How To Sound EXACTLY Like AC/DC On The Drums

[@kgunitkeese17]

The irony about AC/DC is that they are a band that are very easy to imitate, but they are impossible to replicate. Another sidenote: Thunderstruck was played originally by Chris Slade, not Phil Rudd. Chris doesn’t accent the hi hat nearly as much as Phil does.

[@michaelheaton6901]

ditto ZZTop...

[@michaelr.4878]

I agree. ACDC songs are pretty easy and straight forward on all of the instruments. The parts aren't very difficult. However...it is difficult to play them and make your performance sound like ACDC. It proves that there is more to an instrument than just just notes. Feel is a very real thing. Another band that is a really good example of this is the Ramones. Their songs are even more simple..especially Johnny Ramone's guitar 'parts'. Downstroke major bar chords with a rest on the 2. But making your playing sound like his is a lot harder than it seems.

[@ethanbrunt7755]

Phil Rudd, the master of minimalism. The notes he’s playing are easy but it’s not what you play it’s how you play it. Nobody will ever have a rock groove as good as Phil

[@randywissler9923]

Not all that he plays is easy! Try playing Let there be Rock the same way he plays it. 1/8 notes on the high hat and never stopping bass drum for the whole almost 7 minutes.

Most of the songs Phil leaves the hi hat somewhere in between open and closed. This is the biggest thing drummers don't get right.

[@bakedalaska4363]

I noticed that a long time ago and thankfully I have incorporated it in my playing - not just AC/DC stuff but other material as well. Phil Rudd is a much better drummer than he gets credit for though I think that's changing now. He really is a groove master.

[@itamarbushari88]

How do you do it, I mean like how much is good for the groove?

[@jannevaatainen]

And in some intros he closes the hihat with his foot AND his left hand.

[@hannes1734]

YES. And it's such a simple thing that everyone hears and can do and still noone does it. Why? It's so easy!

[@hansvandermeulen5515]

It also sounds like he hits the hi hat a bit harder on the beat. As few fills as possible.

[@StuPedassol]

Yes, I realize it was Chris Slade who played on Thunderstruck and Moneytalks :)

[@rubievale]

Most underestimate how hard it is to play simply yet put passion or groove into it. I'm a guitar player by trade, and the most important thing in AC/DC tunes is the space between the chords/notes. It's deceptively difficult and even more for those who write them off as easy. There's a psychological aspect to how it's delivered, the intent behind the notes, that's every bit as important as the notes themselves

[@greatdelusion7654]

Yep, you certainly know what you're talking about! The space between the chords. 100%. People don't get the psychology of this band; they think they're just a hard rock band, but it was always the little things that mattered to them; the genius, intricate details behind the scenes, especially from Mal Young who was a perfectionist.

[@Max-dd4ow]

I love Phil, I don’t think people realize that you can do a simple beat and it will make a difference. Yes, someone like Danny Carey is cool or should I say (tool) But Phil really drives every song home with a nice and easy beat everytine

So true!

[@goldenltd1970]

[@BrianH020]

Grew up on Phil's playing in the late 70s and early 80s, cut my drumming teeth on Highway to Hell and Back in Black albums. The greatest thing about Phil (and almost every other great drummer, but someone like Kenny Aronoff comes to mind), is that even playing 'straight 8ths' rock, you can *feel* the swing. No disrespect to Chris Slade, who's a fantastic drummer, but he just doesn't have the same feel, particularly on the hats, that Phil does. It's like Ringo, many can attempt to copy, but no one else was more perfect for their respective bands than Ringo and Phil.. Oh maybe throw in Mick Fleetwood too on that one..

[@BrianH020]

@Bad Boys Boogie Agree on both 👍

[@markkelly6531]

Phil names Ringo as his favourite drummer. Both often criticised for technical proficiency but integral to the sound of their great bands.

Usually start with “Rosie”, go to “Sin City”, then some “Beatin Around The Bush” maybe even get Beavis and Butthead nostalgic and listen to some “Gone Shootin”. Great job sir!

[@ronstelly3443]

That was an e excellent way to describe how to play the drums to AC/DC music. The first time I ever saw them was in 1977 with Bon Scott and the others, they had a completely different tempo back then. Also good of you to note the huge difference between Phil and Chris Slade.

[@damion6877]

The technique Phil uses on thunderstruck is called a push pull. The count is 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & On 1 you push the stick down into edge of the hats. On & you pull the tip down onto the the body of the hats. As someone once told me, Phil drives the groove with his left hand and right foot all while breathing life into it with his right hand.

[@simmodrums1375]

Another thing to mention is the Crash patterns. It’s important to pay attention to how Phil changes the crash patterns in the songs. The best way to describe it that it’s not consistently on every snare hit, sometimes it’s on every other snare hit and then it swaps over. For Those About to Rock and Shoot To Thrill are great examples of this, check out my latest cover of FTATR and watch the end bit to see the crash patterns visualised and notice how important they are to master when you’re covering, that’s not a plug, it’s genuinely the best way to visualise it because Phil does different crash patterns in the live versions!

Like the middle of the Hells Bells guitar solo, or the end of Giving the Dog a Bone, or the triplet hits in walk all over you or Whole Lotta Rosie.

Big difference in feel between Chris Slade and Phil Rudd. I love both guys but Slade is extremely, almost mechanically precise and on top of the beat. I love the way this comes across on “AC/DC Live,” the energy is incredible and Slade is really driving the band. Phil Rudd is always just a shade behind the beat, which locks in with the guitars and makes the whole outfit groove like an MF. The second half of the chorus of “Back In Black” is my favorite example of this; Phil’s playing makes that riff sound so incredibly heavy.

[@oliveroliver7330]

Exactly mate. That’s the real secret. Phil is a shade behind the snare beat, but only with the snare. The base drum is on the 1000s second on spot. Unfortunately this gift of god is not learnable 😢

My first drum set around 1984 was a Sonor Phonic 7 pc set with Oak Veneer and the huge power size toms. I always rode my bike went to this music drum store about 7 miles away in Garland,Texas and just wished I had that same looking AC/ DC set. At the time it was selling for about $4000 and they had it in the studio looking showroom. Well for my 16th birthday, I finally got my wish for a drum set and my mom took me to the same store to pick out a set. I think my budget was around 1000-2000 so I was looking around to see what was available. Saw a nice silver many toms set but it was a off no name brand had my attention but lo n behold that same Sonor set was out of the studio just sitting stacked up and not set up anymore. I asked salesman, how much is it? He said $1500, I said SOLD. He said the line was discontinued so that's why it was half their original price earlier in the year. Those drums are the loudest and physically heaviest set I've experienced. I don't have them anymore,a big regret. Oh well Oh also added Paiste 505 cymbals crash, ride and hats for $500 back then. Fun days growing up

Phil’s hi hats on the verses of highway to hell are so great. He is subtly semi-opening and closing his hats at certain points.

Mate !!! You are absolutely right with what you are saying but for gods sake you forgot or did not realise the most important part. Phil is one of the few blessed drummers on earth who actually can play the snare drum, just a shade after the real time. In other words, he drags it like a blues player. It might only be 100th of a second or even less, but if you listen really carefully, for example to back in Black, you can make it out 🎉 Maybe you want to point out this feature in one of your future videos

What do you mean? Can you give me an example?

[@brandons6167]

​@@greatdelusion7654 I gotcha dude. What he means is instead of only hitting the snare drum on the 2 and the 4; you instead need to play the bass drum and the snare drum together simultaneously on the 2 and the 4. It's not AC/DC, but a great example of this beat is "Gimme all your lovin' " by ZZ Top. Hit only the bass drum on 1 and 3 and hit the snare and bass together on 2 and 4. Play it like a 4/4 beat but hit the bass and snare together at the same time when you are on the 2 and 4 (the snare part). Sometimes it adds a little bit more of a punch to a rhythm when both the bass drum and snare are hit together. Phil Rudd doesn't really do it that often. Mostly on the early stuff. Listen to "Ain't no fun waitin' around to be a millionaire" from "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap." The album "Powerage" is where he does it the most. 3 songs to hear it on that album are "Sin City", "Up to my neck in you" and "Gimme a bullet." "Panama" by Van Halen is one more example off the top of my head. I hope I've explained it well enough, but once you hear it you'll understand. The ZZ Top song is pretty easy to start with. I would try that first. Have fun! 😃
