Black Betty Drum Tutorial - Ram Jam

This drum tutorial breaks down the parts to Black Betty by Ram Jam. There are lots of fun (and challenging) chops in this song, and I've done my best to break it down as close to the song as possible. Use this lesson to practice all the parts and have fun jamming along to this song! Enjoy!

At my high school there’s something called musicfest for the last day of the year where a bunch of bands play songs. Learned to play this one from you and the kids loved it. Thanks!

[@TheBushcraftonline]

Great Job! Thanks so much for explain this classic piece of rock music!

[@zerowat_3191]

Thank you so much, such a great and fun song to play on the drums

[@gavinparsons5150]

Awesome job 👍

[@ce7d381abd3e]

Hey man, I really like this channel, I think that you’re doing a great job for drums community but I wonder why you don’t upload the drum sheet? The hardest part which I believe is to break trough and explain the whole song you already did, so...why not upload the sheet that you already wrote? will be very helpful

What sticks are those?

[@LearnSomeDrums]

Vic Firth 2B wood tip - I went to heavy sticks for practice pad practice but then never looked back!

[@kapetanios5493]

@@LearnSomeDrums Ohh, why did u decide to make the switch permanent? Im Currently contemplating between a short taper stick or just beefier

[@LearnSomeDrums]

I felt like I was getting better control with more stick in my hand, and also they last longer too which is a plus! I reckon the Thomas Lang signature stick is great for beefiness or the Steve Gadd signature stick is really short which feels faster to me.

[@mr.dankpepe746]

I deserve so many more subs mane

[@Hollyweirdification]

I almost disliked this video, because of the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ad!!!! Disgusting!!!! However you get a thumbs up for being a kick ass drummer!!!! EDITED: Jesus 2 ads for Biden and Harris!!! God save us!!!!

[@LearnSomeDrums]

Man it’d be nice if I could choose the ads, no one needs politics in a drum tutorial.
