What'd I Say, Ray Charles - Trinity Rock and Pop Drums Grade 7

[@kevinturvey8213]

so that's where ringo got the rhythm for " i feel fine"...

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Could be! :)

[@k.wrennn]

Maybe but this was the first song that the beatles played together when ringo first joined. Paul George and john was looking at each other in shock that ringo played it well than all other drummers they played with

[@steveanderson6180]

According to Paul McCartney when he spoke at Ringo's induction to the R&R HOF, this is the first song Ringo played with the other Beatles.

Exactly. Famously, one if the reasons John and Paul invited Ringo to join the band was because he could play this drum part ...

This was so awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing!

[@AldenMoellerInc]

i swear the bpm for this song is infinity

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

It’s Grade seven for a reason man! Good challenge this one. Thanks for watching :)

[@bobpoisson1560]

I got to play it with a fifty's band. You helped me so much to get the structure of the tune. All is OK. Hopefully for me, we play it at 160bpm. I'll get it faster soon but it's quite difficult to be in the pocket along the whole tune when you play it at 174. Thank you very much !

[@eyilayom7459]

I have to pay the song at 0.5x to listen to it properly😂. Good playing.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Thanks! Yes a good physical/rechnique challenge this one! Thanks for watching :)

this is great man! how would you call this rhythm pattern?

The Grade 7 book describes it as "Soul, with a rhumba feel". Thanks for watching.

[@TheWaveGoodbye-Music]

Could you do a ride groove tutorial? Only been drumming a year but would love to get it down 🤣

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

For this? You’ll need to spend some (considerable I’d say) time building your finger control skill for this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3O0i6aeeLyUh5Y

Thanks Joydeep, will do a lesson about this song soon. Cheers man!

[@shubhamghag1704]

Hey man there's hardly any cover for "With a little help from my friends' , feels like a grade 8 song, do you mind covering that as well? That'd be great help.

ON a scale of 1 - 10 how difficult is this to learn and play?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

This is already on a scale! - It's from Trinity Rock and Pop Grade 7. There are 8 grades, so 7 out of 8! Thanks for watching :)

[@bensouthall6705]

Hey, do you have a video lesson or the music sheet for this song available to buy? Cheers

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi Ben, thanks for watching. Linked in the description!

[@mardiemedia]

what kind of beat / genre is this? thers also a beatles song with this kindof rhythm i dont cope with ;)

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

The Grade 7 book describes it as "Soul, with a rhumba feel". The Beatles song (which was apparently inspired by this song) is "I Feel Fine".

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

The book makes the point that further study of "latin" styles will help with mastering this type of groove.

[@mardiemedia]

thanks lot man. i play for 30+ years drums and cant play this 🙈 any linkssuggestions for that?

[@lorrainedickson2401]

hi mike! I hope you don't mind me asking but what age were you when you when you started the drums and what age were you when you first learnt this piece?

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hi Lorraine, started when I was 13 (I'm now 39). I actually played this song for the first time as such only 2 or 3 years ago on gigs, but it's a timeless drum beat/feel which I've played quite a bit over the years! Thank you for watching :)

[@joelkessie6258]

This is too hard for me bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Thanks for watching! Have you completed up to Grade 6?

[@joelkessie6258]

I am a drummer too , but I have little experience. I was listening this song a few minutes ago and I was empressed by the beat . So I looked for the Drum part and I tell this to you with all my respect: you were amazing. I haven't completed the grade 6 anyway.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

@@joelkessie6258 Cool, makes sense! This is at Grade 7 level (there are 8 grades total). So on average a drummer would have been practicing consistently for several years before realistically expecting to play this accurately and smoothly I'd say. Go for it man, my best advice is start at the beginning and build up your skills level-by-level. Plus I actually found this song very challenging for this level! Cheers :)
