The Reverse Herta Fill - Drum Lesson
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 24. 07. 2024
- The Herta has been one of my "go to" fills since I started making videos here but I've never really talked about the way that I use it most often which is a reversal of the primary/important notes. Even though this drum lesson is all about reversing the accents of the Herta it's actually about much more than that. The real lesson here is for you to take a fresh look at your current drumming vocabulary and see if you can shift the accents around to create a completely new sound! - ENJOY - đ”đđ”đ

I learned that back in 1980 from a fellow drummer - he played it on a bar table here in Helsinki and called it "Traaku".....
I learnt it this way first. Can't remember where from, I grew up listening to Blink though, so could be Travis.
Been working on getting the normal version up to Grohl speed the last few weeks.
You always bring the fire with the most inspirational lessons! The new site is amazing! đđ„đ¶
Much appreciated old friend!!!
Say that to âyourselfâ over and over (4:46) again! Words needed to be heard and understand so much today by so many.
I believe the late Neil Peart did this during a brief snare solo break in the instrumental âwhereâs my thing?â. Correct me if Iâm wrong.
It's sunday morning in Rome and after a cappuccino there is this fantastic lesson. Bravo
"Remember, it's ok to have fun on the drums..." Gracias Mike for bringing that and sharing it with all of us.
Mike! That was cool. Nice choice to thump along to đ
I actually came to this dynamic interpretation from Benny Greb's use of the k-k-r-l sticking on hertas.
Right hand on the floor, left hand doing a rimshot on the snare. Usually keeping time with the left foot but that's more of a stylistic choice - or played with a double pedal for a more distinct double kick.
I like that ALOT! Great lesson Mike! Canât wait to try that one out.
Wow!! I love this!!! Thank you!!
Great clear lesson, as always!
Thank you!
I love inversions... accents the upbeat and sounds super cool. Love ya Mike... you are doing the Lord's work!
I loved this lesson, Mike. Thank you so much for sharing it.

Awesome lesson, as usual ;-). But this one stood out more seeing the absolute pure joy playing along to that track at the end. Man that just brought a huge smile to my face seeing you cutting loose and just getting lost in the music. Great job and thank you for sharing your gifts and knowledge with us!
Lots of fun!
Great lesson, Mike!
Fantastic explanation- I look forward to your lessons, Mike. Your enthusiasm and love for the instrument is inspiring.
That means the world Steve! Much appreciated :)
Excellent name, Steve Jordan
... that blast arrived! loud & clear! ... not yet enough "experienced beginner" to get to that point, though ... working on that ... thanks Mike!
This is jammin!
three stroke ruff ?? thank you Mike, in september i will have a place to practice, thanks god.....
What a magical energy!!! Absolutely ridiculous!
Grande Mike!
...and a very amazing song !!!
Ive been hearing this fill for years but i didnt know how to play it. Im glad you mentioned this fill and now i know what it is called and how it is played. ^_^
Heck yeah Mike! Loved this! Simple, fun, descriptive. Definitely gonna take this further, my hertas never sound clean like that.
This popped up after watching your newest postâŠwant to say you got me totally hooked to this song when you posted it on IG a while back jamming to it! I just played it yesterday after a long break lol đ
Yes sir!!
Smooth nice groovin manđ„đ
cool brother, your channel is amazing!
Man U are amazing
Weird, I have always played them accented on the last two or even just the last hit. I don't think I have every played a herta accenting either of the first two. When you say reverse I thought we were going to go 16 32 32 16, which I would think is the real reverse. Never though of playing the first two accented. Now it seems I've been playing accents backwards all along. Love it.
Then you are all set for a weekend of Herta fun! Accent the hell out of those two notes and BOOM, you'll have a whole new fill to add to your arsenal :)
Same here Iâm baffled that wasnât the regular way 0_o

Soooooo, You can have your Cake and Eat it too! I really Respect this young man. He's the Real Deal. As Kevin says in Home Alone- I'LL GIVE ER A WHIRL." Going to try this today.
Regrouped 16 this with 32 &16, 4 groups and a full 4 16 this to round out the total of 16. Dennis Chambers likes these
BTWâŠMike, I bought your transitional cymbal. Pretty amazing.

For me the 'natural' accent placement for Herta is on the first and last note. Accents on 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 sounds natural for me but I have a hard time playing them. Maybe anyone else is sdealing with this? :D anyway.. Amazing video as always!
Great lesson thanks! What batter heads are you using?
I love how he sits there playing the sticking pattern while he talks @1:13 Theory. Do you all understand how challenging that alone is? Mike you're a rock star man good stuff as usual.
đđ”đđđ”đđ”đ”
Sounds dope Mike! Practicing it right now and I've already got an idea in my head to transform this. Maybe you can take it to reverse herta 2.0 or herta 2.0. Im thinking either KKRL or RLKK, or both. Or maybe a combination or the two. Gotta have some thump in there and it would be one hell of a buttery biscuit.
or a group of 5? KrlRL? Hopping on the kit. Inspired.
Itâs funny when he sings the beat đ

My favorite way to use the reverse herta is kick, kick, ride bell, rim shot. Then usually alternate between two kicks at double time and a regular kick ride snare kick ride snare. Or work in a center hit on the snare then the rim shot.
Just try it. Theyâre all super tasty, but put em together, baby you got a stew goinâ.
Just tried that. Pretty cool idea!
Mike u are doing a great job by sharing this lesson with us,thank you đ
But What is the name of the music
waykap ft. Emmi - Summer of Our Lives
Awesome exercise Mike, what is the crash directly in front of you? Is it a Byzance thin as well?
đ€©đđ»đ„
Great lesson. A good example of a reversed herta is the first major fill by Neil Peart on YYZ by Rush. The first herta is on the snare and is played normally followed by 4 reversed ones before finally landing on the downbeat. Truly a marvelous fill which totally enhances the music.
What crash is that to your right?? I love that quick decay.
It's a 20" Byzance Extra Thin Hammered Crash. The decay is super quick because of the piece of gaff tape I have on the bottom (you can se it in some of the gimbal shots)
Hope that helps :)
Sounds awful technical and busy, but damn the fire!! Shikada bing! đ„đ€đ
Cool, but what is that song? Who is that? So silky smooth
What metronome app do you use?
I tend to hear 3-1,
Which probably (also) is true.
This fill could easily become the new Pat Boone/Debbie Boone
By the way. I predict that by the end if 2022. Your going to have Right Around 350k subscribers. If I'm right, I want a free year of lessons.
DEAL!!!
Just my weird way of saying this is Your Year. I don't really expect free lessons. Hang tight, going to be a busy year bro.
@@mikeslessons oh wait, got to hold you to this nowđ. OK, I'll quit bothering you, Mr. Celeb. Take care brother.
@@gballmaier No celeb vibes here brother! Hell, if I hit 300K by 1/1/23 a full year is yours for free! - Mike J
5:12 Oh Mike you perform verbal transcription of drumming failure so well, I'm dying lol
It's my only true talent, LOL đđ”đ
đđđ
Neil Peart used this one a bit as well.
Yeaaaaaaaaah. You are crack. U, do me, to student. All day play herta. Slow. Thx
I'm trying to find that metronome online. Can't find it. Any suggestions?
You can always click on the link for it in the description :-)
Mike, what the title this song?
Tx mike
Summer of our lives! He got me hooked lol đ
What was the song?
Summer of our lives! I was hooked immediately đ
I should have signed up on mikeâs lessons instead. A little sad right now
Ha ha. That's the way I've always played it. Proves I'm backward.
Sounds like a blushda
The Blushda and the Herta are similar as far as the take up the same amount of space (when played in straight time). The big differences are where the 32nd notes are placed, the sticking, and the fact that the blushda has a flam on the first note.
Hope that helps :)
@@mikeslessons thank you for explaining it! I get it I think. My brain just isn't good enough at hearing those differences. Some day I'll really dig in and sign up for your website. Thanks again Mike for all you do.
@@mikeslessons I think I heard the flam as the 32 note and didn't see the sticking since i was just listening to this while cleaning my drum space. Maybe some.day I'll be good enough.
The fills sound better than the actual artist.
