For a grade 8 piece, this is much simpler than the other pieces like Sue (or in a season of crime) or The Spirit of Radio. I would've swapped this song for Two Weeks from grade 7.

Hi, thanks for watching! Yes I agree this one would take less time than those songs for the average Grade 8 drummer to put together. But nailing the part it's still a good challenge and there's quite lot of complexity in the part! Cheers.

@@MikeBarnesDrums can you please send the KZbin link for the video of your drum cover of seven days+ the other grade 8 pieces, I can't find them anywhere for some reason, and I really need to see a physical cover to help me with the pieces rather than the soundwise demo, thanks.

Hey was wondering how helpful is the Soundbrenner Pulse for you when playing these exam pieces?
@MikeBarnesDrums6 жыл бұрын
Ryan Tan Hi Ryan, thanks for watching - I’m not using it specifically for playing these exam pieces, I’m just playing to the backing track. But it’s a great tool for practising grooves/fills/rudiments and for working up sections of the songs before playing full speed with the music. Love it! Lovely to be able to feel the pulse and well as hear it! Cheers.

Shawn Ho Yee Jing Cheers Shawn! Why do I smile? Ha because I’m enjoying playing of course! Sometimes when reading these pieces and a drum fill or little moment in the tune catches me by surprise or just is quite cool, it’s hard not to smile involuntary. I love music and playing drums. Cheers!
