Hello William, thank you for watching the video and for your comment. This was one of those takes where I just went into the studio and threw down a mostly improvised performance! I knew the song from when I was a kid, but had only played the tune a couple of times earlier in the week and wasn’t even sure I was going to do a drum cover video of it. I was feeling inspired that morning, threw the cameras on, hit record on my recording gear, and “went for it”. At the time, I had no intention of even posting it, but when I listed to it later, I liked the overall vibe of the take, even though, Imagining for a moment if I had been the drummer on the original recording in the studio, I would have been a bit more “measured” in a couple of spots. Your comment was reasonable, and thank you for watching! I really appreciate it! Best, Mike
