Great video, you're always so good at breaking this stuff down! The whole first AAF album is awesome and full of drumming goodness

[@DrumsTheWord]

Thank you, Christopher. Glad I could help out!

[@iheartcomps]

the drumming in this song is absolutley phenomenal the part starting at 2:30 and beyond is some of the most beautiful drumming ive ever heard

[@LyndaWhite-ju1gj]

Once again I had to go look up the song (I know I’m old) and there is a whole bunch of things going on with the drums and would tuff to figure out without you coaching us through it Rob.

[@tkelly830]

Not to be a broken record but Robs the best, if not one of the best drum instructors on the Tube. Thanks for another gem brother 🤘

[@DrumsTheWord]

That's really kind, Tim. You can play that record as many times as you like! :)

[@mralmighty8381]

Thank You master, nice explanation!

Glad I could help! :)

Very nice tutorial, helps me a lot because i love the drumming from cosgrove! But i have one question: How do you play these triple hi hat notes in the verse "technically" because i dont know how to play these that fast. It seems that the first two notes are more silent than the last one, is there like any kind of hand technique that makes it easier to play these notes with one Hand like Michael does?

[@jackhill9234]

Came here hoping to see that iconic herta fill in verse 2

[@DrumsTheWord]

It's in there! :) There's also another Herta fill that occurs later in the song included in this lesson as well. Hope you enjoy!

www.DrumsTheWord.com unfortunately my snare drum head split a few weeks ago and i havent been able to get a new one! Soon as i get it you bet i’ll be learning this!

[@henrypotter31]

What kit are you usinh?

[@anshulchadha123]

I'm so confused by how many versions there are of this song. This is different to a couple of other drum tabs i've seen (which are all different to each other) and is also different to the version that MJ's drummer did on Drumeo. Any advice?

[@DrumsTheWord]

This is the "Alien Ant Farm" version of the song. You can find it on KZbin.

[@anshulchadha123]

Ah, i was being a bit dim. Does anybody know where i can find the sheet music for the original?
