Mike Barnes Drums Amazon Shop
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!:

So am I! 😰

[@Mikewasoutski6402]

Hello I am trying to Learn this song and your videos have helped me so much and I think that no one should be disliking the things you do and I just wanted to say thank you

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers James!

[@user-cb5zl8dv8q]

This is soooooooo helpful as i am about to do my grade one

[@swatinain6946]

Thanks Mike, your videos are awesome, and not only do they help to teach, you make it look awesome and effortless. It's a joy to watch you drum!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Thanks so much, so glad you dig :)

[@hkYoube]

I agree your answer

[@user-cb5zl8dv8q]

Mike I liked and subscribed as I think ur vids are the best I play along with ur videos every day for about an hour trying to practise every little bit I have learnt so much from ur videos thank you so much 😊

[@user-jr3wv4nq3r]

Amazing drumming, this is definitely my favorite grade one drum song. Just passed grade one with the help of this video, grade 2 up next

[@kimpearce1806]

Hi..Is it possible that you could do some grade 5 of 2020...2023 Please ..I am struggling ..

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Kim Pearce Hi Kim, thanks for watching! Yes these are ALL going to be coming up soon, please stay tuned! Cheers :)

[@knighthood7353]

Wow he is so good

[@jackylu3512]

Ya

[@user-kr1rh9ir6k]

Nice

[@warburtonpaul]

It seems downloading the tracks is available to those with I-Pad and I-Phone only. Not much use to those of us without either, but having bought the book!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi Paul, thanks for watching man. I think I'm correct in saying that the Trinity app is iOS only, but the tracks themselves can simply be downloaded (as mp3's) by following the instructions in the book. Also the tracks for this new syllabus are now available for the first time ever on Spotify and other streaming platforms. Spotify link is here for this book: open.spotify.com/playlist/3szhOYhkJmD0qZ7xPBg5Fp?si=rf1yNQDuRguJ0ffBgTaH-Q Cheers Paul!

[@warburtonpaul]

@@MikeBarnesDrums Thanks, Mike; have converted into mp3's. Blimey! If this is Grade 1, am going to need to come back in a different life to attempt Grade 8!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

@@warburtonpaul Ha ha, cheers Paul - I always think that every Grade is roughly the same challenge once you get there, if you see what I mean?! So by the time you're attempting Grade 8, you're standing on the shoulders of the skills you've acquired at Grade 1-7. Cheers man and good luck!

[@henrylucas5757]

You can get backing tracks and demos on a playlist on Spotify

[@shreshtjonathan4998]

Superb Mike!

[@user-cb5zl8dv8q]

The people who put 2 dis likes are just jealous of Mikes talent ❤

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Ha ha, thanks, not "talent" though - just have put some time in and done some practice. Cheers for watching.

[@theartsofdrifts4671]

Thank you so much

[@jackylu3512]

Why do I already feel like grade 1 is so hard and I’m on grade 9

[@riddhimansarkar8405]

I ❤ your 🎥. Can you teach me how to make a perfect 🥁 ▶️ video

[@mastermindofeverything7181]

Great play and you do perfect timing please teach me

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

I'd say keep it simple - point your camera, get a decent sound, and make content people want to watch! Thanks for watching.

amazing chanel

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

🙏🏻👊🏻

[@l3thalvortex127]

Have they cancelled the rock and pop syllabus?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

No!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

This is Trinity's regular drum kit syllabus, it's an alternative to taking the Rock and Pop route. Bit more wide ranging in styles - features more funk, jazz, latin, reggae etc as well as rock and pop styes. Cheers!

[@l3thalvortex127]

@@MikeBarnesDrums oh, thanks :)

[@nabilel-geziry5037]

I have the book I bought from an irl course, but I don't have the songs to play to, does anyone know where I could get them?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

If you have the book, audio download instructions are on the inside back cover! The tracks are also on Spotify/other streaming services. Cheers!
