Very Well explained Mike! Thnx a lot!! N good drumming! .. can you demonstrate “Heat of the moment” by Asia .. mainly the snare hits towards the end of the song..

[@dougdale5460]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@Projility001]

Nice breakdown thanks !

[@VespaT5]

Hi Mr Barnes, hope you're well. Whilst you're doing rock drum fills, how about Garbage, When I grow up? The break is at about 2:30, sounds simple but works perfectly in the song and brings it back to the beat in, what I think is a cool & exciting way, just as a fill ought to be.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Neol, will add it to the list!

[@ricardoquevedo7495]

Excellent my friend !!!!

[@larrymann1272]

Thank you, perfect technique!

[@ZPX945]

[@daztastic147]

Brilliant, thanks this is going to be so useful! 👍🎶🎵🤘

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

👊🏻

[@Foreverdrums]

Great lessons as always, although I'd add that many drummers love the kick drum notes in that track too

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Chris, yeah, classic kick part! Full play-through here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppm6Ya2reZyDfpo 👊🏻

[@Foreverdrums]

@@MikeBarnesDrums another reason why I wish I'd learnt to read years ago, I find now my original band days are over I play covers and try to be true to each song but using my ears I find sometimes I play a beat or part too many or not enough times ha ha. But at 58 not sure I can focus enough to learn. BTW I always recommend yourself to other young drummers who talk to me after a gig, especially your tips on Toto's Rosanna as I find it the best on the net to follow & understand. Much appreciated

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

@@Foreverdrums Cheers Chris! Much appreciated. You 100% could learn to read if you wanted to, what's being 58 got to do with it? Seen hundreds of people in that age category successfully learn and my oldest student was 82 when he STARTED. Go for it! Simply a matter of application IMO and experience :)

Best book about learning to read is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJfWgGunoa2KZq8 My music theory playlist is here, plenty of vids about beginners' reading stuff: kzbin.info/aero/PLcfoni8UPb9rbwxV3n8J2Nhcs6q4be2H2

[@Foreverdrums]

@@MikeBarnesDrums ok I'll have a look, maybe that could be one of my new goals for this year, after that first pint in a pub of course 🤣, thanks again

[@ley98]

This song had alot more involved drum parts than you think what seems simple is actually more intricate than you think

[@youtubetrailerpark]

Lovely, thank you!

[@td-12kx53]

Great lesson, Mike! I’ve always wondered how this fill was done. I forgot all about it over the years. It takes some practice for me, but it is coming together nicely. Everything takes practice, right?👍

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

👍🏻

[@MrGordonGartrelle]

[@TwoandaHater]

What I want to know is how he plays those 16ths one handed (at least in the video) hahaha.

[@JohnAnglin-lh7bs]

I wonder if sort of a "skeleton" drum fill could be done on a full street bucket drum setup🤔 Any thoughts anyone?
