Mike Johnston Lesson 4

[mattchurchify]

Drum teachers say "Independence," and I think "aww dangit, I've got to learn something!" lol

[marc777danielle]

a lot harder then it actually looks

[bradrayp]

The kit... It sounds just amazing. 

[JuJuHouse24]

lol a little bit faster huh?

[MrDROPSHOT9]

so your accenting on the and?

[konradhadala]

Yeahhhh

[alandanielw]

Great video

[MegaHeshProductions]

this is very like a grid pattern. grids have to do with drum corp and probably never heard of it but i love gridding hybrids

[RepressedDreams]

Mike is seriously the best teacher I have found! Very personable, humble, and merges technique with feel and entertainment!

[inimicalODDITY]

that's pretty freakin' sweet man. I find its easier at higher tempos.

[holyhell937]

I love your lessons, but I REALLY love how your drums sound. How do you record them?

[Thedosilemasses]

audio is poor

[SoundOfSorrowSOS]

@Thedosilemasses Are you tone deaf? This is awesome.

[Thedosilemasses]

@SoundOfSorrowSOS dont ou hate it when you leave your page open and our room mate posts ridiculous comments in order to make you look silly? If you've ever been facebook raped you will know what i mean.. peace

[allmetaliswelcome]

it even has a nice groove!

[hughforik]

Very nice. Wonderful presentation.

[Destroy240995]

what is that ride you are using?

[et720]

@Destroy240995 Im trying to figure that out too...looks like some kind of paiste signature or dry ride

[Destroy240995]

@et720 found them they are called paiste dark energy

[mrmurder1510]

@Destroy240995 I think they're Paiste Twenties

[BrownBoyRosh]

@Destroy240995 search up drumteacher76 theres a video that shows all the stuff he uses

[theyhavepeabrains]

That has to be the sweetest looking drum set I've ever seen.

[MrFlores31]

dude that was hecka sick!!!

[FrameSticker]

I've played hi-hat foot ostinatos since I discovered how to splash a hi-hat... it really spices things up, but it makes me not need a lesson from you ):

Great job, though.

[specialness16]
