Reimagining Steve Ferrone: My Drum Cover of AWB’s “Stop The Rain”

Details

Description

In this drum cover of “Stop The Rain” by the legendary Average White Band, I dig deep into another super funky track from a band celebrated for their unparalleled rhythm and soul. Average White Band’s natural ability to lock in exceptionally funky, infectious grooves has made them timeless, and “Stop The Rain” is no exception.

The AWB drummer on this track, Steve Ferrone infuses the groove with his unique style and punch that nobody else can replicate. His playing delivers energy in every bar with tasteful ghost notes, crispy hi-hat stabs, and rock-solid timing.

With my rendition, I aim to honor that classic AWB feel while adding my own flavor to the mix. Whether you’re a fellow drummer or just a fan of soul-funk masterpieces, I hope you feel the same infectious groove that’s made this song — and this band — so enduring.
