Geez.. I get caught up in my head and all I hear are people saying "you just gotta feel it"... Then this guy comes along. He's a friggin' brain surgeon on the drums. I can't even comprehend how fast his brain is piecing this stuff together, and yet it feels as natural and effortless as can be.

[@Spladoinkal]

It's not his brain moving fast as much as him just listening and playing to a ridiculous number of songs from all kinds of genres. You develop patterns of how songs go and recognize "Oh this is this kinda song" then it's just a matter of getting the kicks. Even then, there's patterns for how the kicks work. While there's a lot of creativity that can be done in music, it still has to be set up in certain patterns to sound pleasing to the ear. In many cases, there are musicians that can shred but don't know how to properly structure a song to make proper sense and this unfortunately holds them back. I can typically pick up a worship song for church I've never heard before in like 1-2 listens with no issue just because of listening to a lot of music. Greg just takes this to a whole new level by being able to learn very complex parts quickly. All this to say this: Play A LOT of music from ALL genres. If you don't know how to play along with something, learn, there's youtube for that.

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

I made 13 mistakes just watching.

[@indyracer56]

A lot of it comes from understanding song structure, etc. I was in a lot of live situations where I had songs thrown at me that I had never heard before. If you know even basic song structures and chord progressions you can at least make a decent stab at playing an unknown song.

[@Spladoinkal]

​@@Spladoinkal great post. Many fail to realize that much of the magic in music is fundamental work that leads to invaluable experience.

[@drummingnuts]

This guy is not only a great drummer/musician, he is a wonderful man! Also he is hilarious when he wants to be. Gregg made my 70th birthday very special! On December 1st, 2018 he was presenting a clinic at Cascio Interstate Music in New Berlin, WI ( Milwaukee area). He announced that it was my birthday and had me come up and play a little for him!!! A very memorable occasion!! This is a marvelous instructional video!! Thank you so much Gregg!!!

[@Footy_Fan]

Oh my gosh! I have been to the Walmart in New Berlin a few times. We are from Indianapolis, but my daughter met her husband on a Christian dating site, and he was from Wautoma, so they lived there for a handful of years. They now live in Green Bay.

Greg is so good in 1985, David Lee Roth coming off one of the biggest albums in history left VH and took, Billy Sheehan, Steve Vai, and Greg as his bandmates. Greg is a legend.

[@monty4336]

I was in a rock band with a drummer that did this for every original song we came up with. I played bass at the time and had been in two previous bands but with this guy, I learned more about playing tight with the drummer and remembering what he played in each song. After two years and thousands of band practice hours together, I felt I was a much better musician having that experience.

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

The best of the best never cease being students. It's very cool you understand this.

[@monty4336]

@@BaconIsNotBiceps I've spent all my years of playing believing that I can always learn something new from someone. It's a matter of being open to learning and also understanding that I haven't learned everything.

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

@@monty4336 I remember watching John Petrucci asking Geddy Lee how they went about writing songs. All I could think is how John was like an awe-struck kid getting to ask one of his idles how they did it. When someone as amazing as Petrucci is still willing to ask how, you know you should never stop asking questions. LoL

[@ttb4456]

what song is this?

[@1steeeez]

What helped you learn his parts better? I’m a drummer and I’m trying to help my bassist understand what I do.

[@loadofcrap1]

I had the fortune to record an album, with Greg putting on a couple of drum tracks. This is how he works. After a 2 listens and him taking notes, he recorded a track. In my mind perfect, missed no hits, perfect with the backing track, added that extra spice that made the track come alive, Groove. After this first take his comment was “how was that other than I should play it better”. No Greg, that take was it. First takes often are the best as It is fresh. Second take magic, how do you choose, you can’t. Had the fortune to tour with him, 5 dates. What a lovely special guy, wicked sense of humour.

[@sneakypickle]

[@af7119]

I met Greg at a clinic outside of chicago in the 90s and he was so humble, down to earth, and friendly. He never seemed to rush to speak to us individually. What a legend.

[@lizardworm9848]

I met Greg in a beer line at a Whitesnake concert. very nice,cool, and humble guy. w

[@kemo3236]

I know Gregg from school WAY BACK in 70’s. We were in same band back when he played trumpet!

[@clintfu]

Quick story about Greg: The first drum clinic I attended was around 1988 (when I was 14ish), and it was Greg at the Cotati Caberet in Cotati, CA (hosted by the drum shop at Zone Music). During the clinic, one of the drum teachers presented Greg with the chart/sheet music for a drum solo that the teacher had written. Greg was unprepared for the solo as he didn't have a copy before the clinic, but he proceeded to play the drum solo for the first time while reading along to the sheet music. It was totally amazing, and the drum teacher was grinning from ear-to-ear because of how ridiculously accurate Greg's interpretation was. At the end of the drum clinic, Greg came out from behind his kit and did a bunch of drum corps inspired snare work. It was nuts. Great memory! This Drumeo video further demonstrates that Greg is a master level musician, and a really great guy!

[@jesuscontreras124]

Man i totally feel you Greg was the first "real" pro drummer i saw in mi life. He gave a clinic about the complexities on Ringo Star's drumming in Monterrey, México at a known musical instruments store. Jawdropping experience, this man is pure class and musicianship. I was like 17 back then and he was endorsed by Mapex, he gave me a catalog and thats the main reason why i have my drums (mapex, but i guess I'll have to change mi kit) Cheers mate!

[@clintfu]

@@jesuscontreras124 Awesome story! Thanks for sharing!

[@jamesware7763]

Amazing playing! Exceptional ear. Closed my eyes and he’s nailed it in one take and nothing out of place knowing how to play for the song. Bravo 👍 Beautiful touch.

[@christschinwon]

I met him on a Pearl drums summer camp, south of France in '93. Lovely man and great tutor

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

I recall what a Doctor once said when referring to intelligence and the misconceptions people come to believe and that in order to become a Doctor you have to be smarter than everyone else. He said, it's not that we're smarter necessarily - it's that we have better memories. I already forgot what Gregg did above. That's why he's not here commenting on my video but rather me on his. LoL

i don't even play drums, but i couldn't stop watching this. what an amazing human being!

[@frankburdodrums8984]

This is what happens when you LIVE AND BREATHE MUSIC for many many years. Impressive, as always.

[@KingGrio]

This is literally insane how on one listen he can not only identify each section, but also remember them. And then he plays a perfect drum part in one take for it. My mind is absolutely blown.

[@kevinonthedrums7495]

Geez Gregg killed the whole video. That dude is ON constantly! This one of the most important lessons any young drummer can pay attention to. I know it's not sexy to listen to a song and just take notes, but it will literally save your drumming life. AMAZING LESSON!

[@CesarMontecristo]

Incredible lesson from this iconic master of the drums. Mr. Bissonette is on another level. Great knowledge, paired with incredible feel, taste, chops and improvisational skills equals legendary status. Such a good dude, too. Very personable and down to earth.

[@ronamram3067]

[@larzblast]

Gregg is everything that all drummers should aspire to be: technically adept, groovy, creative but above all else, human. There are a lot of big name drummers out there whose art I respect but are horrible humans, as if they don't really want to be there. Gregg's enthusiasm to impart all his knowledge is what puts him above all others.

[@mrbouncelol]

It's good advice for life. Some people think their brilliance gives them license to be unlikeable, but it's a real mistake because rarely if ever is someone really "irreplaceable"

[@FlyingGemSparkly]

Greg & I were born on the same day and just had our 64th Birthday June 9th 1959!

[@shadowsearcy]

The figure on the cymbal stack/snare drum and kick is Page 57, #3 of Ted Reed's Syncopation book. Gregg also played this at 1:50 on South 21th Street Shuffle on the Maynard Ferguson "Live From San Francisco" album, on a China cymbal.

[@neilmoneymaker4875]

Great, talented drummer. I learned of Greg's drumming from David Lee Roth's solo album with the songs "Yankee Rose", and "Shyboy" among others. "Shyboy" in particular because of the drum fill that begins that song and then the pretty quick double bass pattern that kicks in afterward and holds throughout the song. Very talented musician/drummer who is very well-rounded, with adept ability in many genres.

[@calaverx11]

One of those "my uncle's best friend" stories - he *actually* went to high school with my uncle in Warren/Detroit, Michigan! When Gregg was touring with DLR on "Skyscraper" in the early 90s, my uncle managed to hook up with him before a concert. My 10-year-old mind was blown that one of my rock star idols was IN MY HOUSE and just hanging out lol. Good to see he's still going strong with Ringo Starr all these years later.

Sometimes drumming isn't about 'feeling it' but about commitment, dedication and passion, as demonstrated by Gregg the drumming artist.

[@ttb4456]

[@zoznak1943]

No, it is about feeling it. Commitment, dedication, and passion are important (if one wants to be very good at what he does), but aren't worth a lick if the feeling isn't there.

⁠@@morbidmanmusicthere are great drummers out there that may have better speed, foot work or just more popular in general; Eloy, Garstka, Chad Smith, Portnoy or Grohl. But popular doesn’t make you skilled. Portnoy, Chad or Grohl with their popularity couldn’t pull this off. I have seen ppl say Grohl is a session drummer. Hahahaha. He’s a drummer hired to do albums that has material to take home and listen to. Gregg said, “I dont get to take these charts home and study them.” What he does takes years of studying and first hand application. So yes there are many that can do it. But not a lot of the guys that some ppl claim can just cause they like them. I have been in the studio with Gregg many times. This is old hat to him. That’s why gets call backs.

[@gcorriveau6864]

Thanks for sharing "the process." When I was a 16 yo highschool weekend gig, cover band drummer, I could just memorize songs from the albums. Now that I'm a 'somewhat' older drummer, playing a wider variety of music with 3 different groups I am learning how to build a Quick Ref. Formchart for songs (i.e. Greg's floor tom chart level here). - I'm kind of surprised that (lo these many years later) there us no "Industry standard" drummer quick form charts (akin to chord charts commonly available for the rest of the band). So, I'm using this excellent demo (and some others) to invent my own. Thanks, Greg/Drumeo, for this help.

If you need to learn a song by ear, start by listening to it two or three times all the way through. It's amazing how much you'll pick up by just listening to it a couple of times, without even practising any parts.

Sight Read Drums The point here is that a pro like Gregg could quickly go into a studio session tracking multiple tunes on very short notice. His understanding of song form, music theory and improvisational skills allows him to quickly assimilate into any situation. A bar band level player like me would require a lot more preparation and yes, I’d start with listening to the song multiple times first. I lack Gregg’s skills and experience.

Time is the big factor. Alot of guys could arrive at close to the same product. But can you do it quick and on the fly in minimal takes? THAT'S why they get those gigs. Studio pros can do it all in a short time. That saves money. The singer and the guitarist can get tons of overdubs if the drums nail it in two takes. I've worked on the periphery of a few of these demo sessions and these guys always amaze me.

This is the second time this great lesson has been uploaded and I have listened and will Comment again. Gregg is a fantastic drummer and seems like a great person. And how much fun would it be to to grab a beer or two (or a coffee if he does not imbibe) with Gregg and talk about his vast experiences with drums. BTW I have mentioned this to Dave A. that among my many shortcomings in drums the topic of this lesson is what I am weakest at. I can read simple charts and the charts for looped practice things but not complex charts. Would love it if Drumeo would make a say 13 week course starting at the simple basics. I would pay an honest fee for this course. Thanks Gregg and Drumeo. Great stuff.

Met him at a Roland clinic at Guitar Center and he is every bit the great guy you think he is.. and even more talented, and doubly gifted at teaching everyone else his extensive experience. Got to hear him jam to that Will Robinson sing he wrote with his brother. If I was good enough to be making an album, likely in just about any style I am capable at, he would be top on my list.
