Spin Doctors - Two Princes - Aaron Comess (Drum lesson) by Kai Jokiaho

[@somericanguy]

the tuning to that snare is just...magical

[@misfit2022]

Snare sounds tight, nice.

[@asqrss3233]

I wish that all of the drum cover can be show just like this one!! Exelent example. Don't play more don't play less but play what is right. Thank you man!

[@KaitsuDrums]

asqrss3233 Thanks!

[@humanimal649]

the snare sounds awesome,your drumming is so clear,thank you for the transcription and for the play along,this is called a complete job.

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks again!!

[@glennpaulmusic]

Your tuning and recording is perfect... let alone the playing! Nicely done.

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks very much Glenn!

[@MrTravisBickleJnr]

Brilliant. Great vid and excellent playing 👍

[@MrTravisBickleJnr]

And your drums are sounding mega

[@GregVit]

Nailed it. My cover band wants to do this song so I researched it on youtube and found your excellent video. I like how you separated out the parts first. Your lesson is the exact resource I needed, thanks!

[@grayeddolls]

Holy moly! You make it look SO easy! Great job, Kai!

[@cyc4usa706]

I used to restart this song over and over back when it first came out... such a slick goove

[@timothyblue]

I'm learning this song in my band. Great tutorial. You sound like the record, the tuning and playing is spot on!

[@arturofernandez6088]

Great lesson! Thanks 👍🏻

[@rad0947]

This is sick. I’ve been drumming for little over 4 years and I think it’s awesome some of the bass patterns and snare hits. But I’m definitely gonna work on this in spare time when I’m not working on drum stuff with my teacher. Your kit sounds spot on.

[@5150Reaper]

Im 9 years late. But this vid still holds up.

[@herbiewilson1239]

Man, if the Spin Doctors ever need a fill in drummer, I think they need look no further. Well done!

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thank you Herbie :))

[@kdal]

You gave me desire to play, thank you !

[@KaitsuDrums]

Great to hear this! Thanks!

Thanks this is amazing!!! love the layout of it all and I'm going to try and put this to work. Grew up loving this tune! Great work!

[@DarrenX9]

A big THANK YOU for this! Excellent lesson! I'm slowly working through it the best I can... a great way to practice my doubles and ghost notes!

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks very much!

[@drummerjin]

[@analisedefundamentos5006]

Excellent class. I got these moves by ear some years ago, but if I had seen this video before, I could have had less troubles!!! Nice video!

[@cleipotzful]

I love your snare sound man so perfect for my taste :) BTW it was awesome drumming

Great teaching style.

[@MARKWHITE007]

Damn dude!! You did a great job.

[@KaitsuDrums]

Wow! Thank You Mark for taking time to check out my video. If you need a drummer sub for Spin Doctors, call me :)

[@MARKWHITE007]

@@KaitsuDrums You know what's funny? We did use subs for Aaron a few times and you still did a better job on this song.

[@KaitsuDrums]

@@MARKWHITE007 Great!!!! Yeah, I chatted with Aaron and he said that Spin Doctors only want Aaron for the drum chair. Anyway, I'm ready if something happens :)

[@JTAMIGUEL]

Excelente Maestro!!!! muy buen tempo y prolijidad en todo los rudimentos. Saludos José Miguel de Salta Argentina

[@leandromagalhaes4407]

tnank you for the lesson.

[@JaimeBiosensor]

good snare sound

[@MYEVILTWIN1000]

Man youve got that Brady snane cranked just likes Aaron has his and your groove is right in the pocket, so creamy

[@rogeriodiniz4975]

Esse é nível avançado 🇧🇷 this is advanced level. Como um batera disse, você faz parecer tão fácil 😮

[@rogeriodiniz4975]

Like a drummer said you make it look so easy

[@JCYoo]

Thank you for the lesson. This is incredibly helpful! And, I can't believe Mark White commented on your video. Cheers.

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks for watching J.C. and yes, it's great to have the Great Mark White check out my drum tutorial :)

[@MarcosPaulo-jh3ld]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 show!

[@bernardoyacono]

SOunds AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks Bernardo!

[@franzfranzen9409]

Great video! But the beat drives me crazy. I can play the snare beat and the bass drum beat. But I can't get them together.

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks Franz! Yes, it's a challenging beat to learn, some difficult combinations between the left hand and bass drum. Just take it really slow and repeat the difficult passages :)

[@pumpalBo]

Thanks - that helped !!!

[@KaitsuDrums]

Great!

[@canodrummerbjrn9292]

Kaitsu how about a lesson on Rossana?

[@Clash_CT_Rocker69]

The drum intro is classic for all whom were listened to the Spin Doctors debut album, but what surprises me is the almost identical drum sound.. I don't know "how deep" this guy went (sampling, because there is enough "meat to cook".. ) , but I think its snare and kick generic sound and correctly recorded properly tuned snare..Maybe two snare mics (upper and lower mic, like SM57x2) and good ears for proper results..On the other hand, it is possible that this sound is recorded with minimal equipment.. Anyway, great job mate 🥁

[@ambizas]

Awesome. Your kit sounds EXACTLY like Aaron's. Not sure if you use his same set-up/heads etc. but, nice bro.

[@KaitsuDrums]

Alberto Ambizas Thanks Alberto! Aaron also used Brady drums on that Spin Doctors song so the sound is pretty close to original recording.

[@MYEVILTWIN1000]

I can play one or the other but I can't combine the Kick pattern in with the ghost pattern

[@hijodetupa]

02:20

[@agentgrandbrother]

Any advice on how to get better at hand feet coordination for grooves?

[@KaitsuDrums]

Emmy, just practise very slowly to get more accurate and you don't have to learn the whole groove right away. Break it down for smaller parts. And a lot of repeats :)

[@agentgrandbrother]

Thank you! :)

[@diegodee7364]

Very helpful lesion.No boring blabla like most of the other "teachers"do. Exercises only :) :) Thank you very much for the lot of time you use to create a premium, free lesson to us. Is it possible to tune a 14x6,5 ply Brady sounding near the Snare size you use?

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks :) You can tune all the Brady snares very high for that cracking sound. But I like to tune my 14x6,5 Brady Jarrah ply to a medium pitch and use shallower drums for a higher tuning.

[@romainschindler9475]

How did you get that amazing snare sound ?

[@KaitsuDrums]

I don't remember exactly but there's a lot of compression, high tuned snare and gated reverb if I remember correctly.

[@romainschindler9475]

Thanks so much ^^ your videos are so cool !

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks very much!

[@CameronBartholomew]

Practice timestamp - 1:41

[@p.m-audio]

did you record this with the two firepods from PreSonus ?

[@KaitsuDrums]

Yes that's right. I currently have UAD Apollo x8p & Audient ASP880.

[@Joesfosterdogs]

you capture the snare (drum) sound great which makes your vid's unique. the snare is amazing. playing slow will kick any drummers butt...great discipline. really allows you to get inside the pocket when speed up. do u use a metronome during this?

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks Joe! Yes I always try to make my snares sound good :) I used click when recording this video to get the right tempos.

[@adama.4622]

+Jeff Porcaro Groove Master - he has like 20 snare drums in that room, one for every song or wha?

[@KaitsuDrums]

Actually about 35 snares :)

[@Joesfosterdogs]

some collect action figures, Kaide toy snares that really work! lol

[@Justinegallows]

So there are two ghost notes on top of the two bass drum hits?

[@ryz1001]

Hey man! Been watching your stuff. Nice work! I'm about to do some covers with my new GoPro and in the baby steps of editing etc. How did you get the separate bass drum video in the bottom left of this video?

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks Ryhan! I'm not an editing guru but it's "picture in picture" feature. I use Final Cut for editing, I think you can't use this with iMovie but might be wrong :) Try to watch KZbin tutorials (that's what I do when I have forgotten how to edit).

[@ryz1001]

Yeah, exactly what I've been doing. I think Final Cut is the way forward I've heard from many sources. Thanks for the info. Look forward to seeing more of your uploads!

[@ozziep123]

Loved it! My Brady Jarrah Ply will be here sometime next week. Can't wait. Can you tell me if you added any reverb or outboard mixing to get the drums to sound so close to Aaron's sound? We use a Presonus Mixer and I have never played a full Brady Kit before. Just curious if they will sound this good out of the box!

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks Ozzie! Yes there's reverb on snare and even kick drum. Gongratulations for your Brady!

[@danlatham4569]

Awesome I assume that's a Brady 14 x 5 Jarrah?

[@KaitsuDrums]

Dan Latham Drums Yes it’s 14x5,5 Jarrah block

[@isaaccoto3599]

3:42

[@georgearroyo2218]

Can I ask where you do your lessons from, USA or Europe?

[@KaitsuDrums]

Hi George! I haven't teached much lately but I've been thinking about doing Skype drum lessons in a near future if somebody is interested. I live in Finland Europe and the time zone is quite different compared to United States.

[@grandre3464]

I have the intro down perfectly, but ghost note patterns almost always trip me up 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@stuartbarrett7885]

Nice playing! What Brady Kit are you using and what sizes?

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks Stuart! It's a Brady Spotted Gum kit #005 and the sizes are 10x7, 12x8, 14x12, 16x14 and 22x18. The snare is a Brady 14x5,5 Jarrah Block.
