Take It Easy, Eagles - Note-For-Note Drum Cover

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Little member request today, really classy bit of playing by one of my favorite drummers, Don Henly, and a great little play-along for anyone at the Grade 2 level or above. Great free chart The Drum Ninja, found here: thedrumninja.com/downloads/ta... Played along to this drumless backing track from Karaoke Version (not free): www.karaoke-version.com/drums... Thanks for watching, Mike :)

Can we have some more Eagles please? 😁 Life In The Fast Lane or Witchy Woman?

[@wannabeadrummer]

Got this on an open mic Mike, love it.

[@stephaniepellow3275]

I absolutely love the constant smile, and how much fun your having Mike!!! Everything about the video was bang on...your smile accented your black outfit, including cap, beard nicely trimmed, and your disappearance INTO the song....was most awesomest!!!!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Ha ha, thanks Stephanie and so glad you dig :)

[@WilliamVogler-c9n]

Cool cover Mike! Fab to listen to AND watch. Looks like I might actually be able to play along to this! Great track too. Keep 'em coming😊

[@christianjam9175]

Genial ... ! Wie immer ..mein Sohn und ich lieben Deine Energie!

[@Coasterdude02149]

Watching drum covers makes me miss my band days, even tho I'm a guitar player. Well, was. Just starting picking it up again last month after almost 30 years. Great job dude 🤘🏻

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers man, thanks for watching! :)

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Ah nice, good luck and lovely that you're playing again.

[@Coasterdude02149]

@@MikeBarnesDrums Thanks , man! I was a stupid ass for ever putting my guitars down in the first place. I wish I never did. That's A LOT of years to make up

[@林静-p9n]

Thanks! ! For uploading this! So fun!

[@sanchez69ification]

Thank you Mike. Love this song. For anyone wanting to learn it as a begining drummer i suggest slow yt speed to 75%

[@gtapp9930]

[@arthurculbertson2692]

That was amazing!! Great playing my bro from across the pond. Simplicity is the essence of complexity.

[@melaniehaefner5981]

so much fun watching you playing 🙂

[@karankailath7154]

Super Mike super

[@jacquelinesmith6184]

Thanks so much for this Mike! I 100% agree about Don Henley's playing. He is my favourite drummer. Looking forward to having a go at this one too.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Jacqueline!

[@ElaineMin]

I loved how you made something simple, felt with the heart and fun. This is great! Thank you for this lovely video Mike!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cool! Thank you for watching and glad you dug 🙏🏻👊🏻

[@ElaineMin]

@@MikeBarnesDrums Mike I don't know why I just can hit properly that intro. I arrive early to the fill vs. the song. The beginning is a weird counting right?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

@@ElaineMin Lots of people get thrown by that - the guitar intro is funkier than you think it is! The big strums are on the "+" of beat 4, not on beat 1! :)

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Unfortunately had to edit out the guitar intro to allow it to stay on KZbin. Hear it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWG9i3uEh610aMk

[@Tikyo510]

bravo ,,,, mike.

[@chrisc958]

Good video, BUT, it would have been nice to have the WHOLE intro to the so the beat count could be established.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi Chris, thanks for watching. I did have the full intro at first, sadly that meant the video was taken down on copyright grounds. Unfortunately removing the intro was the only way YT allowed the video to stay posted. Cheers!

[@ricebum8808]

Love this song, great work Mike

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers man 👊🏻

[@charliegardner1207]

Awesome cover man

[@Pinza7]

He's happy because he's playing drums, better than any pills. 👍

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

So true Neil!

[@markmilligan5180]

Fantastic

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Mark!

[@evanbrehm]

So good much respect! Playing a show in two days and tryna learn the song Lmaoo thx for help! Also mad respect for keeping it more simple because it allowed for the energy to build nicely by the end, that’s hard for drummers to do, so great job dude! Yeww 🤙

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Evan

[@esmcreator2668]

Hey Mike, where is your electric kit?

[@esmcreator2668]

Btw great cover!

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

At home!

[@laibamustafa108]

Love this! Just starting out, do you have tabs for it?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Thanks for watching! Chart linked in the video description (it always is in my vids) :)

[@林静-p9n]

Oh my gosh! Mike! What grade is this?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Not in a syllabus, but like I say in the description and pined comment, great workout for drummers at the Grade 2 level and above 👊🏻

[@alisongibb4726]

I can get the drum beat but the hi hat is going wonky grrr

[@datomczyk]

This is not note for note. Far from it. Way too simplistic.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Thanks for watching - No this is it man, it's a pretty simple part! The only bit this is missing is the full guitar intro, which was cut short due to copyright reasons. Cheers!
