[@koneser4822]

[@RubenDrums812]

As a teen I remember a interview where he says he trys to punctuate Jim Morris singing

[@MaurizioMezzatesta]

yup, they fed off each other

[@charlesrogers5805]

John Densmore just posted this video on his Twitter.

[@funibiscuit]

Doors sound tech said John is a small man who wouldn't likely weigh more than 90 lbs even with lead shot in his pockets. But he got a mighty and powerful sound with a simple setup and no double kick drums. It's in the wrists and fingers.

[@readycheddar]

You know you hit the nail on the head when John himself shares your video.

[@Ds_Drums]

Favorite Doors tune: Riders on the Storm Favorite Densmore beat: Peace Frog Densmore is great I always liked his groove and swing. Very tasteful percussionist.

[@thomasdealvarado5374]

The doors they were the bomb

[@christopher9152]

Break on Through might be my favorite.

[@jonathanbrody4119]

One of the most dynamic drummers very reactive player the doors would not have been the same without him Nice shirt Bill Ward doesn’t get enough love he’s another his Playing was very different very musical

[@camronbay1]

Bill Ward is heavy pure raw power.

[@thefog7067]

John gave The Doors a very distinctive Sound by the various styles that he incorporated into his playing

[@Judsonian]

I love these style breakdowns! Good timing on this one as I was just grooving on Soul Kitchen yesterday, thinking "man this is a funky song - the syncopation of the bass, drums and guitar lines is fantastic!

[@ronymunoz2966]

My favourite drummer alongside Mitch Mitchell...so much musicality & richness. Awesome tipping of the hat 🏅

[@julesdrums6167]

That was fucking beautifully elucidated man, loved it

[@krisdavis1050]

When I was starting out, learning to play the drums way back in 1990 at the ripe age of 13, I was getting into all of the late 60's & early 70's music and The Doors were by far, my favorite band til I was at least 15 and Densmore's drumming really inspired me to listen more to jazz

[@JesusLovesYou3]

You're awesome dude.. Solid drumming n a fine teacher.... Not a bad voice either. Keep the vids coming..I really enjoy them. I've been playing drums for 50 years now..I play in our church band..I taught my son to play n now he's the drummer for the band, the menzingers..✌🏼🙏

[@hungryjulio1269]

The Doors. The first rock band that engulfed me into music. My father played “The End” for my brother an I on the birthday of our Late uncle. It was the song my uncle played at his last moments. I fell in love with the song. The ample voice of the drums. The keys were mystical. The guitar was textured. And the vocals beautifully haunting. This song and many more by The Doors inspired my brother and I to pick up instruments. My brother first learned the keys, and I took up the back beats. This was back in 2018-19. John Densmore was the first drummer to inspire me. Four years later, I’ve grown into a drummer that I could’ve only dreamed of when starting. I owe my journey of drumming to his career and influence. And I am still growing. As a drummer, I love this Video!

[@shakeyourguitartutorials]

The Doors without Densmore would never had been The Doors , yes indeed !! Glad that you are seeing him as the great player , he always strucked me , and way tight..Excellent playing by you there buddy !! a very enjoyable video !!The blues mate , the blues : )

[@jameshall1648]

Awesome!! One of my favorite drummers. Very underrated. I always thought the drumming on "When the music is over" was epic.

[@rrrayrrray]

Excellent video! Thank you for it!

[@williamperri3437]

I've always said the top three most underrated rock drummers ever are: Alex Van Halen Nick Mason John Desmore. Who can argue that list? And the Sonars sound great. I have a safari kit.

[@gabrielsirkis704]

Love Densmore’s drumming especially in lives Great video

[@powerinformation]

great work Cobb - John Densmore wrote a good autobiography as well

[@thefog7067]

One of my all-time favourites! John Densmore is an awesome drummer

[@w.vanherk2946]

Very interesting video. Always thought The Doors drummer was the most outstanding of the band, good to know now why.

[@winnizkid]

I think one of the most fascinating Doors' drumming is definitely Touch Me. Very difficult to figure it out !

[@TurtleBlues]

My favorite is LA Woman because I think it really showcases his different styles. Love playing that one with you too :)

[@torotrac3919]

Yayyyyyy. Do another on Densmore.

[@MrGF1582]

Super cool break down of John's drumming. I was so influenced by the Doors back in High Shool that my HS buddies thought I'd become a music producer later in life. This was back in the middle to late 70's. Love the Doors! Thanks for the video!

[@williamfeilhauer]

You do a fantastic job with these videos. I've been playing since 68 and you have a lot to offer. Your dignified demeanor separates you from u tubers great job 👍

[@zoomergrrlinluv]

I like your voice ma bro.

[@johnwhitworth1328]

love your Doors passion, you have the feel

[@johnwhitworth1328]

When the Music's Over

[@tmaddrummer]

I gotta tell you Cobb, I can see some Levon Helm and Chris Layton in your drumming as well your tribute to John Densmore. Thanks for reminding this old drummer of loving The Doors. Peace and Blessings!

[@erasekeyboards]

great vid man

[@jagchuk]

It seems simple but it's not. Great video!

[@Dere5K9]

What would this sound like with a bossa nova beat? - John Densmore Pretty sure that’s a direct quote. Great video. Subbed.

[@marcaopenas7329]

You talk very clearly. I am not an english native speaker and i can understand everything you say

[@orwelliantotoro4440]

Really great video !!! Favorite Songs: queen of the highway and peace frog

[@mrjohnstgeorge]

Very nice presentation. I like the way you sing as you demonstrate. That's how a drummer keeps perfect time. Very cool.

[@narcopsy]

Great video

[@gerardmasmitjavalle5864]

[@smoothbeak]

I love that you sing along at the start haha, nice and raw

[@djevlhelvete]

As a fellow drummer myself: Thank you! Very good video and very well presented & explained! Keep on breaking through!

[@lucguenette7534]

4 piece hihats 2 cymbals this is all you need, great presentation Cobb.

[@slico79]

Thanks dude. I actually play drums in a UK doors tribute, and you just educated me - there's some stuff I didn't realise I was doing slightly differently!

[@carlosnovaes6993]

Great Homage!! You are The Drummer Man!!! You Rules!!

[@dewayne3615]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@WarrenPeace007]

[@ordjk4797]

Love the doors !

[@robertandyjustus]

Meg to Densmore. That's why I like your channel. Always insightful, ...and I'm an old Boomer guitarist. Nice job kid!!

[@rjtochev]

Good Instruction - Thanks

[@grunge6909]

Nice video dude! I wanna learn about drums so I'm subbing ps you should do more videos like this where it's what makes a band different from a drumming perspective I think those videos make people learn the best me at least cause it helps you learn what to listen for in your favorite songs

[@joseangeltoranoabdo3261]

YOUR VIDEO COOB IS VERY GOOD!!!

[@nathanielnicholson559]

Well, you've found another subscriber. Next stop, your Stephen Morris video :)

[@jtf9670]

once you started singing while drumming, and in time in key, without overproduction, I pressed that subscribe button. keep on keeping on man...

[@ericlarousse1149]

Excellent info.

[@markazinker3212]

Fantastic! Very informative, keep it up!!

[@starskystar]

I found this thoroughly informative and enjoyable. Great information displayed and communicated in an eloquent and easy to understand presentation. Bravo!

[@mysteradio]

very, very good video

[@Olliemets]

Excellent analysis of an under the radar great Drummer. Yes the Latin in the verse, Rock in the Chorus' was not something I never noticed. Salut. Color me subscribed.

[@ja.8077]

Yessssss, have you read his book riders on the storm?

[@shanesawyer5103]

Well done 👍

[@frednovaes5888]

Very nice!!! Great job

[@7856841]

Great video, learned a lot

[@pawelmorrison]

JD had a very distinctive style. It doesnt sound hard or complicated from listening to the music, but learning their songs note per note wasn't too intuitive for me. This also indicates how good of a musician he is, playing something complicated, but making it sound good and fitting to the track requires skill.

[@camronbay1]

Excellent video.

[@dagconst1]

Great break down ,

[@edwardgrimsland5764]

Really awesome video!

[@luisherrera2193]

Great video man. I wish to have the opportunity to befriend someone like you one day. Great info!

[@HankFinkle11]

Well done!

[@JesseOnThaDrums]

Hey Cobb, nice playing, but i would like to add, that his signature fill isnt RRLR, LLRL,its actually just RRLLR or LLRRL

[@donaldlamkin1305]

Great video!

[@donaldlamkin1305]

All four members of the band had such a unique sound but Densmore definitely flys under the radar. Great job displaying just how unique his playing was

[@jimilove7773]

Nice

[@Metaflossy]

waiting for the sun is my favorite doors song, but not particularly for the drums. it just. feels intense

[@trubianluthier]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MySynthDungeon]

I'm Diggin ..Subbed! Cheers!;-)!

[@SamOlsonBassman]

Look at that hair!

[@UNOUN8]

I'd be curious to see your take on either roger taylor, nick Mason, and/or Stewart Copeland

[@cobb_thedrummer]

Stay tuned for Nick Mason vid coming out this Friday

[@lefty36]

love these breakdowns, how about bill ward from black sabbath?

[@iamgreen2964]

Last time I saw Cobb he had short hairs. I didn't recognize him

[@willrockdesigns]

That was rad. Nice independence with the vocals.

[@theoeklund2840]

It is his birthday today!

[@lerirol]

Trust me, you don't have to go on for a whole day!

[@voidburner8271]

do Egg next

[@yorgoslamprakis1542]

You know JD has featured this video on his Facebook page right?

[@MusicalSavior23]

Do "Universal Mind" by The Doors!

[@terrapin9ify]

It would have been better to mention the 3 on 4 that ends the instrumental section on Light My Fire. It’s also in when the musics over

[@B4NDllKOOT_]

What cymbals do you use

[@nationstationmusic227]

what about keith moon too around 1:00

[@pinksky4801]

Hey if ya ever want to lay down some covers, I got you on vocals.

[@humbertosandoval55]

Could you cover the style of Spencer Dryden?

[@davidperez5089]

Hey you can't say higher!!! We Made a deal! How daré u?!🤣nice vid. Do GB!

[@jonnymoka]

How come you never say good morning? That will definitely change with age

[@elforeigner3260]

Is it me or John Densmore drums always sounded so weak on record! No matter how hard he beat those skins, there was no punch at all!
