I like DC5, and this is a fine, fine song, but it's a little muddled in both production and performance.
I kind of like the muddled production. I swore there was fuzz effect on the bass when I was listening in the car and loved it. Listening on headphones later, I don't think that's the case, but I think the general scuzziness of the instrumental adds a fun edge.
Have you checked the KISS version yet?
Oh that's your response to everything.

I just think it has better production and a "savage" fill.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I see Paul McCartney and Ringo have voted now.

Or maybe Moctor Dedulla?

A big part of the appeal of the DC5 version is the garage "scuzz" I mentioned earlier. This KISS version, per usual, sucks all of the charm out of the original. Are you talking about the little triplet fill at like 1:54? What non-drummers find appealing about certain drum bits is always interesting to me.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yeah, that's the bit I mean.

As a non-drummer, my favourite ever drum song to mime to (aside from More Than a Feeling) is "Have You Seen Her Face" by the Byrds, I love the fills in that.

My go-to finger drumming song is The Fall's "Hit the North."
