Skynyrd Question-"Sweet Home Alabama"

[WorshipHammer]

Ok--Ok get it out of your systems---But I wanted to know a few of the differnet ways that you guys play the fills on "Sweet home alabama"
I use a basic beat
BBS with HH's

BBCross-stick on verses

after "don't need him around any how" on the fills I play (wrongly) :
rlrl ( on snare)
r (on small tom)lr(snare) l (crash)


just dosent sound right.
Any tips or advice. (besides not playing it).

watch someones drum cover of it on youtube, but yeah i think it does rlrl(snare) r (tom) then it goes BB with hi hats and then it does a crash where the snare would be and you continue the normal beat

[WorshipHammer]

Thanks Coke_can,
I have been watching several of them on youtube, but being a new drummer, i just couldn't seem to catch exactly what they were doing on the fill. I couldn't tell if it was just therlrl or some kind of paradiddle.
Thanks for the help.

Skynrd's "FREEBIRD" owns man, sheesh what a song. Probably my all time fave guitar solo too...

If you're talking about the fill at about 1:10 into the song I hear it as:
rlrlrl(s) r(floor tom) bb r&l(s&crash)
I think you might need to start the fill a little earlier with the first rl you are missing?

[KiwiMapexDrummer]

I play it rlrl (snare), rl (tom1), rl (tom2), rr (ft) & BB, crash & B.

I hear The snare portion of the fill starting on 3. This is how I hear it:

s = snare
ft=floor tom
k-kick
c-crash
3 e & a 4 E & 1 & 2
s s s s s s ft k k k/c
