[@mattiasborgh7391]

”You’ll get fired and bla bla bla…” 🤣👍🏻🥇 Great groove, keep it up Mike! 🔥🥁

[@MonzonMedia]

YES! I've been waiting for a revamp of this!!! 10 years later, still trying to learn it properly! hahaha! Love it MJ! Glad to hear you’re ok, covid ran through my family as well but all is good!

[@mikeslessons]

This one take less movement which is good because I'm a thousand years old now, LOL! Glad to hear that fam is all good. - Mike J

[@mr9246m]

Biscuits & buttercups!!!!! Love it.....

[@jkrohmer60]

Thanks Mike. Another good trick for the toolbox. 90% of what I play in a band is pure pocket. I've improved the variety of my short fills from watching your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@dmcgwhisper5945]

Wonderful!

[@lmp9726]

EXCELLENT! Thank you for posting, and reminding everyone about joy!

[@kostyarik9628]

Огромное удовольствие получил от этого урока. Пришлось поработать но смог собрать, закольцевать, и в темпе 40bpm расслабился и почувствовать пульсацию и грув. Даже закачал головой. Спасибо Mike, я уже столькому научился у Вас. Благодарю.

The first pepamint groove was the first thing i ever learned on drums ! Took me like 2 months in like 2013, love the nostalgia

[@davidlaidlaw7538]

From one educator to another, I love your guided approach Mike!

[@larrylar2112]

the first time I saw the 'underneath LH HH' was Frank Katz, Drummers Collective, 1996! the head exploded..

[@lourdkristondanleyaragon808]

ooohh guacamoli salad I really love that groove since I saw the first lesson when I was in High school. glad to see this today . shugadapup 😆

[@FelixDeluna]

It's fun to see the difference between ten years ago Mike and Mike now. Such a change in tone, velocity, even feel. It was great then, it's out of this world now.

[@mikeslessons]

Awe Felix... THANK YOU! That really means a lot.

[@tommajewski4674]

I'm having a TON of fun learning this groove, thank you for this gift. Also....Jason Schmekenmyer xD

[@IvanGarcia-mz9xr]

Thank you so much for doing these amazong videos. I personally learn so much about them🤘🏻

[@mitchdrummin3]

New vid? Woohoo!!! Thanks for the little pepamint.

[@Matthew_Campbell_Drums]

10 years later and Mike is still handing out a peppamint to the kids. I remember practicing the first video so much and driving my band mates crazy. This makes me want to dust off the old kit and get back into it again.

[@AdenugaAdedayoDavid]

This is great Mr Mike!! You are a huge source of motivation to me

[@mikeslessons]

That means a lot to me Adenuga... and thanks for being the FIRST comment :)

[@arthureakin1192]

Behind the kit now!! ITS AMAZING!! The cymbal bacon on the ride REALLY adds to it as well

[@mikeslessons]

YES SIR! Have a blast with it Arthur :) - Mike J

[@pentzzsolt]

So good! Thank you Mike for sharing and the work you put into these videos for the community!

[@jimrusso1988]

Coming up on my 62nd birthday and MJ turns me into a kid that likes spicy pepamint! Awesome stuff, Mike!

[@InSyncDrums]

Thanks for this Mike!

[@stusummersmusic]

Really enjoyed seeing you at the UK Drum Show! I hope you come back again.

[@idigress1159]

its an awesome take on the steve gadd 32nd note shuffle!

[@philruddgarcia2857]

Awesome!

[@babyjesuslovesme1219]

[@AirwavesEnglish]

WooHoo! Best teacher ever! It always makes me so happy to hear your reasoning behind things and the way you explain them with such passion. This one's going to keep me busy for months! Haha, thanks, Mike. :)

[@fernandadrums]

I absolutely love it! 😍 Thanks Dear for always motivate us to keep on practicing!!!

[@mikeslessons]

Awe Fer, MUCH appreciated my friend. Enjoy the practice time - Mike J

[@SleepyMusicOfficial]

Classy playin', classy teachin'. Like always Mr. Mike! :D

[@NathanielLeong]

oh shiiiiiiiiiiiit it's back after sooo many yearssss

[@alibaba9971]

Cool

[@aristotle5698]

Has anyone noticed how much Mike has changed as a player? Like seeing him play the first iteration of this groove was so bananas compared to his style today. Bravo!

[@mikeslessons]

Thanks for noticing the evolution. Still, very much a work in progress to get to where I want to be, but it's nice to hear for sure 🍵🍵🙏🙏🍵🍵

[@aristotle5698]

@@mikeslessons enjoy your matcha man, and keep up the amazing stuff!

[@mikeslessons]

@@aristotle5698 Will do my friend! Thanks again 🍵🍵

[@johnkavaudio4695]

Thanks Mike, awesome lesson and sentiment (yep, joy!) I can also see this in a breakdown of a live gig, where the band and crowd want to see some “pizazz” and entertainment 👏🏻👏🏻🤩 without it being the predictable “drum solo” bit that 99% of the audience don’t really care about 😁

[@dr.layman1623]

I think this would fit perfectly as a transition from an up-tempo groove. Instead of playing the same thing on 2&4 of the rhythm, end with a roundhouse fill while the band changes key or whatever they are do (while we work the real magik)...

[@BlurredTrees]

I think you can take sections of that and really make awesome songs with it. Sick groove. Even the whole thing on repeat with some spicy guitar. 👌🏻

[@PeartDisicple481]

I like it

[@PeartDisicple481]

Been watching you for a long time this linear drum playing something It’s something I’m trying to tackle. Q : I buy sticks and when i go to use them One of them is not straight. Is there a reason for this. I am glad you survived COVID-19. Will be working on the peppermint.

[@ak-zw8jv]

Grooves like this are also practical when someone hears you play drums and is like cool can you play for me???

[@ARGBlackCloud]

Oh thanks now I've got more stuff to work on !!! Lmao

[@malkieldrums]

The rest of the groove apart the the first 8th note, looks like one video that you uploaded "That instagram groove" .Love it.

[@mikeslessons]

They're all the same. Just some singles, doubles, and a pinch of spice :)

[@malkieldrums]

@@mikeslessons Yeah that's it. The spice 😋

[@13TeK11]

wait...10 YEARS?!?!?! where did the time go?!

[@DrumNut927]

Hey, Doe Schmeckenmeyer know you're calling him out? 😅

You might be the first person ever to spell it right! Well done :)
