Your brother is right. The drum roll is that of a Military Court Martial. I think the sound you're looking for is spur's from their boots. He's getting ready to court martial her behind.🤣😂🎶❤️🎵🎼
interesting tidbit for you. Paul Simon was married to Carrie Fisher who played Princess Leia in the original Star Wars movies. If you get a chance you need to react to Simon's song with Garfunkle called The Boxer. Great harmonies
This song is not about Carrie though, it would be like another 5 or 6 years before they met. Songs about Carrie Fisher: Graceland, Hearts and Bones, Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes and I Don't Want No Part Of This Crazy Love.
He has a great song called Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes, featuring Ladysmith Black Mambazo which is a South African singing group. It's such a great song, my favorite Paul Simon jam❤️❤️🔥🔥
That's very cool that your brother is getting to appreciate instruments more! I think that's really a big thing for younger people, because the music today doesn't use a lot of actual instruments, not like back in the day. Great reaction by you both!
You'll find some great songs on his self titled and There Goes Rhymin' Simon albums. Graceland too, another wonderful album. His solo work is as good as the music he recorded with Art Garfunkel.
I was really young when this first came out. I was learning to walk and talk and my mom said I'd get excited at the "hop on the bus, Gus" part because my dad's name was Gus and as I got older I thought it was so cool that my dad's name was in a song.
Love this song!. Fun fact .. that is the great session drummer Steve Gadd front and centre on this track. Check out Steely Dan Steve's solo on the song AJA is rated one of the best ever. Have a great day and thanks for putting a smile on my face!
I really like this Pauul Simon album Still Crazy After All Tbese Years . This : the title track and quite a few others are very strong entries in the Paul Somom songbook.
Love your brothers’ appreciation for music…he has a good ear picking up instruments and the sounds that they make! Love watching you both take all this in!
Think That's potentially a tambourine your brother is talking about relating the clicking of spurs on boots. That's actually really cool because that's exactly what they sound like.This song has always tickled me. Just slip out the back Jack you don't have to be coy Roy haha! SHOUT OUT TO YOUR HUSTLE AND GRIND GETTING ALL THESE REACTIONS OUT!
You're one of the best reaction video channels, very intuitive. Paul Simons "Graceland" album has many amazing tracks, and for another suggestion... the legend that is Bill Withers (especially live performances)
Its takes DECADES to learn this shit correctly on the drums!!! Drummers talk about this beat like its a test! 💯 When we talk to each other and one of us says "I can play '50 Ways', its the ABSOLUTE power-move statement!!! I've spent 15 years, and AT BEST, I can half-ass that beat! Its THAT hard to get right! 💯 All props to Steve Gaad... one of the absolute masters of drumming... for CREATING this beat! (Its sampled on Tribe Called Quest, btw)
So GREAT to see the music appreciation transformation in your brother, Rico! He’s really listening, learning and expanding. He heard that boot-spur like sound; that’s amazing. I never realized it was there until he spoke about it; Bravo! 👏 👏👏
Steve Gadd's riff on this song is one I still use today to warm up on my drums. (it took me 3 weeks to finally get it down pat, but my teacher insisted I learn it) ..a real "Hand loosener" that get' ya ready to play anything else. "50 Ways" was number 1 , and it got there FAST...everyone of all races was diggin' on this one when I was about 16..All right, Reckless!!
“Is this a song” 😂. I understand what he meant, though ❤️. YES!! Love the drumming, and as a small kid, I thought the lyrics to this song were hysterical! One of Simon’s best!
Enjoying the reactions with your Bruddah..you both getting meanings and appreciation for the music...I think Sean said the intro drums he said they sound like boots in older movies..unsold folk out here KNOW was talking TAP SHOES.., Sammy Davis Jr, Gregory Hines to Fred Astaire, Cab Callaway... Just watched you both react to Do it again from Steely Dan..and yes ..it's about addiction...what ever it is , love to gambling to to sex to drugs...you go back jack..do it again..it's a cycle...anyway..hope to see more of you two reacting to great bands and artists.👍✌️😁❤️
I think your lil' bro was speaking about spurs on cowboy boots...Ya' know, like...I've got spurs that Jingle, jangle, jingle as I go riding merrily along...🐎
The drumming in this song is what's called a Cadence. Marching Bands utilize Cadences to keep a pace/rhythm for the Band, Drill Teams, Cheerleaders, Flags Squad (both Military and School [Cheerleading only applies to schools, lest someone wants to be a nitpicky Karen/Daren and call me out, because they think the rest of you are too stupid to know that the Military does not have Cheerleaders marching in Military Parades]), in between performances along the parade route. This particle cadence is a Military one.
I think your guys point may be that "50 ways to leave your lover" is kind of an odd name for a song, hence him asking to make sure. cause it does sound like it could be a book or movie or something. But I dont wanna speak for the guy. Good react.
