Folk Rock Play-Along #1 - Drum Lessons

[colourfulwithaU]

Definitely transcribing this. This guy's so tasty.

[gaba0380]

how can i have minus drums?!

[samheardrum]

Thanks for the comments folks, the cymbals are as follows: paiste fast crash, 20 inch paiste traditional ride, 18inch Wuhan china, paiste signature hats cheers

[dtigers27]

Looks like giant beats to me, which would be amazing to have a drummer like this in the GB family!

[LittleThingsBand]

Such a rock steady groove, i love it man

[harleydude1016]

Would anybody happen to know the cymbals he's using?

[etucc8]

@harleydude1016 He's using a Paiste crash, and I think the China crash next to his floor tom is a Paiste too but it's hard to say what the others are. No markings.

[Sp4rk3rm3n]

@etucc8 its actually a wuhan china , and if im not wrong thats a 16 inch

[derdasbettauffrisst]

Has anybody of you tried to play this song? It's so damn hard to keep time at such a slow tempo...I can't see it's a problem for him ;)

[etucc8]

@derdasbettauffrisst This kind of beat is much easier for me to play than any faster beat. Grooving is the best. I can't play punk or metal for my life.

[derdasbettauffrisst]

@etucc8 Well...I don't say I can't play this... It's just that keeping time accurately becomes far more important when you play stuff like this instead of more complex beats where the listener (i think your self is a listener too *g*) gets distracted by the lot of notes.

[DrummerGrrrl]

@etucc8: I can't either! I really like this video because the drummer is tearing it up on a four piece kit and really grooving. I'm a big fan of four piece drum kits and I could lock into a nice groove with other musicians and just play for hours! Forget fast playing, blast beats on the bass drum... nope, I definitely just want to get "in the pocket".

[enthusiastoftoast]

Two words: Kenny Buttrey. This dude totally reminds me of his work on Neil Young's "Harvest".

[IcanDRAW33]

Now here is the devil playing bass ?

[wellsinmud]

does anyone know how to play this song on guitar?

[DayleKT]

I like your beard

[xTurnipTimex]

This guy should come back.. he is gooooood

[unknown017369]

i live in germany and i really want to buy some music of this band but i can't find no album on the internet. can anybody help me?

[BrandonCaryMusic]

That's good stuff! What's the band called?

[samheardrum]

@rikkox1 Emperor Coated on everything!

[samheardrum]

@rikkox1 yeah! This one records very well, tune's up really nice for a poppy sound, or loose for this rootsie sound.. I will never let go of this kit...

[dudewiththehacky]

[emaculate]

@nhtruon single note on hi hit single on snare double kick _first phrase

[beaglestink]

Tasty stuff bro

[danthman44444]

i love that ride

[unknown017369]

where can i get this version of the song?

[CrazyTrainisawesome]

you remind me of a younger john bonham, playing style and the fact that you look just like him!

[AndrewVaz89]

that's the way to make music sound good. It's not always about playing fast or super complicated. just make it sound good. definitely a great drummer/musician.

[ThePetrusTube]

Premier Genista in White Marine! Sounds Awesome man!

[666TEKS666]

he is jesus on drums =)

i like him =)

[nonails3]

[LoveDrums14]

[ctown2ba]

3:15 ....... i think i just jizzed a little... like this if you jizzed..

[Specci84]

´Cause of this guys I get my drumset back from the attick and continue playin´. By the way, it´s a great song to do a pack of ciggs, bottle of booze and get convenient ;o)

[1xadavid]

How come everyone with a beard is awesome?

[hawkcwg]

this guy is such a great drummer.

[SonOfTheSystem]

i wanna fix my old drumkit and try this song, really really nice!

[joeyhandeland]

This guy is good.

Love his cymbal usage. Are those "Giant beats"?????

After seeing this, I have to buy a china cymbal for my kit.

[bennyboy273yeah]

nice and relaxed... could drink red wine and jam to this

[asbestosinhaler]

this jams.

[Achouel]

Hey I love it! What´s the name of the song, Cowboys & Indians but i can´t find the song on internet. someone that can help me, please!

[jofujenkins]

that beard is FIERCE!!

this guy is a solid player, though. for real.

[obortoluzzi]

CARAAALHOOO!!!! THE BEST!

[drums2god]

who sings this song? i haven't been able to find it.

[Ramboclot]

I like this guy... Why I haven't seen him before? Is this their only folk play-along?

[samheardrum]

there's another, called folk rock drum play along

[jamo2006]

this guy understands the benefit of negative space, kids ;)

Music is love.

[ARDrumr]

[maconeeye]

great style. lots of swagger.

[kikuticps]

he looks like Lionel Messi << Barcelona FC

heuaheauheuaheuaheuahea

[spacejeff]

this guy ain't so hot. Lars Ulrich is where it's at. And Jared Falk is a B3AST!

long live EDDY TANHH!

[samheardrum]

all of them legends.

all of

them

[DfarakSkeletor]

too bad, they play different styles of music...

[chiefchilly]

This is the best guy of the site

[inhabia128]

i agree with you! And it's a beutiful song!!! can you plz tell me bands with music like this, slow and relaxing song, perfect for cigaretts!

[ryanlikeshockey]

what is that china?

[proutboy]

Wuhan, probably 16" (maybe 18").

[wellsinmud]

im diggin this song

[gaba0380]

hi, how can i have this minus drums? is it possible to buy it?

[samheardrum]

yep, it comes with the playalong set

[FeathersT21]

go to the website listed in the description and you can download it there!

[Terinigan]

It's freaky, his technique looks so fucked up but he's got the most awesome feel :O

[samheardrum]

haha, it's because I was caught in an outflow of nuclear radiation!

[miketalbot4]

Awesome feel Sam. That's what it's all about.

[MrDooDooHead14725]

HOLY CRAP IT'S OBI-WAN IN A SWEATSHIRT! Seriously though, this dude RULES. \m/

[karaokemaschine]

reminds me of incubus

[smeaglerG]

this dude is the best drummer from this site by far

[MarcoLPooperman]

nevermind. didnt see the "playalong" thing

[MarcoLPooperman]

ok so this guys drumming is awsome. but this isnt really a lesson...i still liked it though

[colourfulwithaU]

All demonstrations are lessons, if you play close enough attention.

[prozdrums]

killer pocket sam!!! love your playing bro!

[innocencetube]

heh, cheers man thanks! we'll have to do beers and drums sometime man!

drop me a line when ur free!

sam.

[colourfulwithaU]

The best of the drum playalongs. This guy's got so much groove.

[leetface2]

i didn't know jesus played the drums

[SaviorNDeth]

@leetface2 He's Jesus, Jesus can do anything!

[mrmagic1989]

@leetface2 you do know

[0wnage55885]

@leetface2 Try watching the video again waiting for it to zoom out with the anticipation of him looking like Jesus.

[Hannibu]

In the beginning it sounds a bit like Crobsy. Stills, Nash and Young's "Down by the river".

[minkusoxyware]

in the start the guitar sounds like the rhythm of Any Colour You Like... to me it does at least

[black1991drumer]

Der Sänger hört sich bischchen wie der Sänger von Alice in Chains an

[MoePoisn]

humph, imho he sounds nothing like Layne Staley!

[innocencetube]

I wish I resembled alice in chains!! That band was a keeper!

[MUSICeasr]

nice, very nice ;)

[dirtyhammond]

AWSUME!!! totally great =) i like

[TheyTookAnimal]

Fucking impressive.

[MoePoisn]

hey really blows that stuff

[colinbullock]

you rip SammY !! Love ya guts :)

[innocencetube]

BoooJah!

[monsterstinker]

so sick...

[jamesisapain]

i agree

[cabezal456]

dude you're AWESOME!!! I like the song... but with drums... it just blows your mind... the groove it's great

[innocencetube]

how do you hold them? I could hold them "odder", how much will you pay me!

[gmcjetpilot]

ha ha, nice job. Love the whole thing and as I type, the fill starting 3:10, killer, tasteful. Love the song, never heard it before, but the drum part sounds perfect like it should have been recorded and produced that way. Cheers.

It is sad the kids get on the computer and play. I enjoyed the heck out of it.

[regret80]

Thats how you hold your sticks correctly :D

[punk9999643]

Their is no correct way to hold sticks.

[proutboy]

I love that one.

Seems easy, but he's got groove, touch, and he plays the right thing to play. ;)

[mattydahl]

great sounding kit. and very nice feel.

[KILLER2289]

cool vid

[RaaMppAggE]

perfect

[shadowedwolf66]

nice drum set!

thats all.

[slkypt]

what was your mic set-up for the drums here please?

excellent sensitive playing man.

[innocencetube]

man.. it was so long ago! I have no clue, 57 on the snare, d112 in the kick, that's all I can remember! sorry..

[poopikins]

wow, this guy really knows how to play drums!

i like the song, and i really like the drums.

fantastic job!

[lucas89arg]

excelent

[poonjobbyprick1]

if u type in visisting hours cowboys and indians then a little acoustic show of it comes up

[wberry00]

What is your cymbal set-up in this video Paiste Giant Beat?

[innocencetube]

Nope, it's a Paiste Trad. ride, Signature hats and crash

[satelight1]

this guy really knows how to play the drums!

great job man!

[TheTwoProjectors]

How come when I type in "visiting hours" in search it doesn't come up with anything? Is it not a famous song beacause I quite like it.

[gaba0380]

veeeery goooood!!!!!

[Armistace]

i like this, fits well with the music. Also, the dude looks pretty folky.

[innocencetube]

you guys are hilarious! I used to spend hours upon hours on my stick control. Ted Reed was my middle name, but after a while I started to use all of them in different setting, to get different sounds. The great players find different ways to get different sounds. Maybe one day I can be one! ha. This grip was French Timpani Grip, linkdext had it right. John Robinson uses this grip all the time and gets ALOT of power from it. Go get some lessons and figure them all out before u bash them :).

[Manmadrum]

Don't like at all the way he plays (sounds very mechanics at the beginning of the track)

[linkdext]

i think holds his sticks in french grip thats why it might seem weird

[trouble1993]

it's pretty good,

but he bholds his sticks a little weird, no offence though

[23aztek]

@ trouble1993:

With almost 20 years of experience I can say that it doesn't matter how you hold your sticks, as long as it works. It's not an optical question. If you can deal with your grip, then there's no need to change it.

And no need for a discussion.

When will you guys finally realise this fact?!

[trouble1993]

i don't need a siscussion, and i dont really get this comment,

i said no offence,

[23aztek]

@ trouble1993:

You don't get it? Then read again. It's a simple fact. It doesn't matter which stick control you use, when the effect has the same level. ...when you don't hear any difference.

-Get it now? ;-)

[trouble1993]

23aztek

what i ment is that i dont get why you send this comment i was just giving my opinion and kinda asked for no respons, do yóu get it now?

[23aztek]

Therefor we have the reply-button, dude. I don't care if someone asked for no response, when he say something stupid. Your comment - your fault, right? ;-)

Don't get it wrong - I know what you mean and it's enougt now.

Cést la vie.

[what1ever2guy3]

It's actually

C'est la vie

I'm french, go to a french school and was doing exercises on this homophone today, so I know what I'm talking about haha

[23aztek]

Huh? Actually I know that. That was a typo. ;-)

I have a german keyboard and all these special sign-typing combinations are confusing sometimes. ;-)

[what1ever2guy3]

Haha I hate doing papers cause all my keyboards are English.

I know what it's like, trust me.

[marcinnsz]

Good Man!Good Drum set PREMIER!Nice sound snare drum!

[Jazzjin]

the singer of the band performed at our high school! ^_^

[nniiaamm88]

exelente

[PoDiac]

liquid and ...

[jobindnl]

JESUS!!!!!!!!!

[cabezal456]

whta is te name of the song you're playing???

[innocencetube]

The song is called "visiting hours" by Cowboys and Indians

[TheTwoProjectors]

How come it doesn't come up with anything when I type it into youtube? Is it not a famous song?

[innocencetube]

not famous at all man. We are a local band in Vancouver, BC. The album is great though!! Should be famous! Thanks.

[innocencetube]

dumbass.

[aabighead]

i like his style. his drumming compliments the music really well.

[punk9999643]

God, that china is amazing.

[innocencetube]

Yeah, it's a busted Wuhan! One day, like all of us, it will be buried in the backyard!

[salmiakbal]

wow that kit sounds awesome:P

[boysilinyador]

his like an orthodox drummer. .when you see him play he is like hesitating. .but it was cool man. .keep it up. .tnx for the video. .nice tune. .ive learned something from this video. .[cheerz]

[EmbodiedDespair]

It looks like he's doing that to keep rhythm.

[InOneShot]

nice man cant wait to see them i was looking for more of you but couldnt find anymore so ya

[InOneShot]

ya man but i hope i am not coming off like i think u suck cause i dont casue i cant say anything ur on a drum lesson dvd and i am not so lol ya but ya i know what ur saying u wanted to change things up give it more feeling

[innocencetube]

ha, no worries mate. Didn't think that at all! I'll have some more stuff on youtube soon, I'm just behind the times technologically!

[petifod]

Yo man! i just wante to say that you did a really great job! nice playing, keep it up!

[InOneShot]

ya i gues i shouldnt say struggling it looks like u wanted to go faster but the song wouldnt let you

[innocencetube]

heh. oh well. I think what your seeing is my very deliberate attempts to leave space and not maintain a steady hat beat through the whole song. I wanted it to feel 'boggy'. Check some of the other one's on the dvd.

[InOneShot]

it looks like hes struggling to play this hes good and all but just his style seems like hes having a hard time

[innocencetube]

I was probably thinking about paying bills haha.

[gibspadovani]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS

[phpalpha]

AHAHAHHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!11111o­neoneone

[SyracuseFunk]

That part where the Bari sax comes in is great!

[MnogoRaznogo]

Manson on vocals))

[Ilukki]

he looks like jesus

[Apersonwhohasnoname1]

Or someone who plays in John Butler Trio. But yes, more like Jesus.

[ValDemari]

nice one!

[Pagidoulis]

oh myy god .. this song and that tempo at drums .. are really AWESOME

[sousamimpes]

siga mlk esy :P

[hujjer]

this was so well played! he put so much feeling into this! blew me away...

[pickyourwindow]

Really enjoyed this video the playing is groovey and subtle with great feel. I've just begun playing drums again after a three year hiatus and it's videos like this that have inspired me to pick up the sticks. Top quality.

[therealdmt]

That was cool!

[innocencetube]

hey folks, if you like what you hear check out my site. m y s p a c e / samheardrum I just posted some tunes on there, and will be posting some new ones soon!

cheers..

[BOIIIonkelzIIIBO]

hey very nice....i like the sound of your china..... what is it?

Alex

[Eliaso96]

hello i wote 5stars realy goooooood!!!!!!

[cm175240]

finally a video with some real music! Those other emo-punk playalongs suck. This is great!

[punk9999643]

Wow, you are clearly stupid. Only one of those songs are "emo-like", not all of em.

[italiarovinata]

Very good job, Jesus

[Tylermadas]

hahahaha

[victorolden]

Great !!!

god job!!!

5 stars!!!

[tibobee]

nice job !!!

[colrick1234]

Reminds me of Gary Peterson great drummer from Canadas own The Guess Who. Legendary group. Saw them live in 1972 in Tennessee. These musicians were excellent players like this young man, he is right play for the song not for drummers to say wow, man. Great taste in his playing. Im going to find an 18 Wuhan, and play it with as much taste as this kid does.(I hope)

[grooveman84]

this drums sounds awesome. good job bro! less is more

[punk9999643]

Damn, at 3:02 you hit the hight tom mic.

[punk9999643]

This is folk? Sounds like grunge-type music. Actully it sounds kinda like Soundgarden.

[insanedrummer89]

that hit hat thing is cool

almost unnecessary

but pretty cool.

original thats for sure.

the only thing that is unnecessary is something that doesn't add color and texture to the music, or gets in the way of vocals.

My snare is an all birch, standard size, and the cymbals are paiste. traditional ride, and signature hats and crash.
