i've never been a rolling stones fan but just lately i've heard "satisfaction" quite a lot. then i heard "oh pretty woman" and "satisfaction" back to back on a good sound system and realised the drum pattern is the same! so as release times in the US and UK were (and are) sometimes weeks apart which came out first? to be honest i cant be bothered to look it up, i wonder if one or the other was copying?
August 1964 on Monument Records Pretty Woman - Roy Orbison
Satisfaction - Rolling stones May 27 1965
My "professionally trained" ear doesn't think they are that much alike ? 
That's how much I know about music LOL !!
hi Jim.
no it's not the whole song, just the drum pattern. which doesn't go to say that my hearing is right?
should i be ashamed to say that i listen more to the production of a song now rather than the words or the singer? my guilty pleasure would be to sit in on the recording sessions for some of my favourite LPs; Sgt Peppers, Abbey Road, Roots to Branches (jethro tull) close to the edge (yes) and so on, to see how they put their songs together and how they mixed the songs down. it would also be good to be with other musicians, like i used to in the 70's, writing and arranging our songs....ahhh the good old days
A lot of drum patterns are the same for a lot of songs:
(bass) (snare) (bass) (bass) (snare) with an open high hat doing 8th notes above it ...
I nabbed the pic from this site, which I then looked around and there's some interesting stuff there ...
Cheers
Richard
Thanks Richard, very interesting. I do play live drums on all my recordings, along with keyboards, guitars and bass, all self taught. I'm not good at any but I love doing it and there's that great feeling if the recording turns out well.
I shall frequent that site when looking for a new drum pattern.
You're one ahead of me then!! I can't play drums for nuts ...

Which nuts would they be then; a new Ozzy band or are they to be found in the trouser department? 
In the words of Hugh Cregg (aka Huey Lewis):
"It's still that same ol' back beat rhythm, which really, really drives them wild."

Probably of the "pea" variety ...

Amen to that!!!
