    One of the things I most like about your lessons is the fills (grooves, solos, etc.) you teach us are very MUSICAL. They are beats that an audience would identify as sounding cool. Audiences don't know what is hard or easy to play, they only know what sounds good. Many of the lessons online will teach fills that are challenging to play correctly, but I personally would never want to use them in a live setting. (Yes, I am a big fan, & I bought your Meinl cymbal set cause they sound great!)

    Mike's system for learning linear patterns is absolutely excellent. So effective.
    Believe in this system, practice it, discipline your self to use a metronome and go slow! You'll have insane 'chops' before you can say HOOAHH!

    That was the first drum video that I watched on RUclips, and became my favorite drum fill for life

    Brother Mike… dude to be completely honest I’ve only known about you for the past 3 years and absolutely fell in love with your teaching and just your all around character- such a down to earth awesome dude with such a sweet spirit… when I came across this old school video it just really validated your passion and your love for teaching- thanks for just being you…

    Mike, your videos and contributions to the musician community are incredible. I don't even play the drums (I'm a keyboard player) and I've learned so much from your videos. You truly have a talent for explaining things in a way that makes them relevant and easy to apply to real music. It's so refreshing to see someone so eager and excited to share what they know, and doing so in a very helpful and entertaining way.
    Keep being composed entirely of awesomesauce,

I've been a live subscriber for about three months now, and I'm excited to have even more access to such an incredible resource. Most importantly, thank you for putting so much passion into what you do. Every time I've seen you make a big announcement like this, I can't help but feel the genuine emotion and excitement in your voice. Well done, Mike!

    Mike, you're such an amazing drummer. You and Tony Royster Jr. are like, 2 of my favorite drummers of all time!! Especially since you're wearing obey right now, i love it! These lessons you give inspire me so much! I got 5 years of drummer under my belt, and you bring me so much more " style freedom", i guess you can call it. Like, you give these awesome lessons that i try out and give me ideas when I have hit a plateau!

    You've also helped me so much with giving lessons! The kid that I'm teaching is only 10, but he's a fast learner! but he's still on basic stuff. Although, the way you say things and explain them is what helps me to communicate with him. So, thanks a bunch got taking your time to do this for us! Much love!

  • @j13a13
    @j13a13 11 лет назад

    Mike, You are moving farther and farther into the spiritual way of the drums. My favorite drummer is Danny Carey because of his approach to drums and percussion (and also that he is a total badass) but you have become my very close second. The way you are helping us is a way that could only be possible as of the internet age anyway but the fact that you care to make us better is selfless and can never be repaid. I say this not to compare you to The Savior but to show impact you make(Drum Jesus.)

  • @Red0991

  • @Parlora
    @Parlora 11 лет назад

    Not sure if anyone has answered you but if you look at about 3:26 in the video, it shows the sticking pattern (two beats of it, repeated to fill the bar). The accent is on the second left of the series. Count it ONE-and-a-one-and-a-TWO-and-a-two-and-a-THREE-and etc. and the accent lands on beats two and four (in 4/4) to create the backbeat if you just use it as a groove.

  • @GregStoneII

  • @DrGray_Drummer
    @DrGray_Drummer 7 лет назад

    Like many of the people that have commented, I too have "borrowed" some of your licks lol. The paradiddledids between the hands, and feet is part of my warm up. The fake double bass lick is sweet in short bursts, or keeping 1/8ths with the left is brilliant! The one lick I need to work on is that linear 16th note trip lick going from 16ths. I have trouble transitioning w/out a click. You have a great attitude, great player, and thank you for posting. If I could have access to these lessons growing up........

    Mike I know you hear it a lot but you're very inspirational on the drums and seem like a lovely genuine guy. I always have fun watching your RUclips posts and when I get to stop travelling for work I'll join your live lessons for sure. I'll take this and make it my own (in other words for me play it a lot slower and generally worse).

  • @tony00165
    @tony00165 11 лет назад

    Thanks for posting this mike...fabulous as these licks are they are all 'playable' all anyone has to do is to get the pattern off slow and keep doing it faster as they get used to it.Basic common sense but something a lot of drummers don't adhere to when trying to get something off. I haven;t played drums for years but after watching this I feel like setting the kit up and having a go again,,thanks again...from England.

    @Bartzmusic 11 лет назад

    There is nothing wrong with learning by ear. I do both, the notes that are on the screen are very easy to read. On the top of each snare note there is an "R" or "L" for Right or Left. the notes on the bottom of the staff are kick drum. Hope this helps!

    @ckbarber 11 лет назад

    Mike, thanks for this lesson. Drumming is all about groove and time, but we all want to be able to unleash monster fills in appropriate places. I've worked through a number of groove based DVDs (like Tommy Igoe's) and when the groove is demonstrated a killer fill is usually played at some point with no explanation of how the Hell to execute it.

    Hey Mike, I love the way you attack your drums and how you simplify your teaching for the drumming community. You make complicated licks look easy!
    I have 2 questions... First of all, what snare are you using? It sounds amazing! Secondly, we all know that you can play really well, and we also know that you've had your fair share of touring with a band. Could you do a instructional video on the core essence of playing in a band? Ie. the groove, "less is more" and physical conditioning. Thanks!

  • @KenjoMendez
    @KenjoMendez 12 лет назад

    Wooow! :O! Mike, you have been an inspiration to me ever since your 'double bass w/ 1 foot' days & this inspired me a lot more! You are one of my strongest influences & I just wish you never stop what you are doing 'til the day I die. Cheesy I know, but what you've brought to the drumming community, is just gold. And that is your education. Please never stop teaching & sharing. I've always wanted to learn this lick. Thanks soo much mike! For everything! :]
