What’s then difference if I just make the first part r l r l instead of rrll

Thank you, perfect technique!

Freeway of Love brought me here.

I never get fed up playing this song.. wonderful test and feel..

@MikeBarnesDrums Sorry for the disturbance again, but is it possible to give the exam with a electric drumset. Btw love your vids keep it up!

Thanks very much!

I wish I can play like you,I have reach my limit

I am turning 64 soon and have bought a cheap electronic kit. I had a kit when I was 14 but never learned to play it. Now I am trying for real late in life LOL. And this is a challenge! However, it is also one of the most common guitar strum patterns for a lot of music. I play guitar so I can hear the rhythm fairly easy. But man playing it on drums is a challenge! But I am going to get it if it takes me till I am 70!!!! Thanks for your great teaching style!

Thank You So Much Mike! This has helped me unlock new techniques and i improved a lot using the bassdrum. Your always so proactive and happy when you are teaching. Thanks! 😀

Is two crashes compulsory for this song?

Hey mike! Whats the name of this electric drum set

Do you know where I can get the sheet music for what you are playing please?🙏

Yo Mike you're looking jacked!

Hi, I've been wondering how long one should dedicate to pass a grade and how long is a good amount of time, about 2 years ago I was just finishing grade 3 and I am now about 40% through grade 8 is this good progress?

Im currently in grade 6 and this is the most boring one im studying but i could get tricky when you dont focus because you feel like you automatically know it.

i need to find songs with that exact drum pattern but i don’t know exactly how to search it, help me please. ive only found the songs black velvet by alannah myles, the way you make me feel by michael jackson, everybody wants to rule the world by tears for fears, knock on wood by amii stewart and morning train by sheena easton

This is great! Thank you!

Brilliant Mike, love your videos!!!!

Mate! I need your help, as said in the website we need to prepare 3 songs. Can I give a online exam ?.. I am all the way in India it would be impossible for me to fly to london very soon.

Excellent video Mike. Is the hi hat played on the accented notes when your playing the sextuplet?

I love your videos, thank you very much for teaching us how to play drums. How difficult is this song? What would you say is the most difficult part (Is it the guitar solo, the 16th notes on the high hat)?

@MikeBarnesDrums Simply stellar teaching skills. Love your vids m8.

Thanks so much for the information that you are sharing.

Do you have a cowbell

spot on and straight to the point

Reminds me of The Cure "So close to me" Love it Mike

Thanks for breaking that down. You explained it well.

My teacher challenged me to teach myself 3 songs from the Grade 5 syllabus over the summer holidays (at an exam-ready level) so we could jump to Grade 6 when we get back in September, and your videos are helping so much! Thank you :)

Nice

Really grateful, Brother Mike.

I don't know why it's in quotations. In a thousand years they'll still be calling it the Purdie shuffle

Ah, Moonie! Really nice rendition!

Hey great lesson I forgot all about this one. I saw I believe it was your video but In a groove. I’ll get back on this one.

Thanks good tip, any advice on stopping my thumb creeping up the stick as I play this, or does it just come with time

Cool drumming

Great! Love these drum fill vids Mike

You're lovely thank you

Very cool!

Super helpful!

Hey, I know this is an old video but I'm hoping you can help. At the end of page one (around bar 30 i think) there is a 2 bar repeat. Why is the crash not included in this repeat? I've noticed that nobody plays it and not sure if I'm supposed to in my exam. Thanks!

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 0:40

Very strange: I'm able to play fills like this one intuitively, but when I put my mind to it, I'm likely to mess it up! 😅

You earned another subscriber good sir.

Sick! You should enter the iRock Drum Contest!

Hi Mike thank you for your help. I started playing the drums at 59 and now I'm 60 but hard for me because I just have 30% hearing in my right ear. I learned so much from you

Excellent Mike. My Band cover this. My attempts to give an "essence of Moon" pale into insignificance compared to this. But I'll certainly take some things from this 😊👍
