★ Rope (Foo Fighters) ★ Drum Lesson | How To Play Drum Solo (Taylor Hawkins)

[@DrumsTheWord]

I wish I'd done more than take on this...I was so out of time with the click. I hope that you guys can do better. Do as I say, not what I do...or something like that :D

[@DrumsTheWord]

By the way, I was recording on physical tape at this point. I would have to unplug, rewind the tape, and then check that what I played was in time. I was very new to this. It was a simple life!

[@Thadleon]

@@DrumsTheWord it is great man! Thanks a lot! You just save my next rehearsal!

[@tiredmornings3510]

Every time we add this song back to the list- I HAVE to come back and watch this video. Thank you for the thorough explanation and play through. Sounds awesome.

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thank you, Dylan. I appreciate that!

[@wilfredpease9785]

I’m doing this piece tomorrow for my grade 7 trinity exam and u have helped so much. Thank you

[@DrumsTheWord]

Good luck, Wilfred. Let us know in this thread how you do! Rob

[@wilfredpease9785]

www.DrumsTheWord.com I got a merit thanks to you! I’ve been busy with other things but I learnt this song in a short space of time and got a distinction on this piece! When it got to this bit I remembered the fills and nailed it. Thanks so much for your help.

[@akircali]

You're an awesome drummer and teacher man, thank you so much for such a detailed lesson!

[@DrumsTheWord]

Haha, that's a great joke. I also have a tip someone told me once; "if you make a mistake once then repeat it, now it's no longer a mistake" :)

[@sifugurusensei]

Does getting married count? Luckily I never got hitched so that wasn't a mistake.

[@patrykkelley3860]

Hey Man! I have been looking for this solo for ever. I also appreciate you not cutting the mistakes out of the videos. It makes you seem more human, and that you are learning along with us. Thanks again! :)

[@younghatter]

This guy's such a nice guy!

[@777Dsanchez]

Awesome

[@josephnarkin5357]

Dude, I had NO CLUE how to go after this solo before watching this, now I have it, all be it sloppy for now. Can't thank you enough!

[@normityyppi1]

Never seen a better drum teacher in youtube :)

[@DrumsTheWord]

@NorthBroadcast Good question! I prefer electronic drums to record because it's simply easier. They're also perfectly tuned every time, as if by magic ;) You can't beat (no pun intended) the feel and sound of real drums though! Rob

[@novahex4209]

Had to come back and re-learn after Taylor's passing. Awesome video mate 💙

[@Deadleg]

Fantastic teacher, thank you very much!

[@DrumsTheWord]

@Obersteirer Thanks, mate! :)

[@BlamePharis]

Thanks for yet another extremely helpful video! Now, to find a video lesson on pulling the same faces Taylor Hawkins does :D

[@JozeeWalz]

I have been learning this song on the drums and this is the best drum tutorial on this song on KZbin, and your explanations are very clear. Thanks!

[@halpwr]

You are a spectacular teacher, probably the best I've ever seen

[@mynameismudist]

Thanks man, Gracias!

[@DrumsTheWord]

@boardwalkrules Hehe, nice video quote! ;) Yeah, I'm seriously considering this song for a lesson...especially the drum solo sections!

[@rhythmantic]

Rob, thanks so much for this lesson and your generosity in sharing your knowledge. Good tips on dealing with "so-called" mistakes and continuing on, boy am I familiar with that one. There's a joke: "if you repeat a mistake, then it becomes jazz!" :D

[@hectorminchaca2171]

Great lesson! Thanks!!

[@DrumsTheWord]

Glad you enjoyed, Hector!

[@liamaube2810]

Thanks so much bro this helped a lot

[@lozdrums7476]

Really well explained , thank you

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thank you!

[@headbanginCJ]

This is great, already knew the song except for the solo bit in which I always left out the crash but you're a really good teacher just in the way you are - not too serious but not too laid back!

[@Testbild77]

great, u are awesome!!

[@Centerpieceofmind]

THANK YOU!

[@Hensomat]

thx so much for your work! :)

[@beckford36]

Well explained, good lesson!

[@DrumsTheWord]

Glad you liked the lesson and thanks!

[@DrumsTheWord]

@Arigatex You took the words right out of my mouth, dude. Thanks for answering this for me! Good news is that I do already have a short video of me playing one of the grooves from Dance of Eternity. Just type "Dance of Eternity drum lesson" into the KZbin search box and I should come up. It's not a full drum lesson but at least it's something. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! Rob

[@TheNayinator]

I'm a 12 year old drummer and heading for my grade 6 soon, your lessons really help me! Thanks Rob :)

[@sebastiancaveromendieta1577]

Thanks master

[@DrumsTheWord]

Too much! Thank you!

[@sifugurusensei]

Wish I had a drumset like yours Rob. My foot pedals flops everwhere like a fish.

[@bob133y]

Hey mr drums the word I think your vids are pretty cool. I was just wondering what electric drumset and amp you have and possibly A link to those if its not too much trouble, keep up the great work.

[@jackdrummer04]

@DrumsTheWord See the fa da le dump is that the same fill used in the song "These Days" off the foo fighters new album Wasting Light?

[@RonSissons]

Thanks for the lesson. It helped tremendously. I cannot seem to get the crash on the fa de le dump, so I leave the crash out. Otherwise, great. Do yknow what Taylor does coming out of the chorus?

[@gkc25]

can you please do a tutorial on "Dance of Eternity" or "A Nightmare to Remember" by Dream Theater?

[@DrumsTheWord]

@Dissabloth Cheeky :)

[@rhythmantic]

Yes, that's right. The logic is: "I intended to play that."

[@Arigatex]

@gkc25 as much as we all like that idea, dance of eternity is a real pain to put into tabs not to mention long and everchanging. I don't think he has enough time to put that much time to a single proyect like that...not to mention the youtube video would be like 5 hours long...

[@PhoenixTrinidad]

St some points in the video, you kinda sound like Matt Smith.

[@qb78d]

Could you Email me some sheet music please, that would be much appreciated, many thanks :D

[@jamesji3869]

U should put bloopers

[@duran1590]

if you mess up..... mess up on time! then your audience will never know

[@jsherbie-sohc]

gurning tub thumper

[@calebperez7204]

You kinda remind me of Edward Norton

[@ShukiHara]

Are you john lennon？？

[@Dissabloth]

Mate, your Drum kit sounds awful... Joking, great lesson, i really appreciate the time you dedicated to the video. Greetings from México.
