The Black Betty Drum Remix You Didn’t Know You Needed

Michael Schack  /  UPDATED Aug 19, 2022

If Michael Schack isn’t one of your favorite drummers yet, especially when it comes to electronic music and hybrid drumming, it isn’t too late.

Here’s how he’d play “Black Betty” on both an acoustic and an electric drum set, starting with a drum part that reflects the original 1977 Ram Jam tune before breaking into a modern remix.

And then he does it all over again on a Roland TD-50.

Check it out! Dare you to not tap your feet the entire time.
