[@Minecraftowns69]

It's so embarrassing because I'm 17 and only just got my kit and just started playing I'm so Shit and can't even do this

[@E7MusicSchool]

Ahh whats there to be embarrassed about bud? Everyone's gotta start somewhere :) I've had students start up drums never played before at 60 years old +. I think this song is not the best to start off with... watch another video of mine... back in black by acdc... thats a much more appropriate song to begin with. Let me know how you do!? :)

[@samh7772]

Start off by learning songs like 7 nation army, practise rudiments until drumming feels natural and then try songs like this

[@minsugageniusjjangjjangman9488]

Can you do Devil in I by Slipknot? I realllllyyy want to learn that! Or maybe House of wolves By Bring me the horizon

I am starting a monthly video membership so that you can access the FULL song. All new videos that come out will have the full song video available to members. Keep in touch as its beginning BY September at the latest!

[@katharsis3283]

I have one question,what is the cheapest drum set for playing this song,Im trying to learn from this video and practice it on an app

[@E7MusicSchool]

Aucistic drums.. gammon and peace are cheap... electronic simians is cheap. I'd recommend trying craigslist for used sets

[@prateekyadav9811]

The rocking motion you demonstrated, is it the moeller tech? Thank you!

[@ReeceXBeats]

Hi, i wan't to get into drumming and i'm probably gonna buy a kit for Christmas. This is one of the songs i really wan't to learn but you seem to have 5 drums and the kit i'm looking at only has 4, do i need to buy anything extra?

[@E7MusicSchool]

A 4 piece set will do just fine. It helps having the 5 piece, but all you have to do is double up the hi and mid tom parts on your hi tom, problem solved. :)

[@ReeceXBeats]

Thanks

[@meumundosad2498]

Tutorial ver good 😄👏🏻

[@minniemouse6912]

You kind of look like john dolmayan, the drummer from system of a down

thnx this hellep me a lot but i dont really get it is it the same over again later or is it just "easy" to hear what he drums?

[@cumulusft5996]

cause if so i cant really

[@E7MusicSchool]

It helps if you are "trained" how to listen in to songs.

[@shottingham]

Haven't played the drums since I was 9 years old and I was still able to keep up. Wow. Subbed and I'm going to buy an electronic drum set now. Ty.

[@caithodgy]

for the beginning, what would you do if you only have 3 toms (including floor)

[@E7MusicSchool]

use your high tom for any parts that I use the 1st 2 toms on.

[@joshc.3918]

in my advice, hit the floor tom than do the 2 other toms as he says (right, left)

nicee...

[@samueljacobson470]

I know this is sorta old, but if anyone can reply that'd be nice. Anyways, I'm playing this on a beginner electronic Drum set so it wouldn't recognize the "rocking hihat" are quarter notes okay, or do I do one lighter and then another harder?

[@E7MusicSchool]

if it doesn't recognize it, I'd still get used to doing the rocking hi hats. Playing quarter notes is an option for now if needed.

[@oktoberfesttheenthusiast]

Hi, could you like write the part when you start playing the Hi Hat part, you know the musical notes I’m trying to at least master it

[@E7MusicSchool]

I can help you live instead if you like? That's better than sheet music imo!

Thank you for the video, Mr Professor! Helped me a lot. I've just got one question: is it me or the second bass drum hit you play in the tom tom part is at 'and' not on 'two'? I've tried playing bass with left hand many times, but I can't really get it. Is my counting incorrect?

[@E7MusicSchool]

HI Damian! contact me through my website and i'll schedule a live session with you to help you figure this out.

[@finalparadigm331]

What if I only have 2 toms?

[@E7MusicSchool]

no problem, just double up the high and mid tom parts on 1 tom.

Is there way to play this with only 3 toms

Absolutely! Simply double up the first two toms on your high tom. Problem solved!
