It's been 9 months since I last covered a Police song - and doing this one has reminded me why!! Trying to copy any of Mr. Copeland's wonderful drum parts is just horrific, even on something that some might consider to be relatively 'straightforward', like King Of Pain! I have to admit that I am now moving into difficult territory for me: so far the Police covers I have done are songs I have been copying for years. 'King Of Pain' is brand new for me, 'cos I have never really ever bothered to ...

Okay, well here at last is my INTERPRETATION of this wonderful live track by Genesis - taken from their Wembley Concert in 1987. As an aside, I might add that I was in the audience that night!! Never managed to spot myself on the dvd that you can buy though :-( I don't know about you lot, but this is one of the few 'modern' Genesis numbers that I like (for me, 'modern is defined as anything after 'Abacab', but a lot of you will say modern is anything after Wind & Wuthering, or Lamb Lies Down ...

This is my band, Cornerstone, playing our version of Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Sweet Home Alabama'. I tell you what, I found it really tough to cover - copying yourself is actually really difficult!!! I don't mean this in a 'aren't I a great drummer' kind of way - I mean that for some reason it was really hard to play the exact same part as I played in the recording studio, when in fact I usually play it differently each time. I am of course referring in particular to those little fills just after ...

I have to admit right at the start that this is not a drum cover that I had ever intended to do! I don't know this one very well, and, to be honest, it is not one of my favorite Genesis tracks. Having said all that, there is a very good reason why I have tried to play this. One of my subscribers, 'Matt' wrote to me during my copyright problems back in January. He wrote such a moving letter, saying how devastated he would be if my account got closed down, that I promised him I would cover 'No ...

Ok, here is my attempt at playing drums along to one of my favorite tracks, by any artist, of all time. This is the original, 13 minute version, from their 'Love Over Gold' album. This is Part 1 of a two part video. Don't forget to watch Part 2! I am sorry, but I had to cut out the first minute or so. There are no drums, and I run the risk of having the video blocked if I use too much of the original audio track - apologies. I have a feeling that this video will provoke some mixed reactions ...

Here is my attempt at playing drums along to one of my favorite tracks, by any artist, of all time. And this is Part 2 of a 2 part video, ok?!! I have a feeling that this drum cover of mine will provoke some mixed reactions. Dire Straits fans will hopefully enjoy and appreciate it. However, I have a slightly sinking feeling that others will perhaps find it boring and/or will not appreciate the subtlty and beauty of the original drum part. Lets see! When I was around 15, I used to drum along ...

This is my attempt at covering the incredible 'Hey Joe' by Jimi Hendrix, whose drummer, Mitch Mitchell, was just absolutely phenomenal. Mitch and Jimi were made for each other, the two of them combining in a way that has rarely if ever been matched in the rock world. The only reason I even attempted to learn this drum part was because my band decided to cover it - its now a regular part of our live set. Otherwise, frankly, I would have stayed well away from it! I find Mitch's style extremely ...

PRESS THE 'HQ' BUTTON! This is Part 1 of a two part Medley. The real exciting stuff is in Part 2, ok?!! You'll find it on my Genesis Playlist, on my Channel :-) Before anyone lays into me, please note that this first part of the medley is NOT THE SAME as the Three Sides Live version - which is why you will notice some important differences in the drum part to what we are all well used to! So, where to start with describing this wonderful Medley? I was in the audience at Wembley Stadium in ...

PLEASE PRESS THE 'HQ' BUTTON! Right, well here is Part 2 of the two-part epic Genesis Medley. If you have not watched Part 1 yet, then why not?!!! It's on my Channel. This bit is what this whole 18 minutes of effort has been all about - 'In That Quiet Earth'. I personally think that this live version is one of the most powerful, epic, wonderful pieces of music Genesis ever put out on a stage :-) In That Quiet Earth - the tempo is frightening, and it is extremely intricate! And it is in 9/4 ...

UPDATE 27th FEB 07 - since posting this I have worked hard to make contact with various interested parties. I have been in personal contact with EFF and even the Personal Manager of Genesis and Phil Collins. (Cool, eh?!). I submitted formal disputes on four videos. Anyway, four days ago, one of my videos was suddenly officially 'Dispute Successful'. Then two days ago, the other 'Dispute Pending's', suddenly vanished. They appear to have been successful as well. All my vids are back up. No ...
