Hi Mike, loving your tutorials. I think I’ve met you before. Were you a friend of Mike Dobie?

[@IsaacWale2004]

The drums are very underrated in this song...

[@andreaspapadopoulos1328]

The drums are boring as hell in this song what do you mean??

[@ic2Yee]

@@andreaspapadopoulos1328 you just dont understand the vibe in the drums.

[@richarddunne9802]

The drums are perfect in this song (the original, I mean), although this video is a simplified version. There are much more tom fills in the bridge section. I assume this video is to help students get used to navigating the time changes.

[@peteski5201]

@@andreaspapadopoulos1328 clearly you are neither a drummer nor a musician. If you were you’d know this was about the stupidest thing you could say.

Amazing!!! Being a Drum Teacher the timings are difficult to comprehend :( but you played it sooooooo well!!! Cheers!!

Thanks! And cheers for watching :)

You’re not a drum teacher if you can’t even comprehend a fucking Ringo song. This is the most simple shit there is

Well played Mitchell Pritchett 😉🙂.. thanks for being our virtual teacher during these tough times..👍

[@tilottamamukherjee710]

Bro you are truly inspirational. I am currently in grade 3 and was looking at some of the videos you have done of higher grades and it is just awesome. You have helped me so much with your drum lessons and just normal covers as well. I just really wish I could meet you someday, only thing is I live in India. You are just great man. Side note:- this is my mother's account. My name is aryan.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Thanks for commenting man, really glad vids have been helpful to you. All the best!

[@samadiddle]

Mate, I've been pulling my hair out trying to sort out that timing...7/8 to 6/8 to 5/8 then back to 4/4 was NOT one of them I figured. But that sorted it...thanks so much for this great video!

I love this song

[@antoniomascini4234]

Very fantastic video, I remember my first time that I see this video and I had start to do drum lessions, here comes the sun is my favourite beatles song and I tried at play this song on drum but not much came of it, what great memories and greetings.

[@katepercy100]

Thanks so much for the tutorials. My son just got a merit in Grade 4 and we’re now moving onto this! Exciting times!

Always struggle a bit with this one, your vids are a massive help x

[@margaretgomez7946]

Nailed it man . I tried it my self . Great choice of rolls . Amazing

[@sperryclark87]

My all-time favorite song of theirs! Thanks for showing us how to play it!!

[@Mystic_Apollo]

Been playing for a little over a year with no formal training but I gotta say this seems really easy. College tutors and other drummers make grade 5 sound SUPER difficult to even get to but if this is the level of playing for grade 5 then I think I may already be there, actually a nice confidence boost for my self-hating self

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers man! Thanks for watching. Yes this is a great little one to jam along to - don't underestimate the subtleties of the part though! When playing for the Grading you need to replicate the part accurately with all nuances etc as written in the book to get a good mark. Glad you dug, and glad you're enjoying playing it! Cheers :)

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

My best advice - start at the beginning and follow the grades in sequence, fully learning the parts and reading/theory as you go and building your skills (that's the point!). Cheers!

[@richarddunne9802]

Damn, so many people criticizing this for not being exactly like the original. Read the title, folks! Trinity Rock and Pop Drums Grade 5. It's educational material, designed to help students at a particular point in their development. These videos are so useful. I wish we had material like this when I was learning!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Richard!

what about the fills in the middle of the song?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

KMA Central They don’t feature in the Trinity Rock and Pop version! Agree that it misses them!!!

[@kingizdeadable]

The fills are what makes the drums stand out in the song. I think Ringo's drum vision is one of the things that made this song so special and that is completely abandoned here. Is this a drum cover of a cartoon version of the song or what?

[@kingizdeadable]

Trinity Rock and Pop version? WTF is that even?

[@mickymac6571]

Enjoyed that,do you set up the drums the opposite way round like Ringo for that authentic way of playing.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers! Ringo didn't set them us the opposite way! He was left handed but played a conventional "right-handed" setup.

[@mickymac6571]

@@MikeBarnesDrums that's what I meant,did you set them up left-handed.?

[@helenhuang8743]

I agree with you, this song is so great and also is it possible if I improvise on the fills mike?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Of course it's possible! If you're doing it for the exam, you need to play the fills as written 1st time around, then vary the fills on the repeat. Cheers!

Hi Jose, thanks for watching. No, I am playing it correctly - this is the version of this song from Trinity Rock and Pop Grade 5 Drums. It's a stripped down version of the song to make it appropriate for this Grade level.

Score is in available in the Trinity Rock and Pop Grade 5 drums book - amzn.eu/d/7TCtUgf All the best! Mike
