Tonight’s mystery artist has been the drummer in two high profile classic rock bands that are very different and he said that transitioning between the tow was tough because in one band there was no count for the drummer. Can you guess who he might be or either of the bands he was in??

I found this interesting bit of information on a site called Musicguy247 where they were interviewing Bev Bevan about what it was like swapping over to Black Sabbath after playing for years with the more orchestral ELO.

The question posed to Bev, Was it a tough transition learning Black Sabbath songs as opposed to playing the classic ELO material?

To which Bev said:

Yeah, Black Sabbath stuff was not easy. Some of the timing was difficult. Black Sabbath is just feel. I remember the actual song Black Sabbath... as a drummer you try and count things, and you can't get a count on it. So I had a word with Cozy Powell, who was a friend of mine, and he played me Black Sabbath. I said "What is that count on the song Black Sabbath?" (Haha) He said "Just watch Tony, there is no count." He's absolutely right, it's just got a feel.

Here is Bev taking it easy with tonight's featured ELO song:
