-open sound.

Love Pat! Saw him with Bryan in Paris when they were supporting Tina Turner in '85.

100% iconic. Can't listen to this song with a flood of memories hitting me right in the feels, and they're all good.

Thanks! For this video my Dad was a drummer and this song is one of there line up

The guys behind the glass at drumeo are getting some great sounds over there!! Bravo on the sound folks.

Thank you for showing your technique and enthusiasm.

I saw him live a week ago. He has so much energy. I felt every beat in my chest 😊

Amazing breakdown with context, on the original drums with the original drummer. Thank you for that

Pat, You ROCK brother! The drum sound is killer; especially that snare!! To die for!

Bryan opened for Rod Stewart about 15 years ago. Best concert I've ever seen People were talking afterwards about how much better Bryan was. He was phenomenal!!!

He's such a great presenter. Really fun video to watch. The song takes me back to my childhood. My mom had the So Far, So Good album. A compilation album, I believe. I loved listening to the album while lying on the floor by the cupboard that our Hi-Fi lived in. The song takes me back to rhe house I grew up in, every single time I listen to it. And now I want to learn it, so that I can add new memories to the song.

Love that entire album. I remember i had a '68 Chevelle. Prior to starting college that year, I built a new stereo system for it. This album was the first music out if it. Great times.

That SNARE!! Pat is king! 👑

Beautiful! Love this song, such a vibe. Drums sound incredible and performance was killer!

The snare is about to explode! Amazing drumming

Phenomenal drummer and a big influence when I was learning along to these songs.

These are always the best sounding drum parts, right to the point and beautiful!

Right behind Neil Peart, the GREATEST Canadian drummer! Absolute legend.

Te amo, Drumeo. Tenés un fan en Buenos Aires que devora con pasión cada uno de estos videos.

I talk with that guy, he was giving a drums clinic at the music store i was teaching and still teach, here in Moncton, and he was super cool, and an excellent drummer, he also played for the band The Odds too, a good Canadian band.

Caught your show in San Diego. It was one of the best Ive experienced in my life. Thank you for rockin' us all thru life!

omg I have never heard that ending continue like that

This song is my most favourite song of Bryan Adams I just love it and the drum beat for it is so good.😁

Cool to see and get a little instruction from a drummer I played to a bit when I was learning to play drums as a young teen.

I mean, seriously... Bringing the kit from the Official Video featured during the song is really cool and a privelege to see and hear

This song has been my saving grace in some dark times. It’s simply one of the best songs ever written. I do still have that VHS btw!! Haha 😆

Met Pat at a drum clinic in Calgary last year. An absolute gent, top player, and ye gods was he loud :)

Pat is a great drummer and delivered well on the tracks he did for Bryan. Why did Mickey Currey get the long term drum chair I wonder? Mickey has recorded on most of Bryan’s catalogue. While Pat has great energy and rock chops Mickey to me looked like he was doing it smoother and with little more flow on his fills. Anyway both of them great players but Mickey was more my favourite. Great video and an iconic song of my Eighties teen generation 😎🥁
