I’m seventy years old now, riddled with arthritis and haven’t played for at least twenty years. I’d forgotten how fit one must be to play a song properly all the way through and maintain the tempo and stay crisp. This video reminded me, it’s a lot of fun to play this song but it’s a workout. Well done Sir! Thanks for the video.

Hey Peter. At the end of the day it‘s all about comfort and creating flow You can play any swing/ shuffle groove to get through the song. I wish you the best my friend 🙏🏼🥁

YOU CAN END ALL YOUR ARTHRITIS BY SIMPLY WORKING OUT WITH WEIGHTS EVERY OTHER DAY FOR AS LONG AS YOU LIVE! YES! USING DUMBELLS AND LIGHT WEIGHT, DOING MEDIUM HIGH REP RANGES AND DOING FULL BODY WORKOUTS, YOU CAN BUILD LOST MUSCLE, AND ONCE YOU HAVE DONE THAT? THE JOINTS, LIGAMENTS, AND TENDONS THROUGHOUT YOUR BODY WILL ALSO STRENGTHEN, AND THE SWELLING OF YOUR JOINTS WILL END! ITS NOT OVER TIL ITS OVER! GET OUT THOSE DRUM STICKS AND DRUMS AND GET TO A GYM! YOU WILL BE PLAYING AGAIN WITHIN WEEKS!

Being a long time drummer and a ZZ Top expert only in that I’ve been attempting to play la grange and cheap sunglasses now for many years as we play at every show in my cover band. One thing that I believe would assist other drummers in learning la grange etc is to help drummers get into but more importantly out of the fills here. That’s super tricky. Peace and amazing vid. Very helpful. I wonder how many folks can even play the Texas shuffle at a gig?? That’s a new one on me so I’ll start practicing. I was cheating!! Lol.

This leap from 1st grade to post grad studies is something many online teachers do which does nothing other than frustrate most students. You are a fantastic player and teacher. Thank-you.

With the fast fill, I think you get closer to the original feel if you approach it like very wide spaced flams instead of RLK. And phrase the flam-kick-pattern almost like even eigthnotes within the quarternote triplets. Works better for me at least. It's not easy to play RLK sloppy but cool. But with the wide flams, everything falls right into place.
