And his drumming just sounded dank and perfect for the Beatles songs. Perfect matches for awesome bands were probably Starr, Bonham and Stewart Copeland. They just added that extra bit that made the songs masterpieces.
My drum professor in college used to make us do this excersize where it was a simple 4 4 groove with no fills at about 65-70bpm (16th) and would set a 10 minute timer. No fills. No flash. Or you start over.
An alteration you can do to this is to start with a very simple beat and every 4 bars you add a single note to it. Play it with the single note added for another 4 bars then add another and so on, never playing anything other than the original beat and the notes you intentionally added
Bruh the adhd thing bruhhhhhhhhh. my bruh has the same issues man, no matter what we gonna roll on the 4 fuck everybody else 😅😂 you feel me I mean fuck the keyboardist, the base guitar, man lol if my brain says roll I roll 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
No we don't, i mean no I'm no professional but I'm a drummer in a punk band, yeah they were some nice fills but if you can't play, well if you find the 4×4 rhythm hard, you shouldn't be a drummer 😂
Indeed that's the hardest part, but that's our job. I always try to make my beats challenging in a subtle way (toss an accent on ever the "a" of the 3rd beat every 4 bars or something that I know will make me focus)
i can agree with this is i play guitar not drums but still i feel discipline is a very important skill when playing one especially when your a human metronome as a drummer
Keeping tempo, and listening to the group as a whole. Knowing when, when not, and what to play to compliment the piece and fellow member's playing is what makes someone truly great.
So true. As a drummer myself, everytime I hear a band playing, I'm not listening on what groove, or licks he's playing, I'm listening if he stays on tempo throughout the whole song.
Keeping consistent tempo was the hardest thing to learn when I first started playing back in the day. That’s what sets drummers apart from every other kind of musician. Guitar and bass players can follow each other, but drummers have to be totally focused on the technicalities of their own beat and also be in sync with guitar and bass at the same time. It’s so easy to get distracted sometimes and if our tempo is off, everyone’s tempo is off. The drummer is another kind of animal lol.
The last band I was in as a drummer, the rhythm guitarist had the most consistent tempo. So I followed his tempo - we didn't use click tracks - and always asked for his signal to be loudest in my monitor mix. But everyone has an equal responsibility to stay in tempo. The only difference for drummers is that our mistakes are often more obvious due to the nature of our instruments.
As is Chatlie "Cool" Watts of The Rolling Stones. A human metronome for sure as the world over has pointed out. RIP. Sugarfoot Moffett is good, too. He was Michael's Jackson's drummer for a while for a couple of tours. And Madonna's, too.
played in an orchestra as a percussionist on a very young age, the toughest thing i learned then was actually restraint so you wouldn't overpower the entire orchestra haha. a trap i think for many young drummers as this is not exactly an instrument that inspires "restraint"
LMAO@ what you said. And it's so true. I saw a clip where even James Hetfield of Metallica was actually bitching at Lars about adding too much on the fills. So there you have it, that an actual metal band, at times, would agree about stuffing too much in there. I started listening to AC/DC in the early 70s, and Phil Rudd has always had just the perfect amount or right fills, or lack there of.
That's y some drummers couldn't play for Gregory Isaacs most of his songs from the intro is over its straight hi hat snare and bass then properly 1 crash and snare so steadiness for the entire 3 mins 4 mins
Thats one thing i miss about duranguense. The drums being used exclusively as a lead and fills instrument because the rhythem is covered by the tuba board.
This is why The Rev was so great he would come up with rythyms for songs that sounded like the first one but had the metronomic facets of the second one! R.I.P Jimmy 😢
I wish I could just teleport through that screen and play with this dude. It’s my biggest dream to be a pro drummer up there in front everyone. To actually be something.
@@andriemirasol0185 yeah I heard him before. He’s a good drummer but I don’t plan on learning things that you’re probably never gonna use in an actual song. You see Stepario is an excellent and brilliant inspiring drummer but I don’t plan on learning a bunch of really cool things which I probably will never use in a song.
@@andriemirasol0185 unfortunately, watching stepario makes one LESS inspired to play. I actively avoid watching him. It’s like a, why even try thing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🍻
With drummers like Stepario out there, creativity is what will set you apart. You may not be able to learn how to play like he does, but you can create something he’s never heard before In his life. Live your own truth
Everything is hard. You need never ending discipline to conquer all of it and then work all over again to keep repeating that brilliance over and over again.
Thats what makes Charlie Watts and Ringo and the like the best. Simple, yet tight, with just a perfectly placed accent hear or there. I like modern as well, but alot of that is all accents with a "beat" thrown in now and again.
It's technique, timing, discipline. It's easy to go off on one and lose timing and focus. But making a simple beat sound fitting to the music is an art form.
I’ve been a percussionist for two years plus taiko which make 7 years (if you don’t know what taiko means look it up) but I have been learning the drum set at the end of the school year. When I tried to play that. It felt like I couldn’t do anything. It took me days to play the right tempo and find the beat. And since our hands play different rhythms it’s hard to focus on what to do. Hope that helps😊
I used to study a school that also taught drummers. They told me so much about this, and one of them was gunning to become a jazz drummer, and he was like a god to the other student for his ability to change the tempo and the strokes at any given time basically. It doesn't look and sound impressive, but when you try to do it yourself, you instantly understand.
Absolutely 💯 Right I'm a professional Drummer for over 40 yrs and it takes practice and don't overplay just stay in the groove, i seen a drummer overplay and he screwed his whole band up by him overplaying stay in that pocket and youll be fine, Buddy Rich was my idle and i studied him and he taught me alot about drumming just watching his video's, To my fellow drummer's keep playing and Happy Drumming. 🥁🥁🥁🥁
As a drum teacher, I frequently get students that want to learn Nothing Else Matters, because they think it is an easy song to learn. I love that they ask this because I think it is an awesome song to start working on once the basics are down. The time signature, the absolutely astonishing use of dynamics, the tom play, and the fills are great obstacles for all new drummers to overcome. The simplest of songs are usually the hardest to play perfectly.
And this is why I love the band Sambomaster. Yasufumi cymbal control is next level, and as a drummer. I highly respect his flow. He shouldn’t be drumming at that pace for essentially Beatles style heavy rock music, but he incorporates a lot of jazz style into it, it’s basically putting a jazz drummer in punk band, and it works so perfectly.
Keep on learning, i think you have the true. You will master the chops as well soon, which is obviously the next step after mastering a simple groove. Besos 😘
Went from guitar to drum to improve my rythm... Day one I was playing a lot of Hawaii PD like fills .... Day 2 I realize how just just playing a regular 3minutes beat was going to be a long way 😅
Honestly I contest to this honestly coming up with a crazy drum solo for a 16 bar track can be challenging and not being satisfied with it. And honestly keeping a steady beat can be easy when you know the timing of a song and play around with it. Thanks for liking my post!! I follow all your stuff and fills for my own technique and to learn new things! Keep up the good work!
People frequently ask me what I think is the hardest song to play on drums. Then they walk away with a look of confusion when I tell them it's Rosanna by Toto. Not Hot For Teacher or Tom Sawyer or anything by Metallica. Rosanna. For extra credit, try playing it the way Dennis Chambers does.
This can be incredibly true for bassists as well. It’s good to have impressive chops, but even better to have those impressive chops and still know to serve the song with every note

Resisting the intrusive thought to turn an entire track into a jazz drum solo is the greatest challenge a drummer will ever face.

@@Pulang_Diwa I find playing in the dark to help with that
Same here!!!
Me with my drum I got on Facebook just 9 hours ago
Staying consistent throughout an entire song while still trying to keep it from being boring is quite difficult
Imagining trying to do this with people with no timing experience
Yeah, it’s a lot easier to cover up in songs with big flashy fills, but a lot harder to fill a simple groove while keeping it engaging
Especially for those of us with severe adhd. Its my biggest problem
Bruh the adhd thing bruhhhhhhhhh. my bruh has the same issues man, no matter what we gonna roll on the 4 fuck everybody else 😅😂 you feel me I mean fuck the keyboardist, the base guitar, man lol if my brain says roll I roll 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

This dude has second best comment
Great comment man...so true
same with me, I can never stop playing, no matter what
Apparently it's impossible since it hasn't been done yet.

i can agree with this is i play guitar not drums but still i feel discipline is a very important skill when playing one especially when your a human metronome as a drummer

Beginner drummers just forget to learn the mean thing they just want to fly to solo mood 😂😂
Keeping tempo, and listening to the group as a whole. Knowing when, when not, and what to play to compliment the piece and fellow member's playing is what makes someone truly great.
Not really. It makes them truly professional not great. Greatness is reserved for dudes who can do that, have amazing groove and crazy chops.
You just described Ringo perfectly
First one : Quick
Second one: Patience
I think it was Oscar Peterson who, when asked "What's the hardest thing you've ever played?" ...answered "4 quarter notes".
I kept waiting for the guitar to come in on that Honor Thy Father intro
Don't cross the crooked step 😡
For ppl who dont know, he said its hard bc we have to stay on tempo doing that and sometimes we can slipped so thats why 😁😁
And also resisting the temptation to add in other more interesting hits
Not only tempo

Facts
As a drummer for around 15 Years I can confirm
The hard things here is:
1.Tempo
2.Dynamic
3.Making people dance with that beat
If you have all these....you're well on your way
So jump in the pit an kick some old fogey in the face to the first drum pattern!
Honestly the dynamic and tempo seem to be what makes something feel danceable
Ac/dc's drummer made a career out of that beat
@@CrunkFreakkk i mean.....it worked...

Yes...after playing for many years, this is what you end up learning. This is a true statement.
Omg yessss!!!as a beginner,managing tempo is the hardest part for mee😭
sᴀᴍᴇ
Same
It ain't managing tempo, it's resisting the urge to go full speed on the drums 😂
Metronome is a drummers best friend I just listen to met in my headphones instead of music sometimes lol
Keeping the rhythm consistently is the hardest, i feel you
Dynamics, control, and solid time keeping. 👍
Serving the song too
@@deadshot4245 absolutely right, sir.
As a guitarist, I confirm that playing on time is a real pain in the ass...
Keeping consistent tempo was the hardest thing to learn when I first started playing back in the day. That’s what sets drummers apart from every other kind of musician.

The only difference for drummers is that our mistakes are often more obvious due to the nature of our instruments.
And there is no one who does it better than Sugarfoot. He’s an Alien like the King himself❤ Totally untouchable.
Bro I can't resist adding in some ghost notes on the snare😂
Me neither
It's like cigarettes

I’ve only been playing for two years but he’s definitely right

For those of you confused, us drummers have a harder time going like even just 5 minutes without doing a fill 😅
Or you can see it as being hard to keep tempo
I’m a drummer and you are 100% right. It’s not the beat that’s hard, it’s keeping the tempo
Louie Bellson once told me, “It’s what you don’t play”
Have lived by that for 55 years.
He also said if you don't have a drum kit just use chairs and I just use chairs it's sweet.
That snare control is too hard ♥️
So true... Especially in Gospel songs where you have resist the temptation of rolling but to keep composed 😂
That patience is in whole other level 💯
This is why a lot of groups including The Beach Boys had studio musicians play on the album
It's technique, timing, discipline. It's easy to go off on one and lose timing and focus. But making a simple beat sound fitting to the music is an art form.
