Yes, this helped me a lot! Thx for uploading

I believe it's also known as a 4/4 common rock beat?

[@some_guy441]

The fireball in the background is a staple in the drummers' community.

[@deadpool102192]

I don’t get it, fireball tast like and is weak as shit

[@golduckroger]

just like my left foot 🥲@@deadpool102192

[@eggysauce]

@@deadpool102192 Samus gauged how many shots of Fireball he can have before he can't play Painkiller. 22 shots.

I'm not much of an alcohol guy so fireball is all I drink if I'm drinking lmao. Beer tastes like ass, vodka and tequila taste like ass, fireball tastes bad but everything else tastes like shit 🤣

[@akaredcrossbow]

I’m 51 never played the drums in my life, but always wanted to. He makes me want to play more and more. He is a great teacher. I’m going to buy one of the cheap electric kits and DO IT!

You are an EXCELLENT teacher

Dude that snare reverb is sick AF! It reminds me of the reverb in No excuses by AIC✊️

[@FourPawsInTheGrave]

Exactly what I was thinking!!!

[@dannyledrums4116]

Yeah that snare sound is amazing

[@McBernes]

This is the first time I've heard 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 notes explained in a way that makes sense to me. I recently found a small tom tom at goodwill, and i bought a snare from Ye Olde Amazon. I've been practicing paradiddles, then got side tracked when I heard some guest musicians come to my school and play djembes and tubanos. I put the drums aside for a bit to play around with some hand drums....I really have a focus problem. But anywho, thank you for helping me get this sorted in my head!

[@aapomakitalo.3545]

Im a drummer. You have inspired me to learn so many new thing. Thank you Samus❤

[@MrJayArt]

I already know how to play the drums but I’m watching anyways.

[@rl9808]

I learned the beats from the carmine appice book in the early 80’s. I met him at his clinic in 85.

[@shaggy7927]

this reminds of the time when I played drums at school, I kept messing up. I kept hit the bass drum at the same time as someone was hitting the snare, believe it or not, my teacher kept calling me out in of the whole class... lol

[@hillarycourchaine6829]

Hi Samus, I absolutely love your videos and your channel I've been subscribed to your channel for four years now soon to be five years. The same goes for me being a drummer as well. As always keep grooving my dude, oh yuuuur 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@66Samus]

thank you so much Hillary!!!

[@countlordshaun1331]

Okay, but what about the 7 Eggs? You only mentioned them once in the whole tutorial. I went and got 7 eggs, but I don't know what to do with them.

[@RobinTregaskis]

Thanks Samus for getting me back to playing my kit.

[@JailDoctor1]

Thanks. I really enjoyed that. Player since 67

[@ben_shaw_]

You explain this so clearly Samus, I only wish I had a drum kit to try it out on!!

[@N0isyneighboR]

Did you say seven eggs?😂 Ohyurr

[@AstonsVintageTechnologyWorkshp]

To be honest, I have the dexterity of a ham sandwich, on fire. I'd love to be able to play the drums however I would undoubtedly sound something along the lines of someone falling down a flight of stairs, carrying approximately 100 rubber dog turds. I applaud anybody who manages to successfully play the drums, go forth fine fellows and make wonderful music. 😀

[@HPLovethrash]

I loved my drum teacher in the late 90s but imagine being young again now and learning from Samus 😅

[@catmobile20]

I’ve been drumming for about a year but I still like to watch these types of videos to see if there is anything else I should learn.👍

[@doncarnage6644]

Great video! Can you make an easy guide on how to make snare and tom fills? An advanced version would be cool too. Thanks and keep up the good work! 🤘

[@koryhill271]

I've been playing music since I was 14. Hearing 1-e-&-a still cracks me up a little bit even after 16 years, lol

[@Uncle_Roadkill]

Not anyone, Samus. I can't, for I don't have any drums. My whole percussion section are my farts. Guess I'm a bahee.

[@TheRealGanonKirby]

"..if you're rushin' or dragin'.." I understood that reference

[@ronnyjohnston6039]

(Required amount of Fireball consumed while learning drums may vary, drink responsibly.) As a drum instructor out here in the trenches, thanks for including notation and, most importantly, counting! I've done the research in lessons, everyone who counts has a higher success rate.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I’ll always enjoy the jokey content he does but the educational/instructional stuff is just as great, definitely helpful to a lot of people

[@LukeFennell]

i had a resaultion. just started 4 weeks ago. i can do a paradiddle now... lol learning enter sandman. i want to do master of pupets but it's too fast.

[@travisvreeland4504]

Live. Awesome. You know it sounds like Michael jacksons beat it.

[@mrmisfit635]

MJ uses 8th note hihat pattern, not quarters.

[@lobbyrobby]

I knew drums would be hard but now that I gotta learn how to count all the way to 4 I'm giving up.

[@demon-goat]

you can play in 2/4 time and you’re set

[@dumbruv_]

eggs

[@mitchsterling3266]

Thank you. My friend plays drums. This sounds really good immediately. I wish this was around when I was obsessing over bands. I learned guitar back then but this looks just as fun.

How about a "one and what the, two and what the, three and what the" for the 16ths? Lol

[@FallingDrop234]

This brought me back to middle school band, so simple and yet so beautiful.

[@Ilhotas]

the first dream beat in the video was the first thing I learned taking drum classes, at the beginning I couldn't even mantain the time

[@bryanbassdrums]

LOL I love the fireball bottle

[@rockapartyjd]

Because of you and II I'm goin to learn the drums at 46

[@rockapartyjd]

I feel like raising triplets is easier than playing them as a beginner ughhhhh

[@nicolajones3643]

I’m 62 and I really wanna learn….😮😊🥁

[@talmidscott]

You could have also titled this video growing up in the church and playing in a worship band...

[@talmidscott]

It's so vanilla you don't even have to worry about accents or fills...

[@でーすけ-j2z]

This time it was a beginner's version, but intermediate level Please release video content for advanced users in the future. I don't mind the practice you've done to be as good as you are

[@HammeredReactions]

Sex is six in Swedish actually lol

[@shanewoolsey940]

I really like this channel. I tap in everyday before I got to work, puts a smile on my face and I learn something too. I just want to share something with everyone. Trilok Gurtu - John McLaughlin - Kai Eckhardt Karpeh (1989) Yes, he's sitting on the floor.

[@magatamass]

First, let's talk about the immaculate sound of that snare

[@flora8077]

I'm a Boomer lady trying to learn the drums 😵 and need Sam STAT to help me with my lessons. Love ya' big guy.

[@piotrtomaszewski1086]

fire ball in the back :P

[@reubenk7331]

Great intro video! The Melodics program looks pretty fun too! All of these are definitely wonderful beginner beats 🙂

[@lefthandcrust]

As someone that knows what eight notes are, it never occurred to me they can just be counted to 8 instead of using "&"'s lolololol

[@PriceTagAquariums]

Is it hard to go back to playing slow when you're used to playing fast with blast beats?! Lol

[@jraffxx]

That hi-hat sounds soo damn sweet

[@joshnizzle]

I played drums a little bit. I’m definitely an extreme newbie. But for me, I have a hard time trying to play and count. Not for the simple beats like this but harder beats playing while counting is nearly impossible for me much better if I just play by ear/ feel the groove and I can stay in time better. Is that weird or is it because I played guitar for 25 years? And learned to play that myself by ear lol.

[@themysteriousoa4466]

I want to see if you can do this on a practice pad: ⤵️ First play 16th Notes at 100BPM. Then play: Right Left Right. Right Left Right Right RightLeft. *Repeat* *Group of Three:* For this one, call in two fellow drummers, and the three of you can practice this on three practice pads. And now speed up the BPM 132BPM Left and Right drummers Mirror each other. Right Left Both. *Hit middle pad for both with both sticks* Right Left, Right Left. *Right Left drummer hits middle pad with their drumsticks individually on “Right Left”* *Repeat* Middle: Right Left Arms Up. Right Left, Right Left. *Repeat for 28 seconds* Finale: Left and Right hits both their drums and the middle drum three times. And the middle drummer hit his/her pad three times. On the last hit, all three drummers raise both arms up. Once you got this down, you can replace the practice pads with three 16” Floor Toms.

[@talmidscott]

Dude, I love you. I fucking love your drumeo reaction videos. You're awesome. Love you, dude.

[@pkj77]

another bit of topic just saw this search KZbin Process of Making Drum Set From Used Goods

[@deathdrummer1000]

Beginner drum videos OH YEEEEEEEER

[@berimbassfiddle4903]

Nice job you do on your channel, I'm not a drummer but thx for them... Btw an idea for your reactings to the differents playings: what about reacting to Christian Vander drummer of Magma, in France? That "intergalactic-opera-jazz-rock" band exists since the 70s and is now loved by lots of technical metal nerds, you can find so much solos and concerts of them on YT to make you an idea (if not already the case). But maybe this one is quite representative of his work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ2tfH6qnNeYp9k :)

[@jamiebrinks1490]

All I can hear in your snare drum is "No Excuses" by AiC..... so I keep waiting for the complexity to start

[@abzer0gaming]

I didn't have any lessons when I had my drum set and the first was super easy for me to pick up and picking up the double time on the high hat came just as quickly.

[@renamewhy]

Hi, i started drumming around year ago and still dont have drum set (i played on buckets and finger drumming) do you think i can play metal on set witb 3 toms, 1 snare, 1 kick and 3 cymbals? (Alesis kit) or is there any cheap e-kits for metal?

[@piotrkornacki6410]

unfortunatly I have a gear4music drum set so i couldn't do it ]:

[@CaloBrown]

I use these beats a majority of the time and the best part about them is the versatility with these beats. You can easily make up your own fills, add extra notes to the beat, or if your feeling really saucy, add paradiddles to the disco flipped beat. I tell anyone looking to learn drums to master these beats first, as they are great openers to learning more advanced riffs, one must learn to walk before he can fly. 👍

[@jimg6743]

Which alsis kit would you consider is the best for advanced drummers that need to play quietly because of neighbors? thanks

[@beans8130]

Dude you ever checked out drummer in Frail Body? He's awesome

[@lucyferina]

I could never count and actually keep what I was playing accurate, I somehow always been able to NOT count but get the beats correct without it.

[@swivelken248chan6]

2:22, fast version of this simple drumming can become a polka beat. At least in 4x speed of that beat

[@DavelyDriven]

Fireball helps the meter

[@alexjenkins12]

But how do i skip straight to 280bpm blast beats???

[@EviLSiLenZ]

you remind me of that juniper bush guy from monty pythons life of brian 😂
