    With all the perfectionists out there showing their skills on RUclips, its nice to see someone who is just starting out and just going for it no matter what the people say..These videos have been a breath of fresh air after everything we see drummers do on RUclips...Makes me very happy and I know that someday Ola will be a great drummer and hopefully he will be able to play drums on his next solo album...

      St Anger is super flawed, but there's some really good stuff on there. Probably their heaviest, most raw album, it just needed an editor to trim the fat and a producer willing to say "no" to stuff like the snare.

  • @sonnenpriester
    @sonnenpriester 2 года назад +54

    Just some friendly tips Ola:
    1) Your arms seem to be too far extended when playing the hihat, try putting it a bit closer. The Toms seem far apart too ... try to layout the set that nothing is too far away to play comfortably.
    2) Your sliding technique seems the wrong way around. As i learned it it is like this -> your leg comes up, your foot slides a bit back on the pedal creating the first kick. After that you let your leg fall down and the foot comes back to the original position creating the secons kick. What you DONT want is tapping your foot twice hence it kills efficiency.
    3) Holding sticks is hand to explain, but try to find the spot where the balance point of the stick is and place your Indexfinger a bit below that it becomes tip heavier, but not too much but i guess its personal preference at that point. Try not to grip the strick tight. Thumb and index finger are just guiding the stick, the other fingers are "holding" on to it. As i said a bit hard to explain but maybe you get something out of that.
    Otherwise very cool to see you play drums! Keep the videos coming dude! I guess I have to learn guitar now O_o

The methods you describe are way more harder to learn and can be found often in metal but can also be used in other genres. Heel toe for example is used by my teacher a lot who is a jazzdrummer. Every technique has its use despite the genre.

    this song and this album in general has always been a "false" easy, so something easy on the ears and not that easy to play. Because of the sounds it always got a lot of hate but honestly is very honest. With a different snare and a different mix/sounds, it sounds brutal.

      As a long time Metallica fan who has paid thousands over the years to see them live, I feel entitled to shitting on Lars just a little bit. Yes, the man has written some amazing parts and is one of the most influential drummers ever. I love his music to death and adore his style and arrangements. But as a fan and frequent audience member, I find his laziness and unwillingness to learn his own damn parts kinda disrespectful towards not just us fans, but his own music. For example "One" has one of the most iconic double bass parts in music history, but when did Lars last play that part properly, let alone well? Dude is dreadful live, but doesn't give a fuck and makes little effort to improve. That deserves a bit of flak, in my mind.

    I started drums at 14 in 1969 loved Mitch Mitchell, but Hendrix drew me to guitar, then back to drums when I heard Neil Peart, then back to guitar when I heard Eddie Van Halen. You have your guitar skills to keeping time very well. The first thing I learned to utilize drum rolling and stay in tempo was Iron Butterfly Inagadadavida. The very tricky part many drummers couldn't do was midway thru the solo, there is a single hi-hat(with left foot) while dbl kick pedal (right foot), like playing a fast dbl disco beat, while rolling tom toms all the way down to the bass drums. That's one way I learned to transition. Try it and you will loosen up a good workout and you'll be able to open up your drumming skills real fast. I still play Rock and Metal "Happy Holidays Ola!"

    It's called skipping the pedal, where you hit once and it does a fast double stroke - you have to do it with a quick snapping motion. I remember when I was around 14 and finally learned how to do that. John Bonham was the master - he could even do triple strokes with a single motion on the pedal.

    Ola, please, please, PLEASE keep going. As a natural guitarist of 30 years and a (forced-to-be) drummer of 20 years, every step you have been going through has been what I went through to get where I am today. Your natural talent far exceeds mine, and to see you grow after being an accomplished (and influential) guitarist to become a formidable drummer is something I can't wait to see. Remember, as with guitar, it is 10% mental memory, and 90% muscle memory. Skål!!

    Ola - I can’t thank you for the years of time I start watching your channels rise and all your great content You are one of the best out there I always look forward to your videos - Being mainly a guitar player but also bass player and drummer as well as an engineer that actually doesn’t get hired by other bands Every now and again Anna Metallica fan for the scary long time let me just say play like Lars is very very hard it’s not because he’s very good necessarily Lars has lots and lots of character and lots of new ones that maybe he makes up for not being such a great technical drummer and that’s what he replaces it with but he has a fly pets like teaspoon of us it’s just very very different and very unique and if you try to do it the way he does he just won’t be able to whether you’re better or worse - Would help me on my cover versions of Metallica song so I played every instrument that are on my channel if you want to check them out try to kind of play with the posture and the vibe that Lars has when he’s behind the drum kit that almost arrogance and I’m willing to throw caution to the wind at times Try to play like you’re the biggest metal band ever was and did some of the greatest things in the entire genre of music OK the metal play drums like that and it doesn’t matter fear better than this guy better and that guy you are Lars Ulrich and that matters

That was killer Ola!🤘🏻🤘🏻If I was to recommend a song for you to learn off the top of my head, "You Can't Fill My Shadow" by All That Remains, that's a killer song.

Practice letting the stick fall on the drumhead and naturally bounce up (should be easy on those "fake drums") Do not let your fingers off the stick, you will hit something accidentally (like your finger) or drop a stick. Lightest grip possible without losing the stick, more wrist than arm. You're doing great!
