Apollo 440 - Electro Glide In Blue. Minute-Groove 10 (R)

#drums #apollo440 #electroglideinblue

As a sign of the times and for life in the fast lane: “The One Minute Groove”. For your educational enjoyment - compressed!

This jam to Apollo 440’s music is a free interpretation from my part. My way of honoring this beautiful song.
This song is from their 1997 release “Electro glide in blue”:

Most of the things I cover (concerning both drum-style and choice of music) is a result of the “soundtrack of my life”. And my highest hope is of course that this can lead to musical discoveries (from a great area of music) for someone else. And for the ones that know this music at least lead to rediscovery and revitalization of a golden past. Don’t hesitate to comment on my posts whether it’s questions, recommendations or critic.

... and I use the app “Moises” to remove drums from songs to make them into new great drum-tracks:

Smooth! I’ll have to check out the song—I’m not familiar with them, but it sounds cool.
