HOLY WAR, Thin Lizzy, drum cover by Dean Talbot #thinlizzy #drumcover #drums #drummer #rock #80smusic This is the 3rd of 3 songs that I recorded on the 29th June, and my 2nd cover off Lizzy’s “Thunder and Lightning” album. As I said in the previous video, years before I got into the likes of Dream Theater, and even Rush, I was a major Thin Lizzy fan. Up until now I hadn't done any of their stuff, but the recent passing of John Sykes (Dec 2024) prompted me to push this and the last one (Cold Sweat) up the running order. I was a massive Brian Downey fan back in those days, and this track stands out as one of his best for one simple reason. Brian Downey used 2 kick drums in his playing. By today’s standards, Downey would not be regarded as a regular double kick player, BUT, this song IS played with 2 feet, just not both on the kick. He fills in between the right foot/kick strikes with the left foot on the hi-hat. If you watch and listen carefully, you can see/hear this happening. In fact you can see how the Master himself plays it here - this is the Hitchin Regal performance when the album was released in ‘83. https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx9dQHkqsu... (PS: For those watching this clip, I haven’t slowed down the studio track. The live version is faster than the studio version). As a young drummer, this pattern fascinated me, and while I was a fan of all of his playing at the time, this one pattern has always stuck with me as one of the most imaginative pieces he ever played. One of my oldest memories of this song in fact was from a music lesson at school in 1983. I don’t remember what the lesson was about, I was fixated on trying to work out what Brian Downey had been doing with his feet on this track!. Observant viewers may also note that I am not using my usual sticks on this one. I normally use Pro-Mark oak sticks with tape wrapped around the shafts, to avoid slippage. They’re great sticks, but when it’s hot, they can slip, so I apply tape before using them. On the day I recorded this, it was SO hot that the tape adhesive was melting, and THE TAPE WAS SLIPPING! The only pair of sticks I have that aren’t wrapped, are some old Mike Mangini brand sticks. I don’t use them – I picked them up at a “meet and greet” with Mike himself in 2012, when my daughter and I went to London to see him soon after he joined Dream Theater. I bought the sticks as a souvenir, and have never used them, for 2 reasons - They weigh a freakin ton, and they’re also about an inch longer than my usual sticks! For non-drummers trying to get your head around this, think “trying to run 100 metres in hiking boots”, and you’ve got the problem. Playing with these was exhausting, and by the time I’d finished, I’d stripped the skin off my fingers. How Mangini uses them I can’t imagine, but then he’s in a different class! However, I got the cut, so it was worth it. Another one off the list, and on to the next one. THE USE OF ANY COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL IS USED UNDER THE GUIDELINES OF "FAIR USE".
