[SKYHIGH1046]

[420jaymac]

@SKYHIGH1046 wow your good then

[Wolverine51324]

I love to play my left hand with my snare 1: 23

[SpiritHardDrive]

Were the drums being picked up by the little mic on his shirt?

[olsalesd]

haha 1:51 nice

[guggsdugrass]

By the way... a drummer hasn't to be slim.

there are many good big drummers

[MrMike3865]

This guy does a great job teaching.

[EILIVdrummer]

Really cool drummer :D

[PositivelyBored]

Imagine if this guy actually worked out, stayed healthy ...he'd be a master.

[papertowelzftw123]

@abisai0medrano

he hit the cymbal on accident. woww. bad fail.

[mctuber68]

@papertowelzftw123 Actually no, the fail was that he said "your gonna play your left hand with your snare,"

[papertowelzftw123]

@mctuber68 oh. i gotcha. sorry i hate it when people say fail at stuff like him hitting the cymbal. but i get it. tht was kinda a fail

[mctuber68]

@papertowelzftw123 Haha yeah the speech was, but i think he did mean the cymbal hit, unless he put the wrong time, but yeah tapping a cymbal?? Why even acknowledge that

[papertowelzftw123]

@mctuber68 that was my exact thought. my bad about being an ass

[mctuber68]

@papertowelzftw123 Haha its cool i do it all the time

[mctuber68]

@papertowelzftw123 ..i think

[abisai0medrano]

FAIL!

AT 1:26 MWAAHAHAHA!

[italiarovinata]

Independence do not exist.

Only exists coordination.

[p3rcbol]

@italiarovinata i beg to differ man... there is a thing such as independence in terms of drumming it just means you could play and given beat on any given limb on any given time with out loosing "coordination"...

but they work hand in hand... so what you said is still half true :)

[entshuldigung88]

What the hells going on with his eyebrows man? Great drummer tho

[jcladyweird]

man!! you are awesome.. You teach very bold and clear...  thanks!!!! great job!

[liladrianabc]

iron cobra!!! :D

[bamktbam14]

I like your videos lolx and I'm also glad that I can do everything that your teaching but I watch your videos to fine-tune my skills

[bigdude786]

[RyanDaKid87]

Yup! Same Cold Ass MF!

[musicallytoned1]

[RougeSanta]

i wish he could be my private teacher =D

[x360z0cker]

snare sounds like st.anger

[fabianlikestoskate]

Rofl st anger has the worst snare in any album of the world xD

[supersxe639]

well said

[p4intb411]

that is the most basic off all beats u can possibly learn

[AK47NYG]

This dude is funny as hell!

[smiley21100]

no offence but he sounds like cory from tht so raven

[x360z0cker]

FAAAAT

[ajejerulestheworld]

asd

[theatticboy]

1:50 that was sooooo damn TIGHT!!!!

[246KingPin]

ure a good teacher :DDD

except when u were showing the snare and Hi-Hat combo the snare sounded kinda flat

[celestialvoyager82]

I think it's switched off ..the snare i mean

[gagermel1234]

=D=D=D

[gagermel1234]

his eyebrows

[jrlee31]

what's that on your forehead? its darken...

[Feesharp9er]

Guess you can't date him now...

[JH4lifes]

so basically he just showed us a slowed up version of a punk beat

haha

great teacher though dude =]

[johnnylawrason]

its called a 2-beat but when up to speed its considered a punk beat

[JH4lifes]

thats basically what i just stated above... haha

[johnnylawrason]

i know i just realized haha i sound like an idiot

[pietzsche]

punk beats are usually 2/4 he's playing straight 4/4

[kennysix18]

You do a really good job teaching, bro. I'm not gonna lie, I wish the snare had a mute on it. The ringing was kinda annoying.

[dissyduster]

What a great dude,WELL DONE MAN.

[Ryoubreathingnow]

its a basic fucking rock beat, stop being stupid.

and NO your NOT using every limb your body, your "left" foot,(on the hats or other kick pedal) should come in if your using every limb, not just 3.

your a fucking stupid teacher, and you need to learn how to tune, because your stuff sounds like shit.

if you want a real drum lesson go to drumteacher76's youtube channel.

[x8dddx]

Calm down, and post a video of you playing better?

[Phishhead27]

first of all his drums sound not that bad on good mikes and second of all this is just a beginner lesson so you cant be saying anything about his teaching.

[georgebaggy]

well he did open the hi hat on the last beat, so he did use every limb on his body. and if you knew anything about drum mics then you would understand why his entire kit sounded like that. get over it.

[Ryoubreathingnow]

He opened it ONCE in the entire video, he didnt do it on the last beat(there are 4 beats in a bar in what hes playing), he did it once.

If thats how you consider things, you would also be playing the and notes, because he did that two times in the video. and yes i know quite a bit about drum mics, it is not the mics making the drums sound like that, its the tuning.

I would be fine with this video if he lived up to his word

[eldogmusic]

I don't think the sound your hearing from the drums is from the mics. I'm pretty sure they'd sound a lot better if that was the case.

You'll notice the guy doesn't have a mic near his mouth (not even one of those cheesy Madonna style mics)

So surely the sound is just picked up with an on camera or single boom mic source.

The guys doing a good thing showing people these boring basics of drumming.

[bma3974]

The fact that he's keeping the hi hat closed is a function of the left foot when used on the hi hat. Keeping it closed is just as important as opening it. However, he does open it. And it is an intro video for beginners. And gospel and jazz drummers like ring in their snares. And Mike Johnston is an awesome teacher as well.  And whose being stupid? A consensus would be you.

[MitchellXxXChRisTiE]

Great video, nice cymbals but terrrrrrrrrrible bass/snare drum.. i like the video, you get a 5/5 but buy a new snare or tune it better... and ur bass is muffled by holding your foot, also putting say a sleeping bag in it makes the bass sound more deep (But it is louder..) which helps

[bma3974]

Gospel and jazz influenced drummers appreciate ring in there snare and kick. I understand why he likes ring. But I'm like you, I appreciate less ring. To each his own. Also, keeping his foot on the kick is effectively doing the same thing your sleeping bag would do. Muffle. It doesn't change the pitch, just eliminates ring.

[dtnxxcbroz87xx]

no offense but your not sappossed to take the bass hamer and press it and hold in on the pad when you play it...... it muffs the sound

[timebomb15]

bass hammer?? You mean beater? That's probably the sound he wants.

[madchops82]

alot of drummers do that...it's a matter of preference. Sure, you get a more overtoned sound by not sinking the beater...but a punch is quick...lay right into it. This lesson is ridic...shit is too basic

[georgebaggy]

yeah but someones gotta put some basic stuff on here

[bumscinelli]

its a basic lesson omgoodness ur stupid its and intro to drumming

[betatestersrule08]

I like that....I like how he put grooves together and how hw said each body part has a certian groove...that's how I play!!

[blackelk]

God bless your soul ..great playing and teaching .

Keep it up

[AlexMartin011]

Good, clear, concise ideas. Good quality video. stop h8ing people.

[Khaliyl19]

Very pleasant instructor......and he explains himself with crystal clarity!

[blacc88]

i'm sticking up for him no going against him.

[blacc88]

no i mean he's a good teacher. i'm talking to the ppl that's talking bad about him.

[BoomTaBoom4drums]

I love this guy, he explains it without all of the complicated cunfusing stuff. Ive been trying to find someone on youtube that will just show me diffrent stuff.

[drummerboyjayrock]

well if you listen to what he is saying and you understand his concept and do it yourself. dont down him for trying to put down the basics for beginers

[magalzo182]

even if everyone plays the same beat, it doesn't sound exactly the same. it depends on the accent, the feel, and the way you carry that particular beat.

[ric2play]

RIGHT....music is in the ears of the listener...

[ngbulldog]

nowhere in this video does he say that he is an expert

[drummerboyjayrock]

EXACTLY!!

[simonpca]

That's a technique like another... A little bit like the "heels up/down" thing I guess :P

[misterriddlez]

yeah right...you'll fail school and get fired trying to teach that pedal technique...anybody can make a video now a days

[mrwms]

i mean that's just his style dud is sick on the drums

[Aaronjiski]

I have to say I love his snare sound

[drumnasty1]

yeah i like it too

[Flamebroiledwhopper]

That's almost exactly how my snare sounds. I think he has the same heads as me, I'll have to check though.

[yatoast4444]

nice video, thanks, I just got my drum set today

[DanishDrummingManiac]

Haha... i remember clearly when my teacher tought me this :-) 5 years ago xD

[jdj0096]

How come you are "duhing" the video. He did this for individuals that is totally just learning...people that ain't got that natural rhythm. This is fundamentals for specific individuals. Kudos!
