Seven Days By Sting On Drums - Learn To Play Colaiuta's Grooves | Drum Lesson By Chris Hoffmann

[@krioni86sa]

Your channel is better than Drumeo when explaining things

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

Thank you so much 🙌🏼🥁

[@robroymacgregor7279]

Vinnie is an incredible drummer and a Fine Soul ...

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

Yes Rob 🙌🏼

[@gerardoamaro6248]

Your Chanel is the best. The way you teach is awesome!!! I’m a Mexican very fan of your work guys. Keep going!!!

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

Thank you 🙌🏼🥁✨ all the best to you Gerardo

[@robertosilveira2384]

Best and most detailed breakdown of this masterpiece !! Congratulations Mr. Chris Hoffmann, you are an incredible drummer! Thank you for this lesson and for the inspiration!!

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

You‘re welcome Roberto 🙌🏼🥁

[@neekondrums]

Beautiful breakdown of this challenging track. For people like me (drummers who don't have the expertise or extra time/patience to do the in depth analysis ourselves), this sort of thing is invaluable to learn drum parts I wouldn't ordinarily have the time to learn. I'd love something like this for the Jawbox song "Chinese Fork Tie". I understand it when I'm listening to it, but as soon as I try to play it, it all falls apart.

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

Thank you 🥁🙏🏼

[@c3N3q]

Man... Jawbox! The last time I listened to them was 20 years ago. I looked that song up, it's in 6/8, so like here but count to 6, not to 5. I'd skip the intro and start from after the bass joins, it's much easier to feel and count the 6s. Once you figure it out you'll figure out the rest.

[@iwillfall]

Integrating the splashes!! What a great way of putting it ! Thank you for helping me decipher those accents, I have really struggled over the last few weeks and it is finally clicking! Regards !

[@johnrobinson8323]

Can you imagine Sting bringing this song to the studio and having to come up with something to play. Vinnie nailed it and then some. Hec I'm having a hard time just to play it. Amazing. 🥁❤️

[@lanceschultz7132]

Absolutely best breakdown of this grove. Thanks.

[@babydaddy8224]

I’m wearing earphones and those drums sound amazing!!!!!!!!! I can’t believe how musical and separated those Tom’s sound. Well done

[@rod-drummer7262]

Great lesson, excellent explication !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I simply cannot overstate the brilliance of this lesson.

Love this breakdown, very clean, to the point and easily digestible ! Thanks so much for posting 🙏

Thank you 🙏🏼 😊

[@dustymoon1]

One of the best studio tracks ever!

[@JuankOsorio]

The best instructional video that I’ve seen. Thanks!!!

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

Thank you so much Juank!

[@chrishanosh927]

Superb

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

Thanx Chris 🙌🏼

[@mikegoggins9758]

Thank you so much for doing this! Your breakdown of figuring out the drum parts is stellar! Your approach and methods are fantastic! Keep them coming.👍🙏😊✌️🥁

I am speachless. Thank you!

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

I‘m glad you could type. I appreciate it Jean 😉

[@brianmcguire5175]

While personally for myself I've transcribed this and broke this down for myself somewhile ago... I couldn't even today imagine myself breaking this down for my own students as well as this gentleman does. Boy, even if his break down didn't alter my own findings, he altered how best I could teach it and explain it. A teacher of teachers is the value of this video. Atleast for me! I've no problem sending any students who request a lesson in this tune and it's odd meter, poly rhythm concepts to this video and this guys explanation. I'm impressed

[@JulianFernandez]

nicely done!

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

Thank You Julian 🙏🏼🥁

[@benparnell1242]

Your breakdown of the polyrythm section at the end is excellent. Thank you!

[@thibodaux3424]

I remember the days before KZbin where you had to listen and transcribe these things yourself. Now it seems like you just find guys like Chris online that do all the hard work for you. I guess that's both a good and bad thing for your development.

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

Thanks 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@isaacleedrums]

Ok boomer

[@jonathancant2031]

Vinnie is an amazing drummer - Do a drum sound video on Larry Mullen Jr

[@Mudge07]

Always a relief to have the score explained as it’s played rather than an approximation from a poor drum sheet. I’ve seen some that have a second kick within the bar and accordingly throws the whole rhythm mechanics out. Excellent focus on hi-hat accents shows this is using rudiments in an independent way with constant and varied separation from the core time signature; yes that Vinnie ‘feel’ is where you realise if you’ve ‘got it’ or just keeping time. Sting continuing with a more subtle ballad with all the chops Mr C behind the kit, can bring.

[@mnsr.gustav4933]

Probably the best lesson on topic out there! Thanks guys! wouldn't have done it without you!

[@adrbrunowski9385]

So cool, to see this song in tutorial! I remeber when I heard it first time as a teenager and thought if I could play this would be incredible... After many, many years I still can't, but now I found this video 😛👍 Where is most incredible part at the end of song with crazy toms fills? 😢

[@giladmusic]

awesome !!! really excellent video, thank you

[@saracinesca9864]

Thank you very much!

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

You‘re welcome Sara 🙌🏼

[@saracinesca9864]

@@ChrisHoffmannTube I like very much this video! I tried to play this song several years ago,because I was especially attracted from this song.. but I had never found an instructional video about it, and I really like yours, I find it really beautiful and useful and thanks again!

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

@@saracinesca9864 Very cool. If you happen to record it some day, please tag me so that I can watch it :)

[@saracinesca9864]

​@@ChrisHoffmannTube I don't think to do a video of my drum exercises,because I'm not a professional,sorry! :D I am only a passionate! I will use your video for my exercises of the future,I love this song,and Vinnie Colaiuta is a legendary great master! Maybe his figure frightens me, in fact, because he plays very difficult rhythms, with an impeccable touch, for a self-taught drummer like me! And I've never seen any explanations from him regarding this piece, either. But you, here, make everything easier, thank you! :) Goodbye! ps.I have a basic set,composed by a Crash and a Ride. Instead of the Splash, I use a Crash (UFIP Vibra Series,17")

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

@@saracinesca9864 that’s awesome Sara. I‘m sure you‘ll make it sound great 🙌🏼

[@bonielllaneza2137]

Gran consejo final. Gracias. ❤❤❤

You‘re welcome 🥁👍🏼

[@francobertoldi1673]

excellent my friend! thank you a lot!

[@nealsausen4651]

Chris, can you make this score available as a transcription on PDF from beginning to end that would be great if you can make it available

[@lanceschultz7132]

Excellent instruction. Especially for those who learn buy seeing. Thanks!

[@Loudjazz]

one of the best of billions lessons on 7days

[@c3N3q]

Great job explaining! I believe there's one more tricky thing in the chorus, where the bell of the ride cymbal goes over the bar. Definitely subscribing 👍

[@aarondynamic]

This is a really good lesson. Super informative. Thank you!

[@jarrep05]

Very nice. Except those splashes with hihat triplets, he plays it all with one hand.

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

You‘re right. I just felt this sticking would be convenient to play 😊

[@Keepmelevel]

But the outro at the very end of the song is really amazing with the drum fills and exquisite stick control.

[@philipmcevoy7206]

Excellent break down Chris thanks for posting this

[@marcoandreuccetti2746]

Very nice work

[@NusultanTuljakbaj]

Thank you so much. I wanted to learn this for so long 🙏

[@benyboyone]

hello, first of all congratulations on your drumming. then I wanted to know if you produce your scores and if you sell them?

[@thorwaldvandertooren2566]

very clearly explained :)

[@scernik]

the genius is include all this in a song

[@clasesdepercusion]

Thanks a lot!

What is the metronome software you are using. Looks like numbers 1,2,3 4, 5. Seems to work well.

[@celioferreira3893]

Muito bom!

[@mathis_remy]

We still wait for BMTH pack release guys

[@neworleansbeats]

It amazes me that you've actually figured out all the different parts but you have no feel for the grooove, but thanks for figuring this out

[@user-vp1tw9ck1o]

Soooooo Sweeeeeett!!!

[@steveandres4558]

Love your videos and how you break down songs. Great job! What software do you use for your music notation?

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

thank you steve. I write the music notation with Sibelius.

[@steveandres4558]

@@ChrisHoffmannTube Thanks Chris!

[@shawnhorton2000]

Are those Noble and Cooley drums??

[@shawnhorton2000]

Fill into first chorus is wrong pretty sure Looking at the official sheet music now

[@user-nw8eq3tz2s]

Tell me where you get backing tracks without drums. I also want to find Seven days without drums

[@flowride4076]

There's an app called Moises where you can remove the drums :)

[@jackhammer_au9961]

Very nice breakdown on a rather challenging drum track. Well done!

[@ChrisHoffmannTube]

Thank You Jack 🙏🏼🥁

[@nealsausen4651]

Can you please make available the complete transcript of Vinnie Colaiuta’s Drum part for thu song maybe on a PDF file That would make perfect sense so we could take the transcription the note by note, transcription of videos, playing and study at looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
