Rod Stewart - Hot Legs Drum Cover

Here's my drum cover of Rod (the Bod) Stewart's Hot Legs.

So I chose this song not because I am a (Sir) Rod Stewart fan (I'm not but I do respect the cat), but because of the drumming and it's a rockin' song! Plus I am a leg man myself, lol! Love nice legs on the ladies. Ahem, but I digress.

Featuring drummer Carmine Appice, Hot Legs was one of the singles from Stewart's Foot Loose & Fancy Free album (1977) and did fairly well (#28 US Billboard). What I like about this song is the cool drum fills that Carmine places throughout the song particular towards the end. And some of the cool drum licks that he does is that classic 4 note triplet that is usually associated with John Bonham (think the end of Rock n Roll by Led Zeppelin). I believe I read somewhere (probably Modern Drummer) that Carmine taught Bonzo that lick. Therefore, since it was his lick, Carmine puts a lot of them in here which I truly loved!

Certain parts of the song had elements that reminded me of something else. Like the guitar solo reminded me of a Chuck Berry vibe to it for some reason. And as the video to this song shows, during that part, the guitar player is doing the classic Chuck Berry walk while playing.

Second, those guitar breaks at the end of the verse (and other places) I believe was borrowed by a band called Buckcherry for their song Lit Up; noticeable during the part where he is singing "I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine." Or maybe not. You decide:

Ok, enough of the rambling. Tried my best to adhere to what was drummed originally in the tune including all those fills, so that's why this was a great, fun one to play! Hope you dig it!

Well, that's it for now. So until next upload cats, stay healthy and keep on rockin'!
