25 Great Moments in Rock Drumming: Mick Fleetwood, “Hypnotized”

25 Great Moments in Rock Drumming – Day 4: Mick Fleetwood, “Hypnotized,” from Mystery To Me by Fleetwood Mac

On this early Mac classic penned by Bob Welch, Mick Fleetwood opens with one of the great rock drum riffs. It’s a beat that almost sounds “backward” – he plays one beat on the snare followed by three on the bass drum. It is perfectly matched to the song’s dreamy, hypnotic quality.
