    Thank you for breaking that down. My band is going to start playing that song and although I am a seasoned drummer, I always use these tutorials as you are never too good to keep learning more. Thank you sir and cheers from Connecticut USA!

    @colinreynolds9600 Před rokem

    Thats a very good independence exercise Mike, where new players find their hi hat following their bass drum ...it's one I've never done before, having heard it many times but never played it..
    In the song there is a break no drums, where the drumming kicks back in again, which will be something to practice,... thankyou Mike with that lesson ...it's great...
    Best wishes
    Colin

    So glad I found this. I am playing a version someone downloaded off the Internet and the drum part has the Cuban 3:2 clave pattern on the bass drum - really hard to play against the crotchets on the HH and 2 and 4 on the snare. It is only two beats displaced by an eighth note, but it changes the beat into a co-ordination challenge (For no good reason...). Your version fits - and I think it what was on the original :)

    Nicely done. This is an excellent way to teach. You are on point and you most importantly played with the intended rhythmic FEELING as you broke in down. EXCELLENT!!!!!

    Hi Mike.. thank you for all your lessons 🙏 you an excellent teacher..when you speed up the tempo you said to play it in swing?
    Because I do the same note by note but it didn't sound like you 😏 it bicouse its play in different style?
    And how to do it?
    Thank you..

    • @MikeBarnesDrums
      @MikeBarnesDrums  Před 3 lety

      Hi Koby, thanks for watching. It's "swinging" slightly as you get faster, in the sense that the bass drums on the "+" of beat 2 and 3 are played slightly later than normal - the 8ths notes are swung, but not the quarter notes. Check out my video about straight vs swung here: czcams.com/video/8tOlFVQlFOQ/video.html 👊🏻

    Hmm...I always thought the snare was on the &s based on the tempo of the 4 clicks at the beginning of the song. Now I kinda question if there are any songs that "really" have the snare on the &s or if those are all just double the tempo I thought and end up on 2 and 4 again with a two measure phrase instead of one measure and all the &s ;-)
    Can you think of any songs with the snare on all the &s?
