I like a tall bit about, you know, drumming.
Drumming, yeah, we got the drums there, like, uh
Why is that?
What are we gonna do?
Well, [A#] I just think that some of your drum patterns, you know,
uh, you know, like this particular song, when I was listening to the radio,
I think I mentioned before, and Ticket to Ride came on the radio.
Yeah.
The drum pattern, I immediately noticed, wasn't a straightforward drum pattern.
And how does it go?
[D#] [G]
Hang on a minute there.
A [A] bit like
[E] [D] Hang on.
I'm coming out!
[G] [N]
Yeah.
Hey, was that it?
Well, there's one very interesting
It was pretty close.
There was one very interesting thing, [F#] which
The second downbeat Yeah.
And I think [A] it's because [G] of the shoulder
When I play with my shoulder, you see, there's [C#] [B] [F#m]
like
[Am] Exactly.
You know, [C#] even this
Exactly, [Bm] [Am] and that second downbeat [E] is
Slightly late.
Yeah.
Whenever I've tried to get drummers to play with me that track,
they never seem to get that lateness, and it's to do with the swing, isn't it?
It is to do with the swing, or as we keep mentioning, medication.
Medication?
Let's jump in another one.
Yeah.
Here's another one that is
Great guitar, look at that.
Thank you very much.
A great one, which
A very
I don't think I've ever found a drummer to play this one right.
And you can probably explain why, because it's a very usual
Well, when you tell [Am] me what it is, I might be able to
I'm not going to tell you, I'm just going to play the beginning.
Oh, [D] you're going to
[B] [Am]
[D]
And then it falls, I [N] think, it goes into a pause there.
You recognise it, of course.
I keep going to hit that now, it's been so long.
The interesting thing with this pattern is that it's actually the bass
that opens that song.
Yeah.
And, you know, John's words
[A#] [Fm] [N] That's the intro, there's no, like, reverse or anything.
And so we're sitting around, and it was just like playing with
what he was saying, and with what the bass line was doing.
And, you know, trying to find sort of an interesting piece.
Besides this part that comes in several times,
the rest of it is just [Dm] like
It's just like fours, you know what I mean?
It's real [Am] easy.
But why we got to this is because, you see, I'm left-handed,
and I'm playing a right-handed kit.
If there's any drummers in here, you see, they usually go
You know, they go round the drum this way.
Well, I can't do that.
I can't go
[N] I have to get this hand down.
So that's why everyone thought, wow, he's a genius,
but all he was doing was trying to play backwards.
You know, so he goes
So he comes round this way, and all my fills, which, you [F#m] know
[B] You [D] know, they don't come in fast, there's always a break,
because I [C#] have to get this hand ready.
[F#m]
And get back, you know what I'm saying?
So [N] it's like one of those mad accidents, you can't learn it.
I was left-handed, my grandmother didn't like that,
she made me go right-handed.
And so I have a right-handed kit, but actually I'm a left-handed player.
I hope that answers all your questions.
I'll be getting this, Brent.
Can you just play back off the loop a little sec?
[E] Ah, yeah.
Why we have that [F#] drum pattern.
[E] [N] Great.
It's because he said, you know, give it that sort of bass drum.
And I can't do that and this.
You know, I can't do them both together, so I just sort of cheated.
So, OK, two, [F#] three, four.
[Em] So that's how it came [N] to be done on the snare drum,
because I couldn't just play that bass drum pattern.
So it's magic.
It's magic.
[E] Well, I think
You know, I'd like to sit here and tell everyone,
oh, yeah, you know, it took me an hour or three days
to seriously think out this pattern.
But actually it happens at the time for me.
You know, I can't struggle like that.
You know what I mean?
It comes naturally or it doesn't come at all.
Or it don't come easy.
Or it don't come easy.
Let's try it.
OK.
[A]
[E] [A]
[E] I was a sailor first, [A] I sailed the sea.
Then I [E] got a job [A] in a factory.
[D]
Played [E] Butlin's Camp [A] with my friend Rory.
It was good [E] for him, it was [A] great for [D] me.
[A] [E] Liverpool, [B] I left you,
[A] said [C#m] goodbye to [A] Madryn Street.
[E] I had to follow [B] my heart
[C#m] and I never missed [A] a beat.
[E] Destiny [B] was calling,
[C#m] I just had to leave [A] this town.
[E] Liverpool, [B] I left [C] you,
[C#m] but I never let you [A] down.
Drumming, yeah, we got the drums there, like, uh
