The Train Beat | Country Drumming - Daily Drum Lesson

[@terrytk9398]

Hi Michi - just came across this which although not quite a train beat sees the drummer play a standard jazz ride (swing) pattern on the snare whilst additionally playing light rudiments/figures on sd. He alternates with double time back beat on cymbals & adds a few drags to fill spaces which reinforce the downbeats. I think it’s a nice example of intuitive drumming, very idiosyncratic with a feel that doesn’t lend easily to notation. Your viewers could borrow this strategy to compliment their train beat as this adds variety without compromising the main groove.😀 Hope you enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXiTl4ZqedR6i8U

Very cool.. I am a huge Johnny Cash fan!!! I'll pin this comment to the top, so others see and enjoy it as well!

[@ThomasVedora]

Thank you for your explanation of this groove. I was trying to over complicate it. The groove is simplistic in nature , which where in lies the complication when learning it. The variations examples were awesome. great tutotrial for someone trying to learn this groove. Thank you

[@Ronno4691]

It's...it's...a Ballroom Blitz!!! Terrific variant of this beat also on the B. Bumble and the Stingers Nut Rocker. Another excellent video, Sir.

Are you ready Steve?

[@emiliobosch]

This is a super good quality lesson! I've been researching on train beats, watched quite a few videos and no one broke it down so well. I really appreciated the part where you show "what you want to think when playing this", i.e. how your arms "prepare" for the Moeller movements 🙏

[@gmoney1592]

Really like this groove . Thanks for showing us the correct way to learn it and play it. I like the variations each one changes the feel of it. And your right you hear this beat all the time and it’s definitely time to learn it . Thanks as always good stuff from you !!!

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Hey Gary, that's definitely one every drummer needs in his arsenal.. Thanks for stopping by!

[@terrytk9398]

Once again - played with great feel & strong technique. With the 2 variations it shows the ways in which a small change can become a big change. Most drummers will get a working gig mastering these concepts rather than closing space with 32nd note fills! 😀👍

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Thank you so much, Terry! You are absolutely right.. These small changes go a long way and are so much cooler than high speed chops!

[@waynebrandrick6797]

that snare drum sounds amazing, love it :)

[@kieranhumphreys9331]

Thank you for exposing me to genres I would otherwise probably not learn. Love the video!

[@JK-zo4px]

Wie immer Top. Besten Dank

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Danke dir!

[@baranaltun2019]

Really country is a really tasty genre😂 i wish i’d like to see more videos related to country drumming

[@DailyDrumLesson]

That's what I thought when I made this video ;-)

[@CAVERN1234]

I'm not a drummer but needed to learn this for a track I'm doing. Fantastic lesson very easy to follow for a none drummer. Thanks man best wishes from Liverpool uk

[@mommagic8793]

very nice explanation with variation......thnx

[@DailyDrumLesson]

thanks for watching!

[@mommagic8793]

@@DailyDrumLesson thnx

[@ARDrummer]

Great lesson! It took me a while to get the feel of this back when I learned it originally....I was used to a straight up rock beat, lol

[@DailyDrumLesson]

haha, I know that feeling. The pattern isn't hard at all, but nailing the feeling is!

[@fabienlamour3644]

Thanks to help us to increase our potential!!! Appreciate.

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Thanks for watching and your constant support, Fabien!

[@vagnermateus]

Thanks Man! I am a Brazilian Guitar Player and you help me a lot on my Production Job!!!!

[@arturstanczak4032]

Good job. Thank you.

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Thank you for watching :)

[@shawnwoodley9003]

This is a cool groove just changing the accents changed the feel of the groove.

[@zvensabri2533]

Good lessons thank you .

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Thank you very much!

[@petersenglish]

When the video came on and I heard his German(?) accent, I snickered. What does this German guy know about country music? But he showed me! Abonniert!

[@DrumSpotScuoladibatteriaOld]

Very good job

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Thanks a lot!

[@tcozturk]

Hey bro, Thanks for video.

[@DailyDrumLesson]

My pleasure, bro!

[@ianschafer1704]

Hey Michi! Interesting lesson, I gotta try it! I really like the paradiddle inversion version, it reminded me right away of The Sweet and their song Ballroom Blitz. Thanks! I hope the neighbours like country beats ... :)

[@DailyDrumLesson]

I didn't listen to Ballroom Blitz in years.. Added it to my playlist right away! "What do my neighbours like?" is something every drummer should consider .. haha

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

Wow man, what a killer breakdown! Thank you!

[@apolloeliascreed82]

Nice beat even for church songs, i should try to play it, i think:)))

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Yeah, go and get it! :D

[@robertocoria5575]

Thank you!

[@DailyDrumLesson]

you are welcome!

[@christianfekete]

Great, thank you for sharing!

[@businessconsultant7917]

Very nice lesson. Yep can throw you at first. And as one Commenter said your snare drum sounds fantastic. What kind is it? Please keep up the great work. Bill.

[@hunterschmaus]

Great lesson.

[@nathanyazzie9044]

Cool!!🤘👽🤘

[@lozpamphilon]

😦 I’m freaked out right now Michi... I just watched Toy Story 4 and I heard this beat in it at some point. I’m a beginner drummer and I thought to myself ‘I wonder what that beat is called? I hear it quite a lot and I should probably learn it but I’m not sure what to search for’. A few hours later you upload this video! I really appreciate your channel man.

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Hey Lawrence, that is so great to hear. Really glad I could help you! :D

[@kevintwine8443]

Your brilliant 👍

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Thanks, Kevin ;-)

[@guilhermecapozzi7385]

Awsome!

[@williamgranville6732]

Fantastic lesson, I love how you break everything down and simplify it. One question though, is there any benefit of using the paradiddle inversion over the single strokes?

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Not really, it is just for the looks ;-)

[@frankdicarlo2288]

Bravissimo

[@nicholighkun]

I like this one. I'm not a fan of country music, even a little bit, except for a few classics, but I can hear a lot of potential in this for some fast paced, fun style grooves. I love that you're so frequently tackling varied genre's, it gives me lots of ideas!

[@DailyDrumLesson]

You can definitely use this groove in other genres as well, or just use it as an exercise. I am having a lot of fun doing these videos about grooves from different genres.. Lets see what is next :-)

[@tieukhavu8832]

Not only country. Also for skiffle

[@albertomedrano1886]

Super bien explicado!

[@detimeditom]

wow!

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Thanks Tim!

[@grannysgonerabid7425]

Great lesson. If I'm not mistaken, I think Keith Moon uses the first version of the train beat under the violin at the end of Baba O'Riley. His BPM are at a rate far too high for my abilities, but I believe it's a train beat if you break it down.

[@frenchjohnfrench370]

Michi thanks very great lesson...how to suggest me to study the paradidle like a train beat for almost an amateur like me? I can play the normal train. Eat but it is hard to play this like a paradidle

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Really take your time and take it to the pad. Just get comfortable with the paradiddle inversion before you try to add the feet. This thing isn't easy!

[@LEAK88925]

thanks a lot

[@Telepuzique]

the paradiddle part made me go hmm. gotta try this.

[@DailyDrumLesson]

That's my favorite as well!

[@DrRchannel71]

cool

[@njkdrums6241]

Hey can I ask what kind of train beat they were using in devil went down to Georgia

[@free-energy-systems]

Sina-Drums used this technique in her latest video BTO's You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet and I asked her how she did it. To let me know she gave me your link. I'll probably watch the video a few more times to better understand it. :)

[@tujungadave]

So, I'm a little confused by your explanation. Shouldn't the accents fall on the two and four, not the "AND" of each beat?

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

Holy Shit I did it

[@GB-hj3xp]

When Germans start talking about trains, I’m out…

[@juliandancingshadow4959]

go slower lol
