Murray Head - Superstar drum cover (from Jesus Christ Superstar original album)

Playing along to the song "Superstar" from the original album "Jesus Christ Superstar". The lead vocal on this is sung by Murray Head. The album went to number 1 in 1971 and this song hit number 14 on the charts the same year. I always loved this song and the drumming and thought it would be a fun song to play eventually. The weather in Detroit this week has been in the high 90s, so today I figured I go into the cool basement and play my drums. I ran through this song a few times to get familiar with it, and got it recorded with the first take. I tried to play it so my drumming would capture the feel of the original recording. Video recorded Saturday afternoon, June 22, 2024.

Hearing this, I now remember thinking how the drums were really present in this song. Great selection and playing

Thank you very much for the comment, Dr. K. Greatly appreciated. I always thought this would be a fun song to play on drums, and I finally got to play it. Such a great well written song with excellent musicians and orchestration. Hopefully I did it justice. 🙂
