definitively single stroke on the kick u can clearly hear it when the recording is slowed down i did the same thing years ago on a record player to find there was only a signal stroke on the kick, intro for "over the mountain" ozzy
Boneman.thanks for takeing the time to break down some of these intros and fills that we have been listening to for years but couldn't quite figure out what's going on.
Bang on man. So far your are the only guy on here that I have seen doing this right with the "Texas Shuffle" where you shuffle on the snare with the left hand and keep the right straight. In Texas you are not worth your salt if you can't play the shuffle on your snare. I think the fill before the lead has a double kick in it but what you are doing works great for those with out a double kick or double pedal.
@stixx138, double kick? I think it's just like with the fast Bonham triplets and how in them the lower tom makes it sound like there's another kick in there. But I don't think there is?? Or at least never thought of it that way.
Pay attention...this guy is playing it right. Frank Beard and Alex van halen are two underated mother f#@kers... Frank Beard is so bad ass that young people just can't even comprehend how sexy his drumming really is.
Wow excellent tutorial, one of the best I've seen! You are a natural teacher. I was able to get the ZZ top fills in 1/2 hr. thanks for the methodical approach and slow videos. Rock on'
Its two rhythmic phrases for the rim shots. Not just 1 that is repeated over and over. At 3:00 you are playing in time are correct rhythmically speaking, I think, but, the problem is the right side of your body is discriminating against the left side of your body. You can visually see this. If you look at your right hand, there is so much more activity there than what your left hand is doing. You need to alternate every time around. Parra diddle if you have to. Fine a way to make it two phrases.
He is shuffling on the right had as you say. He has pitch activity going on. Meaning, he is using the fat part of the stick, then moving it to the right of the rim thus hitting the lighter part of the stick, thus making more melody. Basically, by doing this, he is making two legs of a four legged horse using only one had. The other hand it the other two legs of the horse. Left hand is swinging the upbeat with accent 2 and 4. The swing is extreme. This is how he makes the flams. Its "horse gait".
Thanks a lot! This video helps me so much with the rim pattern. But I have a little problem with the main shuffle. I have no hear so many snares, instead I hear is more bass drum. Please consider it. Remember Frank Beard uses double bass.
All of your instructions are great, especially when you use your very descriptive music notation. What are you using as an editor application for the music notation?
...and thanks for being so good at this! it's a lesson to all the other would be online and offline drum instructors...
You're stuff is fantastic!

Mate any chance you could do a video on snare tuning or at take the snares off and tap the drum so I can tune off your snare. thats sounds awsome.
