This is one of my all time favorite songs...I loved this song....nothing like song in 11/8 time signature to get the brain going....Happy the Man was and I believe still one of best american progressive rock groups....my opinion of course. I just recently re-tuned my drums and took off all the mufflers so the drums could get a better tone and ring. I've also added another cymbal and snare drum and a small 6" dw drum designed by Terry Bozzio. It's a nice add on drum, sounds kind of like a small timbale. Thanks for watching!

Hey Brother! Nice job! Kit Watkins was my music teacher for a year and we actually did a few of my recordings on his home Teac 8 track when he lived in Arlington in 1978. He tracked his idea's on his Mini Moog back when his gear consisted of a Rhodes 88, Clavinet, Arp String Ensemble and a B3 that someone gave him for free. I'll pay with you any day, man!

Great drumming. Wish Happy the Man had done more 'heavy' tracks like this.

Very nice! Great drumming, man! Did you play all the other instruments in addition to the drums? (That doesn't sound like the original version playing behind you)

This was the first HTM tune I ever heard and never get tired of it. Awesome job drumming! Ron Riddle . . . good name for a guy who writes such amazing music. I love all HTM music, and Mr. Riddle's drumming is just that, and a beautiful riddle it is . . .
