‘Water on the Brain’ – Alternate Take
Hello, Login to start. Not a member? Join Today!
I recently filmed a few videos for Sabian demoing their new cymbals for 2017. This video is an alternate take and one I really liked but later found out the the overhead camera had cut out and I’d forgotten to move the left overhead mic stand into it’s correct position! Disaster!
I ended up doing another few passes and chose one from the next batch but this remains a decent take I think.

Chad Wackerman is one of my favourite Drummers, but your version of this song is more fluidly! Great performance!
You´re getting better and better! But i keep on practising and some day…….
Harharhar….
Thanks, Michael!
Absolutely awesome! Amazing feel and execution!
Thanks, Vitali!
Hi Louise,
Do yo have a lead sheet of Water on the brain?
I really wanna learn the meters of this song.
Thanks in advance.
I don’t, sorry. But I should say that I don’t think of it in any time signature at all. I just think constant 16th notes and just learn the pattern. Think of the melody as accents or a pattern and just learn to sing it against a click. Then, as you move to the drums, just play 16th notes on the hi-hats (single strokes) and try to feel where the accents are. Gradually expand from there. But, to be honest, you don’t need a lead sheet….just listen over and over and try to learn the melody.
Thank you so much for your message.
