www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9eWGdJIW74&feature=relatedsome time ago I was listening to Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels do CC Rider, and it occurred to me how cool the bass and the drummer were at making a neat 'shuffle' on 16th beats. I've pointed that out to others who though thought the rendition was cool, they couldn't catch what I was pointing out. Now, I'm not the sharpest tack in the wall, but isn't odd that when you have some kind of musical inclination, you notice things that the common don't.

Definitely. I play bass and believe me it's more fun to play a shuffle like that than a typical thump-thump-thump like an old Elvis tune. But it all depends on the drummer. If you listen to the Animals version or even the Elvis version, it's a typical 1-2-1-2 pattern. It works but doesn't have the same drive that Mitch's version does.

Exactly, and oh yeah... I made a really boo boo. I meant to say the bass/bass drum and the snare were hitting in the 16's, the bass drum pedal is smacking a constant on the 8th's.
Man, that dude's on a roll.
After listening to this, Ray Charles version puts me to sleep.

Not a problem. I had a pretty good idea of what you meant. Ifyou want to really mess up your head, listen to Mitch, the Animal, Ray and THEN listen to Elvis do it in Vegas. Not even the same song!

Don't forget Chuck Willis' version THEN Elvis. You're right they're not the same at all.

I still dig Mitch's 60's version the most.

Waaaaay back in the day, we used to do a lot of Mitch Ryder stuff. Too young to realize why it technically had such a good groove. We just knew that pretty young things would get up on the dance floor and stay there. When you're an adolescent rocker, what else is there in life?

Mitch's drummer was a driving force behind all of his material. John "The B" played behind Mitch Ryder with the Detroit Wheels, and later with the band "Detroit", and also with the band the "Rockets".... He still tours today.........  |
