  • I've been playing drums for ten years and I'm shit sick of seeing people on youtube dissing drummers for not being fast enough, not playing enough double pedal or filling every fourth bar. Jared is a seriously awesome drummer. He's in the pocket. Always in time. And what's more, the guy makes videos for the younger guys out there to help them get better at drums! How many of you negative people out there can say you've done that? As a teacher myself, I applaud you. Great drummer.

  • Omg,... I'm gonna show this to my drummer at band practice today XD.

  • Wow, that was bloody amazing, mate.

  • I just really love this solo ♥ for me, jared is one the best drummers in the world!! i just love his grooves and i think for him, the speed is not that important and i think in this point he is totally right.

    Jared, if you read this, i only want you to know that you have many, many fans out there and that there are many people looking up to you.

    Please keep up your style and maybe you can film a new solo for all your fans out there.

    Jared, you're just amazing, thanks.

  • I really admire Jared's patience and passion and really thank him for all the videos. I've been playing drums the wrong way all my life but because I stumbled on his video, I bought a drum pad and practice a few hours a day and his lessons really works. Thanks!

  • I Love this SOLO ! !! !!

    Hey Jared make some more video's like this .

  • lol i had the rock drumming system (my mom lost it accidently :( ) and in the special disc the rock druming system had (the one handed roll video) jared looks so weird with long hair xD

  • Toms sounds great!

    

  • so 240p we meet again!

  • 2:05 to 2:09 is epic !

  • At the end, he looked shocked, like, "Did that just happen?"

  • Jared is very underrated. Nice sh*t G.

  • his drum set up sure has changed allot.

  • nice sounding drums and good solo

  • It's better than Travis Barker's solo

  • not bad. wicked chops.

  • I Feel The Beat!? Cool? Can you Still Apply that in note reading or just simply a Freestyle? Nice job

  • look at his face next to taylor swift's and try to imagine them both without hair, they look identical

  • Decent drummer. I have heard better but I have heard much much worse. But I do have to give props for the sound of the kit. That drum kit sounds fantastic.

  • the heart of the drums is the groove it self

  • this coooollll....

    :)

  • r drum solos like this and all other drum solos improvised or r they memorized?

  • 0:35 look how centred his hit marks are! O_O

  • jajajajaja el ti po es duriiisimo 1: 40

  • omg this is so awesome :D

  • its out of sync by a tenth of a second...or is it just me?

  • this is brilliant, you have real class on the kit.

    2:41 - 2:45 are you using the double stroke technique to get that speed?

  • Comment removed

  • I love how everyone is so hyper critical of other drummers. When most of them know for a FACT they couldn't even play or repeat 4 measures....

    Don't post shit unless you can back it up with a video....

    Oh he's technical, but his timing is wah wah wah wah....

    Ok Let's see you take that beat pulse and make it correct.......

    Its his technique!!!!! Thats why it says SOLO...

    Mactheknife1978.....You are one of these people hint hint

  • @laudiumWP true man it's about fun people! spread positive energy with drums and enjoy them and embrace the talents of everyone it's not about being perfect, it's about having fun. don't forget what makes music important!

  • Technical but his timing is all over the place and he's not very fluent...

  • And this dude has teaching dvds out??? He's like any decent high school rock drummer.

  • Awsome

  • 2:40-3:00.... :0...

  • Nice tasty stuff; nice & creative

  • thanks for the lessons. u are a good drummer.^^

  • this is intermediate at best

  • @thrmoz456 how good are you then?

  • lol at the very end his face screams "omg i just shit myself" lol

  • @youngdrummer3 this made lol

  • haha he was shaking his head like hindu lol

  • This is to all the Negative Analysts...

    Why does some drummers always want to be BETTER and FASTER than other drummers.

    It does not matter who you are - there will always be someone looking UP to you... - and you will always look UP to someone...

    There is a place for all of us under the sun! So - exept who you are and do the best you can.

    Jared - YOU ARE AN AWESOME DRUMMER and taught a lot of us a lot of things on drums... - THANK YOU!!!!!

  • @Havanna4u I absolutely agree with this point of view. We are not all Virgil Donati's or Dennis Chambers. There is a place for us all. Besides, my band would not thank me to play all that stuff - the groove is what matters and as a backing instrument, drummers should remember that is what we need to do - make it feel good for everyone. Until it becomes a recognised Olympic event anyway. Cheers.

  • Nice solo and drum sound!!

  • *bobs head*

  • WOW :O

  • Great Video!

    Can someone please tell me how to practice the rolls at around 2:22.

    I dont know how to get it to speed and than change from snare to tom :(!

  • @stringsnsticks those are single stroke rolls that he's playing. You can practice with a metronome. It is best to start at a slow tempo and keep working your way up. after you feel comfortable you can begin experimenting around the set. Also if you looking at building your speed practice on a pillow or with heavier sticks.

  • boring....

  • @jonnifjader yeah... just an elementary solo. Had a decent groove to it, was played in time. He's not a beast by any means but entertaining i suppose.

  • wow sounds good...the beat the rolling timing.everything...is nice to hear that bro...

  • 183 people disliked this because they're not into the funk like Jared is.

  • He!He!

    Our teacher is on fire....great solo Jared!

  • the intro with the hi-hat is amazing!

  • that kit sounds awsome

    

  • got to be the cleanest doubles ive ever heard from a set

  • I drum like him. I'm not being big headed and i appreciate how good he is, but I have a very similar style of drumming to jared.

  • screw you all jareed has done a fantastic job in this drum solo video...........great job jared keep on rocking in the same way....................

  • @kapasky123 you my friend are very very very very very wrong, jared falk is an amazing drummer with great rhythm technique, skill, and creativity where all you can do is play loud and fast which any monkey with drum sticks can do

  • This Video Is My FAVORITE Drumming Video Here On Youtube!

    I LOVE UR Secret Lessons And Can't Wait To Give U Shout Outs Jared Falk!

  • how much of the sound coming out of his drums EQ? His drums sound like sex, but i bet if i put those tom heads on my drums in my basement is would sound nothing this.

  • im better

  • jared sucks

  • @kapasky123---- Are you better ,hummm?????

  • @kapasky123 you suck

  • he needs help tuning his drums, and needs new heads badly

  • jared is awesome i dont think that drums are off tune

    the snare got a bit ring but trustme its ok the toms are ok

  • pretty cool, but you could tell at the end he was startin to run out of ideas, but hey, it was still pretty dam good.

  • Awesome i love it :D

  • this is fucking boring....

  • Man Jimmy, sound's like you've got an ego problem to me.

  • If you say so, kingdrummerboy.

  • @JimmyFaust Sorry man, I was in a bad mood. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Sorry to beat on you. (Ha, that's kind of punny in this instance. ;D )

  • @king94drummerboy Apology accepted. I'm really not trying to be a jerk here...Falk's infomercial tactics ("double your speed instantly!") and questionable advertising practices (phony positive reviews) just piss me off. If he were just some guy posting YouTube videos of himself I would have no problem with him. But he is taking advantage of young, inexperienced drummers by claiming to be some sort of secret knowledge expert then charging $ for information that you can get for nothing.

  • @JimmyFaust "But he is taking advantage of young, inexperienced drummers by claiming to be some sort of secret knowledge expert then charging $ for information that you can get for nothing."

    Could you not say that EXACT same thing about any drum teacher out there? That they claim to know something their students don't and charge them money to learn from them? I'm not trying to be a jerk either, but I think he's just a guy that wants to help out.

  • @king94drummerboy Not really, because Falk is not only claiming to know more than students, he's claiming to know more than teachers. He's also claiming that his "system" is superior to the one-on-one interaction you get with a live teacher. If he really just wanted to help, he wouldn't claim common-knowledge as his own and sell it on multiple web sites using deception and fear-tactics.

  • @JimmyFaust I see your point. You certainly could have that point of view. I definitely see what you're trying to say.

  • Falk around,he can play...Jared ,do you want to play drums in my band?

  • jared fuck everybody!

  • 2:17 - 18 :))

    My youtube drummin' teacher

  • he always has that shit what do i hit now face and way about him whenever he drums and its easy to spot straight away that hes not developed his own style like he just got lessons for 10yrs and thats it......

  • Comment removed

  • @protobuster ha ha ha!

  • This isn't supposed to be super hard guys. It's to show you don't need to be a virtuoso to make a solo. Jared Falk is much better than the stuff he plays in this.

  • @DanvanBeatlesfan still pretty sick though I would say people just be hatin' cause they got nothing better to do.

  • "When it comes to playing the drums, there is a secret that most drummers don't want to share with other musicians"--from Jared Falk's website.

    Bullshit. There is no "secret", unless playing what you feel is a "secret". Drummers, in general, love to share what they know. Don't let this guy make you believe that you need his "system" to be a better drummer. You're better off spending your $97 on lessons, books, CDs, or the gas that gets you to your next band practice.

  • @JimmyFaust

    This guy's intention is clearly not to only make money. Check out his website, he's got 100s of amazing educational videos. Even check out his youtube channel, it's pretty cool.

  • @JimmyFaust  The system he sells has lessons,books,and CD's. You can't just tell a beginner to "play what they feel". That will give you a pile of shit. The systems he sells are great foundations for anybody's drumming.

  • I didn't say that telling beginners to play what they feel is the only thing involved in teaching (although I would much rather listen to the playing of a creative beginner than Falk's uninspired, pretentious noodling). I was merely calling out Falk as a presumptuous hack--who does he think he is, speaking for all drummers and claiming to know some great secret? As for foundations for drumming, if Falk's playing is any indication, you can do a lot better for $97.

  • @JimmyFaust He's not a presumptuous hack. He could be touring with some really good band's right now but he decided that wasn't the life for him so he teaches now. You haven't watched all his videos, he's really good. Quit acting like "the secret" is his whole marketing ploy, it's not.

  • he got stuck at 2:17

  • i thought it sounded cool. I love it when people get stuck and just improvises, it may end up with an awasome off-beat

  • goodgood

  • wat size is the sticks ur using bro and name

  • nice and clean solo...standard of a drum master

  • No freekin way this dude is making & selling dvds. I'm really not trying to be a dick but if this is true...My new dvd which will be way better in every possible way is coming out next year. I'm gonna start making vids this is getting outta control. Maybe I'm putting him up against the 'greats' but that's my personal gauge as well.

  • the fill from 2:27-2:30 when he finishes on that double bass is sick as hell. awesome videos jared. You need to get these on itunes so people can jam to them in the car

  • Drum kit sounds beutifull

  • dude i want youre drum set and those mics and the way you role threw the toms and lie idk 2:17 between 3:15 is just fucking amazing where did you get those drums and i really need youre help i have drum set but i need mics do u know where i can get cheap mics also can u send me a pic of the amp you connected youre mics for youre drums though thanks dude and by the way i really really need youre help if you could give me a website where there aare good but cheap mics and the amp youre using thank

  • Those toms make me wet

  • @Wolverine51324

    perfect sound, i wish i had a drumset sound like that ass kickin set

  • Hahaha Awesome Job!! But at 2:17 I think you forgot you didn't have a cymbal there:D

  • @DrummaAddict

    He was looking for his crash. Lol.

  • @DrummaAddict

    i think You have forgot about his invisible cymbal

  • @DrummaAddict

    acabo com solo do guri aff monstro

  • he looks like napoleon dynamite

  • RIP. Best

  • @alanboro

    he died?

  • its youtube that fuck up the sound. i have the dvds. it siunds great

  • nice job. 2:21-2:25 sounds like that one part in vicarious by tool

  • I find the best cymbals to use are Sabian Vault's and x20's they record excellently as well as Meinl mb20's.

  • G'day Utubers, i got a set of ZXT Titaniums, the hats and splash are great, the crash and ride suck a little.

    They were on special at our drum shop here (Billy Hydes). I tried em out and they sounded good at the shop, bought em home and, ummm, yeah, still not happy.

    I do actually like the "A" customs, plus there affordable, but in saying that, i will be tring the Sabs HHX, and as the other guy here mentioned, the 2002'

    Cheers guys, keep practicing, lol.

  • Great job, great solo!

  • Maybe this is just me but I see a lot of hesitation in this solo. At 2:19, and again at the 3:00 mark, where he goes into his rim taps. All in all, not a bad solo, but I've seen better.

  • Good overall drum solo. He shows a bunch of different things to do all while not leaving his foundational beat. This was not intended to be a super speed solo but has a very nice feel and rythm combined with some different tricks he teaches in his videos - which are very good by the way. I can learn from almost everyone out there which is great for me. Thanks Jared.

  • snare drum sounds like a carbage can with snare wires

  • it's set up for blues, like classic rock, like zep. does bonham's snare sound like a "carbage" can with snare wires?

  • this is a solo but its boring because he is just doing a drum beat, i know jared falk is good but i want to actually see him do something crazy

  • Zildjian sucks? yea and I guess you think Sabian is better??

  • paiste is the best by far

    just pick a top line paiste and be delighted, zildjian's are overrated pieces of chunk... only K's for a vintage or jazz set.. everything just sucks simply put

  • 15 years of drumming, 2 years paying the rent with it, and I'll stick to my mix and match array of Sabian-Zildjian stuff. To each his own...I like Subarus, you might like Volvos. We could do this all night.

  • of course, volvo's better than subaru

  • you may be a great drummer, that is not the point... any cymbal would do the job just fine... but when it comes to musicality... equalizing analogic or digital imputs from mics.. durability, expression... paiste just owns... I have a set of A's and a set of K's... they will never be as good my 2002's or signature's... you can really tell the difference of craftmanship

    Of course only a few would dare to spend 500bucks when they can pick a Zildjian for half the price and it is cool...

  • I'll check em out, but as a professional, struggling drummer, probably won't be able to afford em :P

  • try them... 2002's and signature's or the new twenty's... you will love them seriously!!!

  • @rickshawb I love Zildjian but im really satisfied with my AAX ride

  • zildjian sucks

  • Noob

  • lol

    16 years of drumming...

    zildjian is for noobs

    paiste totally owns all !

  • okey I've been drumming for as long as I can remember and I've tried out a lot of cymbals. I've ended up owning sabians, zildjians and a couple of meinls aswell I've never found a paiste cymbal I'm really happy with and I've tried the 2002's, the signatures and twenty's. I'm not saying they're bad cymbals in fact I kinda liked the twenty's but again I found a ,according to me, better sounding cymbal in sabian or zildjian. Just another guys oppinion ;)

  • This is not a very good drum solo. Even though I know Jared Falk is a lot better than me. It's pretty clear that this is intended as an example to show drummers that you don't need to be a virtuoso to play a solo.

  • kevinphd is such a douche, i was gonna resond to him personally but i thought maybe other people wanted to reflect on this as well, dude you have no clue obviously who jared falk is so fuck off you no-nothing fag, he is amazing, and yes post something better before you dis someone, this guy is part of a great company called railroadmedia along with lots of other great drummers, and by the way it's called a solo, solo don't have to have a full beat all the way through, i loved it

  • I love that travis barker keeps coming up in comments...really ?

  • is that a 16th note on the high-hats? or a

    8th note pattern?..

    i like the groove!..

    5 stars!

  • 16th notes

  • ohh...thanks..are you a drummer too?

  • i rily respect diz person!!!

  • yuck. does this Jared Falk guy realise he played a whole bunch of uneven bars? lol and whats with the waving of the head from side to side like he's doing something really tricky? yawn, this guy is the most over rated drummer on the internet IMO

  • Play something better before you think this guy is over rated.

  • NOPE ... travis barker is ! ^^

  • Yeah Id like to see you do what he just did. Once again another idiot who has no idea what he/she is talking about.

  • It's called getting into your music.

  • love it!!! great snares

  • Noo..Listen To That Sound..That Is Disqusting..OMG..That Solo Was Wacker Than The Sound

    #1 Drummer ~DH~

  • ok , keep working

  • I don't like it. It sounds very mathematic. Where's the rest?

  • 2:16-2:18 Lool

  • well spotted.. ha ha funny shit.

  • Comment removed

  • oooh! that's my lovin style drums gaming

  • i hate that snare drum sound

  • Well, from a beginner's point of view, I've been learning a lot from his lessons, after having a kit around for years, but being a guitarist...

  • not bad...keep practising!!

  • Oh dear...

  • You need to watch more solos...

  • You?

    come on you are speaking to a great drummer like jared falks

    i really think he doesnt need to see more drum solos he can do 1

    and watching solos you will copy them... thats not the point... maybe jared forgot to put some ostinato on the foot or something like that

    but its oks its a solo...

  • dude wtf ....

  • I heard bad press about this guy a few years back, that he's a bit of a charlaton, and that his drumming is a little dodgy for a 'Pro' drummer. Also that his tutorials are a rip off. Not my opinion, just what I heard people saying.

  • bought the "RDS" vid, the books are good and he teaches fairly well about notation.. but not what i expected at all. Honest review.

  • does anyone know how he does the drum fills at 2:14 and 2:17?

    cuz it sounds like hes using a double pedal but in the video i can only see one foot moving, which to me is incredible.

    if its just really fast double kicks on the right leg then thats just amazing

    can anyone just verify what he's doing so i can work on it so i can improve myself?

  • he's using simply slide technique ;)

  • could you explain what that is?

    sorry to be a bother, lol but i really wanna know how to be able to do that

  • Go to the web site.He gives free lessons on it ,and it realy worked for me.

  • You could type that in search and watch)

  • i am very sure that he is only using the single kick because his high hat foot doesn't move at all.

    he could be doing 1 of to things double strokes or slides on the pedal i think he is doing slides on the pedals

    but i could be wrong its kind of hard to see what he is doing.

  • He's doing a technique I discovered recently where you kinda bounce the pedal off your foot then carry on with the stroke to get a double hit in the space of a single - called a slide technique because you often slide or hop your foot up for the second hit for added power. Look it up, and experiment :)

  • i learned that technique and i'd say im mastering it pretty well. not spamming or anything but the video is on my page of me doing it ErrorUncertainty

  • Gosh.....I can't ever click on a drum video and NOT see an argument going on....people love to slam drummers; others defend them and then shove it back in their face.....it's everywhere!

  • I'd agree with you there :P

  • ohhhh sheeeeeeeet

    dis guy smashed it!!! i bin drummin for 5 years, ent seen none like it. well done mate!

  • okay maybe Jared Falk isn't the best drummer, but u cant really say their lessons are useless. And it all depends on what style u play (like there's a difference in metal drumming and rock or punk)
