    The drumming on the Tears For Fears song Everybody Wants To Rule The World is simply killer. It's one of the most requested drum beats I get asked to teach a drum lesson on. So here it is with several variations I've seen played live as well.

      @ It's not a matter of counting, it's a matter of getting back into the hi hat and kick patterns smoothly after the fill

    •  3 года назад

      @@djwiens to know where you are at in the measure is very important to come back smoothly after a fill.. hence those numbers found in the sheet music. The One happens to be where the kick drum first hits. It is a matter of counting for many people, personally I feel the groove and remember the parts without having to count usually. Sheet music could help you maintain a groove after your fills, Stephen has the music free for download. Cheers !

    Chris Hughes programmed most of the drums on “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” They borrowed the snare drum sound from “Shout” and pitched it up. The hi-hat and shakers came from the LinnDrum. The kick drum sound came from the Fairlight CMI. Smith laid down a new bass line with the PPG Wave, and Orzabal and local session musician Neil Taylor laid down the electric and acoustic guitar parts.

  • @cfauvel

    I love these videos where someone actually explains what’s going on. Thanks for that.
    For the bass I alternate between 3 and 4 and for grace notes of the triplette I do it on high hat with two hands. My snare of 2 and 4 will be my right hand.
    I have mediocre electric set and grace notes on the snare either don’t pickup or they do pickup at same intensity as beats 2 and 4.
    I’m a copy cat, I don’t analyze what is really going on, just get it to where it sounds like the original ( to me).

It gives it the impetus at the start of the pattern and the missed second is hidden by the snare. Makes it doable for me. Thank you so much!

      Awesome tune and great video as always !
      I used to play it mostly based on "Option B" from your music sheet, tho with these personal alterations:
      I don't play the kick drum "under" each snare and I play very lightly all the triplets on the hats with an accent on every "Li" of "3 lo li". All the hats triplets sort of mimic the shaker/percussion from the original recording.
      Actually, it's very much like that tune "Everyday Now" from this other late 80' band named Texas:

Gail Anne Dorsey on Break It Down Again ;) Big massive beats there, classy pop/rock that seems ...well, plain lost, these days...

    @sluggo1184 3 года назад

    My band is covering this song and since there won't be shakers going on, etc. I had already planned on just seeing which beat works best with the band. Stephen laid out that same sentiment. One of the first beats I learned around 1960 was just a swing beat with 4 on the floor and it would work fine without the shakers and stuff going on to supplement the beat. I like shuffling the bass drum and swinging on the hats with a few ghost notes on the snare.

Low quality audio and iffy bins on your ears playing to what came on the radio. I ended up playing what you played around the 5:15 mark so I'm quite chuffed to know I was pretty much spot on.
