Hey awesome drummers,
Here is a drum lesson on how to play Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers on drums.
This song was a request from one of our awesome subscribers.
As you know the drums in this song are played by the legendary Chad Smith. One of my old drum teachers (the late Bill Wall) had the pleasure of once doing a drum clinic with him. I remember him saying that Chad had such great dynamic control between his loud notes and his soft notes.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Chad is extremely creative with his writing of drum parts while also not over complicating things. This song is a perfect example of that.
Simple. Creative. Awesome!
Have fun with this lesson...

The equipment we use:
Drums: The drum kit I am playing here on this video is a Mapex Orion. Its a 6 piece drum kit. Tom sizes 10, 12, 14 and 16.
Cymbals: The cymbals are all Zildjian: A series...
Moongel: I am a fan of moongel on all the drums. It dampens the sound and makes it more punchy... If you have a problem with overtones, definitely give it a try...
Microphones: I use Audix microphones
Bass Drum Pedal: The pedal used here is an Axis longboard.
Recording Software: Cubase Elements 10
