[Heeplist] Favourite Heep drumtrack?

[Igor Shveitser]

Eddie,
Just a few days ago I was celebrating Ken's birthday in my favorite style which is not drinking but listening to what the celebrated musician took part in. :) One of the records I've been listening to was Firefly, suddenly, noticing those nice breaks and other stuff which was typical for Lee in the 70-s, I realized why I can't treat the modern Hensley recordings the way I treat Heep classics. It is those major details, nuances including drums and bass playing which are sadly missing from Ken's albums since he has returned to stage. So, I think, mostly all of the 70-s recordings featuring Lee have those details for which I am more than grateful to him. "Lee's main feature is that he's a jolly drummer", - that's what a great friend of mine who's a very good drummer himself said once. But it is really hard to pinpoint one track. In the meantime, give The Hanging Tree a spin, you might like it. :)
Cheers, Igor
