We make it easy to learn how to play this song on the drums! Click on the specific time stamps below to skip straight to the part of the lesson that you want!
PART 1 Quick run through of what we will be teaching for this drum lesson...
0:16 - For this song we need to learn how to count in "sixes" so that we know when to count the intro without the drum and know exactly when to come in.
0:55 - Play through the intro to see how it'll sound and counting when the drums come in
PART 2 Breaking down the song into each part
SECTION 1
1:40 - 1st we will crash with the bass drum followed by some flams
2:52 - 2nd we learn how to play the 1st fill pattern
3:15 - 3rd we do a single stroke 5-stroke roll
3:37 - We put these 3 parts together and play the drums without music and then play it with music
SECTION 2
4:10 - After the fill we play the next pattern where we introduce a "ghost snare" or quiet snare hit
6:33 - We put it all together and play this section of the drumming part
SECTION 3
6:40 - We play it through and introduce the 2nd fill pattern
7:16 - This drummer tends to play fills by leading with his left hand and this will be the easiest way to learn this. It will be more difficult to play it with the right-hand because you risk having your sticks hitting each other. It is possible and we explain the option of how to play it right handed.
10:34 - Put everything up to this point together with music at full speed
SECTION 4
10:57 - The tom drum part is going to be played like this
12:12 - Putting it all together up until this point
SECTION 5
12:45 - How to play the very last fill
PART 4 Playing the entire lesson from beginning to end with music
14:15 - Playing the entire thing one last time with everything we've learned and putting the drums together with the music - Jak na to + styl
I love how simple and explained this is, makes it so much easier to slow down the fills
thanks! Glad its helping!
I don't even have a drum, I just love watching these
Same for me
sus
yes
k lol
lol love the lab coat.
scientific drumming
Alex Galindo he's the drum professor bruh
O M G!!! I thought its a blazer! This makes it even better!
@Harvey Park ..
Lol yes that’s what I said I got a kick outta it lol
I'm a new drummer and your videos are way clearer and I can learn better than any other drum tutorial out there.
+Ryan Hoose Lewis Thank you and congrats on starting up on the drums!! :D
Me too
I don't know anything about drums, but I think it's hilarious how you're playing it in such a calm way (about 1:10). When seeing anyone else play this, they're just slamming the shit out of their drums. Great video.
Thanks!
To be honest, Im using somewhere in between. Back when I made this video, I had to play softer because my audio quality wasn't the best as I didn't know too much about it yet!
Awesome!! it's been about 6 years since I last played drums. I packed my acoustic kit away when my neighbor got diagnosed with cancer so I could only play during music class at school and this was the last song I worked on before I left. I will have my new digital kit by next week and thanks to you, I can finish what I started. I look forward to watching more of your videos!!
This was The greatest tutorial in the youtube history
Wow thank you!!
Yeah absolutely, it was so easy to understand, I could play as soon as the video ended ! (with pauses between the steps to practice of course)
Ryan Reynolds at drums
The year is 2024 and this tutorial video for this song is still the best I've seen so far
I cannot tell you how helpful this video has been! 🤘🤘🤘

The Drum Professor absolutely and thanks for the way you break it all down makes it a lot easier to follow and understand exactly what’s going on would like to see you do imperium machine head 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Really awesome lesson! Thank you for putting this together!
This is amazing, you have no idea how much you have helped me to improve my skills, there is no video on youtube that makes it so understandable and simple like you did! forever grateful!
+omarxxxxx Thanks a LOT Omar! So glad you've found something that's a good fit for you!
Your channel is what was missing on the drummer channels, well done. I suscribe.
thanks! Im glad to hear that!
Great video. I just started getting into drumming. I play guitar and write music. I figured learning drums would only help that. This is really useful. Thanks.
Awesome! Happy to help
Very clear video. No parts left out. Amazing man, thank you.
first part of intro done on day one, thanks sir.
Well done!
So far you have been my favorite Drum tutorial channel. I am, however, surprised that you do not have "Disturbed- Down with the sickness." That is the one song I cannot find any decent tutorials on. Thanks again for the great vids! Subscribed!
thanks for subscribing!! I was talking about doing that song, will do for sure :)
The Drum Professor cant wait!!!
This is sweet! I love System of a Down’s songs they’re always a bit of a challenge to drum! I’ve been looking for this forever! Thanks!
my pleasure!
Finaly, I learned this :D Thank you very much prof ;)
That lesson is absolutley great, thank you!
this is awesome, this is made me want to practice drums for the first time in a while
thats awesome!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! was the only way to learn this song, THANKS NEW TEACHER, HELLOW FROM MEXICO
My pleasure! Keep rocking on!
Love your tutorials and how you break it down! Now i can play my favorite song
Awesome! Thank you! Keep it up!
Why did it take so long for me to find you !!! Best tutorial teacher ever 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I’m honored, thank you 🙏 🙌🥁
Hats of man i love the you teach songs 👏👏👏
thanks bud!!!
I don't have drums, but I've always wanted a set ( maybe I'll get one when I'm a bit older ) but this is an amazing video if and when i do get my set, i will definitely becoming here to learn :)
+× Big Bad Osiris × Great! Anytime let me know! :)
Do you have a drum set now
@@Unawesomenessness I’m 20 now and I still don’t have a set 😭
Nooo 😭 I’m 22 and just got my first drum kit two months ago. Genuinely been some of the most fun I’ve ever had, jamming out and catching your rhythm (even with basic drum grooves) is so rewarding and feels amazing.
Drum sets can be loud as hell so it’s not accessible to everyone’s living situation. If you can, get an electric drum set. The one I have is the Donner DED-100, I encourage you to check it out on Amazon. You can plug your headphones into it and it is essentially quiet.
@@BigBadOsiris save up a little $ at a time, you'll get there. I'd be happy to help you find a set!
Awesome ! Lesson learned 👏🏼👏🏼. 1st time on your channel and your an amazing teacher !!!
Thank you Dan!!
You are Excellent in explaining how to play it! 😎 It helped me a Lot!
thanks! Happy to help!
Awesome Man!! Nice lesson!
thanks!
Really love your videos very helpful
Excellent video. You broke things down at a good speed and I like that you played each part at normal speed afterwards.
Thanks patrick!
hello gotta learn this one and you broke it down very well. Thanks DP
my pleasure!!
really enjoy your way of teaching thanks man
thanks!!
I just Bought an electric drum set yesterday and I’m learning toxicity with ease. From a guitarist to a drummer is not that difficult but I find my self not to be struggling cause of your videos so thank you for the great videos ! Keep up the work !
Congrats on upgrading instruments!! hahaha.. thanks man :)
Try being a pianist to a guitarist. The transition takes only a few hours. And luckily, one of the first songs I learned was completely composed of barre chords; so I learned barre chords pretty quickly. In only 4 months, I'm already playing solo's. Its so weird....
One: I love your subscriber count at the moment (1,234 subs). Two: You are a really good, easy-to-learn instructor/teacher. Keep doing what you do!
thank you!!
Now he has 1274. 40 in one day? Woah!
He's got 50k now, must be good! Subscription in order.
You made it looook sooooo easyyyyy, Very awesome on how you taught everything!
This seriously needs part 2
The verse and then the chorus and stuff
Thank you!! How are you doing on the song? I will have a full song breakdown available on my website in the near future

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL, i LIKE your VIDEOS :D
Is there a part 2 for this song? I mean, the last part is a little bit different and the rhythm changes another 2 times. I'd love to see the rest of this song. Until now, that's the best tutorial I found so far. Thx anyway.
