I used Nikolas 2105 air-dry. I also use Egyptian if I do a full horn. Both nitrocellulose lacquers airdry. I get too many compliments on how much more open horns seem to play with nitro. There are so many reasons that I am not interested in baked finishes. I used to spay them back in the 80's at a different shop I was in. Never cared for how they flowed out. All this said, overly thinned nitro or the canned stuff will not last real long. 50/50 or 60/40 lacquer to thinner works well with good longevity. It does darken with age. I have examples that have held up so well for 15 to 25 years. I have also hsd horns that I sent out for 2 part baked that have not weathered all that well for the hype. All finishes are temporary in nature. Silver plate and nickel plate are among the most long-lasting and least temporary. All lacquers are more subject to elements like sweat, salts, low and high ph. But lacquers are oh so pretty.

@@jimflys2 thanks, that's useful information 👍

Thank you so much for listening and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. I have done many Carlos Vega drum covers. I saw him one time with James Taylor! WOW!

Yes. EARL and I are good friends. I may do another Pat tune. Met Lyle some 30 years ago. Worked on his trumpet. Yes, trumpet, not piano! LOL! Also did one lesson with Wertico at his place in Skokie, IL.

@jimflys2 Lyle is one of those very special musicians for me and he and Pat together were such a force. What an awesome privilege Jim! Saw Pat one night in Georgetown and tried to buy him a 🍺

​@@thedrumdon2485cool. D.C. right?

Thanks KMK! I agree with you about DG. I am doing this tom thing because I want to see how it works. Kenny did it back in the day and Bernard as well. Not sure if it was so that there was less snare to small tom sympathetic buzz or if for sticking on how they played fills or if they preferred the larger tom on most fills, but had the smaller one to use for orchestration when it called for it. I have no idea. I kind of like it depending on the type of song. For jazz, I think I would be better of in the trad set up. For rock fills that don't use the typical high to low drop, it is kind of cook. Think RLRL and it is pretty ergonomic. Small, Med, Floor, Floor.

Share Chemical company. Milwaukee. Dilute, do not use full strength. Dilute to start with about 10 to 20% and the rest water. Don't let it touch aluminum or cast parts that have any aluminum exposed like tapped holds that are threaded. Have a soda water neutralizing bath at the ready.

Thanks so much. Yes, my drum covers are listed by category, so whatever you like. Some styles I regularly play live, I do not do much with covers. More to come, my friend!

Love that story, Kent! Yeah, super swinging, hard driving, happy and joyful. Dang!

I used Ferree's gold dye added to the lacquer at an amount, that after spaying some test pieces, seemed to be the color I wanted. Google Ferree's Tolls Inc....... X82A 4 oz. (118 ml) Perma-Laq Dye

Super, thank you!

If I could play it as good as the original, I'd be getting calls from A list jazz cats and probably not do drum covers. None the less, I do appreciate your comment, and yes, this album is a special one for me, too.

After listening numerous times to the original and then jimflys2 cover, he captured all the nuances of Gottlieb's playing and put it all in the pocket. I like as well, if not better. Sorry, I think you're blowing a lot of "hot air!"

Well thanks for watching, bird. I think I know you :)

​@jimflys2 ha! You're in NY?

Thanks Randy. Yes, a great mellow song, but some great energy too. I used just overhead mics and a kick mic on this one. Kind of like the minimal approach.

Thanks a bunch. Much appreciated. Been in a Metheny mood lately.

Groooovy, man. Great drumming and cymbal play. Super drum sounds and video work. You make it all look so effortless, my high flying friend.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️

@@gregwonhoff7161 I played through this a few times until I got comfortable and things were flowing. The first few times, were on effortless. Thanks, Greg.

For you....no problem!

@@jimflys2 thank you no I get my hammer out! 😂😂😂 and do it! 😎🙏🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🥁

Thanks Randy. Working on some others in the hopper. Very busy in the shop, so less evening time and less output this summer.

Thanks Greg, so much! It's all about being brothers and supporting each other. For me and Earl, we have formed a good friendship and have a ton in common and talk on the phone a fair bit. I just love the Garth version of this song. Then I found out it was a Billy Joel song. Then one day, for the lack of inspiration on what to play next, it hit me. Have Earl do the Billy version and I will do the version I first heard. He was on board with it and we set forth. If you have any ideas for us, I am sure we can run it by each other. No double drumming on Freebird. Well, maybe.................

thanks very much. I appreciate every view I get and am especially grateful when I get comments. Have a great week!

@jimflys2 I'm making my band learn this song now and I'm going to try and sing it as it's in my vocal range! Thanks for the inspiration my man!!

Thanks, Walter. I would love to due more collaborations. Fun stuff.

They call me the Breeze! Thanks so much! We had fun, but Earl's got partially blocked due to the record company. Mine did not say anything about blockage. It was fun to do a collab.

Thank you, my friend. This was fun to do with you!

@@jimflys2 as long as we have fun … that’s what matters! We need to talk about the new UA-cam! It’s getting stranger everyday! I thought your version was stellar! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@@earldrum Yes, call anytime.

Thanks so much! You too.

I have the Tama version of this too. I will do a disassembly video for you and explain it as I go. It would be a good offering for others too. It should be the same process for you, since Camco did license Tama and DW to start their productions of this. Or something like that. It is a history lesson in itself.

Thanks, Greg. Hope to get more stuff out soon.

Thanks so much, my friend. Yeah, I have a few secrets. LOL! Sure, let's do an interview if you'd like. I think that is the A of 1....Like: 1e&A and 4. Yeah that is a Lek T-bone part. He's kind of the big brother, older uncle of the youth music scene. He's probably around 60 or so now. ua-cam.com/video/m2TXA98nCgc/v-deo.html&sttick=0

You are welcome!

Thanks, bruv! I really appreciate that, my friend.

Love me some Stevie! Thanks for commenting. I do appreciate it.

Thanks so much. It was one I needed to do. I have a lot of Thai pop songs I'd like to do, just not sure how they will go over. But my Thai friends may dig them. I just don't want to alienate anyone.

Yes. Thank you. You know about seasons for sure.

Thanks, Randy. Just another that I wear.

Thanks, Howard. You're the best. The best teacher, father figure and mentor.

Thank you SO much, Walter. That is very needed, bro!

If the tubes don't have red rot, yes. If they do, well they will continue to rot. I love 354s. Send some pics to the email in my description. Let's talk!

Have you seen some of my other videos? ua-cam.com/video/IWLJzTPcO7c/v-deo.htmlsi=RNhGJanl3O0TQOw2

I appreciate that so much!

Thanks ,Rich! Yeah, great song.

❤ thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks,Bob. I missed your comment. I was camping a week ago. Really fun, this Stevie stuff. Have a great weekend! Dean Martin impressionist gig for me today! Always fun a show to do!

Lol. I practice both grips. Usually using it more for rock...matched. More comfortable playing jazz with trad. But I will switch hit all the time.

No doubt. They are great!

I took your one take, no rehearsal on this one. Been really busy with practicing music for gigs lately. So it took 30 minutes. Have played this on live gigs a number of times.

@@jimflys2 it was great Jim! Laid back in the pocket! Great drumming! Sometimes you have to knock few out quickly!

Cool. I've not seen that. They are very good.

Aw, bless you, brother! I heard this on the way home and had to do it quick. I have been quite busy lately with gigs and rehearsals. Summer is going to be a busy one!

So glad you're gigging and will be this summer! You seem very relaxed at the kit, looks like you can do anything...🎵​@@jimflys2

​@@randyedward1i had an amazing Brazilian gig last Sat. It was heavenly!

Mr.flys2, that was a super shuffling performance. Thank you for sharing your work with us.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️

@@gregwonhoff7161 Thanks Greg. A fun one to do. Love to shuffle.

Thank you so much Walter! I appreciate that so much!
