I was wondering what drum Brandon used on Runaway Train from his album A Wild Trapeze.
I don't play any instruments but I thought that the post was interesting and that his fans that know how to play the guitar wouldn't mind having this information.

I was actually looking to find out about the drumming.
I accredited the website that I copied this from at the end of the post.

-> I'M 99.9% SURE ABOUT THE TAB ;D

- TUNNING (Eb): [Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb] OR Capo at 1'st,
Brandon plays it a half step down (Eb).. and so do i, but if you wish to play it
it will sound good either ..

- about the STRUM PATTERN : it's the basic of the basics .. only up and down while
the Intro/Verse ..
and at the chorus just play like these ( down, down, up, down, up, down )

------> OHH and there's one important tip, while playing the song,
play all the strings muted while changing the chords at the Intro/Verse
( listn to the song and you will get it ) <------ ---> Intro/Verses (and little breakdown at the end)

Play the first part 3X then play the second
\/ \/
eb|------------------|-------| you can play eb|---6---2---4---|
Bb|------------------|-------| it also with Bb|---6---2---4---|
Gb|------7-----3-----|---5---| the whole Gb|---7---3---5---|
Db|------8-----4-----|---6---| chords, like Db|---8---4---6---|
Ab|------8-----4-----|---6---| these Ab|---8---4---6---|
Eb|------6-----2-----|---4---| Eb|---6---2---4---|

( ... ) Presently, future is ( .. )
( ... ) Seems to be ( ... )

---> Chorus - almost same as above, there is just a little variation at the strum
.. just play the chords over and over again

eb|----2-----------4--------|
Bb|----2-----------4--------|
Gb|----3-----------5--------|
Db|----4-----------6--------|
Ab|----4-----------6--------|
Eb|----2-----------4--------|

(.. And I try so hard ..)

-> play the INTRO/VERSE at the short breakdown (2:10)
-> then play the CHORUS until the end of song (fading) (2:30)

This is it, its a pretty simple song to play ^^ .. but still one of my favorite from
album :D

any doubts just mail me : spf_own@hotmail.com

GREETINGS from Brasil ;)
