Huge Springsteen fan here and drummer 35 years. I’ve played it many different ways over the years. But never perfect. More “Immigrant” style as you mentioned, and usually with a 16th note snare fill or a roll to come out of it. Thanks for all your videos. I definitely learn a lot from you. Feel free to do more Bruce videos! LOL

[@Busbybeats]

You're close but the pattern is quite a bit different. Try this for the hand pattern, R on hat/L on snare: RLR LRRL RLRL LRRL (bar one) RLR LRRL RLRR LRLR (bar two). The kick pattern follows a lot of the right hand through the pattern to create the broken 16ths that are being played. The count would be 1e& 2e&a 3e&a 4e&a for both bars.

[@Atlas65]

As soon as you played 02:22 I thought of Scentless Apprentice, before you even mentioned it later in the video

[@froloffanton]

One more crazy moment the original Ernerst Carter drum track has happens at the end of the crescendo to the final chorus. Max plays the triplet fill with basic RLRLRL RLRLRL sticking on the toms, but Carter actually does it in a blast beat way with kick, snare and floor tom all three hitting at the same time.

[@RickyD.03]

Mike if you want to like do more Springsteen videos I’m all here for it!! Max’s drum part in Candy’s Room (especially live) is hardcore, simple but takes endurance. Also if you ain’t heard Bruce’s epic guitar solo in Prove It All Night (Phoenix 1978) then ya gotta check that out. He could REALLY play back then!

[@jmillen69]

Mikes fanboying on Springsteen lol.. But seriously love watching your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@anthonyglennmollicasr.425]

Your drum kit sounds amazing! Great video

[@MrSheymie]

Possible also that the absolute awesome drummer who played might not be able to replicate it exactly either? Skill + experience + genius + talent + feel + the moment. Like a conversation. Can never be replicated exactly. Maybe. I'm not a drummer though.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

From what I've heard of Ernest, he can easily replicate it live.. :)

[@MrSheymie]

@@TheArtofGuitar Awesome. I cant even get my ears around it.

[@craigcavaliere6744]

Thanks for reading my comment about Max and Boom.

[@HannahCope88]

🤘🏻🔥Love this! Congrats on 891k Subscribers! Can totally hear how it sounds like that Nirvana song.

[@jimglass3106]

The thing at 4:51 sounds like the intro to Ghost by +LiVe+. To me,at least. Great interesting breakdown and analysis!

[@JackJohnson-wg1ye]

That Scentless Apprentice beat is my favorite beat from Nirvana. As a matter of fact, on the MTV Unplugged Nirvana album, Dave Grohl plays a bit of it after Lake of Fire. Such a satisfying groove.

[@1983electric]

Was going to say that it sounded like Scentless Apprentice before you said lol

[@JayRod711]

The double kick thing had me thinking of how awkward it is to do the double kick with the high-hat grooving from the main verse groove in Tool's Sober.. never could quite get it.. you should do a breakdown of that😬

[@Krullmatic]

I want that Explorer!

[@wooferdevlin3571]

Hey Mike, thanks for the call out of my call out. I think Bruce asked both Gary and Max to play more simply. Prolly why Max left it alone. Bruce was becoming a stadium act and subtle things get lost. Bruce just wants power and drive. A tune from Wild and the Innocent album, Kittys Back, has a middle 8 break, I bass and drum and have no idea what Gary and orig. drum. Vinnie Lopez are doing. If you got a minute... Btw, DWs are PHAT, and look it!! Is that an Axxplosion Sabian? Sustain for days. Thanks, dude, great stuff. :>}

[@WillFlyTheLightingGuy]

Max could do it if he dedicated the time. I think it’s just not worth it to him because he doesn’t have anything to prove and he’s probably not a stickler for replicating the album. But as a Conan loyalist for over 30 years, I feel pretty confident that I know Max’s skill level pretty well.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

He could for sure pull it off.

[@alessandroh10]

"Nirvana" part for me sounds more like John Bonham from then the levee breaks.

[@mikegonzalez3079]

When I hear the original recording, it makes me feel like it is played by alternating/crossing hands during the triplets and the hats only follow the accents on the bass drum...

[@TwoandaHater]

he might be alternating hands on the hihats? like a cross over approach from normal to open hand (think portnoy in the hihat section of Dance of Eternity).

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I don't think so. I saw him play it with another band and he kept it close-handed.

[@petenas4404]

tought was bd with open hh !

[@dfisk79]

It’s just basically a paradiddle pattern with the the kick following the right hand.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

No it starts like a paradiddle but the hands don't follow that for the last part. RLRRLRRL

[@dfisk79]

@@TheArtofGuitargot it. That’s a rudimental thing we used to do back in Drumline. Paradiddle with a kind of inverted paradiddle. I think there’s a name for it now but I can’t remember what it’s called.

[@bryandraughn9830]

I'll never understand 18 people on stage to play a rock song. It sounds like a train wreck.

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Fun video

[@MNskins11]

Interesting

[@JeredtheShy]

I suspect that the key to Carter's style is that it's not a jazz thing. It's not a rock thing, either. It's gospel chops. White Christian music is often painfully simplistic. Black Christian music makes drum fills so compelling and casually complex that people end up building entire genres of music off just those two bars of Amen Brother by The Winstons, a gospel act from way back who invented breakbeat by accident while they were busy praising the Lord. There's a LOT going on in black gospel drumming, it takes serious chops to play that stuff.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Gospel Chops are scary! Mega-high level and it's like they're hardly trying.

[@DWH072]

I wonder why they used Ernest just on the one song?

[@nickpruett8022]

I play it exactly like the record every time it is played. Not that difficult, if the band can keep their shit together.

[@CompleteProducer84]

2:23 reminds me of Scentless Apprentice by Nirvana (the very opening drum part) And 2:44 reminds me of Daddy by Korn (right before Jonathan Davis says “it’s alright”)

[@johnjjohningtoniii2439]

Why limit the Born to Run content? You could be the Born to Run guy.

[@tommynikon2283]

Apparently his son Jay doesn't have the same limitation!

[@marty1619]

When you isolate it it sounds a little like "scentless apprentice"... ah wait, you just showed that!!!

[@virginiamagill1881]

I feel like you are accenting the snare hits too much in the final run through. I think the snare hits are more ghost notes. All the accents are on the bass drum and hi hat in syncopation (as mentioned above - just basically paradiddles with one stick on the snare and one on the hi-hat with the bass drum following the hi-hat hits). Kind of seems like breaking it down that much makes it more complicated, maybe?

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I am but remember too that the drum tones are so different. His snare has that awesome 70's puffiness to it and it makes his hits less sharp through the mix. I should have put a damper on my snare like my wallet or a towel or something.

[@bobmortimerisweird]

To me it sounds way more like Scentless Apprentice than it does immigrant song.

[@corporalclegg914]

it may’ve been something Boom used to do behind the kit that he worked into a soon-to-be-famous Title Track. us live-performing guitarists & bass players always have a certain lick we play while we’re setting up, sound checking and/or warming up…play with the same dude(s) long enough & you’ll know. noodlers/strummers play the same crap in-store on every Guitar Center instrument they pick up. but, badass drummers are still drummers & we never know what they’re about to do; they may show up to rehearse, join or start a cult, flee from custody, get super in to gardening, etc…

[@cdprince768]

I looked up a drum cover and the first comment from years ago was about this exact fill. How did this guy do? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZPXZKFsltp4rdU

[@jeremymcnelley4419]

Mandela effect - The song is actually SCENTless Apprentice. I bought that album the day it came out and have listened to it countless numbers of times and always thought it was Senseless! 😂💯

[@RichardArchibald-jk7ms]

Bruce fan, not a drummer. Everything you did looks hard to me 😆

[@EastyyBlogspot]

Now try bleed from meshuggah lol

[@gnote6850]

Bruce really really can't play, can barely sing. Uughh

[@TheArtofGuitar]

What? Of course he can, and he can play and sing for like 4 hours straight! hehe

[@theritchie2173]

You really, really can't troll, can barely make sense. Uughh, must do better.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

He's a surprisingly good lead player for a songwriter. He's also got some songs that are not a picnic to sing.

[@richpond9839]

Not only can he really really sing and play but one of our country's greatest songwriters and lyricists, on a par with Dylan, Hank Wiiiliams, and Woody Guthrie. Sad that some can't appreicante him, but that's the world we live in.

[@morejelloplease]

Familiar with the song, but never paid attention to that drum part, as a wannabe drummer of 40 years i hear Pantera Dream Theater Rush and Opeth and maybe a bit of Toto, actually pretty easy to play LOL.
