Great stuff as always Mr Fludas!!! I’ve been listening to The Ventures lately and I wonder if even young jazz drummers played ‘Wipe Out’ My gut feeling says yes.
I get to play this sometimes at the “open mic” for musicians I help with on Thursday nights…I’m going to steal as much as I can from this one George!! 🤣 Thank you, as always, for these lessons! -Mario 🤘🏼❤️✌🏼🥁
I think the most listen to song in 1972 hands down studio version live version you could not go a day without hearing this song playing somewhere and boy would my friends from my sophomore year in High School love to see this video George crushing it as usual. PS it looks so different seeing a right handed drummer playing Smoke On The Water.
I wish i could play like George… he has such great ability to no over play, and his fills sound monstrous! You can te he loves playing by the big smile on his face!!! Very tasteful george! Keep em coming !
First song that I learned on drums and bass guitar. I don't even play bass guitar. lol. We had a band in high school and in between songs we would switch instruments for a visual effect. Yes it was the 70's and we were high. I learned this on bass guitar, bass switched to drums, the guitarist switched to keyboards and keyboards switched to guitar.
You always keep me on the edge of my seat George. You are so smooth and completely one with your instrument..Thank you again for sharing your talent !! Regards, Brian
Norway 70s and 80s, to try to play every day on tours, we took restaurants in the middle of the week more quiet music. There was always a huge fuss about volume. People howled and screamed with anger, sometimes we got so fed up with this, we said Smoke On The Water and pack up and drive. While we got plates in our heads. It was a swear word. Smoke On the Water and run.😇
Awesome - Paicey would be so proud. Yours and his grounding is based in jazz. Great groove. Would love you to do a breakdown of the Made in aJapan or Denmark Mule solo. You are the only player that know accomplished to do it !! Have a brill Sunday - hoping you and your family are all well. Cheers from North Wales !! 🥁👍🏼🏴🥁👍🏼
That's right George!!! You're the only one that can breakdown Paicey drumming!! The vistalites sound very good! What are differences between vista and steel in your opinion?
Just awesome 😎 smoking. Man On those Vistalites George It’s spot on to smoke on the water they sound like thunder rolling very nicely tuned up I enjoy every sound in them I have the same set they shake the foundation of my house.
Great job Geo... just killed it! And that sound... OMGoodness, who doesn't get a Supra-Vista-woody after listening to your play-throughs on these classic tunes. 👍👍👍👍👍
I like that you took a version from those shows in Japan that wasn't the well known version from the MIJ album that so many know. Great example of how Ian Paice didn't play the song the same way every time back then.
Excellent. Born in '61. I grew up with that great music. George - What Audio Interface are you using to feed your mics into your laptop? Looking at the Focusrite and PreSonus.
