Back in the 70's I was taking drumming lessons from a teacher that I didn't have any confidence in his abilities when he said the drum solo in this song was hard to master. I spent the next 8 months driving my parents crazy by practicing this solo every day of the week over and over and over. I had recently turned 12 and my sister was having a sweet 16 party. My dad paid for a band to play at her party. During their 1st break, I asked the drummer if I could play a little. He laughed at me and walked off. The party was being held in the large banquet hall in the basement of a bowling alley so everyone upstairs could still hear all the music from the band even over the noise of the bowling. Anyway, I started to get comfortable with the drum set and making one or two adjustments cause I was much smaller than the bands drummer. I started slow, but soon got down to business. I played the entire drum solo from in-a-gadda-da-vida without making even one mistake. It was the first time I realized what getting in-a-zone meant. When I was finished I was sweating and the entire hall had filled up with people cheering and clapping. People had actually stopped bowling upstairs to come down and listen. I will never forget that day.

I got here because I was watching your video on Michael Schrieve's solo in Soul Sacrifice which has enough similarities to this one that it triggered the memory of this. I got to watch this played on stage leaning on the back of the front columns at Massey Hall. That was the perk for hanging out back of hall offering to carry in equipment, which I did regularly. It was a double billing with the Turtles - Night and Day performances. I was a 'roadie' of a high school basement band that played things like this in a school full of soul brothers. It was the thrill of a life time to be that close to such greatness and I thank the roadie who recognized my zeal and let a roadie teenager into the concert hall for free and fixed it that I had the best seat in the house.

@Glen.Black. 10 месяцев назад

So where are they now? Little side story about the original bass player (Greg Willis) for Iron Butterfly. I had a friend at work (in San Diego) that invited me to go watch her partner play in a band, this is around 2001? The band was called "Candye Kane & the Swingin' Armadillos". It was a swing/boogie band. On break, she takes me back to introduce me to all the band members and I met Greg. Greg was a regular member of Candye Kane's band for 9 years. Iron Butterfly was formed in San Diego in 1966, only 2 years before this iconic track. When the band moved to L.A. Greg's father would not let him go, as he was still in high school. He ended up not speaking to his father for 33 years over this decision. I'm sure this song had something to do with it. If you were alive when this song came out, you owned this album and played it until it wore out. It was over 17 Min long...lol

@theoldscout3478 3 месяца назад

Worked their first two back to back tours 1968-70. Bushy played with only one base drum head, heavily taped with a pillow inside and his toms and snare were taped also, created a distinctive sound, I would say primitive. The organist played organ at his Fathers church when he was a kid. Turtle---D-HI Sound-

@jraben1065 10 месяцев назад

The story (Back in the day) The singer was so drunk that he slurred the words to "In The Garden Of Eden". The Band liked the sound of "In-A-Gadda-De-Vida", and they decided to print the lyrics that way. (Don't know if this story is true, but it was the story we all knew.) A lot of people then assumed that "In-A-Gadda" was some kind of "mystical chant", or "magic incantation". Since Indian mysticism was popular in the late 1960's, people assumed these lyrics had meaning. Actually, the original "Eden" lyrics were kind of spiritual....

Saw a live performance as a college sophomore or junior at UNC-CH in 1969 or 70. It was simply amazing! The performance was in the basketball arena and it was pretty warm. The summer took his shirt off after a while and sweat glistening on his skin & flying from his hair. He was thin as a rail & looked exhausted by the end of the song. Even in that unfavorable acoustic setting, the side to side effect came through in the solo. Most of us were standing & cheering throughout the solo. But the entire performance was mesmerizing. A perfect song for the "psychedelic 60s." Heard in an "altered state" over headphones, it was a "trip."

Come on , the first drum solo on a rock pop record was “Wipeout”. "Wipe Out" spent four months on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1963, reaching number 2, behind Stevie Wonder's "Fingertips". "Wipe Out" returned to the Hot 100 in 1966, reaching number 16 on the Hot 100 (and number 63 for the year), peaking at number 9 on the Cash Box chart, selling approximately 700,000 copies in the U.S. The single spent a grand total of 30 weeks on the Hot 100. *** Drummer Sandy Nelson issued different versions on multiple LPs. In 1970, "Wipe Out" peaked at number 110 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.

Just to correct myself, Gene Krupa in 1934, played the famous drum solo back when pop music included some commercial jazz. With the Benny Goodman Orchestra, Gene Krupa’s tom-tom interludes on the hit "Sing, Sing, Sing" were the first extended drum solos to be recorded commercially. * Gene Krupa appeared in the 1941 film Ball of Fire, in which he and his band performed an extended version of the hit "Drum Boogie" (composed by Krupa and Roy Eldridge), sung by Martha Tilton and lip-synced by Barbara Stanwyck.

Ron Bushy was awesome, and he had the greatest ‘drumming face’ of all time. With his extremely dramatic grimacing, he always appeared to either be in great pain, or mortal danger.. And a footnote: yes, the lyrics were supposed to be ‘In The Garden Of Eden’. They were sung “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” because vocalist Doug Ingle was completely wasted on a certain “substance” during the recording session. This information is courtesy of Mickey Hart, drummer and percussionist of the Grateful Dead and also an amazing author. Check out his most excellent book “Drumming At The Edge Of Magic”, written in 1998.

Back from the time where the solos were not overdubs but part of the backing track - or the live track as it is, if I'm not mistaken. Playing together, hickups all included. Just real. You can hear the moments of silence or crackle when switching effects for the guitar solo etc, and sometimes hesitation during the improvisations...

Great reaction to this epic pivotal moment in rock history! Loved your insightful reaction! This was back when everything anybody put out was cooler than everything else, and at any moment it felt like something like this was about to happen. It wasn't long after this that young jazz guitarist Tony Iommi invented metal, and the golden age of music began its peak as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple emerged along with Black Sabbath. Every young drummer practiced this solo, and every young guitarist practiced Smoke on the Water and Iron Man. As you said well, Ron Bushy was playing music, not "soloing", if you see what I mean, and in the process, this timeless classic solo was the result. Almost everything these days is so dismal and formulaic by comparison. It's a shame.

This is one of those pieces of music that sounds much better when kicked back in front of a stereo system with great speakers than it does with headphones. Those extreme panning effects are less noticeable, except for the part where the drum pan slides back and forth, and the general effect in the room is that the blended sound gives a good aural "image" of the band and their placement on the stage in front of you.

Iron Butterfly was my first rock concert experience. My first ever concert was Simon and Garfunkel. This is the first time I've listened to "In A Gadda Da Vida" in ... I dunno, a l o-o-o-ng time. It whipped me right back to one of the happiest times of my life. I was 20, I and my little brother had formed a little band with some of his schoolmates. We submitted our version of this to a contest being held by a local radio station, and were chosen as one of 3 finalists, to open for a Sajid Khan show. Only three minutes or so were allotted, so we played 'Shake' by Shadows of Knight - and lost to the band that played Spirit's "Fresh Garbage". For a couple of years ,when we gigged, "In A Gadda Da Vida" was the standout for most (bar and high school) audiences. Our version took up most of a 45-minute set. ALL of the cassettes we made were simply thrown away by an ex of mine. *sigh* I remember a music critic of the time describing it as "The 20 minute belch that is 'In A Gadda Da Vida'. A Lawrence Welk fan, I assume.

wore both sides of this album out back in the day (before I heard Led Zep 😁) No headphones - just perched myself between 2 very close speakers 😂 I think Ginger Baker's Toad solo predated this by a few years. Haven't heard this in quite some time - Thanks for the reaction ☮

14 years old when this blasted onto the radio. Blown away and bought the single, then only to find out there was an album version..more blown away. fly on Butterfly fly

That back and forth stuff was them playing with stereo as it was a new invention. Went well with LSD Fun to watch you react. This is the first time I've listened to it in a while, in headphones with my hearing aids in. No wonder I love it.

@Keith_KC8TCQ 9 месяцев назад

this song was what really inspired me to start exploring the drum kit more. I was playing Dixieland jazz on a 3 piece kit. but when I heard this it blew my mind and I really starting examining drums from a different mindset. flash forward to hearing the likes of Yes, Genesis, Emerson lake and Palmer........

@brucefelger4015 10 месяцев назад

The drummer is the only one who plays through the entire song.

this is used to great effect by director michael mann in the movie manhunter near the end. i think it was remade so be sure and look for the mann name.

@AndrewRooneyDrums 10 месяцев назад

Oh wow! Sounds good. Haven't seen that one but I like Mann as a director

@alewis6451 Месяц назад

It leaves you with the impression that it was developed out of a jam session since it has few words, with each member adding their own idea. In regard to over drumming a poster on another video said it was a double base pedal. Even though double pedals for base drum came out in the 30's, most rockers used 2 base drums tuned differently. So what ever it's an original very good, composed arrangement.

Great comments

I just found out the last member of this band died 2 weeks ago. There is a GREAT live version from my 14th birthday, which was the night of the 40th Anniversary of Atlantic Records concert with the og 4 members for this song. Ron has a bigger kit, but there is a camera on him during the solo.

@dougrogers835 7 месяцев назад

I don't no squat about how to play music, but do notice how it is played. This is the only famous drum solo that I remember with no symbols or high hat once it gets started.

@dougrogers835 7 месяцев назад

Oh and I did hear directly from a video of one of the band members coming back to the hotel where they were staying and another band mate said he had a a new song, he asked what was it and he said In The Garden Of Eden .Being that he was drunk and slurred his words he thought he said In A Gadda Da Vida. and the name stuck.

Great drumming without constantly crashing the cymbals

@davidhowe5415 Месяц назад

Fun fact: Ringo Starr's only "drum solo" on a Beatles album is in "The End" on Abbey Road. Ringo has said that it was inspired by Ron Bushy's solo in this song, and you can definitely hear it.

@michaeldavis395 10 месяцев назад

There is a video version of this too , unreal to actually see it

@pmnphxaz 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, but it is that ole 60s pantomime to the record. However, Ron (Bushy) played the licks much later in life, and that is on RU-vid. Only Doug Engle is still with us, the vocalist and organist.

@mre9789 10 месяцев назад

@vernhoke7730 9 месяцев назад

Now we're talking. Had my copy back '68, my 2nd cousin it to me to check out some psychedelic rock. 10 year me had the solo down pat. By the way Sina drums does a cover of this and it's pretty good. So good Ron Bushy's widow commented on how proud he'd have been to hear it. There are a couple live versions of this including one that clocks in around 20+ minutes the last time the original members played together.

@juniordenney9892 9 месяцев назад

I was 14 when I got my bicycle paper route in San Diego and this was the second or third album I bought. My first was The Doors and bought Days of Future Passed by the Moody Blues. I do remember one of the guys in Ironbutterfly was a military brat like me and the organist’s father was a church organist, which you can hear his fathers influence.

@dougdoesall Месяц назад

I was 11 when this was released. It was one of those caricatures, in a way, of that era, except it was also a beginning of something, rather than just a description in kind. Though it wasn't completely without roots, it was unique enough to say that there was 'before' this song, and an 'after'', in 60s musical history (sort of a 'do you remember where you were when this song first came out?' type of thing)

@brianfairbank6178 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for this one. I don't remember when I last sat down and listened to this song in its entirety. And probably wouldn't have. Fantastic pick & review. 21:08 Edit: opening song in the Resident Evil : Extinction movie. Yup, tanker truck running down zombies to that tune. 🤩 'bout 10-15 minutes in IIRC

@mikeg.4211 9 месяцев назад

@jpdj2715 14 дней назад

To me this is the archetype of acid rock. Let the music saturate your brain, even without acid, gets you in a trance and gives you a musical trip both around the world and in time.

Doug Ingle the vocalist, was wasted and kept pronouncing it In A Gadda Da Vida, according to an interview he did, so they kept it that way.😅 I love this song, gotta play it loud!🤘🤘

This song is the entire second side of the album. The first side, featuring 5 regular length songs, is worth a listen as well.

Great review Andy! I have always enjoyed zoning out to this tune, in every version....spotify has different versions of this song, all by Iron Butterfly....just a great improv jam tune. And great ending with the drummer passing out...sounds like they are doing a cover of How Many More Times by Led Zep. Too many psychedelics for him! LOL!

I would dearly LOVE to see Yoyoka do a cover of this classic! This was the first song as a little kid that I totally freaked out listening to. In my opinion the first metal tune ever.

I was 18 when this came out. Needless to say, I was sold. I have listened to this hundreds of times. It's in my top 5 favorite songs of all time. I have to say, in my point of view, The Muppets' Animal was designed after Ron Bushy. If you get a chance, you should watch the live black and white video. It's 17 minutes and Ron is amazing.

@user-te5ct8yh8p 6 месяцев назад

Yes, 1968 and I was 13 years old when this album came out. Their music was classified as acid rock or psychedelic rock. some even talk about this being the beginnings of hard or heavy metal rock. I love how it changes moods without having breaks. it just moves from one part to the next seamlessly. The part you thought was elephants is in fact the lead guitarist 17 year old Erik Braunn. No sampling back in 1968. The keyboardist and vocalist for this song is Doug Ingle. Lee Dorman is the bassist and Ron Bushy is the drummer. Jefferson Airplane was another of the groups that would be classified as acid/psychedelic rock.
