Members theDan Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 What about 22 seconds in right before he starts crashing it sounds like an open hi hat (although it could be a crash)? and if this is so im pretty impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't play a regular 4/4 beat using hi-hats, and EVERY drummer I've ever heard does use a hi-hat and it drives me nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members turdadactyl Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks for stopping in to bitch in broad, general terms about every drummer who ever plays Purple Haze. It's so nice to see you're keeping with your regular practicing of posting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carminemw Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 I think you need to go look at the woodstock video again...either hats or cymbal, he's playing them...do lots of intermittent fills, but still playing them. Just cause you can't here them doesn't mean that they are not there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thomas G Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 I actually just noticed this...yesterday?... myself. I found it interesting, but I think I'll still continue to play it with hats so the rest of the pep band doesn't look at me with judgmental eyes.

I'm really surprised that no one has agreed with me! I would think that someone here would know how to accurately play Purple Haze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cdawg Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 i don't think i've ever played a song the same way twice. if that's what's expected, they can get a drum machine. if i'm gonna play a cover, i'll listen and play what i think is appropriate. unless i'm going for a tribute-thing. (side note: the only drummer i tried to play note-for-note had been "puffy," in a faith no more cover. that dude has such a strange style. very cool.)

Members sydfan Posted October 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 Then prove us wrong.Or it'll sound ridiculously out of place as I try to fill up a basketball stadium with ghost notes on a snare drum.I joke around and everyone takes it so seriously, which is why I kinda feed it. I just re-read and realized it'sa pep band and not a rock band. I don't know. But it does amaze me that I've never heard it covered properly.

Members RumStik Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 ...it does amaze me that I've never heard it covered properly. Well, you should have been in PA at the Freeland Park Pavilion in 1978 when I played it with proper crash-riding and sang it too, as part of a medley that included Fire and Wind Cries Mary.

Members marko46 Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 Syd, you've NEVER heard me play it either.I assume you play every cover note for note also. And I'm guessing your a lead guitarist.It never ceases to amaze how much you guys know about how drums should be played, but couldn't play a double paradiddle/flam tap if your whammy bar depended on it. You guys are true freaks of musical nature. But I get it, no hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just something that's always bugged me when I hear a band do Purple Haze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
