Saved this vid in my ‘important drum lessons’ playlist. Thank you, Mike!

[@mhsandifer]

One of the most fantastic syncopations ever.

[@eDrumsandVSTs]

Such a great feel on that track. It feels like a Jeff Porcaro feel.

[@ramanpost]

Great lesson Mike. You should hv played the groove for a bit again at the end of the video. Just a suggestion.

[@Jtdubbzz]

Thank you for confirming I’ve been playing right all along. But I already knew that lol. Love Tears for Fears and fun song to play

[@martinleicht5911]

Thank you for the confirmation !! ✌

[@rayboreham2648]

Thanks, Mike. Now, can you please come down to San Jose and play that for me at our next live gig? I hate not playing it live as it should be but that quarter note triplet is a killer.

Saw this video the other day so I attempted to learn it just now. Very good exercise to get the brain working! Thanks Mike!

And Michale Jackson's, "The Way You Make Me Feel" is quite similar to this, if not identical.

Down shots of new heads are so nice to look.... Nice breakdown

[@jarrahdrum]

Excellent, thank you, subscribed

[@FadjarMoeljarto]

Simply perfect groove🥁👍🔥

[@peacefulbliss1]

Very tricky beat! For a second, I felt like a beginner, but I got it fast. You learn something new all the time. You have to isolate stuff. Thanks for a great lesson.

[@edwardstudebaker9821]

Sounds great. The actual recording is a sample or drum machine. You make it sound authentic. Well done you.

[@williamweiss6128]

Covering this in the 80's, I would have fun and get creative, mess with the groove. Fortunately, had a great bass player.

[@rockingdownunder]

Thank you, now I know the right way...

[@22aplile]

FINALLY🎉🎉🎉 thank you Mike

[@Poundemonium24]

Great video. I actually learned this beat not by listening to Tears for Fears but by listening to drummer Scott Rockenfield on The Whisper by Queensryche. His kick drum is not as busy throughout the entire song but he does throw in some variations.

[@karolinaborowczyk-grzana6744]

Hey - We can't say for sure that the kick drum plays this way - the bass certainly plays this way

[@NChantband]

Well done!
