Touch Me - The Doors (Drum Cover) drumless track used

Drum cover of "Touch Me", a song by The Doors from their album The Soft Parade.

Written by Robby Krieger, it is notable for its usage of brass and string instruments. The song also borrowed the guitar riff from the 1967 Four Season's "C'mon Maryann" and used it on keyboards.

It was released as a single in December 1968 and reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 in the Cashbox Top 100 in early 1969 (the band's third American number-one single).

Triggered the NY Allaire kit from Superior Drummer.

NOTE: I did not drum to the audio in the included footage of The Doors' performance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour on December 15, 1968. During the performance, Morrison, who was providing a live vocal to a pre-recorded backing track, missed his cue for the lines "C'mon, c'mon", and Krieger could be seen with a black eye. Krieger stated in several interviews given after Morrison's death that Morrison had given him the black eye during a confrontation, inadvertently referencing the song's original title. The group appeared with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, with Curtis Amy miming to the saxophone solo he had provided on the studio recording.The clip is included for entertainment value.

The backing song track did not contain a drum track so all external drumming is by me.

Happy New Year 2014
