One of the sickest songs from the sickest bands

[@gordonirvine6134]

This is one of my favorite drum intros of all time. And one of my all time favorite songs.

[@peterarmstrong6928]

My sons just mastered this song,,thanks to you Mike 🤘

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Great Peter! Thanks for watching :)

[@YouTalkTv]

Awesome Mike!! We used to play this tune with my band...I might try to record both drums and guitar for this one. What level do you think is required to play this intro? on a 1 to 8 scale.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers man! Nice one - bass drum speed for those quads is probably the limiting factor! So Grade 4 or 5 I'd say :)

What a great breakdown of this intro, I have had the backing track a while but haven’t even attempted it yet, -no way would I have got it this accurate by ear though, this is brilliant it will be so useful. I feel a coffee winging it’s way to Cambridgeshire ☕️👍👍😂🎶🎵

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers man! Glad you dig :)

Cheers man! Glad you dig :)

[@TheEditSuite]

Love ya vids! Loved the lesson. Was super good. I watched a video of Matt Sorum playing this live and he doesn’t hit a constant floor Tom though. Just a minor detail I noticed cos I’m obsessed with this song at the moment! 😬 - Josh

[@TheEditSuite]

This is the video I saw of him. Notice he plays just 3 hits on the floor Tom during the second part? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJjMkGpnf7uegpo

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

@@TheEditSuite Cool, yeah seen that a few times - he also orchestrates the opening lick slightly differently around the kit. Just goes to show for me it's the principles that makes this work, rather than the finer details of orchestration. But of course, feel free to play it just like he does here. Thanks for watching and paying attention! Appreciated.

[@TheEditSuite]

@@MikeBarnesDrums totally I’m learning so much from you! Thanks so much!

[@seanbaker6192]

Yep..there it be..👍👍

[@andrewwright8433]

Thanks for this mike, as usual this will take me a lot faster to learn because of you...it’s been like the holy grail of drum parts but I’m sure I’ll get it now

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Nice, classic drum part! Matt Sorum - the master of the straight-ahead, memorable drum part!

[@andrewwright8433]

Thanks again for breaking it down

[@stephenlane8896]

Great lesson Mike. I always learning a lot from your channel. What Module/VST are are you using for you E drums as they always sound great.

"If I have to tell you that, we're probably not going to be friends." LMAO

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Actually I don’t mean that at all :) There will of course be tons of young drummers just getting to know this music! Cheers Steve!

[@steveanderson6180]

@@MikeBarnesDrums Nobody thought that was serious. I'm old enough to remember hearing the same about "Sing Sing Sing", "Wipeout" and a few others.

[@alejandrohoyos2598]

You have the voice like freezer in spanish

[@alexfwalker1007]

Can I ask what kit you're using Mike?

[@HongKongEclectic]

Regarding heel-up bass drumming, I started learning in the 90s and learned heel-down. My body really fights against me trying heel up. Any tips for getting me to change over to it?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Keep going! “Genius is just perseverance in disguise” Make the movements slowly at first and build. Time, effort, consistency. Thanks for watching!

Hi!How to play black dog

[@r0s4nn3]

How'd you learn to play kick drum that fast? It's nearly impossible for me😂

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

It's built day by day, month by month and year by year. I'm 31 years into drumming and still just getting started! Playlist about bass drum technique etc here: kzbin.info/aero/PLcfoni8UPb9rfMKiVUYJVO6C7lBcKZNvb&feature=shared

Uber slow!!! 😂

[@D64S]

This should be easy and simple and you made it like rocket science. I hope you're not a drum teacher.

[@D64S]

And that's not even nearly right ffs. It's not like even the same song.

[@ministrydrummer]

I play only by ear and will never learn how to play that stupid intro.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Ok!

[@renomotlex]

You might have to keep practicing until it ztops being fun, but you'd be surlrised what you can force your body to do. The first time I heard the drums on Sepultura "Territory" it was like hearing a foreign language. Still not fully mastered and have to improvise here and there, but can respectfully do it justice. I struggle with the 32'nd note hi-hats on Mr. Brownstone. Some people are born with the gift and some are not, but practice and committed effort can make up for a lot.
