Dave, you hit those notes right on the mark. there are other videos explaining the YYZ fills but your version is the PERFECT version! I would really like to see you make a video for Limelight intro drum fill... thanks buddy keep making more videos...
Great video and the clearest instruction I’ve ever been able to find on the hertas used in the first fill. That fill has been a mystery to me for nearly 40 years! Thanks again 👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice, I appreciate how you dove into the fills quickly. I used this as reference and after seeing it notated and played through, I was able to thwart all mystery. Thanks for a great video!
I like to play that first lick with alternating double strokes like Neil does. It's what he does at the the top of Digital Man (Signals). It helps get those single stroke accents into the phrase on the toms and makes it more of a 70's prog rock decsending tom phrase. Also, he stops playing the 32nds & plays straight 16ths on beat 4,.... usually. But, yeah it's fun to play the phrase all the way down the toms, anyway.
Here's my take on the first fill. If you slow it down on the recording, you will notice that the first 3 quarter notes are subdivided into 6 and beat 4 is subdivided into a combination of a triplet and duplet. The first half of beat 4 is divided into a triplet and the second half is two 16th notes. KEY: S = Snare B = Bass drum 1 = Tom 1 2 = Tom 2 3 = Tom 3 4 = Tom 4 - = triplet rest (Ex: ------ for a quarter note subdivided as 6) = = 16th note rest (Ex: ==== for a quarter note subdivided as four 16th notes counted as standard 1e+u, 2e+u, etc.) > = accent Beat 1 (subdivided as 6): SSSS11 Beat 2 (subdivided as 6): > > 112222 Beat 3 (subdivided as 6): > 333344 Beat 4 (first half subdivided as 3, second half subdivided as 2): > 44-=B so 44- is the triplet and the =B is the duplet with B on the "uh" of 4.
@@jacobpotts7954 Thanks for your reply. I posted this several years ago. Now, I have learned that Neil is playing 5 hertas in a row with an extra 16th note added at the end on the "uh" of 4 before landing on the downbeat. As you correctly state, there is a 4:3 polyrhythm contained within since each herta requires three 16th notes to play. Oh, the 3rd note of each herta is accented which adds to the syncopation. Total genius.
Hello dave! Great video. I think there's a mistake at the first drum break however. The last group of notes should be four 16th on tom with no accents.
Ok. In that case the first snare notes should be accented and the last bass drum should be tom in my opinion. You cannot really play it like that but maybe they have recorded the fill separately.
5yrs and still best explanation for YYZ fills. Thanks!

🖤
those are called herta's I believe.
Learning this song for my band. They wanted to switch out moby dick for this and this really helped! Thanks so much for uploading!
Thank you man!
I play guitar why am I here
Edit: But man that cymbal next to the ride (on the right) sounds really good
Isn't that first one have hertas in it?

KEY:
S = Snare
B = Bass drum
1 = Tom 1
2 = Tom 2
3 = Tom 3
4 = Tom 4
- = triplet rest (Ex: ------ for a quarter note subdivided as 6)
= = 16th note rest (Ex: ==== for a quarter note subdivided as four 16th notes counted as standard 1e+u, 2e+u, etc.)
> = accent
Beat 1 (subdivided as 6):
SSSS11
Beat 2 (subdivided as 6):
> >
112222
Beat 3 (subdivided as 6):
>
333344
Beat 4 (first half subdivided as 3, second half subdivided as 2):
>
44-=B
so 44- is the triplet and the =B is the duplet with B on the "uh" of 4.
Most likely the groups of four are actually 4:3 polyrhythms, then the last group (beat 4) is a triplet and two sixteenths.

Hi, the video is based on the Moving Pictures version and it is indeed correct. Thanks for watching!

Drums sound like crap..playing is perfect!! Well done
