Chords for The legendary Carl Palmer plays the Korg Wavedrum!

_ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [D] Hi, Karl Palmer, welcome.
_ As you know I'm playing with Ayesha at the moment and for [E] many many years
[C] I played with Emerson Lake and Palmer.
[Ab] So we're going to look at this wave [G] drum that I've got here and _
_ [E] I'll play a few things on it for you as well. _
_ _ Well, here's a little bit of rock and roll trivia for you.
One of the very first
electronic drum solos ever recorded.
[G] It was on an album by Emerson Lake and Palmer.
I had the first of the [E]
electronic drums, which I had made for me personally in England.
Well since then I never bothered.
I never bothered until we got to where we are now and _
I don't know what it [C] was.
I [Bm] was in a music shop one day, just like we all are.
I walked past and
I [Em] heard a sound that just I thought [G] was terrific.
[Ab] _
And I just got to play you that.
It's a very very simple sound,
but you just understand this one for a little while.
[G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] And I immediately said, what's that? _
I want one.
_ Checked it out.
It was the wave drum by Korg.
_ [Em] _ _
And that's really how it began.
And since [G]
the, I can say since the late 70s, I've not [Ab] bothered returning
to electronic drums in any way.
I [A] used a few in the 90s, a couple of [B] samplers and things.
I triggered [Em]
from
little pads and stuff.
But [A] to actually have one thing
that's complete [Bm] like this is, that I can get so [E] much out of.
Whether I play with my [D] hands
or the sticks or [C] whatever.
I just thought was [Em] fantastic.
The other sound that I really [C] enjoyed was the classic sort of
_ sampled snare drum sound [Ab] which we hear every day of the [E] week, believe it [Em] or not.
And I just thought, actually that's [D] become part of the drum set.
And it's [Gb] a heavy sort of gated snare drum sound.
Sounds like _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now I've got some of the best snare drums in the world, trust me.
Some of the very very best.
But you know
_ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ I need that.
And of course with this particular sound, we've got two sounds.
We've got the
_ _ _ authentic snare drum sound.
The minute you start to hit the hoop that
[Eb] _ _ _ Korg [N] have put around the wave drum, you get this heavier gritty sort of snare drum sound.
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ And that appeals to me.
So that's what I'm all about.
_ _ [E] And I could go on for quite a while.
The
[G] other sound which intrigued me and I actually use in my drum solo.
_ Only use it for a little while.
It's not like a big thing.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ But it's an interesting sound.
A little bit Australian sounding.
Let me just give you a touch of that. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ Well, I hope you all enjoyed that.
_ [D] Go and check [Em] it out.
I've had a great time with it.
A lot of [C] fun.
I'm still investigating.
It goes forever.
There's so much [D] there and [Em] I'm sure that once you get into it yourself, [C] you'll realize just how clever this little unit is.
[D] Anyway, [Em] thanks for watching.
I'll be back.
Karl [E] Palmer signing off.
[C] Thank you. _
