Let There Be Drums

Показать описание


The whole production was done remotely, using several commercial studios and many home-recording studios with final editing, production and mastering undertaken by Jon Bates. Video was supplied by the Artists, created whilst they were actually recording.

The recording process, thanks to Covid and lockdowns, was much slower than normal. A few drummers managed to record in commercial studios but since studios had to be shut for much of the time, more often than not the drummers relied on their own recording equipment at home. This, in many ways, worked well for the project as each drummer was able to have a very hands-on approach in creating the sound that they really wanted.
This, in turn, gives all the performances individuality and marked contrasts that, in a normal world, may never have occurred! The drummers come from all points on the stylistic spectrum, from Prog to Funk, Hard Rock to Jazz, Classical, Pop, R ‘n B and Soul.
All in all, it probably is the widest variety of drum kits on one recording!

This is an incredible video! I'm just blown away by the cohesion and precision of all these diverse styles of drumming, drummers, and drum kits. Somehow it all works perfectly and in a magnificent harmonious cacophony. The only thing wrong is I started thinking about other drummers who deserved to be included. If only the song was an hour long... or maybe two...

So wonderful to hear this again. Well done Don for bringing everyone together to produce this classic, in order to raise money to help all the technicians ect. So lovely to see Bev Bevan still has what it takes. He has not changed much over the years. Time has stood still for him. I remember Bev when he was with Roy Wood in the Move. Roy taught me how to play a guitar many years ago.
