ben powell is amazing!

[ScottLFC1995]

muse

[666reignoffire666]

ok officially my favorite drummer. Dude you ROCK! I don't really like Muse but when you cover their songs they sound like the best band on the panet.

[reddanny2008]

Your an excellent drummer. Id stick to more useful camera angles though it was really awkward for a beginner to watch what you were doing when you kept switching between them at the start .

[Rseeleblanc]

Good example of playing into the drums. Hit them like you mean it.

[fhr31600]

Thanks for this tutorial it was very interesting and I think it's a very good way to learn this song thanks again see ya ! ;)

By the way I do drum covers too but I'm not as good as him if you want to check =)

[albertopedras]

What kind of heads does he use

[drummerbedford]

Enjoying the videos Ben, but I do feel that your timing and technique doesn't seem as fluid and free as it could. I'm being fairly picky but I know from my own experience in tightening up my own timing and freeing up my wrist technique. Your tempo is fluctuating compared to the tracks and your technique looks a little stiff (using your arm more than your wrist). Do you practice frequently to a metronome?

[MyDrummerboy97]

Nice one man. Very, very accurate! Much respect:D

[SirJohnBonham]

Very useful to beginners. I wish I had found this when I first started playing... love use!

[joaoluisgomes]

Hi! Awesome drumming man! ;)

Can you tell what is your Chinese Cymbal in this video? Thanks!

[A7Xopuzen]

Such an energy at playing mann

Loveeee itt ;)

The snare sound awesomee ,subscribed :)

[ericdhenokz]

wow, this is cool!!

[janwillem4live]

excuse me but WHY THE FUCK ARN'T YOU FAMOUS

[TheResidentShadow]

LOL, did you make a tutorial of this song because it's such a difficult song?

[SgtCrumpet]

@TheResidentShadow Because... not everyone knows how to play drums by ear or find it hard? How is that not obvious?

[randomguy123ish]

What is the bass drum head called? Can anyone help me? Cheers

[Ziomal77770]

@randomguy123ish 22" Powersonic (Batter) DW Stock Logo Head (Reso) Bass Drum

Just read description in other movie ;p

[roryando]

That was great.

[OriMedian]

2nd bit needs 1/8th hi hat opening and closing, dunno what it's called :V sounds better with it imo

[Joshuamaster96]

Very good tutorial, but i can't really understand the section 2

[andrewsmithify]

03:59 not a triplet, its the &-a of beat 3 on the rack tom, then the floor tom and kick is on beat 4 :)

[andrewsmithify]

@andrewsmithify sorry, 4 and 1, not 3 and 4

[pasha123ification]

u are the best !! <3 :)

[xXzombiekiller115Xx]

your missing to step on the high-hat fast like map of the problematique

[xXzombiekiller115Xx]

your missing to step on the high-hat fast like map of the problematique

[UrielYube]

more of these yea?

[Hellriderpl]

Hey Ben. What's that black head on your snare? I saw Jojo Mayer using a simmilar one, but never found out what is that. BTW, isn't Dom playing on the rim instead of the 16" during the main rythm?

[mrgaijin17]

@Hellriderpl It`s Remo 14" Black X

[mrbender84]

Good but dom plays the quaver with the hit hat (foot)

[Priosca]

Awesome man !! Thanks a lot for your amazing work !!

[xMEXxGRIMJAW]

*Map of problematique by Muse

[xMEXxGRIMJAW]

Hey. You should do a tutorial on how to play map of problomatique by muse.

[SackBoy105]

Your bass pedal needs more swing. :3 ^^ Try playing lower o the pedal. :p

[MrMilkyMonster]

i'm pretty sure that the hi-hat is on 16th note all the way

[killjoyshidae1208]

i don't hate this song, but i don't like the use of it in twilight. personally, this does go along well with a couple. i sent this song to my cuz since she's getting married in 6 days. anyways, the drum part is epically sick.

[nimrodm1994]

section 2 tom beat is so awesome!

[HallawJerry]

damn, i kind of jealous of your skills, if i could~ i'll steal your skill

LOL

[TheCebe95]

Coulda done a better Muse song..

[MuzicLyricVideoz]

your kit sounds like it was made for this song, awesome.

[crowthernator7]

Is that another cymbal behind your high tom? If so why is it there?

[gadsdn93]

@crowthernator7 its his crash cymbal

[crowthernator7]

@gadsdn93 no its me being daft, i could see his hi-hats through and it looked on my screen to be sat on top of the high tom

[MrGleboPedo]

i have same shoes :P

[manhuntruler2]

Ur accent doesnt match your appearance :/ and Muse is a dumbass band.

[mrgaijin17]

@manhuntruler2 Jealous motherfucker

[manhuntruler2]

@mrgaijin17 never >:)

[OfficialBlissMX]

I gotta say that I admire your drumming, but I always get bother because your not keeping the 8ths on the hi-hat, I mean your an awesome drummer but that little detail makes Dom's Drumming to be a level above other drummers...

But thats my point of view...

I love watching your vids, but in order to get more "accurate" tutorials I think you should do the hi-hat part.....

[MusicalCoDGuy]

YES. ONE OF MUSES BEST SONGS

[pacificdrumma]

needs more kick.

[metaljamzander]

Dude you really need to be a lot bigger on youtube.... seriously......

EVERYONE POST THIS LINK ON YOUR TWITTER, FACEBOOK OR WHATEVER SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE YOU USE. SPREAD THE PROPHECY!!

[MoreThanLuck]

What are the sizes on his drumset?

[SuperDrummerJoe]

man i hate your snare

[anaismuse]

I'm not even a drummer but I've watched it all :')

[MikyCFH]

Seriously?



[nicolasslider]

nice song 

[enowmusic]

I totally hate this song ! BUT the DRUM PART is the only GOOD THING ON THIS TRACK !

[killjoyshidae1208]

does dom even crash on the ride in this song, or is it your thing, ben?

[TheJammyboy1]

@whatever0918 he has. he is just showing you how he plays it aka "Drum Tutorial"

[whatever0918]

i thought he already did this song. u should totally do citizen erased. it would be epic

[CorsletHD]

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[mussofury]

oo man 2:42 an benarthquake!!! just amazing, excelent tutorial :D

[irfaniss]

you work for musicradar now? wow! congrats man!

[Kebz06580]

you forget just the hit hat. It's every time

[scott111193]

Shame about your snare tuning mate. :(

[DJMC141]

@scott111193 Whats wrong with his snare?

[scott111193]

@DJMC141 Just the tuning is lazy and horrible, in my opinion of course. The snare is lovely, Tama make fantastic snares. :)

[DJMC141]

@scott111193 It sounds perfectly fine.

Snare tuning is subjective anyway, everybody does it differently.

Tama snares are brilliant too :)

[BIGpav018]

I was expecting Assassin... lol

[0303940]

i love it :D
