Drum cover of Stevie Wonder's Superstition.

"Superstition" is a popular song produced, arranged, and performed by Stevie Wonder for Motown Records in 1972. It was the lead single for Wonder's Talking Book album, and released in many countries. It reached number one in the U.S., and number one on the soul singles chart. The song was Wonder's first number-one single since the live version of "Fingertips Pt. 2" topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963. Overseas, it peaked at number eleven in the UK during February 1973. In November 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the song at No. 74 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song's lyrics are chiefly concerned with superstitions, mentioning several popular superstitious fables throughout the song, and deal with the negative effects superstitious beliefs can bring.

The great guitarist, Jeff Beck, collaborated with Wonder and it was Jeff who came up with the intro beat. In the released version, Stevie played the drums on the recording and most all the instruments.

This cover was performed over a drumless song track.

Triggered a kit from the Vintage Dry Adpak from Addictive Drums 2.

Since I used a drumless track, which gives one the opportunity to be the drummer on the session, what I played in cover is really an interpretation, not a note-for-note cover.

Yes, I know I didn't play exactly that fantastic first fill that many drummers like. I had practiced it until I had it, but when I went to perform the cover, it didn't come out that way, instead I played it as I was influenced by the vocal line. Sometimes only what is truly in me overrides another drummer's expression.
