@@gregwonhoff7161 Many thanks for the comment Greg, yes it was a little to slow for me but I didn't give in and thought it's all good experience at the end of the day, and like I have said I try and do a variety of songs of all eras and types, to keep 🧠 ticking. Have a good weekend 👍🙏🥁

Thanks for the comment Hilts, it was my last effort, still don't think it's one of my best , bit to slow the song but it is what it is , Keep smiling 🥁👍🙏

@@The-Tired-Drummer thanks for the comment TD, I got that to do soon hopefully 😁 keep smiling 😁👍🥁

@@gregwonhoff7161 many thanks for the comment Greg, yes there is another song called go now that's by the moody blues, I haven't done that one yet, but hopefully soon, keep smiling 🥁🙏👍🥁

Many thanks earl, I keep trying, 🙏🥁

Many thanks Hilts 👍🙏

@@The-Tired-Drummer many thanks for the comment TD, I haven't done any of George's yet but I may do one day , have a good weekend 👍🙏🥁

Very nice drum cover. You played it very well.

@@DRUMMER-MAN-59 Many Thanks 👍

@@gregwonhoff7161 Many thanks for the comment Greg, I hope you enjoyed your holiday, not had one this year may go in October, not sure where. Enjoy your weekend 👍🙏🥁👍

Many thanks for the comment Greg, I try and find one for you when I start doing them again which hopefully be end of next week. Not played for 8 weeks do to my move, keep smiling 🙏👍🥁

Thanks for the comment Greg, I am surprised you don't know this one , it was a fairly big in the USA around 1961, I think he was a country and western guy . Keep smiling 🙏🥁👍🙏

@@Kingy-23drums Country/ Western probably explains it. I was 11 in 1961. I was the older of brothers, and we didn’t listen to a radio either. I did watch American Bandstand around then, but there was no C/W music there.

@@gregwonhoff7161 my dad liked country and western and it wasn't that big in the UK he loved Johnny cash Jim reeves, have a good week 👍🙏🥁

Very nice drum cover and very nice song. Have you heard the Hank Williams JR. & Connie Francis version of this song? It has a very good upbeat tempo too.

@@DRUMMER-MAN-59 Thanks for the comment Drummer man. No i have not heard them but i will look them up on you tube later. Like i said to the the tired drummer a lot of songs he does and you do and Earl, i just dont know them , they must only relase them in the USA and Canada, which is a shame. Have a good week and keep lknocking those songs out you doing great, 🥁🥁

@@gregwonhoff7161 thanks for the comment Greg, yes it was a hit from 1985 just made the top 10 in the UK I think, have a good weekend 🥁🙏👍🥁

@@The-Tired-Drummer thanks for your comment TD, this version is the only one I know all the others I have not heard of them. Record companies must sit down and say yes or no to be released in other countries. Keep smiling 🥁🙏👍

@@Kingy-23drums Yes it’s interesting how us Utube drummer friends from all over the world 🌍 have songs to share that are hits in one country and unknown in another’s. It’s a really hot day here near Toronto, my usual routine it’s resting up all day to get enough energy to make a drum 🥁 cover 👍👍👍

​Yes it's been really hot here in the UK last week and still going, I haven't played the drums since I moved 4 weeks ago I have to much to do hopefully be back on them soon, all the videos I got done at my old house got another 8 I think in the bank. I didn't know you lived in Toronto my 2nd aunt lived in a place called king street Waterloo which I believe is part of Toronto, never met her she passed away a few years back and some family still live in the area but don't see them @@The-Tired-Drummer

@@Kingy-23drums I was born in Toronto, as well as both my parents, my father was born in 1914. I lived there all my life, I was a police 👮 constable for just over 30 years, I retired 12 years ago, and when I hit 60 years old my health started declining. Diabetes, then a brain 🧠 tumor that I still have, next came colon cancer. We moved away because we wanted a one story home, a bungalow 🏠 we ended up in a very small city two hours east of Toronto, instead of 3 Million people, we live in a city of 55,000 much more relaxed 😎 Waterloo was around 100 kms West of Toronto, I’ve been there many times, and King street is a VERY POPULAR STREET NAME HERE. Waterloo was a smaller city when I was growing up, but I just looked and it’s now 113,000 people, The Toronto and area have exploded with population. Our city Belleville Ontario, had 50,000 people and has grown to 55,000 and keeps going up. Like most of Canada we have a huge influx of people from India 🇮🇳 coming every year.

@@The-Tired-Drummer wow you have had a lot of bad luck in the last few years i wished you well and everything gets sorted. My 2nd aunt moved to waterloo in 1956 and stopped there all her life until she passed away a few years ago. In the UK we have had a massive influx of people from all over the EU and and africa and Asia and its only a matter of timer before this country goes up, even this week we have seen 3 towns have riots and the locals are fed up with mass imagration as the country is simply not big enough to take 500k extra people a year. Have a good weekend

@@The-Tired-Drummer it wasn't a massive hit for Motown, and I think Motown was more popular in the UK than anywhere else in the world they often did Motown tours. Keep smiling 👍🥁🙏

Many thanks for comment Greg the tambourine is not expensive www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354868950708?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TLrUAWdyTYG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=DwsIsYpbTEy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY. Also you can get a Ching ring they go over the hi hats and can be affective worth getting one. Beautiful day here in the UK red hot for a change 🤣 keep smiling 👍🥁🙏🥁

He Greg , I see what you mean about the tambourines showing up lately 😅😅😅

@@gregwonhoff7161 many thanks for the comment Greg, funny you say that I just had a coffee 2hours ago and I fell asleep 🤣 I think moving home as caught up with me so stressful having to deal with fartheads. Have a good weekend keep smiling 🥁🙏🥁👍

Many thanks for the comment Greg, yes rolling stones had the big hit with it , but a few bands in the UK covered it. Have a good weekend 👍🙏🥁👍

@@Kingy-23drums You too, have a good weekend. I pray all is well health wise for you, my friend.🙏🙏🙏

Just the normal aches and pains and a dodgy back at my age 🤣

@@Kingy-23drums Okee dokee, my friend across the pond.

Gee I seem to somehow recognize this song 🎵 I’m only kidding 😊 sorry to hear about your sore back, I must of missed this on previous comments. If you recall I had to take about five weeks off because of my back, a few months ago. I hurt my back just adjusting the tilt of a Tom Tom , So I remember you saying you were moving, I still see you in the same room, have you moved yet ? Just wondering 🤔

Thanks for the comment TD, I never heard your last one before, be 2 northern soul ones next for me soon. Cheers 🙏👍🥁

Thanks for the comment TD, yeah funny that I thought they get released all over the western countries. It's like when I watch you or earl or drummerman and others , I just don't know some of the songs. Have a good weekend 👍🙏🥁

Many thanks Greg for the comment, this was a hit in 1972 not sure it was an hit outside the UK, was quite a well known song back then. Have a good weekend keep 🙏🥁👍👍

@@gregwonhoff7161 many thanks for the comment Greg, I keep trying 😀 I been looking at modern music last 10 years and it's real struggle to find 1 good record. How's the Johnny kidd song going on? Keep smiling 🙏👍🥁🥁

@@Kingy-23drums Johnny Kids has me shakin’ all over 😂😂😂

Thanks for the comment TD, Dire Straits did a song in 1980 with the same title but the song was totally different, i cant think of another group who sang this version version though. Cheers

@@Kingy-23drums , yes I did google it and the Reflections were the band, I just didn’t remember. Good song 🎵

Many Thanks DM59 🙏👍

@@The-Tired-Drummer Many thanks for the comment TD, yeah just trying to think out of the box , I try to do songs that there isn't 30 drum covers on you tube already, but when you do that, not many people watch 🤣 have a good weekend 👍

Many thanks for the comment Greg, everyone as there favourite from the Beatles mine was Ringo of course, have a good weekend 🥁🙏🙏👍

@@Kingy-23drums You too, my friend,❤️🙏🏻❤️

Thanks for the comment Greg, do wah diddy I completely forgot about that one to be honest, 😁 have a good weekend 🥁🙏👍🥁

@@Kingy-23drums You have a good weekend to, my good friend. I hope Do Wa Diddy is coming up in the near future.😂

Don't think I got it, but will have a look, I just moved so no time for drums for a month, all the videos I put on now are what I got stacked up from my old house​@@gregwonhoff7161

Thanks for the comment TD my choice of Manfred Mann is , go now cheers have a good weekend 👍

@@gregwonhoff7161 , I just looked 1959, I was 5 years old, but my brother was 15 ,so all the top songs were always played in our house.

Thanks for the comment Greg, yep keep them cells turning that's what I do everyday, trying to learn and keep learning as I didn't no that at school that's for sure. Got a few more 50s ones coming up in the next 2 weeks Keep smiling ,🥁🙏🥁👍

Glad I am not young today , the music is terrible

@@Kingy-23drums I keep listening and trying to find something I like. I am on a Crash Adam’s kick right now.😂

@@The-Tired-Drummer I am guessing your house was a whirlwind of activity when you were little, and I am also guessing you didn’t mind the older girls popping in and out.😂😂

Thanks for the comment TD yes big hit in the UK as well i think she was only 15 at the time have a good day its 11am here in the UK

Many thanks earl 🙏🥁👍

Many thanks for the comment Greg, shaking all over yes Johnny kidd and the pirates , I did prefer another song of theirs, I never get over you. Hope it goes well for you, will we see it on you tube, go for it Greg, I wish you luck with it. Keep smiling 👍🥁🥁🙏

@@Kingy-23drums I just listened to I’ll Never Get Over You and love that Mercy Beat sound that so many of the early to mid 60s British songs had. That brings back great memories of my teen years. I do like Shakin’ All Over better though. See you later, my young friend.❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

@@gregwonhoff7161 yes Greg there were loads of groups around that time coming from that area. Keep smiling 🥁🙏👍

Thanks for the comment Hilts, I just remember it from when i was young, and when i did some digging on the song it was Lee Danson Elvis Presleys friend who sang it, and playing the Drums was Earl Palmer, one of the best drummers of the 50s. I did my best to keep up with him cheers🥁🥁🙏👍

Yup I’m in the same boat 🛶 can’t say I’ve ever heard this one before, but that’s cool 😎 It’s nice to hear different songs 🎵

@@The-Tired-Drummer Many thanks for the comment TD yes its very rare and i know not many will know it, just want to test myself with different styles cheers 🥁🥁👍

Like the others who commented, Gary, I have never heard this fast-paced piece of music history before. This one might be a scosh too fast for me to keep up with. Thanks for sharing your work with all of us. I was almost going to wish you a happy 4th of July, but then didn’t want to be a stinker about the whole thing. How about have a wonderful day, my good friend.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️

@@gregwonhoff7161 Thanks for the comment Greg, its your Independence day from us i believe 4 July. We are having a vote in the Uk for new leader, i never bother i just dont bother with politics , never have. So enjoy tomorrow keeep smiling 🥁🥁🙏🙏👍👍

Many Thanks terry 👍

Many thanks TD I was the youngest, so I had to listen to a lot of music when I was young and my dad played loads of music as well. 👍🙏🥁

@@Kingy-23drums , I was the the youngest as well, my brother was 10 years older, and was the source of music 🎵 It was the beginning of Rock and Roll 🎸 we had all the records earlier bands even before Buddy Holly days, I was 10 when the British Invasion hit. The Beatles on Ed Sullivan.

@@The-Tired-Drummer wow my brother and sister were about 12 14 years older than me, I might have been a mistake 😁and I can remember watching a hard days night was on every Christmas in the late 60s and early 70s the music today I find is💩 my grandson listens to some weird music, does my ears in 😁

@@Kingy-23drums , the reason for me coming ten years later, is because my parents just couldn’t afford a second child back then. My older brother was born in 1945 after the war, and it took him years of begging, for a baby brother. I only had the one brother, he was a wonderful brother and always took me under his wing. It was a big job for him, with my two parents working, he had to do a lot of babysitting me 🤣🤣🤣 he’s first son came when I was around 14 years old and he was like me having a baby brother, very happy memories. My brother died at 63 years old, heart ❤️ and my nephew died at 47 🙁 heart attack. That’s life.

@@The-Tired-Drummer😢❤️🙏

Thanks for the comment Hilts, just think of songs that I can remember when I was young, this one is obscure that's for sure, think they only made one record cheers 🙏🥁👍

Nice work! 👍🏻

@@earldrum Many thanks Earl 🙏👍🥁

Thanks for the comment Greg not sure if it would be allowed today with all this PC stuff going on 😁🥁🥁 👍👍

@@Kingy-23drums It’s funny that I thought the exact same thing.

Many thanks for your comment Greg. I am 14 years younger than your good self and I am no where near your standard of education that's for sure. I have tried not to take life to serious, and not materialistic one bit. Being the youngest I would listen to music growing up from my older brother and my dad played the piano accordion, and always had music on. Never played drums until 4 years ago, to keep my brain active, and to give me something to do. My last 10 years was working at Nottingham forest football club ( English premier league)as the clubs mascot but it all stopped when Covid came and no one went to football. So I decided then time is against me let's enjoy life more, so I try and keep smiling no matter what. Love all sports horse racing, cricket, ice hockey, my city is only a few who as a major ice hockey team Nottingham Panthers. Lot of Americans and Canadains play who not quite made it, or have made it and going down the scale. We had brian mcgratton, he was good to watch 😁Have a good weekend 👍👍🙏🥁🥁

@@Kingy-23drums Gary, thank you for taking your time to introduce yourself a bit more. We play drums, and are fortunate to be able to do so.❤️🙏❤️🙏

Thanks for the comment TD, I wasn't a big fan of there's but I did like them. I am amazed you have only had 40 views in 6 months, I wonder if you tube have been at the figures like earl was talking about the other day. I believe that mott the hoople was going to disband and David Bowie wrong this song for them as one last chance, not sure how true that is🤔 have a good weekend keep 🥁🥁🥁 Cheers 👍

@@Kingy-23drums , Yes it was David Bowie who helped them out with this song, your story is correct. I always joke that I should have used the name THE UNKNOWN DRUMMER 🥁, instead of The Tired Drummer because of my poor views. It’s nothing new. For a long time it did bother me, but after I hurt my back and couldn’t play for a month I started to just not care anymore. I generally get poor view numbers, and feel if I get between 50-80 I’m satisfied 🙂. I have another utube drummer friend, Drum Man 59 We can play the exact same song 🎵 and he can get 800 views and I get 60, meanwhile he just shoots from a cellphone and not to put him down but I’m a much better drummer than he is and I have such a better sound, picture and editing production quality. We both talk about this and just can’t figure out why this happens. I spend a minimum of 3 hours into every video that I’m putting out Ever since I’ve been using two cameras it’s added hours to my production. I didn’t know how to do this for the longest time , Earl kept suggesting for me to go this way, and I just told him I’m not tech savvy enough and don’t have great editing programs. It took a while and I have learned a lot, pushing myself to learn, I’m now comfortable enough with my productions. Sometimes the hardest thing is to get the music sync to the videos and at times it can take an hour, and other times one minute. I’m working with two video clips and a separate audio track, I do enjoy making these Drum Covers and it keeps my mind working to complete each video. So yes at times it’s very frustrating putting in all the work and making a good video and it gets poor views 😕 I enjoy watching my own videos and seeing my progress and sometimes I’m impressed that I played the song very well. In the beginning of 2023 I had roughly 200 subscribers, and now in 2024, I’m getting close to 1000 subscribers, and that’s my reward 🤗 It’s just a hobby , I’m having fun 🤩 and exercising my brain 🧠 and have a lot of utube drum 🥁 friends from all over the world 🌎.

@@The-Tired-Drummer yes drummer man 59 yes I follow him, he don't half bang them out, but good luck to him. I don't bother either with microphones and video editing I just shoot the video and sound with Zoom Q2n-4k Camera I then just chop off the beginning and end as I walk to the drums and away from them in Microsoft movie maker. It's very basic cannot do anything else but suits me I just can't be bothered spending time doing all the editing. I am just looking for a reasonable picture and sound. Have a good weekend 👍🙏🥁

@@Kingy-23drums , you have a good picture and sound 👍 you just need to work on the room acoustics when you move to your next place.

@@The-Tired-Drummer yes it will do thanks, why don't you think about getting one they not expensive, yes was supposed to be moving this week, but it's been delayed, hopeless solicitors in the UK.👍👍🥁

Not interested thanks I don't take my drumming too seriously, just an hobby to keep my brain ticking over

Many thanks for the comment Greg, ya not rambling you just explaining the situation. Now I had the same problem recording on my daughter's I phone it was terrible, so I looked in to buying a camera with sound built in and I come up with one of these and they are great www.andertons.co.uk/zoom-q2n-4k-handy-video-recorder/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwm_SzBhAsEiwAXE2Cv7ZH_SF2IdHKYD0Jct-ZIksWFvyyXTLgSVuOkZyeLPXYf2y11gX6XhoCNB4QAvD_BwE. You have different settings on it I just use auto. The battery is rubbish but I use a usb power point and it lasts hours when fully charged. Now with the music I have a mini hi fi with usb on it. So I put my songs I want to do on a usb pen from my pc, then put the usb pen in the mini hifi and select usb and the songs play. Hope that helps, have a good weekend. Cheers 👍👍🙏🙏🥁🥁

This is the camera with sound. ZOOM Q2N-4K HANDY VIDEO RECORDER

@@Kingy-23drums Thanks for your description of how you do things.❤️🙏

No problem let's hope to see you up and running soon ​@@gregwonhoff7161

Thanks for the comment TD , you are spot on the song goes way back and as been recorded many times over the the last 90 year's. Yes the song wasn't a massive hit in the UK, here comes the night was there biggest I think , before they split up. Have a good weekend 👍👍🙏🥁🥁

Many thanks for the comment TD I am moving soon so I be doing the same thing, trying to bank a few to put on whilst I set things up. Cheers 👍🙏🙏🥁

Many thanks for the comment Hilts, yes agree that's why I decided to do this one. Cheers 👍🥁🙏

M@W has such a unique sound. I’m not too sure if I have ever heard this one before, so thank you for opening up yet another door leading to more good music.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️

​Many thanks for the comment Greg, yes like hilts below said when they play a men at work song it's always down under. Like in the UK if they play a Jerry lee Lewis song it's always great balls of fire or bill Haley it's rock around the clock, drives me mad. Keep smiling cheers 👍🙏🙏🥁🥁​@@gregwonhoff7161
