  • Ben, I noticed one thing: in the drum fill, after playing: FLOOR TOM - TOM - FLOOR TOM - BASS DRUM - SNARE, the correct way to play is: FLOOR TOM - TOM - FLOOR TOM - FLOOR TOM - FLOOR TOMS - BASS DRUM - SNARE, and not like you (TOM - TOM - FLOOR TOM - FLOOR TOM - FLOOR TOM - BASS DRUM - SNARE). am I wrong?

  • Super bravo a toi vivement d'autres videos, tres bien explique..... batteurmen

  • i do love the "ooo yeah section" haha

  • Thank you very much !!!

  • Great lesson! But I noticed that on the tom fill when it gets to the hi-hat bit, Dom plays the ribbon crasher with his right hand so it sounds a bit like a double open hi-hat (which could be an alternative if you don't have a ribbon crasher)

  • You are officially the most epic guy evar! Thanks, this is amazing, so clear and easy to understand :)

  • awesome tutorial!

    Can't really imagine how long would the process be. when you want to upload this vid!

    deserves more views Ben ;) awesome cover!

  • que bien tocas hombre haces parecer que se vea fácil

  • just one thing i've noticed is that in the beginning, the high hat accent is on the UP beat, not the down beat. its tricky and it seems like people leave it out alot.

  • you rock dude!!!!!

    

  • cool playing .. but the bass drum too quit ;) :DD

  • Thanks for the tutorial! I will play this song in live day 30 of this month, so the video help me a lot :P

  • Can I suggest that you get black drum sticks so when you play your white skinned toms it is easier to see which drum you are hitting, thanks :)

  • i used this song to audition for the brit school and i got in thanks to this tutorial :)

  • rifaz!

    xD

    hahaha!

  • Awesome man!

    could you do tutorial for Knights of cydonia?

  • Create Drum for The Red jumpsuit apparatus face down ben fowell pleasee :)

  • thank's for tutorial ... me your fans ..

  • just started playing my kit again after 3 years. this tutorial is amazing, like having a teacher in the room! thanks.

  • @cast1990x also, meant to say that i never managed to play the tom fill when i used to play but after a couple of hours of your tutorial ive pretty much got it down.

  • Where did you get your Ribbon Crasher from and for how much?

  • I love dominic howard and i study all of muses concerts and their are bits of that that aren't quite the same.

    But awsome vid

  • Awesome!

    

  • oh, i forgot: i really want to play to this song, but i find no version without drums -.-

  • @Genuigr

    okay found one. btw my hi-hat sounds like this thing with 4 sheets of metal xD

  • Please, with this tutorial you helped me very much. make more :D

  • you need to do a tutorial for uprising

  • Excellent teacher (and excellent drummer) , i realise that i do this song not correctly --' thank you man!

  • THANK YOU MASTER FOR YOUR VIDEO =)

  • Can you do a tutorial for Plug in baby and Uprising....would help =] but AWESOME tutorial

  • YOU ARE A GOD ! Thanks man this really helped..my favourite part was 00:00-15:17 ;) I Seriously cudnt stop hittin the replay button !!..this is really gonna help me..as i sed..YOUR A GOD..keep it up !!

  • Not to take anything away from this video at all, because Its brilliant and you explain everything in real nice detail for easy understanding and learning. But there are quite a few little pieces I saw that are incorrect but like I said there only minor. Still best tutorial on youtube for this song.

  • Best tutorial on youtube !

  • perfect tutorial, cant be better! Now I finally know which toms he's hitting in that fill, before I only saw flying sticks ^^

  • First ever video that i've put on my ipod. Great work man. You should do more of these.

  • very good thanks!

    

  • 3 people need to chose a less difficult song to learn to drum :P

  • any one know what to use instead of the 11" ribbon crasher because i dont want to spend 40 quid on something i'd only use in one song? apart from that i can play it all :D

    Cameron - 14 - playing drum since august '09

  • @MrCstewart8 You can do it with the hi-hat with your left hand, that's what I saw on another cover.

  • @MrCstewart8 half open hi-hat?

  • @MrCstewart8 a really really cheap china maybe ? :D

  • @MrCstewart8 I know it's a bit late, but I use the hihat but very slightly open :)

  • @MrCstewart8 i just use my hi hat slightly open

  • @MrCstewart8 maybe a half open hi hat could work, try it out :)

  • @MrCstewart8 I open the hi-hat very slightly a just hit it as hard as I can without cracking it. It doesn't sound as good as the ribbon crasher but it works.

  • @MrCstewart8 You could try using the hi-hat, playing it as a small alternative until you can get access to a ribbon crasher:)

  • i LOVE you lesson.

    you are explain in the way everyone could understand what your playing !

    FUCKING NICE

  • holy fuck this looks so fucking professional

  • aaaa thank you so much! i always wanted to learn it properly! im a begginer though and it isn't going too good :P (especially the tom toms part, cant get the speed needed for it :/)

    anyway, great work! im looking forward for more :)

  • @Sanroxem lol i know what you mean. Dont worry and keep practicing. All good drummers have had years of it. I use to struggle with this but now i can play it with my eyes closed because i practiced all the time. Keep it up and keep drumming, you will eventually get it. :D

  • dude can u text me how to make a video with 2 cameras?

    awesome skills by the way :D

  • 2 people are colourblind and this is soooo good i would pay u for personal drum lessons :P

  • 2 people are colourblind

  • thanks bro !! I´m going to upload the song in ´the next week ! .. thanks for your tutorial !!

  • Nice work man!You're good at speaking to a camera, and of course, you are an awesome drummer!!

  • Section 6 should use the floor and tom and snare just before the hi-hat, and try using both the ribbon and hihat separately, instead of just the hi-hat.. It can be seen perfectly here at 4:16.

    /watch?v=RBgp9KX2uSA

    Great tutorial, keep it up!

  • Love your videos mate. Doesn't allow playback on iPad thought...any reason? Keep up the good work!

  • damn u make it all look too easy :L amazing work man! :D

  • man your drumset sounds phenomanal

  • What is the size of your ribbon crasher?

  • dom does do eigths on the crash in the chorus yo. but not every stroke is an accent like you briefly show.

  • @OreemcreaM agreed

  • In the tom fill, the ribbon crasher needs to be hit before the hi hat. I love your drumset.

  • @OrganiAZNVo1 agreed

  • love the shell design :] please link some kind of info

  • I'm glad I found you : )

  • dude i have a question.. :) what do you use to mount your ribbon crasher..?? using only the cymbal stand or you have something placed before mounting it..?? really appreciate if you could share it with us..

  • @Feyez10 Dude I the same question. So please share Ben! ><

  • So, I can't find it anywhere. What type of bass drum head do you have? EMAD or Superkick? And for snare. Excuse me for this... bah!

  • Totally loving your style! And I love that you do a lot of muse vids, they're among my favourite bands!

  • class man you should do more tutorials and you should do a video bout your kit im defiantly gon 2 favorite and like

  • That was fantastic Ben; you got the teaching gift alright, made it perfectly clear for me.

    Any chance you can do the same for Stockholm Syndrome, the tom roll in it has me stumped. =(

  • This is insane ! Thank you so much this is what I call a pro video. So much work involved in this ! You rock.

  • during the tom fill, the second part just before the hi-hat i think it's snare+floor tom, thats how dom do it in live videos

  • @karlox2000

    Exactly what I was going to say. =)

  • GOOD QUALITY!!!

  • yeah i agree with soymilkhero; and these are a great idea, good job benny!

  • I always wanted to learn the tom part in the build-ups. :D You should do Map Of The Problematique next.

  • wm seco te pasaste lo haces muy bien ¡

    you do it very Good ¡¡

    identic ¡

  • dom uses ribbon crasher and hi hat in the fill LIVE but on the recording its just hi hat :)

  • also I love those toms :D sounds awesome emperors?

  • hate to be a troll but

    at 5:53 sounds more like starlight when you did with your mouth

  • Very useful dude :)

    I'd love to watch the same kind of video for Stockholm Syndrom!

    Keep on rockin'!!

  • Hey ben..

    The part in the song Demonstration , when your on the toms and catching the open hi hat... your supposed to actually catch the ribbon crasher and then the hi hat right after it.. to make it sound like one full catch .. but its actually two!!

  • Man! You really need to start doing some more difficult songs! This is too easy for you, and you can do better than this. I know it !

    :-)

  • Congrats. Very nicely made. You are appreciated. Thanks

  • love how in the tom fill he thinks to himself shit nearly forgot the hi hat and quickly saves himself :L

  • At the "Dom-Fill" part -- Doesn't he use the ribbon-crash there too?

    Right hand at the ribbon-crash right before you hit the high-hat?

  • hey, i've got a question: how did you manage to mount your ribbon crasher so steady?

  • please play Assassin, you are so good

  • I'd happily pay for more of these. Could boost your takings, Ben.

    Provide a few freebies for your adoring and loyal fans though :D

  • Men!! you're awesome!!! OMG you should do more of this type of videos(:

  • Ben you are so adorable...

  • I want to see an 'Assassin' cover !

  • awesome video

  • how do u interpret that well the song cause in many drums i cant hear so well the bass???

  • what if it is easy?

    it is still a pretty dam good song... so groovy, I prefer this than blast beats

    also drummers like us (played this song like 3 years ago, probably the 1st song you played (and I have a lot of doubts about thats, to a begginer is pretty hard)) it was "easy" but come on, not every1 is good at starting, its not "im better" it is just "I have played more time than you"

  • @ju0ju45 Seriously, this was not ment in any offense way, but who can't play that song by ear? There's nothing special about it what needs any further explantions.

  • really useful! thanks! :-D

  • Great video! Thanks for it :D

  • Woow man yout china sounds awsome ! Its sounds like a huge exposion! Awsome

    vid btw you should to do more vid like this one .

  • soo good!

    the tutorial is a very nice idea! love the drum-fill!

    please do more of those !

  • Fantastic job! It's an absolutely perfect tutorial. Just the right amount of time spent on each section and all the different camera angles really help. It's all too easy to be a great drummer (well, not that easy :P) and then be rubbish at conveying what you do to other people but you have talent at both! Thumbs up!!!!!

  • There are no words to explain how much i like this!! Keep it up with muse tutorials :D

  • you did a great job, this tutor is very useful for me to play this song, I always suck in the part of tom fill-in! keep going!

  • Excellent tutorial Ben!! You should start doing more of these!!

  • thanks man, i was having trouble with that tom fill

  • More tutorials! This was awsome! Best video you made!

  • Awesome!

    You need to do more of these!

  • good explanation, but i find the song really easy, kind of unnecessary to do it sooooo point-on correct, in my opinion

  • My master!!! I love to yours cover's *___* 

  • Go forth master...Thanks for your time, lessons and cover the OST of our lives.

  • i have those extreme isolation headphones too... THEY ARE AWESOME :D

  • @raymandrums  Same and they are epic!!! :D
