What are some other drum intros that you want to learn? Let me know in the comments!

[@golduckroger]

I know , 2 months late but... the opening fill on "That Which Erodes The Worlds Most Tender of Things" by The Black Dahlia Murder" is a SIKK fill 😍

[@leonard_oakenshield]

6:00? Although I already know how to play that one. Or at least I think I can 🤨😅

[@gabrielmihai5034]

[@horizontaljumper1991]

I like how you repeat the more confusing stuff multiple times. Good teaching!

[@paz0r]

strangely, i can smell cozy powell in this intro

[@jeremygarnermusic6226]

[@CameronFleury]

Thanks Mark! Check back very soon for a new a video. :)

[@thanussongprasart2568]

Very food lesson

[@derekg7853]

My interpretation of it is the exact same, except instead of 2 splash hits with the 16th kick, there should be a china/crash/mini China/mini crash hit (either or, whichever sounds punchier depending on your setup) on the last kick before you move to the toms. Try it out and see how you like it. For me, it makes the transfer from kick & splash to the toms waaay more easy for the ears and brain to follow.

[@vortexdrums8210]

Could you do Thunderhorse by Dethklok? More specifically the double kick pattern in the intro?

[@williamirwin6205]

🤟

[@CameronFleury]

🤘🤘

[@sagnikbiswas5839]
