[@DrumsTheWord]

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. I'm so pleased that drumming has become a part of your life again! Welcome back! :)

[@Tukan777]

I just made a deal with my mates that we should play this in our "band". The first thing I did when I came home was to look for the song at DrumsTheWord. Thank you!

[@declangill482]

This was the only video that actually helped. Thanks for this

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thanks Declan. Glad I could help!

[@sangrazzi]

you are so awesome!! Very friendly and personable! Thanks for putting this up man

[@Monsensical]

Thank you for sharing this tutorial! I think I really get it now

[@xtremesheep]

Thanks a lot - I've been trying for ages to get the groove to this song and this has helped me a lot (:

[@theDutchAM12]

I thank you very much sir because you are the reason i'm getting back into drumming. After five years of drumming(me being 13 right now) i got bored of drumming and to a really long break. But now because of your video's i'll have another go at it;)

[@collinmurphy9677]

Fantastic video, thank you very much

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thank you, Colin!

[@PSLegend999]

Nice drum sound

[@alexandermackintosh1755]

Hey mate maybe a strange comment but specifically want to let you know that for me the extra 5% of nerdy tips really is what I am looking for in a teacher, you say it’s not important but actually I think for those who care it makes a big difference! You do a fantastic job of explaining this stuff! I am a beginner and believe with anything in life the extra 5% will eventually differentiate you if you are serious! Excellent 5/5 video :)

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thank you, Alexander!

[@DrumsTheWord]

@pipeline555 I'll add it to my list. Thanks for your suggestion! :)

[@alexandermackintosh1755]

Love what you are doing here! As a member of the community of new learners who relates to the need for extra nerdy details could I make a suggestion? Drum/musical jargon is not very well documented online, so maybe a 5 min video to go through definitions of words like ‘snap’, brush, rim, dynamics, ghost etc. might help those who also have no musical background? It seems like concepts/definitions like this get lost in the videos and occasionally you feel stupid for not knowing them! Thanks for the awesome content again.

[@davidi7002]

This video is very good.

[@redzanza]

thanks man! finally i can play one song with drum on the ipad's garage band

[@DrumsTheWord]

@familyguycrazy101 Mark Watson?!?! :) I'll add it to my list but can't promise anything. Thanks for your suggestion! Rob

[@tajmabol]

WELL FIRST OF ALL GREETINGS FROM BOLIVIA I´M LEFTHANDED AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULTTO PLAY FOR ME BUT FINALLY I DID IT THIS GREAT SONG THANK TO YOUR VIDEO!!

[@DrumsTheWord]

[@MrFred2023]

[@MrScrubsJanitor]

That hi-hat, basedrum and opening fucks me up big time, gotta practice till i die D: thanks mate, never got it right before this vid ':D

[@DrumsTheWord]

Glad to help. Keep up the practice and have fun!

[@MrScrubsJanitor]

Mate this channel is awesome! I just scrolled through all the songs you guys uploaded, so much helpful stuff Can you maybe do "down with the sickness" some day, this might be very helpful for doublebass amateurs (like I am one) Greetings from Germany, keep up the good work 🤙

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thanks very much and greetings from the UK! And yes, I might be able to do some Disturbed in the future but can't promise anything. Thanks again for your kind words and interest in my lessons! Rob

[@maxfeasey2151]

cheers man, I just couldn't figure out where the bass drum went

[@roryando]

could u do red light indicate doors are secure? the little crazy bit at the start like - hi hat, snareeeeee, hihat, snaaaree, tom snare tom snare, ride bell :L something like that :D

[@D3b5]

@DrumsTheWord If it's not any trouble, could you please upload a vid of the 4 fills just after the verse in Knights of Cydonia? 2:42 - 2:55 :)

[@tapayshio]

what kind of kit do you use in this video?? haven't seen that type before...

[@ZzWalkerso]

Does this groove ever change or is it the same throughout the whole song?

[@sarieljeter]

I wuld luv for u to make ur vids so ur playin on actuall drum sets

[@evanpoole7829]

Yo guys Ik it sounds weird at first but if you’re struggling with the actual beat, don’t play the hi hat with your hand on beat one. It brings basically the same result and I found it slightly easier

[@joshuabrown6256]

Agile beast

[@familyguycrazy101]

Love your video's (you remind me of Mark Watson) :P, Could you do a video on 'Throw Away Your Television' by RHCP.. There are a few drum covers done, but none of them sound right.. Thanks x

[@SuperClutterbuck]

What camera do you use to record your videos?

[@ac_1349]

could u please try and do nightmare or bat country by avenged sevenfold?

[@4ynakabpa]

Lol, remember, somebody asked you to do "Fluorescent Adolescent" in comment section of "Teddy Picker"`s lesson. You`re so fast!

[@DrumsTheWord]

@jodereusereloi No worries :)

[@TulgaL]

This is a good Lesson thanks! You look like john lennon abit too :')

[@KaraHinamori]

I was about to comment this HAHA

[@pipeline555]

please could you upload a new video The adventures of rain dance Maggie (Red hot chilli peppers) Thanks

[@jgibbons9]

you couldnt do something by sublime, could ya?? :D

[@DrumsTheWord]

@4ynakabpa Hehe, it's like you read my mind...freaky ;)

[@lamber1999]

I can play it but not two times in a row, any tips?

[@luidgiviscardi8153]

I know it sounds dumb, but do it looking to the drum sheet and slowly, then you start speeding up. Try that a few times until you nail it

[@luidgiviscardi8153]

OK, I AWNSERED A 3 YEARS OLD COMMENT SORRY FOR THAT

[@1lucyskywithdiamonds]

thank you ;) I know one day I will play drums ps: sorry if I have spelling mistakes. English is not my first language

[@DrumsTheWord]

That's really sad, Lucy. Maybe you will be allowed one day though. Keep asking politely and you never know! Rob :)

[@lmoraes44]

i dont know if you already done.. when the sun goes down maybe??

[@cullenjenks3760]

I can do that EASY

[@finelinechar1821]

8:10 Don’t mind me

[@TheHolyPig]

[@Tobunshi]

John Lennon faked his death to teach drum lessons. But seriously, good job, man.

[@theDutchAM12]

Excuse me for my bad english, i'm dutch you see;)

[@aboutrodrigo_]

Is he the young Edward Norton?

[@DrumsTheWord]

He also reads comments.

[@aboutrodrigo_]

You were really looking like him, kkk. Btw, nice work, congrats.

[@sergioluna4489]

Nice! but i'd recommend you to grab the drum sticks as they should be grabbed
