[F#m] 1956 or 7, [F#] scratch, with a round badge, which for those who collect them is quite important.
[D] The era I've [F] learnt to play, this particular
[D] make [B] and drums were like what [A] everybody loved
to [C] use in the [F#] early 70s.
I was doing a session for Ronnie Wood in Los [F#m] Angeles [A] and one of his many solo epics [F#] and
he hired a drum kit from SIR [B] and the boy [F#] that got it, the drum kit, brought this along [C] which
was like his favourite one in the [C#] place and he [G] looked after it [B] and I fell in love with it.
[D#m] I used it the whole time on Ronnie's, [C] I've forgotten which one it was, [E] [G] but anyway, [A#] and
[E] [D] [C#]
I've had it ever since and I [E] use it all the time.

I love Steotis Redding's [B] thing you do, [C#m] I can't send you loose, but I [A] love that song.
Going to a Go-Go is great to [F] play, they're very [B] straight ahead and they're about the
groove really, you [D] just get into the groove, [A] particularly with Going to a Go-Go, it's
just a lovely thing, that beat, you [Bm] know, with the tom-tom going.

[D] [E]
[G] Because of [D] how I learnt to play and the people I [E] loved when I [Em] was young and was learning,
[A#] because I never [D] learnt in [E]
studies or anything, I used [C] to watch people [E] play and copy them
and all those guys [D#] happened to be jazz players which is what I liked, [D] but
[E] [D#] it's very, very
important, the ride [G#m] cymbals, the different sounds and the way you play them, very [D] important,
whereas in rock bands it's not so [E] important.
Some really, really great rock drummers, guys that play rock and roll have dreadful sounding
[D] cymbals really, but they don't [E] actually need them, and engineers don't like
[C#m] cymbals that
really ride [D] over everything, I [E] do, [Bm]
the way I play, they [C] don't like that because it's
not clean and [A] [E] you [D] can't control [B] it.
Most of [D] these cymbals are really old, this one is about 30 years old, it's [E] not older,
[D] and this one [A] is 30 years old, it's [E] flat, U-fit,
[A] these things [E] break all the time [C#] and these
are really old, these [C] are as [A#] old as these, [E]
but I keep [D] lots [E] of my things [C#m] I keep for [E] years,
not only drums, everything.
[C#m] This is a copy of an old one I had, this [E] thing, I wouldn't bring it out here, it's too delicate
[D#] and I use that with jazz, it's called a [D] Swish, which is an Ovidas and it's a really low ride.
This is for pianos really, but with [B] ours I use it with the guitars, that's just a crash,
[C] that has a bomb there, that's a bomb and that's a bottle, [C#]
so you can see we went [G#] down very
well some [A#] nights.
And this thing is the [D] usual, I use it as [B] a crash, it's like a Chinese cymbal, [A#] same as
that except that's got rivets [D] in, but this takes quite a hard bash every night and they
split on [F#] the edge, [C#] because you're not supposed, you [D#] originally weren't supposed to use, the
way they're made they're not really meant the way I play them, you know, [D] you're not
meant to crash these really, and they do take, [C] if you catch them wrong, this one's going
in, and this will go further and [C#] further and the sound will just choke up.
