In this free video drum lesson, I want to teach you the drum solo intro to the song “Money For Nothing” by Dire Straits, featuring the drumming of Terry Williams.
I recorded the full song lesson for this track a while ago now (check it out here), but I purposely left out the drum solo intro as I thought it was just a little too random and tricky to read…BUT, my followers over on my Facebook Page have asked that I teach them this most classic of intros…so I’m happy to oblige 🙂
I explain how I split this solo up into six parts in the video below, and also why…partly because I didn’t have a couple of hours to record the perfect take in one go if I’m honest with you. Anyway, all of the notes are correct, it’s just a case of taking each lick and working on connecting them over time…no pun intended.

I don't care what anybody anybody says this is a tough one if you learn to play it , your a killer! And I'll say you can be a drummer or better said a percussionist!

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thank you, John. Glad you enjoyed the lesson!

[@achievementbird2641]

John Payne I’m 3/6 parts through this now. I’d say 4 being the hardest, 5 and 6 fairly manageable. So hopefully I can call myself a killer soon

[@MikeLuke]

Simply love the way how you teach that stuff, it’s always easy to understand! Thanks for this, Rob. Great one

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thanks kindly, Mike!

He ends the intro Me: dies inside

[@marcelfranssen]

Although Terry Williams was Dire Straits' drummer at the time, it was told that the album Brothers In Arms ánd Money For Nothing were played by Omar Hakim. It was said that Terry could'nt get the right feel for the song, so Omar was brought in for the job. But Terry played it live indeed! Great video by the way, thanks a lot!

[@JUANARCOSLOPEZ]

Parece ser que es cierto, que Omar grabó las canciones del álbum en dos días, pero según afirma esta fuente, la intro de Money for nothing es de Terry. De cualquiera de las formas, se me cae un mito.

[@JuanRodriguez-gg2qz]

This is great! Love your videos.

[@DarrenThompson]

That was amazing - many thanks for the lesson! )))

[@DrumsTheWord]

You're welcome, Darren. Thanks!

[@johnpayne6860]

Just a thank you for breaking the solo down, this is absolutely nothing that is easy, to play, but I am catching the beats, now, great tutorial!

[@DrumsTheWord]

That's very kind John, and I'm glad to help!

[@ColinH.Outdoors]

i love what you do and especially with this song it would have taken me hours just to know a bit of this song. keep it up;

[@johnpayne6860]

Right on my friend, it's tough. sometimes I can and sometimes if I totally concentrate, yes.

[@johnpayne6860]

Damn it, took me this long to get it, one year and a half, getting old! You drummers listen to this, practice, and it's still tough, even though, song is old the drumming and rudiments , are timeless, if you can master these, you can break down anything!

[@tkelly830]

I forget the model number but it's a Roland kit. It was their top of the line, at the time.
