Dude you’re so damn smooth. The fluidity is what I want. I’m a rock drummer ( like you were) and the stuff I’ve learned on your site it has made a better rock drummer. I’m practicing stuff I’ve never seen before. Where was this stuff when I was 14. I’d kill to have this knowledge when I started! I had 8 tracks and cassettes! The internet Wasn’t even a word yet! You’re an inspiration for sure
Dude, I'm 43 and have played drums for like 30 years. Classically-trained, went to UNT, played in rock & reggae bands, got to tour in a VERY unglamorous way for several years, etc... But my drumming the last bunch of years has gotten VERY stale and VERY complacent, i guess you'd say. Anyway, just wanted to say i love your teaching style, the way you think about drumming, & most of all, your obvious continued enthusiasm for playing. It's inspiring. The first video i watched was yesterday ("sassy triplets") and i jammed it all night. I love it. And I'll be going back & watching the rest of your vids. Kudos, my friend. Thanks for the inspiration. Much appreciated!
Visited this with some of my students, they played note after note...my grandson said, "Pappi, straight verses a 'groove feel' is rad! He heard that, which is so important! Mike, I've said it before, thank you so much for breaking it down into manageable chunks.. you are the master teacher!😎🤘🥁
I’m just getting back into drumming after many decades away. Always loved the art, even as a kid, the drums pulled me in...........Black Watch, John Henry, Neil Peart, Steve Smith, Weckl, Simon Phillips, etc. saw Steve Gadd and talked to him about picking up sticks again...........’get a pad and pick up those sticks and work rudiments’. Love great videos like this........great drummers sharing and making us all better.
It's really rare to be an accomplice musician and at the same time to be agreat teacher. This guy has both. Thanks so much Mike for the great content !
What a cool way to adjust a linear order, your mind does kick muscle memory in the ass but I love the vocabulary library I have been building with Mike since I retired...a gift to have a life passion to enjoy and be a never ending learner of the craft! If you are stuck in a rut, pull up Mike's lessons...my hero!
Man, I can’t thank you enough for this. I’ve been looking for a groove like this to help me with my left hand and thought maybe I’ll just work on the chunks cause there’s no way I can get through that groove. Two days later I’m playing the “notes” of the slow version along with you. Just working on making it groove now. Super grateful 🙏🏼
I know everyone comes here for the drums, but I have to say the time spent in dialing in the lighting is superb. I drop in every-once-in-a-while and the nice little highlight light on your bass foot caught my eye. The whole set & studio is looking good!
Oh man I feel you on the deleting lesson heartbreak. This is a great lesson too! Each chunk has so much value on its own and that’s a super powerful feeling to give everyone. Re-ordering the chunks creatively like chopping up a drum break in a sampler is another interesting idea I thought of while watching.
I'm definitely stealing this one!! So smooth and sounds like a gadd shuffle type groove wow! I could just keep playing this groove all day and utilize it in chunks with other grooves too!!!!
ive been seeing this type of groove in some drummers playing live but no idea how to do it. and finally mike did this tutorial many thanks! cheers from england!
I was working on playing the Grapevine Fires groove today! I spent a lot of time passive aggressively cussing at my hi hat, so this is a super useful (and conveniently timed) lesson. Ought to help me with getting all the right arm, leg and brain muscles working.
Thanks Mike for everything that you do! I love your thinking, and the content you produce is very high quality. I love the relentless improvement you aim for. Your videos inspired me to start making educational content myself, there is nothing better than giving back. I'm hoping one day we get to hang out.
Man you lessons are really helpful. Struggling with my chunks and left hand and saw this. I can’t wait to get on my kit and start practicing. Thank you for this!
OMG. Mike Johnston it FINALLY seems to be clicking. Since you released this video, it has been in my head like crazy. I was just now on the kit, and my improvement from yesterday is absolutely amazing, and I had to immediately jump up and come back to this video to give you a huge THANK YOU!!! (I'm serious, my kit is waiting for me to get back to this tickitty tock tock, buh hassa tock! :D ) I have been watching your videos for some years now, and I've been on and off with the drums (moving across states, etc) but finally have my kit set up full time. Last month I've finally gotten back into the drums and immediately started practicing the things I've learned from you previously. When I watched this, for some reason things started clicking. Exactly like you said in this video, I'm "feeling" the groove more than thinking about "omg am I on and uh, or 3, or what!?!?" It totally happened overnight - today after just trying to drill in the patterns yesterday. I even started adding my own notes to play, and that's how I knew things are clicking. I was thinking wow, what if I added a kick on the very very last note instead of the double on the left hand (make it a single), and it makes the groove start really cool on the "uh - one". Now I'm trying to follow your advice and orchestrate around, which is harder, but having fun messing with the ride. And it's making me change some of the notes, which can only be a good thing! Anyways, I know this is long, but as a musician for the passed 20 years, and 100% primarily guitar, I am extremely excited to be on the kit. This was the original instrument I wanted to learn 20 years ago, and I guess it's never too late right? Your videos and lessons are an absolute blessing and gem. I love your humor, and I really really enjoy hearing you play and talk about drumming... and non-drumming lol. I hope you see this just so you know you are absolutely helping me big time, and I very much appreciate all the work you do!
Excellent Mike, thanks. Well broken down, well put together. I love half time and triplets and this has given me a real shot of motivation to explore new territory.
Alsways trying to bring a little something extra whether they know it or not. Hopefully that gets me closer to being an educator instead of a demonstrator :)
For the longest time I thought that time 1,2,3,4 in the beginning was edited in! And thought holy crap, that's some editing mastery right there! However, it's the laptop screen behind!! Great lesson, really valuable!!😊🤘
Friggin awesome Mike!! As a noob I'm learning so much from your video's 😃👍 Plus the occasional chuckle, it's the full package 😄 Keep up the amazing work!
That's so awesome to hear!!! I go over my tuning/micing/eq and all my other settings constantly on www.mikeslessons.com. No rush, but I'll be there when you're ready :)
Am I reading your bracelet correctly? "Embrace The Suck" ?? .... That's exactly the mentality needed for practicing the fundamentals and rudiments. "The Suck" will pay off! I wish someone had drilled that in me at an early age with drumming!
That’s it my friend. We’ve been giving those bracelets to our campers since 2010. I can’t help you fix your issues until you acknowledge them and embrace them :)
Stumbled upon your channel. First time seeing your vid. I’m trying to get back at drumming since I got my e-kit a few days ago (I’ll be watching your tuning videos next for my acoustic drums, collecting dust in the corner of my room). Awesome awesome content man. Subscribed!
I completely agree what you mean by actually respecting and feeling the groove and primary notes but damn why do I love the disrespected primary note version so much?!!
LOL! As your ear develops you will start to enjoy the texture of carefully selected "primary" notes over the Insta-in-ya-face sound of monotone drumming, lol.
@@mikeslessons Ah, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation, much appreciated! I can't wait to develop my ear and remember this vid and think "wow, I actually preferred the monotone drumming."
PDF notation would be nice. trying to process the placements at the speed you say & show is wearing out my back clicker, ;-) Thanks for your great lessons! What notation software are you using? I'm having a tough time writing in Musescore.
Our king in Sweden did a similar thing when he made a special trip around our country making speaches to citizens in diffrent cities. So, he was in city "B", when he started his speach "-Dear citizens of "A"... 🤗 So youre not alone Mike 🤗
Glad you liked that part. That’s a just a short drum solo that I made up on the spot. It’s made of of all the little things that I practice and teach on a daily basis.
Hi Mike, we know you're such a pro and pay attention to every detail, but please do not delete this because the light runs out of battery! Hahaha great lesson!
LOL!!! Naw man, this one is staying. I know that these long "concept" lessons will never get the views of the flashy candy but I also know that the few who watch this, and really work on it will grow immensely and that is way more important to me than views, or the light staying on, LOL
Mike: "You don't just grab a large pizza and just put it near your face and hope it all works out ..." Me: Realizes I'm learning about more than just drumming today.
This approach is what separates your channel from all the others, Mike. But you already know that. And I get that you didn’t like the “hello Instagram” RUclips video, but as someone who benefits from your teaching, I wish you’d kept it up for future students. We couldn’t care less about the mistake. Cheers friend.
Thanks brother! It's a pretty simple lick that I teach all the time on my website so no biggie. OR... maybe that was my plan the whole time so that people would sign up on my website, lol :)
I’m from the endorsement police Johnston. Is that an A&F pancake snare in the background of the opening segment? 😁. I think it was. Kidding aside, nice groove man. 👍
@@mikeslessons actually it is. You can download videos on your phone if you have RUclips premium! I download some special ones, so I can save them. Esp. from my granddaughter, since she sometimes deletes them (and to me, they are too special!) Or, you could always use other tools!
@@RedDogMamaHD I'm so sorry that I wasn't more clear. I started on RUclips in 2006 so I'm super familiar with the process. What I was referring to is that the project files would have to be recovered, then I would have to set up the camera in the exact same angle, wear the exact same shirt, get the audio to match, dial in the lighting to match, and then record one line where I say "What's up RUclipsrs". It would be a minimum of a few hours of work. As someone that makes 6-8 videos a day for my website and social media, it just wasn't worth the bother, lol.
Jesus mike this lesson just fell apart, first the crushing news about last week's video, the playing with you chest mic on, your light running out of battery, not good enough. I'm just joking I absoulty love when you do these kinds of lesson where you teach a broader concept just goes to show how much I need to work on all my 3 not linear triplets so they become second nature. Thanks as always
@@mikeslessons glad you read through the start, I was getting worried like on no is like gunna read through the insults will me make it to the praise, have I gone to far, thankfully your a legend and made it through, all the best brotha
@@kiwiingenuity6666 LOL, naw man I read every single comment from front to back. Luckily I have a pretty epic group of commenters (you included obviously) so if it's ever skewing negative I know it's usually in fun. I promise that if ya ever got too far I'll just give it right back to ya :)
Don't punish yourself, Mike. Nobody cares that you said Instagram. Yes, it's funny but that's it 😎 Just pin your comment at the top saying you're a little embarrassed and leave it be.
It's tough to get better at this instrument if you don't want to think about your right hand, left hand, or your foot. All three are heavily involved in drumming.
Dude you’re so damn smooth. The fluidity is what I want. I’m a rock drummer ( like you were) and the stuff I’ve learned on your site it has made a better rock drummer. I’m practicing stuff I’ve never seen before. Where was this stuff when I was 14. I’d kill to have this knowledge when I started! I had 8 tracks and cassettes! The internet Wasn’t even a word yet! You’re an inspiration for sure
I so agree with you, this guy deserves a teaching award.
Dude, I'm 43 and have played drums for like 30 years. Classically-trained, went to UNT, played in rock & reggae bands, got to tour in a VERY unglamorous way for several years, etc...

Always useful and great stuff here.
Great video! One of my favorite drummers.
Mr. Inspiration.
Yet another great video. You're the best!
Yes!!! time for practice 😀! Thank you!
Love your sense of humor! - I have to stop laughing so I can practice the groove!
Thats a nice one 🥁👍🏻 your triplet excercises are great, done this with my students and its Mindblowing 🙏
That's soooo awesome to hear!
Killer lesson Mike with some tasty ingredients!
Much appreciated Kieran! Glad you enjoyed the recipe my man
Oh man I feel you on the deleting lesson heartbreak. This is a great lesson too! Each chunk has so much value on its own and that’s a super powerful feeling to give everyone. Re-ordering the chunks creatively like chopping up a drum break in a sampler is another interesting idea I thought of while watching.
100% I label all the chunks on a chalk board in my office (A,B,C,D, E F, etc.) and then start creating new grooves ADFC, CBAE, and so on.
Now this is a nice lesson, tasteful, groovy, well filmed, well explained, you the man Mike! The double paradiddle groove is sexy. Thanks!!
Absolute gold love this Mike 🥁
Love your work and lessons Mike 🙏
As usual, another great lesson. Thank you for the time you take to make those videos.
That is a beautiful groove!!

Did anybody get the "I got a Mike here" joke?
I guess I’ll never be a drummer if I have to worry about l,r,l,l,k,r,l blah blah.
It makes me want to just give it up.
It's tough to get better at this instrument if you don't want to think about your right hand, left hand, or your foot. All three are heavily involved in drumming.
