Mike - Will you be doing a full lesson on this song? you've got me this far with all your help and great tutorials. Cheers R

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi Richard, yes! Thanks for watching :)

[@lachlanroberto5160]

a trick : you can watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@londoncaden1967]

@Lachlan Roberto definitely, have been watching on flixzone for months myself :D

[@timrobinson9192]

So many drum covers out there , It's really good to see someone actually enjoying doing it , awesome ! Great job :) 👍👍👍☮☮☮🤘🤘🤘

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

[@halezz2477]

Great cover mike! This is in my opinion the hardest song in grade 5 due to the fast pushes and verse as a tricky hi hat rhythm. But I’m taking this for my exam because it is the coolest song and you have helped a lot!

[@platosin7177]

My neighbours heard me playing this

[@AgainGamingAahan]

Thanks a lot, Mike. Giving my exam next week. Your videos have resulted in me overcoming all these challenges of grade 5.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Great, good luck!

[@amber_4617]

Hy there. Ive been searching for a long time for the sheet music of Riff Raff. Is there any possibillity to share the sheet music? Would be great if anyone has it for me?! Thanks Robin

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi Robin, thanks for watching. This is from Trinity Rock and Pop Drums Grade 5, so the score is available in the Trinity Rock and Pop Grade 5 book! It's available here: www.amazon.co.uk/Trinity-College-London-Drums-Grade/dp/0857366432/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=C2SNKFSWBWB52DTRFEX8 Cheers! Mike :)

[@izzypeck5117]

Hi have you done a full lesson on this song yet because I cant find it if you have,these are a great help to me

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

No, but done a slowed-down practice along version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZech6SAbNmdsKc Thanks for watching :)

[@jack_kirby_2664]

I’m sad I didn’t pick this one now

[@nishugoel5705]

I think its the toughest song in grade 5 is it, Mike?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Could be! Btw here’s my take on song choices for grades: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnezeHptr92rjpo 👊🏻

This video is very useful thanks mike

[@erikthys3911]

16th notes on hihat original?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

It's possible he's playing 8th notes on the trashy hi-hat on the original with an emphasis on the quarter note, it's a little hard to tell. This is a demo version of the Trinity Grade 5 version, where the part specifies quarter notes on the hi-hat, Original is definitely not 16th notes (if you're counting the snare as 2 and 4, which I am and Trinity is!). Cheers

[@shubhamghag1704]

Is it compulsory to lead with the left cymbal always? will that be noted in the exam? also did you play one beat less at the 2:18's fill?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi man, thanks for watching, no that's not compulsory! Not certain what you mean by "one beat less", but no what I played matched the written part - note that there's only only cymbal hit notated at bar 101, unlike the other previous instances where there's a crash with the kick both times on those hits. Cheers!

[@crashdrumschool1]

Yeahhhh 🤘

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

It's a banger ain't it! Love this one, thanks for watching.

[@marcinsobczak2485]

Original Phill rudd and you make it so easy to play, but we know what's going on ;)

Cool, thanks for watching Marcin 👊🏻

[@ryanrobinson2293]

Would you recommend wearing some sort of ear protection for songs like these?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Yes, I use Mixcder Wirless Active Noise cancelling headphones - amzn.to/2n2HTPA (my video review is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4LMiKWmg6tjj6c) I also use Vic firth Drummer's Heaphones - amzn.to/2nTIwuE Cheers Ryan!

I hear 16th notes on the high hat

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

? Mostly a quarter note feel on this one. Thanks for watching

[@bakihanma644]

@@MikeBarnesDrums Yea, quarter note feel but I think he's playing double time on the high hat.

[@martinsamuelsson7561]

Good cover but Phil does not play quarter notes on the hi-hat, he play 8-notes all the way through the song.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi Martin, thanks for watching. As per the title, this video is a demo of the drum part as it appears in the Trinity Rock and Pop Drum Grade 5 book, and I record these videos as a reference for drum students preparing for their exams. The drum parts are sometimes different from the originals, to fit the requirements of the Grade level. You’re right that Phil Rudd plays eighths in the original song. Cheers!
