Gino Vannelli - "I Just Wanna Stop" Drum Cover by Alan Badia on TAMA Superstar Drums

This is dedicated to Mark Craney, master drummer for Gino Vannelli in 1978 on the Brother To Brother album and the following tour. I loved drumming to this album in my very early teen years and still find some of the songs very challenging to play accurately. Mark Craney was an inventive and an underrated drummer who's drumming style had a big influence on my playing and development, especially his use of flams - particularly when played on different sized toms to add melodic flavor. Incidentally, did you know Mark's favorite part of his kit was his hi hat?

Many people don't know that Mark was plagued with health problems for most of his professional career, all the way up to his death. He was a real pro and a fighter howerever, he never showed any sign of these problems while playing in concert or recording - and of course you would never know it from his perfect performances recorded and live. Unfortunately, Mark died on November 26, 2005 from pneumonia. RIP Mark (1952 † 2005). We love you.

I shot this video before I had mics on the drums. It took me many years to gather the drum kit you see here and I was just so excited to cover it on video I did it before I had any microphones.The drum track you hear is 100% Mark Craney, not my drums.

Edit (1/6/2014): I have a full set of mics now. I need to re-shoot this video now with my drum sound.

LYRICS

For your love
When I think about those nights in Montreal
I get the sweetest thoughts of you and me
Memories of love above the city lights
Ooh, I tried so hard to take it
But oh Lord my heart won't make it
I just wanna stop
And tell you what I feel about you babe
I just wanna stop
I never wanna live without you babe
I just gotta stop
For your love
When I think about the way the world must turn
I get the saddest thoughts for you and me
Memories of life and times go on and on
Ooh, I've tried hard to forget it
But of Lord my mind won't let it
I just wanna stop
And tell you what I feel about you babe
I just wanna stop
The world ain't right without you babe
I just wanna stop
For your love
Ooo, I've tried so hard to take it
But oh Lord my heart won't make it
I just wanna stop
And tell you what I feel about you babe
I just wanna stop
The world ain't right without you babe
I just wanna stop
For your love
