you had the same problem I used to have, after he lifts the hi hat in the groove, just keep going with the hi hat shuffle, dont add a pause after it, it gives it a stopped sound, fix that, then your good :)
dude i Really hate to critique you on your fine impression But, dont stop the beat on your hi hat right after you open/close the hi hat. Also when you go to the ride, dont forget to do the ghost notes. At the end he goes back to the hi hats too!
When you really pay attention to it, the open/closed hi-hat is played on the ah of 2 and is accented with the bass drum. In order to do this, you have to rest on 2. A lot of players will play the straight pattern through the open hi-hat and lose that accented beat. The tricky part is picking the pattern back up at the ah of 3.
my thumbs to you man!!! a great video! a great drum playing you played triplets really well man! and if I'm not mistaken this song from led where jeff porcaro copied right!! i like it 5star 4u!!!awesome!!!
Nice Job even with ad-lib fills during the calypso "dance" prior to the guitar solo. I would never knock anyone who added to Bohnam's riff...ever. Tremendous Job! I loved watching the cars blaze by on the interstate outside your window! Thanks!
well you do need some lessons i feel for 1) technique and 2) different music styles that your ipod or you might never play on you own. But i do agree, jamming to your ipod will teach you how to feel the beat. Good cover Millertimemonkey, now just find a band and learn to grove with other people.@ledamate
the drums in this song are awsome. i was listening to just the drums for it and u can easily here the song playing in ur head. idk if im making anysense
@PMOCAPALDI there's a dial on most radios that allows you to change the station thats playing, so what i usually do is put my finger on that dial and twist it to turn of the pop station, then i keep twisting it until a classic rock station comes up.
Excellent. You use tons of accent. Tons of ghost notes. All sorts of wonderful things going on here in this video. The left side of your body works well. Almost all drummers only really use the right side of their body. I have some 35,000 utube video views and you are maybe the best drummer, at least in the very top five or so, I have heard on utube. Excellent. Thank you, thank you very much.
during the samba part, the accents are on timbales it sounds like (Wampler) Really nice job man! Drums sound good too. I like the cowbell improve on the Samba. Thank yo for doing the shuffle and not just keeping eigth notes on the hi hat like I have seen lots of people do. That's what makes the groove. I hate when people do that!
I heard this song driving home from work and decided I wanted to see a drum cover. You were the first that came up. Nice job! Not being a drummer myself though, I have to ask... from like 3:50 to 3:53 it doesn't look like you are playing what Bonzo is playing. Is that all in the bass drums and I just can't see it?
Yep nice control and I totally understand the eyes closed approach! Awesome song - Love Jimmys lead break with the octave pedal going on -nice fat sound. Nice interpretation thru the latino bridge by the way.
why should he limit himself to one rack-tom? almost all prodrummers have a minimum of three toms if they only have one rack tom they usually have two floor toms
this sounds gay, but im really proud of you for choosing this song. I thought (from watching your other vids) you hd such amazing timing and accuracy that you should go for a more risky song, this is perfect. Gotta love that shuffle beat Purdie-Style, and you got the fills pretty much down.
oh man you did miss it at 3:50, and you were doing just great too! That happens to be my favorite fill of the entire song, I was looking forwart to hearing you play it after that wonderful shuffle you did! You need a Do over bro. Peace.
got an extra ghost note man

No, Bonham does not have any accents on the tom. All of the ghost notes and accents are on the snare.
