Genesis -- Turn It On Again Live (drums by Jouxplan)
Uploaded by: jouxplan
Video Description:
since Duke's Travels / End is not yet ready for posting, I thought I would try and cover this fun track by our friends Phil and Chester, especially since someone on here asked me to do it.
I guess some people might say this is boring, or easy, or not exactly vintage Genesis. I don't know. What I do know is that it is great fun to drum along to, and is good practise mentally, with its weird turn-arounds.
I read recently that this song is in 13/8 or something. Dammed if I have ever thought it was anything that complicated -- if I had thought it was in 13/8 or 12/8 or whatever, I would have shat myself years ago and left it alone. No, for me, this is simply a 4/4 beat that shifts by half a bar every now and again. Much easier to cope with that line of thought, if you ask me!
Until yesterday, I had not realised the bass drum is actually pounding out quarter notes -- I had only ever played on the one and three. That caught me on the hop a bit (you try changing after 25 years playing 1 and 3!), but it definitely keeps the song skipping along much better. I LOVE the crash hits on the 'I', 'I', 'I'; and the tom thing coming out of that section and back to the verse is a real blast.
The outro (before the massive tom ending) is fun, and you need to concentrate, otherwise you can easily pop out of the fill on the turn around in the wrong part of the bar! The massive tom ending is a bit manic, and of course always sounds crap on your own - presumably Phil and Chester were both hitting big fat deep toms simultaneously (and one of'em thought they would hit a cymbal or two for good measure)!
I have not really prepared this cover much, so if someone wants to have a go at me for dropping a beat or a fill or whatever, fine: this is pretty much how I have played it for 25 years, so this is what you get! Hope it is not too boring for you!

Yes, I have been thinking of posting Domino, 'cos I can just about play it. It's not easy though, especially the last couple minutes!
I am gonna be posting the 20 minutes of 'Old Medley' off 'We Can't Dance' very soon. And also the old medley they did on their previous tour, which included In That Quiet Earth. Epic.
Have a look at my channel for list of forthcoming vids.
As for him drumming - well, he ignores the kit altogether! All his friends froth at the mouth and want to play it, but it bores him!!! His little sister is similarly disinterested - I guess they are too used to it. However, both of 'em are showing a talent and keen interest in keyboards - perhaps they will want to play like a certain Mr Banks?!
enjoyed it immensely, ty for doing it.
I'd love to learn how to play this, but am no good at picking stuff up from sound. If you have a spare moment could you write it down for me? Notation or tab is fine, but I'd prefer tab, but then again, only if you have a spare time.
I am afraid that even if I had the time (which I don't!) I cannot write out drum music! I am self taught, and learnt everything by ear. Certainly never learned how to read or write drum music. Can I suggest that if you listen AND watch my video of this, that should assist you greatly. Visual aids often work wonders.
I do sort of write out my own form of drum music, for tracks or parts that do my head in. But it is not 'official' notation - only I would understand it!
:-)
But anyway, thanks. I will have a go!
Have only been able to watch the first minute or so of your cover so far - sorry! It looks pretty good to me! I will watch it when I get home tonite, and leave a comment.
Yes, I think it is time I re-organised my vids into playlists: it's got too cumbersome with only 9 vids shown on the front page!
I have done Rush YYZ on here, but not really capable of any other Rush songs, apart from first half of Strangiata, which I am thinking of posting at some point. Who and Boston not really my cup of tea!
