[MasterRoque]

Which others songs are difficult and tired to play i would like to try some more...

[TheEasyOption]

Hey Mike, trying to work out what happens in the 4th bar of the chorus (dit da dur, dit da dur). Been watching your hands & listening but it sounds like there's more like a flam then double bass kick. What do you do there?

[TheJAMALONG]

Fantastic Drumming man! Subbed.

[atotxa71]

You are very good, you have a very good technique!

[DragonBloodBPT]

you are good, really good, thats is most hard drums i ever see...

[killerree123]

WOW awesome dude keep it up !!!!

[TheEasyOption]

Ha ha! I just finished the Heavy Metal Advanced in your Drumming System & thought No 10 was the beginning to RTTHills, & here you are! Nice work!! love your drumming, now I've just got to find a good tab for it or watch this over & over :)

[mikemichalkowdrums]

@TheEasyOption Nice!! and yes, it is the intro... Can you tell I'm a Maiden fan! More Maiden Tunes coming soon!!

[TheEasyOption]

@mikemichalkowdrums Ha ha! Yep, I can tell you're a Maiden fan :).

RTTH is the Maiden song I've been wanting to learn, one of my favourites for the drums. Just found a tab at drumscore. I'm practicing hard out for the next 2 months to try to get accepted into "The Institute" ICMP in London this year to do a Diploma in Drumming. Your Drumming System is excellent!

[Divyansh71]

Nicko will be very proud of your work ! awesome performance ! :D

[mikemichalkowdrums]

@Divyansh71 Yes, and I hope Clive Burr would be as well :)

I see your point on respect for metal musicians, and not to put down Mike, but the only thing that makes this song hard is how fast it is. Although I gotta hand it to u Mike, great job. I luv your vids:)

[waqqodonkey]

Mike- I have a question. Do you have nieghbors? If so, do they ever complain? I do have nieghbors. And I was wondering if you would recommend the egg-carton method of soundproofing a room.

[steve51704000]

Hi Mike - aren't you the Moeller Method guy? I think I have your DVD! Great jazz player, too! Yeeeehaa!

Man, shouldn't you be touring the world?

[mikemichalkowdrums]

@hardblues79 yeah, that'd be great, but none of the bands I play with are touring the world.... if you know of anyone looking, lemme know! ;)

[Grievousnz]

@hardblues79 i bow down in the presence of a God.....

[83jbolt]

The key to playing this song is to pace yourself...I've played this song in many different bands over the years and the key to not try so hard...Maiden Rules!!!

[Mofobiscuits]

[PlanetDrumLtd]

What heads are you using on your toms?

[PlanetDrumLtd]

What headphones are you using and are they good for the noise cancellation?

[Tony6969ism]

Outstanding as usual.

[astrella]

hey mike can you play explain any techniques on playing the hi hats during this song?? its so fast i get tired before the end of the first verse.

[mikemichalkowdrums]

@astrella Hey Bud.... I will post a video in the next day or so, explaining how to play this tune.... Enjoy

[Zalephion]

@astrella Hmm relax your shoulders and keep your elbows down, you musn't tighten or try to get speed from the arms... I would recommend you to use wrist as much as possible. I have another issue when it comes to getting tired, I like playing speed metal... Stormwarrior - Lion of the northe, that's a really good and hard one.

Anyways, I hope this helped you.

Oh btw, I like chewing gum when I need to play fast songs I feel more relaxed and it allows to play a bit faster.

[aVisualSociety]

@astrella Practice, doood.



[nick0012don]

dude, i want your set, so bad

[myst506]
