About this riff

The drum part is defined by its iconic snare-and-tom flam intro that sets up the song's driving stomp, making it an essential figure to nail with clean, punchy dynamics. The verse groove is a straightforward but relentless quarter-note stomp that rewards solid pocket and consistency at the moderate tempo. The real test comes in the second half of the guitar solo, where the beat shifts into a galloping double-time feel that demands stamina and control.

Did you know?

Drummer Bruce Gary opened the track with a memorable snare/tom flam prelude, and during the second half of Berton Averre's extended guitar solo he kicks into a galloping double-time beat that ramps the song's energy up several notches. Gary later became a busy session drummer, recording with the likes of George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Rod Stewart after leaving The Knack.
