    Classic drum intro from Larry Mullen Jr - ruclips.net/video/fdmNC8ylrXI/видео.html
    Great suggestion from drum student and channel supporter Alan Reeve.
    Thanks for watching, please let me know your suggestions for these “how to play the groove/fill from…” videos.
    PS slight inaccuracy to be aware of in the on-screen notation - there shouldn't be a hi-hat written along with the snare drum on "4" and "+". Sorry! Fully correct notation is here:

      Definitely 👍 by the way your drums and the recording sound super. but you have to find away for the mic so you don't have to turn to speake I think is not easy 😉

      I really enjoy the grooves that keep appearing on your channel. It goes to show you that there’s often real gold to be found in the simpler beats from days gone.

    Hi Mike, I am just a beginner but thanks to you I am able to "play" Sunday bloody sunday. I find Bullet the blue sky more difficult for my actual level (or maybe I should try, at least). I definitely appreciate your way of teaching. I really looking forward to play this wunderful intro. Probably the best intro ever. Cheers.

    • @MikeBarnesDrums

      Just a little too far apart to be a flam to my ears - distinctly on the last 32nd of beat 3, rather than a grace note to beat 4. Cheers for watching!

    Hi Mike - any chance you could breakdown the classic mini fill just after the beginning ( I think 3rd bar into the song) in Black Knight by Deep Purple - sounds like accented 16th but triplet sounding ? Thanks man

    I play a fairly beginner electric drum kit and the hi hat control is SO infuriating. It never feels or sounds right and annoyingly, it's one of my favourite sounds in drumming. It MIGHT be accurate, but there's no visual or tactile feedback so I don't really know what's happening :D Think I'm gonna have to try a real drumkit at some point. But htanks for the great breakdown. Something new for me to learn and sink my teeth into.

    • @MikeBarnesDrums
      @MikeBarnesDrums  Год назад +1

      Yes I'd say the hi-hat is the hardest thing for electronic kits to replicate. The one on my e-kit (Roland vh10 - ruclips.net/video/KRsDr2roBqE/видео.htmlfeature=shared) is excellent but still not exactly the same as an acoustic hi-hat. Thanks for watching.
