Thanks a lot David, Tried your "Signature Lick" on a gig last night and GOT FIRED! You didn't say anything about NOT using it on ballads! I hope you're happy now!
David, you have a tremendous gift for not only playing the drums beautifully at an advanced level, but you have a wonderful enthusiasm and charisma that is the greatest gift of all. You can teach someone lots of things, but that natural charisma is one thing that can't be taught. I have been playing drums professionally for 40 years and have been around the block a few times. You are right up there with the big dudes. Your marketing skills and videos are excellent and you have a really great love for the instrument that really comes through...again...that enthusiasm. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with the world. Bravo, Paisano!
Aye! Thanks fam! I totally would man, but I have zero method for tuning a snare.... Tbh... I typically just crank it as high and cracking as possible... Hahahaha
Great lesson, David! Very tasty stuff. I'm self taught, and though I've been playing for 35-ish years (in multiple groove rock, metal, punk and pop bands)... I've never really figured out how drummers get those super fast, tasty rolls. I usually rely on double bass quad fills to do the trick. It's effective... but it's limited, and can be a little boring after a while. What's funny is... Chris Adler from Lamb of God uses quad rolls almost exclusively, and he's one of the best, popular metal drummers around. So there's some credence to this technique in this genre. However... having something like this in my arsenal (if I can actually execute it at my age) would be fantastic. Thank you!
He's not even trying to be the best drum teacher ever he just IS for some strange reason, know one else could have taught me this kinda lick.. maybe Gabe or something but damn.... SUSCRIBE
Great lick man! You do change the note value after your first demonstration at 90bpm. Either demo 1 is 45bpm or from demo 2 and on, you play 32’note triplets. Digging it regardless
Awesome lesson!!!!!!! I love it! Please tell me how you get 16th note triplets so well. I struggle with playing them up to speed or in tunes. Please help! Thanks
I've had some favorite drummers in my day. Starting with Kieth Moon, Bill Bruford, and of course that crazy cat ... Barney Rubble. But now it's Cola. I'm really not sure the music of today can handle your tap'n.
That frustrated me. I'll have to spend an hour a day for a week to play that clean. You're as good as any of the top cats on here, or better. I'm saying you, or Orlando Drummer? Battle? And you were only getting cruise ship gigs not too long ago? Do you start to feel all your licks are just "tricks"? I think you're gonna be just fine!
An hour a day for a week? This guy has trained 6 hours a day for 2 years + thousands of other hours, so you shouldn't be frustrated :) There is no talent, there is a very, very very VERY very hard and steady work behind a player as good as David Cola :)
Intro (drumming) and outro music menu thing. SOLID Verbal intro goofy funny ehh ?! BUT that video was so plasma man. Like id say it was solid but it just needs to be confusing and another state of matter.
+DavidColaDrums Ah I guess what I said wasn't very clear. The video was cool I just decided to say it in some goofy way. And I think you over predict how bad I was at snare. But never the less SICK VID
You are a great drummer really and i live your content but seriously you dont call something your signature thing yourself, that's supposed to stem from other people calling it your signature move. No offense intended and love your vids.

This comment is just AWESOME! Love it!

SO clean! I'd love if you did a snare tuning video, it's so sick.
Aye! Thanks fam! I totally would man, but I have zero method for tuning a snare.... Tbh... I typically just crank it as high and cracking as possible... Hahahaha
Those licks are one thing.. but that deep pocket is a whole other story. Keep it up!!
Why this channel doesn't have more subscribers is beyond me..
David ! I'm sending this to my thirteen year old grandson who has just passed his drumming Grade 6 in England and hopes he follows you from now on !
This is my first drum lesson. You helped me develop some appreciation for drums. Thanks.
Make more vids!!! I've watched this multiple times and have been going through these as a daily routine/warmup. You're a great drummer, keep it up. 👍🏻
Ok seriously, how much have you had to drink?? Why do I get the feeling it's like 3 am and your feeling diddle. 😁
NBT 3 I thought the same thing the minute he started talking
I have only recently started following and I thought the same thing.... but if he is drunk and still playing like that .....well.....just wow
@@BEElaine1008 nope, he is the real deal! Amazing chops.
@@nbt3663 Oh I know that...,he just doesn’t sound that way now...speech wise....maybe he was in a weird mood 😆
dude this is so epic I can't stop watching
My new favorite drummer.
Just learned this lick! It is so sick! Having fun sticking it in some songs right now! Thanks David!
Such an awesome drum lick... Love yourteaching style too... Keep up the great work...
Your snare always sounds so perfect!

You’re a really nice drummer
YOU SIR... HAVE JUST CHANGED MY LIFE!!
What? You figured away to kill time by taking a few shots whole doing the laundry, uh... at 3am? 😀
He's not even trying to be the best drum teacher ever he just IS for some strange reason, know one else could have taught me this kinda lick.. maybe Gabe or something but damn.... SUSCRIBE
Beautifully done sir. Really brilliant.👏👏👏☮️

That snare man im e r e c t
Loved this lesson. Great job!
Great lick man! You do change the note value after your first demonstration at 90bpm. Either demo 1 is 45bpm or from demo 2 and on, you play 32’note triplets. Digging it regardless
Muchas gracias máster saludos desde Colombia
That RlRllK sounds so sick!
Been inspired by Tony Williams, Peter Erskine, Carter Beauford, Will Kennedy.. and now David Cola! Isn’t that cool! :))
Great lesson bro! You should cover "She's American" from the new 1975 album!
SEI TROPPO FORTE DAVID COLA ❤❤❤❤❤
Nice well played
Great video man!
Amazing lesson!!!!! Your good!!
nice lick! minor detail: where you demonstrate the full lick @ 90 bpm, it is actually 45 bpm considering you are playing in sixtuplets.
Awesome lesson!!!!!!! I love it! Please tell me how you get 16th note triplets so well. I struggle with playing them up to speed or in tunes. Please help! Thanks
where can I get the pdf sheet music for this lick?
Amazing !
espectacularrr
Sick! Can't wait tp try this baby out. Thanks a lot! :)
Yo! I'm glad you enjoyed! Hit me up when you get it! Would love to see some more variations!
+DavidColaDrums Will do!
Do a lesson on how you personally mix your drums!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:13.... 3:56.... This is actually pretty freakin' cool. And useful.
I subscribed bucause I can feel your passion :-)
curious, are you using a double pedal?
Awesome vid! What's the song at the end of the video?
Thanks David!
What model sticks are you using? I couldn’t find it in the descriptions
you are good drummer tq..
Foot cam? Heel up or down ?
this is infinitly helpful
Awsome, thanks!
hello explain to me how you play the paradiddle with the snare and the hi-hat (berkeley2) you tube video 17.39 thank you very much
5:00 check out my hi-hat,has a mind of its own
Awesome. Thx!
Thanks for the lesson! :)
What kind of stick do you have?^^
Love it!
nice idol ❤️ im from philippines 🙏
David looks like the guy in a movie that has a perfect life and then has to do something out of his comfort zone to help someone else
Great 🥁🔥🥁
I've had some favorite drummers in my day. Starting with Kieth Moon, Bill Bruford, and of course that crazy cat ...
Barney Rubble. But now it's Cola. I'm really not sure the music of today can handle your tap'n.
Excellent breakdown. Thanks! Btw, are those 13" hats or is the cam just making them appear smaller? Drum on man!!
Next time I drum this is what I'm learning. Luckily 6 stroke roll is one of my main rudiments already haha
yeee
Thanks!
myy gosh dude, you're hilarious!
sweeet lick too, I'll give it a rip!
But can you play Mandatory Suicide?
Good goly that snare
LMBO at 1:48!
If Austin Powers played the drums, lol. I mean that in a good way, I love that dude. Great Drummin'!
That's sweet
6:28
So sweet
Bravissimo
David! Turn some heat on in there!
Have you been drinking ?
Hehehehehe do his sticks move fast??
That was cool. I feel reasonably certain there was some chemical influence at play as well.
FUEGO🔥🔥
I already suscribed and followed u on instagram
U rock
dang!
Cola that name make me want to go to get a pop
You r a beast
Just learned this holy shit this is a hard one hahah
Dang that snare got a lot of reverb lol
David your a nut but i like you...Awsom skills my friend Awsom skills👌👍
This lick is much better than Coca Cola.
(think kinks here)

Cola
But what is your
_S i g n a t u r e C o l a ?_
That frustrated me. I'll have to spend an hour a day for a week to play that clean. You're as good as any of the top cats on here, or better. I'm saying you, or Orlando Drummer? Battle?

Calo
Drumeo need to employ you
Them headphones tho
Ok so let's call it the Cola Tripple... uh shuffle??
The Cola Fizz?
This is not a six-stroke-roll.. its paradiddlediddle... six stroke roll has different note value for these 2 accents..
he, he he...played it in a trade over a standard...
Intro (drumming) and outro music menu thing. SOLID
Verbal intro goofy funny ehh ?! BUT that video was so plasma man. Like id say it was solid but it just needs to be confusing and another state of matter.
Haha bro, because of how much I broke this down. You should be able to do it just from your 3-4 years of concert snare playing!
+DavidColaDrums Ah I guess what I said wasn't very clear. The video was cool I just decided to say it in some goofy way. And I think you over predict how bad I was at snare. But never the less SICK VID
stop confusing me bb
but thank you ;)
Wait, who the fuck is David Cola?
Sounds like someone from family guy
You are a great drummer really and i live your content but seriously you dont call something your signature thing yourself, that's supposed to stem from other people calling it your signature move. No offense intended and love your vids.
Cola? That isn't a real name right?😅
It must be cold there?....wtf all that on and playing are yyou in a meat locker?
Definitely drunk
