I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend. It doesn’t cost any more to buy from this store than it does from regular Amazon, but you’d be supporting this channel by doing so, which would be very much appreciated!:

Thanks for watching.

Always inspirational, and you make it feel that it’s all achievable too. Your kit sounds so crisp too.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Desmond, that's because it is! Cheers for watching and glad you dig.

[@user-iu6ry2jj3u]

I love how you explain the shuffle beat

[@weekendartist]

Hi. Started playing drums in Sept last year just before my 62nd birthday in November. Find your instructions great and broken down so that old buggers like me can understand. Not studied music before so everything from scratch. All a bit difficult now as suffered a stroke in December and still off work with what they call Functional Neurological Syndrome. My coordination leaves a lot to be desired but I am persevering with the drumming as I really enjoy it and am sure it will help in the long turn so gradually working through your videos albeit very slowly. You are keeping me going mate so thank you. Cheers

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Ah great! Cheers for watching Martin and glad you’re finding the stuff helpful! Cheers :)

[@evanpoole7829]

Loving the new series Mike! Refreshing to see an easier shuffle lesson. As great as Picaro shuffle and the lessons for them are, they’re dam difficult.

[@NanLander7854]

Sweet Mike. Sounds great and great explanation and demonstration. You are incredible! ❤️

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Nan! 🙏🏻👊🏻

I noticed in your videos that your kits have changed over the years. What are you currently using? I have an Alesis Command as have to have electronic however not sure if they are as responsive as they could be so may look to be changing in near future. Cheers

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

For acoustic kit, earlier videos I’m playing a Yamaha Recording Custom from the 1980s. In more recent videos I’m playing a beautiful custom-made kit from The Cambridge Drum Company. When I’m away from the studio, like in the current lockdown, I’m playing my electronic kit as home (as in this video). Details as follows...
