Great tune.

Sometimes all you need is simple stuff as a drummer.

Simple is best...sometimes!

Talk about a great live band sound...

Anybody catch the drums? Hard to get a good look at them but they look like Ludwig 70's Blue Oyster "Bowling Ball" drums to me?

Those drums look familiar.

The drums shown below are early 60s Blue Oyster Pearl Ludwig’s...with a "later tweak"

(Added years later... a second 9x13 tom with Evans oil heads on all toms.)

At that time I guess I wanted a less aggressive resonant sound on the toms.

P.S.

The little guy in the first photo below (my oldest son) is now 36 years old.....and the drums are still around for his two little boys to beat on.

The 4th and 5th photos below date back to 1964 when we were working a double bill with the King Curtis band in Montreal.

This song is one of our regulars in our set list. I love playing this song. We play it a little more up tempo:cool:

I've always succumbed to laying that backbeat on the snare in a very intricate snare-hat-bass pattern. The cross stick felt like being bound up with rope. Every fiber says it's wrong to hit that snare, but it feels so good when you release and play it.
