War Pigs, Black Sabbath - Trinity Rock and Pop Drums Grade 8

[@dance1211rec]

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.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

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.

smooth criminal is more difficult then this and fire and its a grade 6 lmao

[@sirbenjaminthebold3943]

Noah Pigott I hope not because I’m thinking of doing smooth criminal for my grade 6.

Could you do Seven Days also in grade 8, I really want to see what you will come up with for the solo at the end! Keep up the good work 🥁🤟 ~Daniel

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi Daniel, thanks for watching - yes that'll be coming up very soon man! Stay tuned!

[@lofriedman9250]

The solo at the end is so difficult😵‍💫

[@snowjaguar529]

@@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.

[@jimbrey1138]

Awesome job! Bill Ward would be impressed! Thanks for this - again 😀

[@aykil435]

WOW MIKE nice drumming as always keep up the good work and as always KEEP DRUMMING!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

shabz Thanks man, will do!

[@harryflavell3083]

Always loved the constant 32nd notes throughout this song

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Yep classic drum part!

[@drumdaddy3004]

You improvised waay too much at the end and that made it harder for me to learn the song. But thanks to you I became the best drummer in school and realised why fills are important and how I shouldn't stick to book! Thanks a lot, love from India!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers! I'm following the part from the Trinity Rock and Pop Grade 8 book, you're supposed to improvise at the end! Thanks for watching :)

[@drumdaddy3004]

@@MikeBarnesDrums I didn't really know true improv till I watched this, thanks!

[@bryantaylor9255]

[@ryantan190]

Hey was wondering how helpful is the Soundbrenner Pulse for you when playing these exam pieces?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

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.

[@ryantan190]

Hey was wondering if you could do Schism by Tool from the grade 8 syllabus?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi Ryan, thanks for watching - yes it's on the list, coming soon, cheers!

[@archgod_yt2431]

Holy schnikees! Awesome Mr.Mike! May I ask why you tend to smile sometimes while you're playing? Not meaning to be rude, just wondering.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

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!

[@shivamverma7462]

Very helpful!! Thank you!!

Shivam Verma Cool man, glad it helped!

[@drumistan]

Bar no. 33 to 40 is hihats in book you play ride in it Is this correct...?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Yeah if the book says hi-hat, play hi-hat! Don't have the book to hand but my mistake I'm sure. Cheers for watching and playing attention! 👊🏻

[@orestisstratis3174]

1:39 - 2:00 the groove is on the hi hat not the ride. Nice cover!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Good spot! And cheers man, thanks for watching :)

[@tatelangdon4809]

Ummmm just 1 question the part where it says “Time will tell…” should it be on high hit not on ride?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Yes! Has been pointed out by several others in these comments too. Thanks for watching! :)
