1:40 - We start off today's lesson by breaking down how to count with the intro since it does seem to start so suddenly and out of the blue with music

3:20 - Next, we break down the beat a bit more so that it's easier to understand and play
6:44 - Lastly, we break down the 4th measure drum beat
9:01 - And last but not least, we go into detail about how we break into the drum beat at the very beginning of the song

Just wanted to say thanks for all your tutorials. You really helped me, ​and I learned a lot. And I want to play this song for a long time but keep messing up with the Chorus. Can you maybe do a video on that part of the song or do you have any tips? Thanks again all the way from the Netherlands.

Thanks man, me and my friend are doing a duo on believer and he's playing the piano. This really helped me! Also, before the main chorus there is a boom, do you play the ride symbol with the snare?

[@E7MusicSchool]

on the "BOOM" you crash with the snare, then you crash with the bass on "made"

[@clmvibes]

[@kristinemacdougall]

Thank you for this! My drum teacher started teaching me this yesterday, but he's doing a very abbreviated version that I haven't been able to get the timing right. Got it know though. Adding the extra kick and hi hat brought it together for me! I do need help with the rest of the song though. How do I go about that? live? Skype thing right? Also, you help me out once before in the past and now by default when I'm having trouble I look for you out here in youtube land :)
