    Chop Suey is such a great song to learn for beginners. Not because it's easy or overly simple, but because there's so much variety between the verse, chorus, bridge, and outro, and it's all very approachable. It's a great "goal song" to set if you're just learning how to play.

      @JoeDaveycrockettsoundlabs 3 года назад +15

      Just a follow up. For real though! I’ve incorporated this mentality and it’s great for cultivating a students desire to “play”. This is great for my more technically minded students. The ones that have a hard time not playing what is in a page.

    always amazed at the community this channel has made. i'm also impressed at the refrain to just go into muscle memory and play "the song". shows a lot of profession and you really analyze and break it down into simpler pieces to add from.

    • @hugodogobob
      @hugodogobob 3 года назад +4

      That's the first level. Just slow it down until you can do it. I'm assuming him saying practice it before playing to the song is basically saying slow with metronome until it's up to speed to play to the song. You'll get it in no time, every drummer starts off from 0.

    • @Druid_Plow
      @Druid_Plow 3 года назад +3

      hugo is right man, and only way to start a song is by swinging the stick. don't rush yourself, find your own pace. but most important, do not be discouraged. If you set your mind to it, not only can you do it, you WILL do it.
      Good luck brother.

    Just discovered this video and I love the concept!
    Playing in cover bands there were (admittedly) quite a few songs where I simplified beats to get the song down.
    Over time, I usually improved the pattern to get nearer to the actual recording.
    Best results came when I had enthusiasm for the song and was prepared to work at it.

Should have paid more attention to the original material. 🤣 One more thing, I know this is very minor and people probably won't bother, but there's supposed to be a tie between the first high tom note and the second high tom note. I don't have OCD but it just doesn't feel right 🤣

    So, about 15 years ago while at a buddies house, I seen they were playing Rock Band Metallica. They had the drums, but nobody was playing. I love drums, and can keep a beat, but wouldn't say I am a drummer.
    They said to play, they were having trouble beating some songs, and thought that if the drums were also in play, they may have a better chance.
    Turns out, we actually did beat a few songs they hadn't been able to. They took a break to roll a J, I decided to try my luck solo at "All nightmare long" on expert. I had never been able to beat it. Not once. Close, but one part at the end was the end of me.
    I start playing, I was in the zone. Within a few minutes, there were the 3 of them standing behind me, joint in hand, watching as I tried my luck one more time.
    I beat it. I can't remember how I did percentage wise, but I did it. I was completely in the zone. The boys were clapping and excited to see me get through it solo.
    I then stood up, turned around, looked at them and said "Boys I'm on 2 hits of E HOLY F", dropped the drumsticks and walked out.
    I can't remember what I had for supper 5 days ago, but I was so in the zone that I will *never* forget that. I seen rock band and immediately remembered, but struggle with how old I am sometimes lol
