More Cow Bell !

[Cobrakai77]

cool -nice chops!

[carlleitem]

awesome technique man. you're really good.

[xymbalreborn]

NICE! 1:09 - sticks in! Try adding 2 on your basses between the herta fills on your toms. Makes for an interesting fill.

[wmjoca]

I think the drum groove in Achilles Last Stand by Led Zeppelin is a herta. It is kind of a galloping groove with a lot of John Bonham's right foot.

[aleczander1134206]

yup thats right its one thing to use ur hands but ur feet now thats sweet

[simaojoseph]

thats pretty cool..

[Blixish]

Great lesson dude, thanks a lot! I'm definitively going to watch your other videos for new exercises.

Don' they teach you anything besides rhythm in school? Meaning, fundamental accent and pitch control. You are neglecting two of the major three fundamentals. Music can only be three things. All are always in combination to each other and all work in the same way. Those "three" being: 1) pitch 2) rhythm, and 3) accent.

Its a rhetorical question. I can obviously see they do not teach you about pitch and accent. Its like teaching a child to taste, but not chew and swallow. All 3 serve a function.

[benbottle]

@YouSpamTard .. well no.. number 3 would not be accent because accents are apart of a thing called articulation. You also forgot dynamics.. Also because the drums found in a standard drumkit have indefinite pitch, your number 1 of the fundamentals you've listed isn't valid mate xD

[YouSpamTard]

@benbottle you should go back and read thoroughly what i have typed. You are a thinking man, but you are talking a load of shit to pretend like you understand something you do not. All is good though, at least you are thinking.

[benbottle]

@YouSpamTard Hey man all I was doing was correcting you, I'm not pretending. There's nothing in my comment that is wrong?

[YouSpamTard]

@YouSpamTard once again, go back and read my comment on the big three. Think of this, isnt dynamics and accent the same thing, if you think about it? Drums have pitch. Drums make melody the same as any musical instrument. Any two sounds or more made with anything in this world is a melody. The Herta is a rhythm manipulation that works the same way a melody does, or accent does. All three, rhythm, pitch and accent are all the same thing because music is just one thing. I know it sounds bizarre,

[jojomayerfan]

very nice vid . thanks for posting

[TheDayIsNotLost]

You've definitely played marching percussion before XD

[MattyCakezZ]

The best use of a herta ive have ever seen is in Meshuggah's "bleed", fucking rediculous drummers // Guitarist wrist controll.

[Str8Faced]

so is a "proper" herta played every 3/16 in 4/4 time? I've heard it used a few different ways, but most of the time I hear it used that way.

[CORNinfestedP00]

Nice vid.

Meshuggah wrote a song almost completely comprised of hertas....7 minutes of herta insanity.

[igorvazcorreia]

Nice snare sound !

[ransisua]

Nice technique.

Tomas Haake do this on feet from the song "Bleed" of Meshuggah.

[xR34P3Rx]

good video

[neenamar]

i bet u play more then 5 years. but. ok. you got speed. and much rithm. now. u need to slow a bit down. try some funky beats , just like u play on this demonstarions, but less fills.

[scythelog]

I so agree.. . . . hes much better then me at drumming, so technical. But theres an element missing of just playing something that sounds good. Check out Gavin Harrison hes the perfect mix of theory and playing soulfully.

[essjkid05]

we have the same exact kit dude. check mine out

[AliceinChains8593]

Damn dude.

You're fuckin nuts.

[samwilliams999]

Great lesson man, i plan on getting my full kit (Peace Paragon) sometime next month so as for now i'm stuck practicing rudiments on a crappy £60 snare. I just wanted to ask you how long it took you to get hertas down on the drumset and/or what you need to learn pre-hand in order to understand them. And yes, i am a complete noob to drumming :P

[drummin4christ19]

thanks man. nice, thats cool. ouch, you should invest in a practice pad to develop rudiments on. much quieter and more portable and you can hear mistakes better on them. it takes awhile, you just have to master them on the pad first. break down what each hand is doing and work them up to speed with a metronome, then just try spreading them around different surfaces of your kit

[petersinol]

BLEED...

[westhofer8]

well i can definately tell you're in marching band rudiment machine. but seriously great lesson and hertas are definately one of my favorites. way up there with the swiss trips

[drummin4christ19]

hah cool thankss. but thanks man and me too, i love hertas. flam drags are really fun too. and most hybrids are cool

[Alukart117]

@drummin4christ19 flam fives rock and cheeses

[buccsvortex19]

Yeah dude, Hertas sound sick while playing. I just started using them. But they have got some real good fill use.

[drummin4christ19]

yeah dude i agree they are sick. nice, keep it up and you'll get some great sounding fills
