About this riff
Keith Moon's part sits on top of a fixed, pulsing synth sequence, so you need steady time at 137 BPM and have to stay locked to the pulse while the band changes sections around it. The tricky parts are the big, busy tom-driven fills that tumble across the kit and the open, driving 'rock' sections where the ride and crash work stays loose but must land together. It's worth learning for the stamina and fill-vocabulary alone, but treat the long closing fill as a separate project once the main groove is solid.
Did you know?
After an abandoned attempt in New York in March 1971, the Who re-recorded the song in April at Mick Jagger's Stargroves house using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Producer Glyn Johns chose to reuse the synthesized organ track from Townshend's original demo, because the New York re-recording of that part was felt to be inferior. That meant Keith Moon had to carefully synchronise his drumming with the synthesizer part, while Townshend and Entwistle played guitar and bass over it.
FAQ
Is this the real audio?
The audio is rendered from a high-quality SoundFont (FluidR3), so it plays for real. It is not the original master recording.
