• Brecker Brothers Some ... Try this one after listening to Lars.
Not in the pocket I know! Some intentional, some I just did not even practice. But....Here we get a glimpse of what Africa may have sounded like if Baby Dodds or John Bonham or Tony Williams or Vinnie, or Lars or Buddy Rich and others had played on this great track.
Be happy people, it's all in good fun! I get NO compensation for this due to using the TOTO track. That's fine. Never thought this would go so crazy, but almost 100k now. Wish I would have taken more time.
O.K. now for the tough part. Explaining humor, kind of kills the joke. But here goes. Some folks are taking life WAY too seriously. This was done SO quickly and off the cuff. I got the idea and just kept going. I could barely hear the track - no excuse I know. Was not in the pocket for sure. That was not the point anyway. I would literally come up with an idea of another one as I played. So, I did another one until I felt it was enough. Just kept hitting pause and then did a new one. Mostly this has gotten a lot of great comments. A few haters. A few that COVID has ruined their ability to laugh at something only intended for fun. Really, I am just wanting to bring some distraction to the difficulties we are all facing. Honestly, not one of these drummers is a bad drummer. All are to be highly regarded including Lars. I did not even pick the thumbnail! YT did that automatically. I went with it. This was wham bam and done.
Redo or not? That is the question. I can't redo spontaneity. It may work. It may not. Glad it made MOST people laugh. I may redo it. Vote below in the comments.
