ive tried guitar, piano, flute, recorder, saxophone and none of them has been as fun as drums about to do my grade 5 now! this song is the most awesome thing ive played on drums yet just so fun.
i play the drums but only on a lower grade and my dad is a drum teacher but i just can't seem to get my drum rolls to be smooth. it seems like my left hand lags a lot which i can't seem to correct.
Thanks for watching - It’s practice man! Lots of rudiment practice on the pad, go slow and even and build your speed bit by bit. Drum rudiment playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLcfoni8UPb9o-q9_IfC2z6f47sZcDQ2Tn.html
I'm stuck on the second page at the top because I don't know what hands to use for each note. I'll keep practising though and slow it down hopefully get it soon.
Hi Matthew, thanks for watching. Yes agreed that bit definitely takes the most thinking about, and absolutely the answer is working out which hand is going to play what! I'll do a little breakdown video for this song soon. Cheers!
Hi Mike, I’m still learning grade 4 so it’ll be a few months before I’m learning this. Looks pretty tricky for grade 5 lol. But I was just wondering, does using only one crash make the solo any more difficult? Thanks Also PS: This song and silent alarm were what made me want to become a drummer.
Thanks Josh - For most of these quick demos of grade pieces (such as this) I use my iPhone 6S. For others I use a Zoom Q2n, and others still I use audio recorded through a complete set of drum kit mics into Logic. Cheers!
Hey Mike!! I have noticed there is some difference between this version compared to the original in terms of fills, is there a huge difference or does it not matter that much?
This is the version from the Trinity Rock and Pop Grade course - it's a different arrangement from the original. The most significant thing it's missing is the big "herta" fills - video about that here: th-cam.com/video/IBc8ugtOwCY/w-d-xo.html
Love it! Tho I’m kinda surprised this is grade 5, feels more like a 6 or 7 too me. Same with come together in grade 4 feels more like a grade 5 too me.
Hi Evie, don’t know at the moment, I’m literally playing a gig as we speak! Ha ha, but I’ll check and report back. Also it’s written in the book at the top of the chart!
TYT TRICKSPLIT There’s no official requirement to teach, but if teaching the Grades I personally think it seems reasonable that you would have completed all the Grade syllabus with good scores. Cheers man :)
Ce n'est pas l'original ! C'est l'arrangement de Trinity Rock et Pop Grade 5. C'est une démonstration pour les étudiants qui apprennent cela pour leurs examens. Merci d'avoir regardé :)
@@MikeBarnesDrums Ok , parce que je suis en train de travailler le morceau et je trouvais qu'il y a avait des différences au niveau du refrain. Merci en tout cas. 👍

2 years later!! What grade you on now?!?!
underrated channel
Thanks, really helpful! I watched this video to help with the drum part with the crashes in the guitar solo!
Mike I'm about to set my trinity rock and pop grade 5 drums and you have been a massive inspiration to me THANK YOU
Oh that smile on his face shows the fun of playing tht song 🙂
Cheers Shaun!
Would this version work with the actual song
Largely, yes it would - use your musical common sense to tweak the part so it fits the original arrangement! Cheers.
FULL LESSON for this song found here: th-cam.com/video/NlyzrCIqiTM/w-d-xo.html
Mike :)
Since I can't do my grade 4 exam rn I'm gonna start grade 5 soon and I can't wait to learn this song!
Yeah, this is great! Just recorded a slowed-down practice-along version too: th-cam.com/video/kgfO8263C78/w-d-xo.html
Update: it took a while but I can now play the song at 105%! Going to send in my exam pieces soon

Wouldn’t say I makes it more difficult, it’s just that the variety of tone you get from 2 cymbals is quite cool! Thanks for watching 👊🏻

Hi Mike! Great video as I'm doing this song myself. Just want to ask, what mic were you using to record this?
Thanks Josh - For most of these quick demos of grade pieces (such as this) I use my iPhone 6S. For others I use a Zoom Q2n, and others still I use audio recorded through a complete set of drum kit mics into Logic. Cheers!
I’m on grade 5 now, learnt this song from ear, and I DIDDNT even realise it was in the book 😂😂😂 oops. So I’ve accidentally learnt it 😂😂 rip
thanks a lot Mike. how to make the triplet as fast as you? I found so hard
Regular repetition of your single stroke roll man, it’s a constant build - keep working and you’ll get faster as smoother!
Thank you for making this vedio,I watched it N times when I was learning this song🙂
Cool man, cheers for watching :)

Thanks for watching!
@@MikeBarnesDrums thanks, yeah I see what you mean I like the variance though, always a challenging one and it’s fun to learn it. Love your vids btw
The fills at the middle are like Keith Moon
what’s the bpm for this? thank you
Hi Evie, don’t know at the moment, I’m literally playing a gig as we speak! Ha ha, but I’ll check and report back. Also it’s written in the book at the top of the chart!
Haha, don’t worry I found it. thank you though
... Bruh evertime i see you play it feels ezzz but when i play... Hahahaha
Ah cheers man, it's practice! Everything gets easier and smoother with repetition :) Thanks for watching :)
@@MikeBarnesDrums btw, in what grade to be able to be a drum teacher?
TYT TRICKSPLIT There’s no official requirement to teach, but if teaching the Grades I personally think it seems reasonable that you would have completed all the Grade syllabus with good scores. Cheers man :)
@@MikeBarnesDrums thanks! I want to become a drum teacher when i finished all the grades i got four more to go include diploma
@@Jietttt Good luck, all the best man!
Hi do you drums very good1
Is that a cowbell I hear 👂
It’s the metronome on the track!
@Floofarri 458 I got a fever etc etc
This is the hardest song from grade 5 but I am doing it for my exam!
Me too, in my opinion, it is my hardest song in Grade 5 drum to play.
Yea me too if you dont challenge yourself, you do not imporve, right?
C'est pas exactement comme l'original....

@@BOULROS Travaillez-vous sur la version Trinity Rock et Pop? This version is accurate to that - but different to the original :)
@@MikeBarnesDrums Non je travaille sur la version originale.
