How To Play Gimme All Your Lovin’ by ZZ Top On Drums: Note-For-Note Drum Cover

[@motomanxxxmotomanxxx]

That's pretty much how I believed it to be played in 1983 when I first heard it. I new nothing about the drums, but this was the first video on MTV I ever saw at a house party, and I fell in love with the Eliminator album and studied it religiously, learning about the basics of drumming, even though I never owned a kit. Still waiting to get my first kit next year so I can finally rock out to this album.

Nothing flash about this song, just a straightforward blues jam but such a solid groove! Great job!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers man! 👊🏻

[@Ezevs]

You look so happy playing this that it made me go buy an alesis ekit:) I can almost play along!!! Thanks so much!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Drumming is dancing and dancing is fun. I took up traps in my 50s and I'm loving it. Like dancing it's also great for keeping sharp into old age.

[@andywilliams8636]

Excellent. A classic backseat and just spot on, love it.

Aquí viéndote desde Argentina! A mis 47 años estoy aprendiendo a tocar la batería, tu trabajo aquí es genial, el tiempo es perfecto, es inspirador lo que haces Mike!!!

[@Argentomovil]

Te llevo 10, y también empecé a aprender a tocar la bata, es mas difícil de lo que parece a primera vista!! jajaja abz

[@CaptainofUnderpants]

Thanks Mike, I am learning this one, love it !

[@daveorrell5770]

Brilliant! Been trying to get this one right for a couple of weeks but as I dont read music its been listening to the original over and over. Seeing your vid has provided me with all I needed to know. Mega!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Great Dave, that's the idea of these type of videos. Thanks for taking the time to comment and really glad it was useful. Cheers! Mike :)

A silly story about this... I always loved this intro. It's absurdly simple and it's not even a real drum (didn't noticed until now!), but since I was 10-12 yo I wanted to play drums just to play this. Now I'm 42 and starting to play and happy to have fun with it finally. How annoying is to read that this was a drum machine...

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Yeah famously drum machine was used a lot on the Eliminator album - I think some of Frank Beard's cymbal hits and tom accents were kept, but a lot of the grooves were replaced by drum machine. I have to say i think it really works and rocks hard. And it's fun to try to replicate that feel live. Thanks for watching!

[@MrJPatch1]

You should add to the argument on La Grange fills, I would be very interested in your interpretation!!

[@jerryweston4097]

Great song mike

[@NikosMikonos]

2 years later 😄 Mike , are you sure of the last verse of this song ? Since your video is "note for note" I don't hear that on the original, especially for the break that leads to chorus.

[@zxkevin57]

Awesome 👏👏👏👏👏

[@javierpinzon789]

Excelente. Desde Bucaramanga - Colombia. Tengo 50 años y hasta ahora estoy aprendiendo a tocar bateria. Muchísimas gracias por compartir con nosotros su alegría. Le mando el más fuerte de los abrazos. Salud y vida. Javier Pinzón.

Hi Mike, Hey, I'd love to watch you do 'Gimme 3 Steps' . I love the beat and kick drum but The early transitions are a bit confusing.

[@kc-vf4lp]

Best cover awesome 🤙Can you play cherry bomb by John Cougar?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

TJ35 BJJ Cool man thanks for watching. I’ll add it to the request list!

[@Markroyale]

Mike, this may be a dumb question, but we’re you’re playing along to covers where the drums start the track off on the first beat how do you time it without a count-in? Thanks for any help. Really enjoyed your performance of this 👍

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi Mark, not a dumb question! Good drumless tracks will have a count-in to queue the drums. If I remember rightly, this one did. I probably just edited it out afterwards so you don't hear it here :)

[@Markroyale]

Thanks for taking the time to reply, Mike. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@kululong]

Mike can you make some queen songs drum tutorials?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

geometry fortress Hi there, yes some cool Queen tunes coming up too! Thanks for watching :)
