Radiohead - Reckoner Drums

[Gretsche87]

Wouldn't it be easier for you to move the ride to your left side that way you wouldn't have to cross over?

[addnone]

@Gretsche87 yeah I usually do that.

[maddhattertime]

What I love about this song is that there is a *tiny* pause after the drum "riff" The guy playing this omitted the small pause

[thelessworld]

i am right-handed and play the same way becuse 'somehow' its so much easier to me, too : ) Well, i learned playin the drums by myself, do you?

[addnone]

@thelessworld Yea, I learned myself too ! haha

[wattsmoss]

it´s great, but could be better.

[scoutinternational]

that's a nice break beat but it's not the way the beat of reckoner goes. Nice break in itself, for what that's worth..

[geefron]

i would love to hear u fade to song in that would be epic, the drums are so good because they are absolutely perfect for the song this doesn't do them justice

[JaksProductions]

umm Nice, but you need to play it with the bell.... listen to the song more carefully. ;)

[Gretsche87]

@JaksProductions

The bell is what makes it come alive.

That song holds alot of nostalgia for me, like returning home after a long time and there is a celebration.

[Euntz]

Now you just need two more people do do the marracca's. That was sick man, thats my favorite song and favorite beat ever.

[Euntz]

one maracca on beats two and four, and one just doing eighth notes and it would be really sick.

[platinumdynamite]

Such a great beat, it flows without stopping, I love it!

[kon3piu]

[oadrums]

your snare sounds awesome, and you are a good player. you kept the tempo good.

good job/

[addnone]

thanks !!

[JackAndrews221]

+1 to that, the bass drum sounds great too. in the song is there like a tamborine in the background too?

[addnone]

thanks !!, yea, there's a tambourine and a shaker i think....

[slugger19711971]

I wasnt a drummer when i first heard this, but i heard the ride bell ditto, and how it comes back after the strings and loved it, i dont know or care whether it has any pattern to it, its the variation the makes it.. wierd fishes is probably the song that made me set up the drums, been at it 3 months, your playing very well to my ears, is that index finger supposed to be flapping in the air like that!! how long have you been playing i would like to know??

[addnone]

yeah, weird fishes is an amazing song... I've been playing since i was a little kid... Thanks for the comment !!!!

[Pwnzor729]

Are you by chance left handed? I noticed you playing the snare with your right hand, and hit the ride with with your left.

Unless you're just trying to balance your hands by switching which plays which? I do that sometimes..

[addnone]

I am right-handed, but the way I learned to play is Left-handed.. weird huh?

[geefron]

say what, thats badass, nice cover tho

[willmer88]

this is wrong. not that bad i guess. you gotta get that raw bell sound in there or it's not reckoner!

[wilfan12]

he is playing open handed? if he played the exact same beat with the same hands but on the hi hat instead, would that not be open handed??

[weeniepuppy156156]

i love the sound of ur snare

[addnone]

thanks, it's an 80's era Ludwig

[weeniepuppy156156]

wait ur left handed. how come ur not playing open handed??? i guess its personal prefrence but i looks really un comfortable, but you should really take advantage of ur left-handed-ness cuz open syled drumming opens up so many crazy possibilitties. i wish i was left handed i spent years training my left hand lead so i could play open style... im not dissing u r' anything i hope u dont take it the wrong way..but ya if you dont no what im talking about look up carter buford. btw nice cover and..

[slugger19711971]

tell me one peice of a drum kit that is asymetrical??

If you dont know what i mean then it probably confirms that you are a half wit!, correct me if i am wrong (what i mean is, why would a left handed drummer be any different? or is he left handed but right footed, in which case i apologise!!)

[CookieMonster3991]

have you tried airbag?

[addnone]

yeah, i can play Airbag easily. : )

[rnm90]

sorry mate but its wrong

[gibspadovani]

it's wrong.

[phreak89]

Sick man! This is one of my favorite songs to play on drums, I just kinda improv to it, don't play the identical beat to the song. I absolutely love your snare though! What type is it?

[telearsi]

i love this beat...

i liked the sound of your drums, especially your snare

[addnone]

thanks !!!!

[darunninman]

nice try...thing is that there is no true straight beat in reckoner...but listen closely and you'll get it. Very good bass drum and snare work, but I think that you are missing the bell a bit on the ride symbol. Also, you are working too low on the ride. Hit the bell. close onn Phils subtle 8 stroke rolls. None the less, you are right on. As a drummer with a trained ear and I absolutely love this song for it's ghost beats, it's quite nice.

Bravo!

[addnone]

thanks !!

[darunninman]

100%. :-)

Make one with Mixamatosis.  I'd like to see your attempt on that one.

This is the best of the you tube videos that I've seen for reckoner.

[addnone]

Myxomatosis is actually easier than this one...will do when i get a chance. : ) thanks again.

[lavatorpedo]

your ride is a little to echoey

[scrblanc010]

Shoot. I'm incorrect. Ignore my last post.

[scrblanc010]

Sounds good.

[addnone]

thanks !

[StanleyDonwood]

I'm pretty certain that there's a backing track on the recorded version of this(the Radiohead one you know what I mean), so maybe that's why you're having a tough team getting it just right.

However I wouldn't put it past Phil Selway to do it perfectly live.

[addnone]

stanley donwood?

[StanleyDonwood]

That's me, yes?

[addnone]

not the REAL Stanley..of course.. ?

[StanleyDonwood]

I don't have this name for show.

[addnone]

well if it IS you, then.. i have one of your prints. i love it

[StanleyDonwood]

Glad someone enjoys my work

[addnone]

love your work, every Radiohead album is complete with your work.

[StanleyDonwood]

Not quite. Pablo Honey.

[addnone]

true.

[gavbag1234]

No way,

[StanleyDonwood]

Hmm?

[BladeJB343]

It's good, but not exactly what Phil does on the kick.

[addnone]

Thanks, this is the album-version of Reckoner i covered. You're right, Phil does play it differently now in live performances.

[BladeJB343]

I'm not so sure that he does play it this way on the album cut. Maybe, maybe not. I need to take another listen on a better system.

I know this, because I initially played it the way you do in the video on my kit. :) But it isn't exactly right. Upon listening via my PC headphones, I can't really make out the kick hits.

[mileschris]

Well done, bro.

[addnone]

thanks !!

[itstillmoves]

Awesome! I've always been a huge fan of Phil's drumming and was so happy when I heard this song. I play guitar myself but nothing stops me from air drumming this song haha

I love the outro with that slightly syncopated snare roll but I can never find a video of Phil playing it live :\

[addnone]

if you search for Radiohead Scotch Mist Reckoner, you can see Phil playing it, he has his own camera during the webcast performance..

[powerbub1228]

Sounds pretty damn close man. Good job. Drums are the one instrument I could never play so I'm always impressed by it. That beat sounds so simple, yet it's so complicated.

[addnone]

thanks !! yeah, i agree it sounds simple but it's a bit hard to master it, Phil is the grooviest drummer, almost every Radiohead song has a badass drum groove, always full of feeling.

[Mattrock607]

Is that a Ludwig Supraphonic snare? Also, I see you're a lefty drummer (crossing over for ride instead of the hats), I play the same way :)

[addnone]

i don't believe it's a Supraphonic.. i know it's an 80s era snare.. yeah the lefty thing is weird cuz i'm right-handed. haha

[Mattrock607]

Is that a Ludwig Supraphonic snare? Also, I see you're a lefty drummer (crossing over for ride instead of the hats), I play the same way :)

[Ninjujitsu]

The snare sounds a bit sharp but otherwise I like it a lot bro.

[addnone]

thanks !!

[pulkpulldoors]

pretty good, just remember that Phil plays the top of the cymbal. watch the scotch mist version and you'll see what i'm talking about.

[addnone]

yeah, he hits the bell of the ride.. and he also plays the bass drum differently on the Scotch Mist and Thumbs Down versions...I'll probably post another take on it playing it like he does on Scotch Mist, its a little easier..

[mickaelmenu]

Good

[addnone]

thanks !!
