The Pretender Drum Tutorial - Foo Fighters

This drum tutorial for The Pretender by Foo Fighters breaks down the fills and beats you need to play along with the song. I've added a bit more "playthrough" stuff in this lesson, so let me know in the comments if it's helpful in this format. Enjoy!

I know you probably won’t see this but your videos are so useful. I keep having trouble trying to learn by ear and end up here.

[@LearnSomeDrums]

Happy to help!

[@creator6182]

😅 same here

[@Fr3akyPL]

I'm the noob drummer, just been practicing for a year now. I've started learning couple songs recently, among others "the pretender". I find out you got best lessons over youtube: with slow tempo, divided into small parts, each explained step by step, all sections with accurately notes - this really help in learning. Very thanks and waiting for more! Still few weeks ahead of me before I play the whole song :)

[@LearnSomeDrums]

+Fr3akyPL Awesome! It sounds like you’re taking the time to get everything in place and not just rushing through the whole song - I love it 👍

[@RodStewart_Geek]

I'm not even a drummer and I watched this entire tutorial. This is a seriously well done lesson, kudos to you.

[@mortismetal1177]

i wanted to learn this for a while. no good tutorials on youtube except this this guy

[@veseres]

The extra playthrough was great!

[@Big_C_4205]

Why aren’t these monetized? Learning, playing, and then teaching these songs is hard work!

[@LearnSomeDrums]

They should be! Some weeks the small amount of ad revenue is all that keeps me going 😂😂

[@justinhamilton997]

Thank you for this song tutorial! I see I got some things right practices going this song before the video came out! Do more of your song tutorials like this where you put the beats together so we can hear it all. Very nice job!

[@flohardy2000]

Maybe one of the best tutorials I've ever seen

[@chimeradrums5448]

This format playing it through like that helps a lot thank you so much

[@gabriellucas8093]

Probably not going to see this but love the video, it helped a lot. The only thing is that at the end during the part that leading into the outro instead of hi hat, it’s a ride cymbal on the quarter note and during the outro, instead of ride notes, it’s an open hi hat on the quarter note except beat 1 of all 4 bars. But this video helped a lot in the middle section during the few parts that were just a bit too muddy for me to figure out. But every time I don’t know a song, I look for your vids because you break it down very nicely, so keep it up

[@urielsosa6231]

Can you always do those playthroughs of everything you teach in your videos. It helps tremendously and ive always wanted you to do it. Cheers

[@alistairrigby6375]

i'm learning it differently with my drum teacher, is it because i'm still a beginner, or did he just not know the bars?

[@LearnSomeDrums]

Not sure. I only figure it out by listening closely, so maybe your teacher is hearing it differently to me. You can work on playing both ways and then pick your favourite 😃
