who care if its simple? all music doesn't have to be like super speedy and difficult. sometimes simple and solid is a lot better and in U2's case it defiantly is. it's their type of music. don't criticize
its good to know that larrys kit sounds as shitty as everyone elses live before tinkering...not a knock i love u2 but sometimes you feel so below par after hearing u2 live mixes,,,i love u2's rythmn section...
@desgarrett ur the dumbest idiot on here to think that Larry sucks. You surprise us all...even after all these years... And we thought you've grown up! Go have a listen to Charlie Watts and then try to educate yourself learning about underrated drummers. asshole.
You can't knock Larry,He's doing what's right for the music,And the only thing that is easy is something that someone else is doing.Larry is not the greatest drummer on earth,But then again,He's far from being the worst.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol it is funny how this guy has been drumming for 20 or some odd years and he still sounds like a little kid with his first kit. And anyone that thinks he has talent has never played the drums.
yes he is very solid and keeps great time; he also has a unique style, like peart; you know who the drummer is pretty much form the first several bars, whether the other musicians are playing or not; imo, peart, portnoy, bozzio, all have amazing ability to pull a song and the other instruments together as well as mullen, perhaps better, esp peart; being a drummer myself, neil's style, esp in the last 5 to 10 yrs, has becomg alot more musical and difficult to reproduce; but again, just my opinion
We all know Larry can lay a groove down and bewilder us all. But some of Rock's greatest songs have simple back beats to them. It's whatever the music generates and the feel a drummer gets off the initial groove this should be the primary focus.
@mllinas16 my drummer friend commented on his timing as well... I'm not a drummer so I can't really tell one drummer's timing from another (unless it's really bad of course)
Larry Mullen Jr. is the greatest rock drummer today.
I know, Neal Peart, Thomas Pridgen, Lars Ulrich, Mike Portnoy, even Chad Smith (who I love). But do they really have the ability to pull all the instruments together for the song to be in one piece as Larry Mullen does? Besides, he's composed the most original beats in rock n' roll.
@pechilandia here here mate i agree with you ! larry mullen,s the best drummer in rock music today ! he,s the battery of u2 and can play to so many different tempo,s and has so much power and energy when he takes to the stage every night yet never gets the headlines ! i would advise anyone who listens to u2,s music to concentrate on larry,s drumming to appreciate his class drumming ! luv u larry
listen to elvis presley in america, and promenade, the latter played with brushes, ala pete de freitas only better,all this crap on larry is shite and unfounded by morons,, its like sayin a great author is crap because he wrote the words 'and' or 'the'. they are the building blocks and knowing when and where to use them is a gift. NOTE you arseholes .
@EVERTONIC well said mate your,e right what you say ! u2 wouldnt be half the band without larry ! yes people rightly say egdes sound makes u2 but larry is the backbone of the band and ive seen live so many times that i can say larry,s a genius ! dont forget but for him way back in 1975 there would not have formed ! email back if you want mate
It all looks easy until you have to sit there with click tracks and sequencing. Larry plays with clicks and his timing is dead on perfect. Nobody on this board can even come close to his ability. You people crack me up.
Most drummers out there cant even play without speeding up a song.
@vertigo2112 ok hes good at timing but plz dont overrate him :D i can play this with click i swear....i dont wonna say like the most drummers (that can most times not even play) im better then him i never said that i only wonna say this is not sooo extremly hard...
o and all u other drummers out there just think about ur favorite drummer and imagine if u saw them do a simple beat like that.....now would u just go off and say they suck? no
yup exactly what rojb33 said who cares if its a simple beat i mean seriously obviously none of the haters have heard larry when he really is going crazy on the drums and he's a famous drummer so obviously.....he knows how to play the drums
you haters are pretty funny...why the fuck does it matter if the beat is simple? And why are you judging him as a drummer based on a simple beat, to a song that was not even near completion at this point in the recording process? You sound like fucking morons, simply put....you'll find that even the most technical drummers play simple drum beats...just like some of the most technical guitar players play simple riffs...it's not a bad thing...it's all about serving the song.
ur right, a simple song...whats the matter with that...if u didnt notice ...this song was Get On Your Boots...for me...the 4th best song of u2 in the last 10 years...(since ATYCLB)
larry...is simple...but kick asses...!!...
its not i f he plays fast...he knows music...
you bastards only want to hear fast beats...but this guy know what is music...real music...not stupid things as this motherfucker...lars ulrich...he is rich because of metallica...no because of he...
Larry is the best drummer for U2. Stewart Copeland is the best drummer for the Police. Ringo is the best drummer for the Beatles. David Robinson is the best drummer for the Cars. Charlie Watts is the best drummer for the Rolling Stones etc....
Just because a drum beat is simple or "boring" doesn't mean that the song is not worth listening to. Some of the greatest songs are simple ones with so called simple drum beats. The more simple the song, the more spot on the drumming must be.
you people judging Larry's chops based on this video suck. recording is not glamorous no matter who you are. he's a fully decent drummer and doesn't pretend to be anything more. U2 haters are hilarious. Larry Mullen is a far better drummer than Ringo Star, but I bet you'd never say a bad word about a Beatle!
how has the police outsold any U2 tour when U2 broke the record this year for most tickets ever sold on a tour, EVER. Croke Park, three dates, 240,000 people sold out in 30 minutes !
holy cow !..secrets revealed !! larry using zildjian cymbals in the studio ?? !!! he's been a paiste endorser since '83..if this ever got out !!..watch out !! lol !!
That got my attention too!!! But I don't think he's dropped Paiste completely for Zildjian. I don't own their newest CD, but my brother said that both Paiste and Zildjian were listed in the liner notes. I think he's still playing Paiste's live. So, I don't think that there's any deception going on. But either way, the people at Paiste are probably not too happy that Larry's dabbling with other cymbal brands!!!
Actully U2's Vertigo tour grossed 383 Million dollars, which is second all time (to the rolling stones, not the police) The point is they have had 10 munber one albums (3rd all-time), 22 grammys (most all-time for a band). they had a #1 album in 1987 and in 2009, a 22 year span. and lastly, why are you watching Larry drum if you don't like it?
I don't have rockband or a basement, name one band aside from the beatles who have more worldwide sucess than U2, and the fact that you calleed me "bozo" kind of speaks for itself.
You honestly think after being the most sucessful band in the would for 30 years, they can only play simle rhytms and melodies. And being an amazing band while remaining simple is way more difficult than just playing really fast and complex.
Each member of U2 is much better than what you hear on the album because they feel very strongly that the whole should be greater than the sum of the parts. they rely on musicianship rather than pure skill.
Little detail:Stewart Copeland doesn't know at all how to play in a constant tempo.Take a look just at the intro of Syncronicity on their last dvd:listen to the bass drum... :)
This is not filmed to display what a great drummer Larry Mullen is. This is filmed as a video diary, just to show an example of what's going on in the studio. Clearly this part is simple for anyone who knows how to drum and clearly he knows how to play way more complicated stuff. He is highly esteemed by many, and from what I've heard he's utter perfection when it comes to timing, which not every drummer is, actually/unfortunately.
I must agree that with a fair few on it being rather simple, but its not what you play but how you play it that counts, not juts on drums but on any thing... that said he does not play the little that he has to play on this track very well... let sbe honest now...
exactly... most of the people say is too basic.. and i agree.. but edge's guitars are also easy.. so this means that is not important to demonstrates so much of skill with their instruments... is all about being a great musician. that is what diferences them from other bands or styles like metal (just to mention)... they are the best rock band.
maybe there are a lot of "kids" who can play like them or better, but no one else have EVER created songs like U2 (all metal and punk song are equal )

You can tell this is the drum beat for the song "Get on your boots" since the guitar rythm can be heard faintly. The new single is coming out on Jan 19th.
MMMM I dont know, I am a real fan of U2 but I think non of them is the best in what each of them do, but, I think that together they are reeeeeeaaaaallly good
hmmm im a big u2 fan but u are not on the same page.......if your taking rock drummers theres at least 100 you could put ahead of him for talent............
"My main kit is a Yamaha Studio kit with a 22" kick, one mounted rack tom, a floor drum on the left and right, a Brady 13" snare, Yamaha or Ludwig piccolos and a selection of Paiste cymbals. There is also a monitoring system around that set-up. I also have a Yamaha cocktail-type kit with an 18" kick, a couple of toms and another Brady snare, but without any monitoring.
The traitor! Paiste Signature are by far the best cymbals, what was he thinking! He'll come to his senses soon enough and come crawling back. I'm gonna miss the sweet sound of his Signature Heavy hi hats on the new record :(
yes, his heavy HH I will miss it :( I wait to hear that on the record. They always put many filters, so the cymbals can sound anything they want...anyway...the paiste clear and brilliant sound may not be there! too bad. :(
I thought Larry uses Paiste, not Zildjian????

maybe there are a lot of "kids" who can play like them or better, but no one else have EVER created songs like U2 (all metal and punk song are equal )

Paiste still lists LMJr. signature series, but... Yeah, Paiste over Zildjian... maybe it's the N. African sound he's going for but that's a stretch?
Arguing who is the best drummer is subjective... Stewart Copeland still uses Paiste!

You can tell this is the drum beat for the song "Get on your boots" since the guitar rythm can be heard faintly. The new single is coming out on Jan 19th.

Wait a second! Why the hell is he playing Zildjian cymbals when he endorses Paiste cymbals?!
DrummerGrrrl 3 years ago
Probably because they had the sound he was looking for. I saw a pic of Chad Smith using Zildjian K cymbals and he endorses Sabian.

Because he makes money from endorsing companies' products.

hmmm im a big u2 fan but u are not on the same page.......if your taking rock drummers theres at least 100 you could put ahead of him for talent............

I think even Larry knows that. He's even said he has to think really hard to play properly. He's no John Bonham but still an awesome drummer!
tommywm24 3 years ago
id disagree hes average to good.............Funny enough he played more complex and interesting stuff on the early records.( im a drummer too)
76steve76 3 years ago
No shit so am I...but he must be doing something right if he's still the drummer of one of the biggest rock bands ever!

Zildjian might be releasing a signature mullen jr series. Still in the developmental stage.

"My main kit is a Yamaha Studio kit with a 22" kick, one mounted rack tom, a floor drum on the left and right, a Brady 13" snare, Yamaha or Ludwig piccolos and a selection of Paiste cymbals. There is also a monitoring system around that set-up. I also have a Yamaha cocktail-type kit with an 18" kick, a couple of toms and another Brady snare, but without any monitoring.

boys and girls, you have just witnessed the greatest rock drummer of all time, working out of the studio.

I find it very rare to see he's using the Z's... although I have been a fan of Sabian cymbals.
I can't see clearly if Larry's kit was mic'ed.
sfpedalpumper 3 years ago
he normally uses Paiste, but hes using a different dum set i guess...

Sabian cymbals are made by Robert Zildjian... that's got to be weird. A bunch of Zildjians making Sabian cymbals.
DrummerGrrrl 3 years ago
Yeah what's up with the Zildjians :(
Can't imagine that he will use those on the new album??

The traitor! Paiste Signature are by far the best cymbals, what was he thinking! He'll come to his senses soon enough and come crawling back. I'm gonna miss the sweet sound of his Signature Heavy hi hats on the new record :(
markyboy84 3 years ago 2
Yes, i think so too...
Ds14n 3 years ago
yes, his heavy HH I will miss it :( I wait to hear that on the record. They always put many filters, so the cymbals can sound anything they want...anyway...the paiste clear and brilliant sound may not be there! too bad. :(
