Tom Sawyer was easier for me to play than Son of a Preacher Man. How can I develop better "feel?"
Hey guys,
So right now, I'm in an interesting spot in my drummer where it is actually "easier" for me to play more technical drum parts than more "feel" and "groove" based drumming.
For example, I covered both Rush's Tom Sawyer and Dusty Springfield's Son of a Preacher Man, and I had a significantly easier time nailing the odd time signatures and technical fills in the Rush song than getting the "slightly swung" feel of Son of a Preacher Man down.
Here's my Tom Sawyer cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RACrMqcYpiI
Here's my Son of a Preacher Man cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p4hIgOBez4
For reference, I have a marching band background from highschool where I played drumline. Maybe that's added a little to my potential stiffness in playing?
Thanks a ton for your help
