[DrummerMartijn]

Recently a Dutch drum magazine suggested you should count it in a regular 4/4 measure. My opinion: NO WAY! :)

[sirray]

finally broken down, correctly. do you have a detailed transscription of this, though?

[DrummerMartijn]

Thanx for the comment! I have indeed a transscription, but it's only a rough draft... I will try to make a decent version..... grz. M

Great Vid!

Any drummer who's ever heard this song has most likely always hoped someone would make a video break it down.

At least I know I did,

Thanks man!

[Dan070]

So I was trying this and I thought of a bit of advice for other people to try...

When you're playing this groove I doubt many of you will be counting those time signatures... it's more of a feeling... So if you're really struggling, get your bass drum in there first .. on its own. It's usually grouped in a very similar pattern of just two notes and that's where the accents are so get that down first..

Then it's just separated with some work in the hands.. Take it slow ;)

[TheAtomicLad1996]

OH JESUS. Seriously, the sickest Mars Volta drum vid on here.

[NathanJ807]

You can instead count this in 2 bar. 1 in 11/8 time siganture and another in 4/4 and then repeat.

[whoadude51]

i feel like this song is a lot easier if you break it down piece by piece, helps you develop a feel. thinking time signatures is confusing sometimes, you should just feel it

[armedwithturtles]

wtf

[Supoentje]

Idd. Next video do a speech of 20 minutes before you start to drum.

[DeLL116]

sick! and not to mention the accent is awesome....can you make a video and say, "John Maclean, you have twenty minutes take tear up New York City, but you must do it with an intelligent, yet extremely opinionated black man."

[petecarvalho]

you are freakin awesome for making this, and for beeing able to make this!!! :D

[thepactissealed]

wow great job man
