"American Idiot" How To Play Drum Beat (Green Day) - Drum Lesson

[Skatetutorial7]

from england?

[DrumsTheWord]

@Skatetutorial7 Yes :)

[Fozdrummer]

I thought the "little roll" at the end of the first bar was on the high tom ("and" on the floor tom but "a" on the high) and beat 4 of the second bar was snare and crash rather than open high hat. It doesn't sound much different to be honest but the sticking feels more natural to me. works either way. Good stuff.

[DrumsTheWord]

@maggotsk8r1 I'm sorry, you must have confused me with a charity. Lol, jokes ;)

[MsAxekiller]

but weres the rest of the song? plz tumbs up so he can see

[missdouchebag100]

@MsAxekiller no thumbs up for you! How's he meant to earn a living? Each song is only a few quid from his website or buy the Mega DrumMasters pack which has hundreds of songs - its superb value as the lessons can last up to 45 minutes to describe each and every note of the song.

This really helped me thanks alot, could you do fluorescent adolescent by the arctic monkeys next please

[iwatchvideosbecause]

This really helps with my drumming and I can do the beat really fast but sometimes I can't or forgot how to do the bass drum part and I tried watching the video alot but It seems that I can't remember how to do the bass drum parts can you give me tips?

[DrumsTheWord]

@iwatchvideosbecause Your "Drum Memory" hasn't developed yet. Over years you get better and better at hearing a drum beat and memorising it, just like practising a new language. Don't beat yourself up over the occasional bass drum miss hit, it's not the end of the world. Keep practising and over time this will become easier for you. Hope that helps! Rob:)

[iwatchvideosbecause]

@DrumsTheWord Thanks!

[purejame101]

You look like a young version of John L.

[Domhazeproduction]

you look totally different from the holiday video.

[oooMFGooo]

use the translator XD

[DrumsTheWord]

@oooMFGooo What do you mean? Thanks. Rob

[oooMFGooo]

@DrumsTheWord the Youtube translator is terrible and so the results of the translation of what you say is completley wrong. I find the translation amusing.

[DrumsTheWord]

@oooMFGooo Oh, that's a shame. Hopefully you got the main bits from my video though. Happy drumming!

[oooMFGooo]

@DrumsTheWord Oh no i had no problem understanding you i have decent English i just put it on for fun and awsome lesson btw :D

[magicalboy9]
