Car Radio Drum Tutorial - Twenty One Pilots

This drum tutorial is for Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots. Nothing super tricky in here except the unusual hi-hat pattern in the verses. This lesson breaks it all down though so you can practice it up and play along to the song!

I understood everything until about halfway through, I wish you would've slowed those parts down as well. I can't see what you're doing properly. Otherwise, this is extremely helpful

[@LearnSomeDrums]

+ChaosMistake I do get carried away sometimes haha. Pause the vid at the transcription and try to work it out from there maybe? Was it the crashes but?

[@appeartoseefear898]

+LearnSomeDrums haha it's fine. I paused it a couple times with the crashes part at the end, which helped a lot. But about 1:43ish is where I can't really fully get a grip on what you're doing :P

[@Z3Rocker77]

It's literally just an off beat hi hat pattern, and just quarter notes. very simple. Beats 1 and 2 are snare and kick together, the &'s are an open hi hat. It's exactly the same as the beginning of thier song "Guns for Hands"

[@phoebebrody6936]

Yeah I get lost without a walk through that's slooooow

[@Anxiety_Asylum]

YES ! Please keep the twenty one pilots tutorials! They're super amazing and easy to follow! You're an amazing teacher! You are a great help to my band!!! Please keep the twenty one pilots videos coming man! I subbed and liked!!!

[@ldrums]

Glad I could help!

[@IrishDancer961]

Thanks this was really helpful!

[@Vic-kz6ds]

Can you please do the run and go from twenty one pilots please? :)

[@libbyw5942]

Really helpful thanks :) I started drumming 2 weeks ago and this helped me learn all of it but i can never do the bit at 01:48 . I dont know why, i just rlly struggle with it lol

[@idkhow]

i struggled with that at first but once i slowed it down (like EXTREMELY slow) and worked through each movement and got that clean i started to speed it up and now its my favorite type of beat to play

[@awesomesauce3951]

This video is amazing, we have to do solos for music class so I chose to do car radio, and this video has helped sooooooooo much, I can't thank you enough, but my teacher told us today that apparently she wants printed sheet music to follow while we play, is there any chance you could link to a PDF of the sheet music? It would be incredibly helpful

[@harishyqchy]

There is one on his website

[@vicenterosson]

[@bowenzhang6792]

[@evaristoregalado8954]

You should do the live version of car radio

[@DONKOPP55]

Bro it would be really realllllyyyyyy cool if you could also do a tutorial of the live version of car radio because Josh plays it differently when they r live, and I have been trying to slow it down to see if I can match the beat but it is wayyy too hard

[@aurelie3891]

[@johnvega899]

The high hat part is really easy but I use one hand so it can be easier for me

[@kstewart3602]

Please do heavydirtysoul or Lane Boy by twenty one pilots

[@molliebennett1839]

I was wondering what crash cymbal do you use? Also, do you have any tips on how to reduce the snare buzz noise when playing the toms?

[@LearnSomeDrums]

+The Lost Drummer The 16" HHX evolution is my favourite crash so it'll be that one for sure! In terms of snare buzz, keep your bottom head tight and also your snare wires fairly tight. Then muck around with the top head tuning because usually the buzz is just the resonant frequency from one of your other drums setting off the snare wires. Changing up the tuning should change up the point at which your snares buzz. Hopefully that does the trick!

[@molliebennett1839]

LearnSomeDrums Thank you so much!

Can you do house of gold

[@jasondelaguila8461]

Maybe someone said this already, but when you play it slow, you play it differently than when you play it fast. When you are talking about the "sizzle" part and you do it slow, you have the hi hat open when the left hand strikes. When you play it fast, the hi hat is open on a right hand strike. It's a bit confusing. I couldn't get what I wanted from the slow part but could hear it and play it from the second part. The fast part. Just something I noticed.

[@haydensglowingeyes5545]

could i ask something about that part?I can't understand if you are trying to say that I need to move my left foot with my right one or I have to move first my right foot and then my left one (sorry for my bad English but I'm Italian hahaha)

[@jasondelaguila8461]

Karma the beat is sort of separated by the kick and snare. I don’t know music but this is how I think of it: “K” will represent the kick drum (right foot). R and L represent the hand patterns. K RLRL(hi hat), R(snare), LRLR(hi hat), K RLRL(hi hat), R(snare), LRLr(hi hat). The little “r” at the end is when you lift your left foot to open the hi hat. That’s the “sizzle” part. To answer your question: the sizzle is when you lift your left foot and strike with your right hand on the hi hat. Your English is good by the way. Unless I totally missed your point. Good luck.

[@haydensglowingeyes5545]

Thank you so much,you were very helpful!I had some problems for that part,but then it came out to be very easy hahahaha.

[@luisrangel8460]

5sos voodoo doll tutorial, please

[@kwilly3]

I'm a bit confused on the dance groove cause I would have liked to have seen your foot on the high hat so I could know what to do with it..

[@kwilly3]

And how the snare is supposed to come in

[@LearnSomeDrums]

If you bring your hi hat foot down with your kick drum foot, then it should be "up" or sizzling on the "and" of the beat which is where you want it. Try playing all 8th notes with your right hand on the hats and only sizzling every second one for practice.

[@charliewehde7561]

Do you have to do the sizzle on the 2nd bar, last hi hat?. I am a starting drummer and I find it very tricky. If it doesn't sound as good, any tips for doing this?

[@AlecNathan]

[@fandomfreaks1015]

Could you do a tutorial on a song by my chemical romance?

[@dancedancedance9107]

can you do brazil by declan mckenna?

[@stoweaway8761]

Alright, i am not getting that dance-break part (Where Tyler is doing all of the 'woahs' and the crash cymbal is used). Can someone please tell me which drum corresponds to which note on the cleff? Maybe I could get it then...

[@LearnSomeDrums]

+Stowe Away Notes in the bottom space are kick drum, notes third space up are snare drum and X on top is Hi Hats, crash is the X above that! Hope that helps!

[@disjoky2001]

Can you show Live is Life by upus

[@MrBrightsideOfficial]

What should I set my metronome at

[@ipwnzyanoobz]

can you play the hihat intro with the kick added?

[@piperclarke3046]

Can u play the go by the 1975

[@restraingamer6802]

Do twenty one pilots i want to know

[@gorogueadventures9968]

Do a car a torch a death please p,ease

[@ifreckz6387]

What are those pieces of tape on your snare doing?

[@LearnSomeDrums]

+QuantumParadoxx Just hanging out haha They take the overtones out of the drum so it doesn't ring as much. I fold them over so that there's more weight but not too much surface area if that makes sense. Moon gel or O-rings do a similar job so experiment and see what sound you like!

[@Kuso319]

he looks so uncomfortable in these videos but of course its for a purpose lmao, like showing technique rather than being flashy, i get it lmao

[@motionless_horizon]

I understood until about half way through. I really wish you would’ve slowed those parts down.

[@twilight420]

You should like slow down at first for some of the other parts

[@mickeymusic6749]

Is it good that I can play the highat part with one hand?

[@LearnSomeDrums]

+LeCaptainSmallz For sure! Whatever works for you. I always find there's a little difference in the sound playing with one hand vs two hands but either way is cool!

[@mickeymusic6749]

Also, is it worth it to get ahead sticks? Ik you dont usually play heavier stuff from your videos but I play a mixture of lighter fast beats and hard hitting heavy beats.

[@LearnSomeDrums]

Yeah it depends. I have a set of Ahead sticks that I never use because I prefer the feel of wood and at the moment I'm using 2Bs so I get a lot of mileage out of each set. If you break your sticks a lot maybe Aheads are worth considering, but they definitely feel a bit different in the hands.

[@mickeymusic6749]

Nice also Im having trouble with making up my own fills. Any tips?

[@agustinbatalla9395]

shuld be much easy to understeand if you don't try say what part of the song is, and you just put the part of the song on the vidieo when you are playing

[@agustinbatalla9395]

PD: Srry for the bad translate, English is not my native language

[@LearnSomeDrums]

+agustin batalla I understand! But if I use the music from the band my video will get flagged for copyright. Plus it's good practice for your ears 😊

[@agustinbatalla9395]

LearnSomeDrums ohhh, they can flag a video tutorial? dam! you tube has gone too far :/

[@nicodavila190]

The part after the fill I can’t learn because you went to fast

[@LearnSomeDrums]

Sorry! Slow me down with KZbin’s 0.75 speed playback maybe?

[@nicodavila190]

LearnSomeDrums Oh thanks it helped better!

[@rileyappel7780]

He was to fast I didn't understand I only got the first half of the video then at the end he was way to fast and I got lost

[@LearnSomeDrums]

Watch it again! 😄 Use 0.75 speed if you need to. Believe me, I don’t work these songs out on the first time around!

[@imyourhuckleberry8069]

Oh. I just do the hi hat with one hand..

[@LearnSomeDrums]

+Char. x Yep totally valid, I just feel like one hand and two hands have a slightly different sound so I try to get as close as I can to the right sound!

[@imyourhuckleberry8069]

LearnSomeDrums well, that and also Josh Dun (the drummer) plays with one hand too...but I just looked at him and then figured it out on my own.

[@ericmarinho2673]

U don't play it right plus u need 6pc drums

[@LearnSomeDrums]

+eric marinho whereabouts? I haven't seen Josh use big kits, but maybe he does in the studio - I haven't checked that out...

[@cryptozex9192]

eric marinho Josh doesn’t use a 6pc. He used a 4 piece for this song

[@gdchromatiq1794]

Why am I watching this I have no interest in playing this

[@charliewehde7561]

Do you have to do the sizzle on the 2nd bar, last hi hat?. I am a starting drummer and I find it very tricky. If it doesn't sound as good, any tips for doing this?

[@LearnSomeDrums]

You can leave it out if you want, but definitely try working up to it. Practice playing 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and on the hi hats and bringing your left foot down on 1 2 3 4, that should help you get sizzles on the "and". Once you're comfortable (maybe after a week?) add in the bass drum and the rest.

[@charliewehde7561]

LearnSomeDrums thank you for that. I am almost already to put it to the song!
