[DrumsTheWord]

@13Drumsticks Hi, don't worry, your English is excellent! I have not used this drum kit before so cannot help you I'm afriad. Sorry about that but thanks for your question anyway! Rob :)

[13Drumsticks]

@DrumsTheWord Ok^^ Em, does Im Afraid mean ´I have to go´ or ´Im scared´?

And i wan to say why i don´t subscribe you ( I hope ´subscribe´ means that i see every new video whick was made by you), I dont subscribe you, because you don´t only make How-to-Drum Videos of Green Day Songs (I dont want to play songs like ,,we will rock you"). But dude, you make a very excellent jop! :) every video by you gets a thumb up by me^^

[drklenk]

@DrumsTheWord What Headphones do you use? are they tight to your head?

Excuse my bad english xD

[DrumsTheWord]

@drklenk I just use standard cheap headphones, I don't even know the make of them. They're not really tight on my head at all, just enough to hear the drums is all I need really. Hope this answers your question and thanks for your interest! Rob

[6simpatikos]

@DrumsTheWord

i have the same electric kit and i would like to know how you can conect the sound so it can go on the computer...i dont know how to explain it but its that i want to make drum covers but i dont know how to transport the drum sounds to the computer

[foxpawz]

[gibman1]

Great teaching video mate!

Thanks!

[dtigers27]

Very good job! You throw some tabs in and I would pay a few bucks for these. That and you start doing some folk, country or blues covers ;)

[DrumsTheWord]

[DrumsTheWord]

@trecoolfan09 It's a Yamaha DTXPress Special IV and it cost about £1000. Search online for the best deals. Cheers and good luck! Rob

[SlimShady66616]

what are you looking on the left sied the whole video??

[DrumsTheWord]

@SlimShady66616 The hand written music notation on my music stand. Rob

[DrumsTheWord]

@johnythedrummer I think this is a decision that you will have to make. The convenience of an electric drum kit over the realistic sound of an acoustic drum kit. Both have positives and negatives. I'm slightly leaning towards the electric kit though in your situation as you could potentially play it in a student house of residence or flat in two years....within reason of course.

[DrumsTheWord]

@johnythedrummer Good question. I have an article on my website discussing this very issue. You can read under my free drum lesson and then free article section. You see, I use both electric and acoustic for different situations. Electric is really good to practice, teach and record videos with whilst the acoustic is essential for live gigs. It really depends on what you want to buy a drum kit for in the first place? Rob

[CoDyBMX12]

hey whoever out tht one dislike prob hit the ring button. uv helped me alot im 12 and im doin great.... u rock man keep puttin out the lessons

[Prinzenes]

Nice Tatto

[vansteenkiss]

Hey dude, I'v been watching your lessons, there the best on youtube for beginner to intermediate songs cause you explain shit really good.

But another thing, I'v gotten myself the same drumkit like you ( yamaha DTXPRESS IV special ) And I would like to record stuff with that thing, I'm not the most computer wise guy, Could you quickly explain how to record playings and transfer them to normal computer ?

[DrumsTheWord]

@vansteenkiss Cheers for the kind words! I just plug the drum kit directly into the cameras microphone socket and then upload the finished video to my computer. You need a camera with a mic port and a lead to attach with and that's it. Hope that helps! Rob

[rob96911]

is it wrong to use heavy drumsticks on an electric drum??

[DrumsTheWord]

@rob96911 Only if you bash really hard. Electric drums can take some punishment but you do have to be careful not to over do it.

[markuxo11]

las caras que pones mientras tocas me dan risa xd

[brianmadmaxsy]

That sticks are you using? Nova by Vic Firth?

[DrumsTheWord]

@brianmadmaxsy They are just standard Vic Firth 5B Nylon Tips I think. Thanks for your interest! Rob

[YaItsRiff]

pause at 3.02 lol

[13Drumsticks]

@YaItsRiff for the english ones: stop at 3:02 lol

[XxxxiamneilpeartxxxX]

Damn! I've been playing this song wrong! It's good how you're doing these videos. Keep it up!

[nomoresorrow1216]

u look kinda like fred and george from harry potter

[gkc25]

I like how you wear your headphones over your beanie :)

[MrJaackHughes]

What kit is this?? Amazing fills by the way (and cool tattoo ;)!!!!)

[BikkiBlazes]

@MrJaackHughes Hi , Just answered your question its a DTXpress 4 , somebody else asked it also.. also, its good to learn drum tuning early so your fast at it. Acoustic > electronic.

[sergiulini]

you're cool man. :))

[Ihamdrumm3r]

Yep this is actually right. It's how I play the song so I'm glad I'm doing it right. Lol

[royalmailspoofs]

wht type of kit is that ?

[BikkiBlazes]

@royalmailspoofs Its a Yamaha DTXpress 4. I have #3 and its good stuff. I still say get a regular kit for a beginner because the give of the heads is easier on the wrists . Ya need your arms, save em for practicing. unless your landlord hates on instruments or that you absolutely MUST have it for electronica. Its a great start once you get a real nice acoustic kit since now you have a whole sampler kit; From 5 pc to 12 piece in one go

[MrCoolTre]

very good. one of the only people who knows how to play it right

[TotoGD]

IN SPANISH PLEASE!!

[Junkpunker21]

@TotoGD

All you have to do is fucking watch dude.

[jederguy98]

Great tutorial... I have that exact same kit, and my toms don't sound nearly that good, they sound like bongos. How'd you do it?

[bobertochuck]

howcome your drum kit is so weird

[Brounto]

Hi, I just got my first drum kit at x-mas and I was wondering, is it possible to play this with a normal 5 piece drum kit? if you could get back to me asap i'd love it thanks so much :)

[DrumsTheWord]

Hi @Brounto. Yeah, absolutely! The drum kit I use in the video is a five piece kit. If you have one tom less then simply move the tom notes you're missing to another tom instead. It's not like playing the guitar where people are going to notice the melody changing. That's what makes playing the drums so flexible. Enjoy your new drum kit!

[AlmostAlexFamousRyan]

@Brounto yes it is very possible on a 5 piece and if you have a ride a crash and a hihat your good

[Unit48i]

dude im new to drumming and you are the most helpful anyone could be. keep up the good work. You are awesome!

[Junkpunker21]

Lol look at his face as he happily moves about during the fill in 0:13

[niksakaful]

nice electric drums =/

[GillingerEscape]

Exactly what I was looking for! Great Song, great tutorial!

[Axelvs1994]

Do you record your drums with any microphones? Or do you just record the sound with speakers and a camera?

[DrumsTheWord]

Hi @Axelvs1994, I plug both my electric kit and clip on microphone directly into the camera using a small splitter. Hope this answers your question.

[Axelvs1994]

@DrumsTheWord Hm, I don't really understand

[andyhighnumber]

Just downloaded the full lesson from your site - it's really useful, thanks!

[DrumsTheWord]

Hey @andyhighnumber, it's great to hear you enjoyed the download! Thanks for letting me know you appreciated it. It's nice to get a little love back. Let me know if you have any further questions that I can help you with.

[STEVENonTHEdrums]

i like the sound of ur drums i wish mine sound like that but it doesn't bc i dont have an electric drum kit

[Keiran178]

I think you have the same sticks as me :D I feel like sucha pro!!

[DrumsTheWord]

@Keiran178 He he, they were great sticks! I must get some more...
