Fluorescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys (drum cover)

I'm back again - hope everyone is keeping well! Had a lot of fun with this song, one of my favorites. I've been working on accent patterns the last few weeks and enjoyed coming up with a couple of my own fills in this cover :D

[@wesleybrown3266]

this song was my introduction to arctic monkeys as a teen 😅 what a nice cover!

[@drumgirl]

this song takes me back to my teens as well :D thanks Wesley!

[@AlfredBarron]

Same! Nailed the song too, so tight!

[@drumgirl]

thanks@@AlfredBarron !

[@jlucasound]

Oh, Ya! You are getting really good! Keep up the good work! You can now (and could even before) proudly tell people you are an accomplished drummer! So Awesome! 🤩😍🥰🤗

[@drumgirl]

You are so sweet Luca!!! Thank you so much for your kind words

[@COLLIE_TOONZ]

One of my favorite Artic Monkeys songs of all time. I’ve been watching your drum covers for a few momths now and you have really motivated me to want to learn the drums!! Hope to see more soon!! 🤍✌️

[@drumgirl]

Hi Collie! Thanks for watching. It's one of my favorite songs by them, too. I hope you decide to learn how to play one day:)

[@IanBaker123]

Your smile as you drum is enough to make me want to start drumming !

[@drumgirl]

That is very sweet, thank you Ian!

[@nerychristian]

Nice! Sounds pretty clean. I never heard this song before. I like the hi hat groove.

[@drumgirl]

Thank you so much! I love the hi hat groove too :)

[@pannu679]

very clean

[@audreyc.4512]

WOW I am sooooo impressed by your commitment. Super cheering you on! I just started playing today! But I used to play in school so it has been a ton of years. Just wondering what your electric drum set brand is?

[@Gravitedious]

Insane amount of progress in only two years! Sounds great, keep going. Ive about given up on drums after so many years of it being my passion and this inspired me not to give up

[@drumgirl]

Thanks so much for your kind words, I’m glad you’re getting back at it!

[@elizabetha7753]

So amazing! Thank you for sharing!

I like the progress you make on the 🥁

[@sarahsoltis25]

Thank you so much for your effort and bravery to share while learning a new skill. I was hoping to DM you for some insight, but totally understand if that’s something you’ve disabled. I identify with your description of wanting to learn the drums but feeling the time had passed. You proved yourself and so many others wrong. Being able to access videos like this is so helpful to others. Thank you!

[@MikeMcRoberts]

Great job!

[@davidlikesdrums]

was just listening to this song, closed spotify and found your channel scrolled to latest song and this was it great cover, this song is great and im learning it on drums too for my band nice cover and channel (:

[@drumgirl]

thank you David!

Go on girl you smashed it again. I loved it. That’s brilliant. Xxx

[@RedSpicyKiwi]

Phenomenal and inspiring! I hope to see more soon.

Thank you so much Kiwi, that means a lot to me!

sorry for the extreme lateness. great job on this! i thought the extra fills were awesome. whats your favorite song by arctic monkeys?

[@emersonmacedo8994]

I've been watchign your videos also every now and then. You're progressing a lot! Congrats and keep it up! I'm also omw to be a great drummer one day :D

[@drumgirl]

Hi! Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad you like my channel :) wishing you the best with your drumming!!

[@picsor7494]

Congratulations, just discovered your channel and you're doing great! Keep going the videos, best of luck!

[@drumgirl]

thanks for your support, Picsor!!

[@mauriciohgg]

Cant find anywhere info about your drum kit. Which one are you playing with? Thanks 😊

[@alderoth01]

I just stopped by to check up from the last video I commented on which I think was 10 months into the first year? It was about 2 months ago, but now you are a TIME KEEPER!!! I don't know if you are playing with a click or anything, but there is no rushing or dragging that I can hear other than that middle little flub, but that's it. You'd get the gig if this was a demo lmao!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@drumgirl]

Aww, thank you so much, that means the world to me!!! I’ve been working on timing a lot since I have ongoing trouble with rushing, so I’m glad to hear you noticed improvement! No click track here, just used Moises to reduce the volume of the original drum track by about 80-90%. Btw, I’ll finish two years on drums in October :)

[@alderoth01]

@drumgirl that is insane in my mind lmao!! I played drums in Junior high and high school. I did the trap set for jazz band, played Quads for marching, and did auxiliary percussion mainly during orchestra and it took me 2 freaking years just to STAY in time lmao!! You were as spot on as could be. As far as I could tell it was just that one little flub you did that had any time difference. I am shocked 😲. Thats what happens when you are passionate about something. You excell quickly. Keep it up!! You'll be a studio drummer in no time!!

[@elsporko321]

Cool cover and well done! A few tunes I think you might enjoy drumming (based on others you've played)..maybe not all to your tastes, but I bet one or two would stand out! Nada Surf - Killian's Red Death Cab - Title Track John Vanderslice - White Plains Rogue Wave - Ghost/Chicago x12 The Decemberists - Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect Built to Spill - Living Zoo/Carry the Zero Spoon - Everything Hits at Once Band of Horses - The Funeral Guster - Dear Valentine Pinegrove - Moment The Shins - Girl Sailor Pavement - Spit on a Stranger/Unfair Deep Sea Diver - Wishing/Switchblade

[@drumgirl]

Hi! THANK YOU for these recommendations!! I haven’t heard of most of these bands or any of these songs. So far I’m really liking Deep Sea Diver. I will continue listening and maybe have one of these up on my channel in the future 😊

[@elsporko321]

​@@drumgirlNo problem! Deep Sea Diver is awesome, and their most recent album "Impossible Weight" is really, really good...Jessica Dobson is a beast, and so is the drummer (her husband) who always plays really interesting, almost melodic drum parts.

[@anonx5134]

awesome cover! what kit are you using?

[@AlexisUXDesign]

Just subscribed and love seeing how you progressed! inspiring! making me want to start! Question > got a link or brand name for the drum kit? looks cool and I guess it's an electric drum kit? Keep it up!

[@drumgirl]

Thank you so much! It’s a Roland kit. I need to make a gear video one day!

[@suzyelbader3936]

Very nice, love this and all your videos! ♥️♥️♥️ What’s the brand of the electric drums you use?

[@dx92300]

Came here to see your progress after seeing your 1 year video! Amazing! Do you have a video of your drum set up? What brand edrum kit is this, app used on tablet or laptop and overall set up do you have? I'm looking to get a matching set up like you and am pricing

[@drumgirl]

Hi, thanks a lot! I should really make a video showing what gear I use. I have a Roland kit, throne, headphones, Tama hi hat stand and kick pedal, Gretsch practice pad in a snare stand.

[@Mollipoprocks]

Would love to know what electronic kit you’re using. Sounds great!

[@user-yr3dl5on7q]

Drumgirl your very beautiful great work at the drums as well you've improved so much

[@drumgirl]

aww thank you so much!

Excellent! Can you play that Thabla too?

Damn that ekit sounds good..

[@BcBaxley]

Hell yeah 😎🍻🤘

[@drumgirl]

Thanks as always Baxley :D

[@darndrey7331]

WOW this is so good!! I'm 15 and just started learning drums! Found your channel and I'm so inspired, But I'm not sure if I could ever be that good 😅 Do you have any tips for getting started? And have you ever thought of doing tutorials? 😄

[@drumgirl]

Hihi!!! I am so excited for you!! You will definitely exceed all your expectations with consistency and practice - that would be my #1 tip for you. I started learning at nearly twice your age and it took me about 2 years to get to this point in my playing. Just think where you'll be by the time you're in your 30s like me :) I have thought about doing tutorials, I just haven't quite worked up the courage to actually record one 😅 I'm glad to hear that's something you'd like to see though!

[@vincentandersson7542]

Nice job! Now play meet your maker by in flames!

[@hitchjack]

Just watched a few of your videos. Such a great journey, you're smashing it. I'm 37 and teetering on the edge of taking up the drums which has been a life long dream. I guess I just want to see if I even slightly have the capability to learn or if I will completely suck! I presume taking lessons by themselves is pointless if you don't have a kit to practice on at home? Did you just buy one or explore rentals to see how you got on?

[@drumgirl]

Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m glad you like my channel and hope it’s some proof that it’s never too late to start. I think I would have found it very difficult to practice with any consistency without a kit at home. I did a lot of research on different options and eventually bought an older used e-kit on Craigslist to start. It had a lot of issues that I didn’t like so I swapped it out for a better kit within a few weeks. If I were you I would reach out to a local drum shop to see if they have recommendations based on your budget and volume requirements.

[@withinthesupernova_]

I hope one day I see you featured on a Drumeo video playing a "First time hearing" video :)

[@drumgirl]

That is so sweet! I love that series LOL thank you ❤

[@mymamaandme]

First time on our channel, im a fan already :) Congratulations on your hard work and success..i have a teen who is interested in drumming. What can you suggest on how to start in this journey? Thank you

[@drumgirl]

Thanks so much! And great youre looking to get your teen into playing! I would try to set him/her up for success as best as you can. A good teacher and practice set up is a great place to start.

[@sappysnuggles]

I wish I had your timing. It’s my kryptonite heh. Great job!!

[@drumgirl]

Thanks a lot, Sappy, that means a lot to me! My timing still needs a lot of work but I am continuing to chip away at it :D

How do you learn the parts of the song? Do you transcribe the songs?

[@drumgirl]

Hi there! I usually learn most songs by ear and transcribe them section by section into Groovescribe. If I can't figure out the song on my own I'll try to find sheet music online.

[@patrikknoerr9777]

Where do you get your sheets? I don't suppose you are dissecting the song by ear? I try to play along a song trying to dig up what is going on, and mostly I fail :(

[@drumgirl]

Hey Patrik! I rarely use sheet music these days. I learned this one by ear. I used to use sheet music a lot but my teacher discouraged me from doing that early on. It makes it easier to be present while playing & will also allow you to learn more music without relying on finding sheet music.

[@patrikknoerr9777]

Thx. I noticed that after the 100th time you play a song, you discover more and more of the stuff that's going on. I think that doesn't hurt. Maybe it is good to read and write drum notes or box notation used for drum patterns, but when it comes to playing a song most of the sheets are not exact representations anyway. I'll probably start dissecting some songs in my Cubase by using the drum editor along with the WAV to get a better understanding. Fun Fact: I used to program a drum machine in the late 80s as a kid and had several years of experience editing drum tracks in my music studio, as well as some finger drumming on the keys. Using an Atari ST with Cubase 3 with my drum romplers did a lot of good to me back then. But playing an actual eDrum is a totally different cup of tea. @@drumgirl

[@simonherrera9373]

Nice playing. I see you have a tabla on your room. Do you also play tabla ?

[@drumgirl]

good eye! I took a few lessons over the summer but I had got busy and had to take a break. Hopefully I'll be able to start again one day
