[@kellymichael86]

[@Simonfreediving]

What a teacher! Usually I don't even try to look at it but with your lesson you make it possible! Thank you!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

[@musicaetudo1]

Vinnie is a genius !!!!! Joe you are amazing drummer and teacher !!!!

[@nizza594]

Great Ear, Great Player, Great Teacher!! Keep up the good work Joe!

[@ScottDavisDrums]

Great teaching man, and I love that you use notation too. So many drummers today can't read sheet music, it's becoming a lost art.

[@sevenoaksdrumschool2475]

Wow.... great Vinnie lick and nice drumming Joe!

[@tdrum21]

Very cool fill and variations to work. I love the slowly decelerating fills like that!

[@twistedm16]

Very well explained an broken down. Very good teaching skills, it really helps a wider level of drummers understand what your saying. I just watched but ill have to watch again an take it to my drums it's a sweet fill I love vinnie

[@yougotgroove]

I really like the way you showed whats really going on ! Its not just a lick! There are musical ideas! Your not making this rudimental in thinking ! Very well done.... I can use this one Idea just as a grounds for starting a solo a nd just with the way you broke this down, there are several motives that can be repeated and mixed and expanded on! Thank You Joe! Teaching us ways to think!

[@daniel74arevalo]

You´re great Joe!

[@cobikman]

nice playing, good tecnique

[@peteryyz43]

Hi Joe..Thanks for this, great video as usual!. I love your Vinnie licks explained videos. Your 'Don't ask me' Nik Kershaw fill video being one of my faves. Talking of Vinnie licks: I would pay a king's ransom to see you do a video explanation of my favourite Vinnie lick: (I'm surprised you've not done it already..there's so many, I know;) It's from the Allan Holdsworth album 'Secrets' and it's the unreal drum intro to the track 'Spokes'.

[@FelipeV3444]

excelent... interesting how much you can learn from simple lick

[@rafaelferrer1]

hello pfefftube nice tu see yours lesson about vinnie playing, would be nice if you talk about the sound of the drums of vinnie ( like settings in the recording studio or something like, recording stuff in the studio. thanks

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@TheInfideldrummer Thanks :) You can see my methodology in the first part of the SoloWorkshop lesson in the MasterClass on my website

[@jeraldcuccurullo2497]

Excellent

[@joecrabtreedrums]

I don't know what laying the bass drum is. I have a few lessons on my website (see video description) on playing the bass drum (if that's what you meant).

[@MrJuan3259]

Gracias Joe, muchas gracias.

[@tdrum21]

Great one!

[@preciouslouse]

LFMAO with beat 2 and 3 :) Great lesson!

[@FrancescoPinetti]

Great Joe! Thx...

[@jpdrum69]

thankx Joe.great

[@beyondbetrayal]

Man. keep transcribing these awesome licks and solos.. This is great stuff. Subbed and will follow you on FB. I see you used to do this more than currently but these are the videos getting you the hits :).

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks :) There's lots of stuff on KZbin but my focus moved to the VIP lessons on my website www.joecrabtree.com/join a few years ago. That's where all the new stuff has been going.

[@ithacasz]

Excellent!

[@jts400hp]

Ahhh... I believe Remo has a model called "vintage" Ambassador and I wasn't sure if those were them or not... Regardless, great lesson and thx for the reply!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks :) I just searched for "spokes drum" on youtube and found a great explanation of that. All I'd be doing is stealing that.

[@JustifiedPwning]

Could you please do a lesson on laying the bass drum

[@Radner74]

Nice Joe! but it would be even better if you wrote out the sticking patterns over the notes.Keep rocking!

[@peteryyz43]

Cheers for the response Joe. My point was that I don't agree with the way the guy is playing it..I feel he's 'cracking a nut with a Sledgehammer'. I hear it as Vinnie playing the hi hat part with a splashed left foot?,some other people have pointed this out and I just wanted your take on it;) I think maybe I should make my own video of how I hear it eh?..;)) Keep up the great work Joe,It's so appreciated. I teach Drums as a peripatetic and your lessons inspire me in my lessons. Many thanks:)

[@mattmarkus4868]

Great stuff. Can you tell me what hi hats and crashes you're using here?

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Matt Markus looks like 14" master sound A custom hi hats, 18" k dark crash and 15" A custom crash. Zildjian

[@ivanandreev9289]

beautifull !!!!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

I posted this - (put the youtube bit in front) v=UIHG46Qr7SE. I reckon that's what's going on with the extra hihat at the end. I didn't have the tom mics on when I recorded it.

[@danznokaze]

Nice breakdown. I've listened to ur play repeated times, u need to adjust it more bit on the "paused" triplets on the 2nd bar. The feel was just slightly different with the original. The snare on the 2nd beat, feels like it is too rushy for me... :) But overall idea is already correct, thx...

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Check out the latest video I posted on tuning. That's pretty much all I've got :)

[@juanbarros3675]

I notate it and hear it in 32nd notes, 16th triplets, and 16th notes. instead of 16th, triplet, and 8th notes how it is written in this video

[@jts400hp]

I just love the way your drums sound Joe.. Are those Vintage Ambassadors?

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks. It depends what you mean by vintage. They're regular Ambassadors but they'd been on there a long time ;)

[@levih.2158]

Would be nice with a count in and maybe a metronome on the lick played fast, since the pulse is hard to discern

[@peteryyz43]

ps..You'd also be settling a running argument I have with a guy here on youtube who's made a video of his version of the 'Spokes' intro(check it out). I've been debating with him that Vinnie plays the hi-hat part with his foot splashed open during the fill,while he says it's played with a stick..please can you back me up on this one Joe?. I can't ask Vinnie himself!..so I'm asking you, because I know you have great ears and an awareness of musical nuance and detail . cheers:)

[@matheusferreira7229]

Your drums sounds sweet, man! Great job with the transcribing by the way. ;)

[@sergiovene1848]

COOl... thanks for music sheet on all vidéo.Merci

[@AlejandroTogo]

Nice Vid! What Evans on the snare? Cheerz

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks. I'm not sure. I think it might be a G2

[@canbrothersveysel6563]

👏🙏👏

[@aldykismool5136]

damn, its hard

[@notasilicaanimus]

Hi Joe, great playing and lesson as always. I've got another nice VC fill for you to try your hand at transcribing if it interests you, in a similar vein I believe; it starts at 1:45 in the following video: watch?v=m8sClOiYTN8. Cheers.

[@nordvegfigg7746]

I'm convinced that drummers are actually aliens. I'm a guitarist with fifty years experience. I can sight read music. And if you hand me any musical instrument, with a little time alone with it I can coax sounds out of it that won't cause people to run away in horror. But drums? Forget it. I've played with some very good drummers over the years, some who taught drumming as well as playing in bands. They tried their best with me, but no way could I ever get the hang of it. I can get hands going okay, but feet? Nope. It all falls apart when I try to combine feet and hands. Aliens. They're all aliens. 😁

[@avi44211]

I love you.....

[@juanbarros3675]

same thing though
