Wow! Mike is killing it! I’ve got a whole new level of respect for “pop” drummers!
As a Rock/Metal player I don't listen or play Pop music at all (if that's what Shawn Mendes style is..?) but I do admire Mike's energetic playing, his enthusiasm and I think his groove certainly sits well with this genre. Props bro!
Pop music is completely different from what i'm aiming, but lessons like this one mean a lot no matter what genre you play. Everyone who's achieved their goals is going to have something to teach that you can apply in your own way, and it's beautiful! Rock on 🥁🤘🏻
Rock on
Just waiting for that day when Mike lets me play "In my Blood + Outro" in a live arena haha it's so freaking awesome! This was a great episode!
Sure you will get I think
Hi alejandro love your videos
His energy really comes through the drums/music when he plays. Awesome!
Drumeo: Please list the maker and sizes of the cymbals and drums played on each Drumeo video.
This is basic information that the cameras do not pick up completely. It's not enough to say: "John plays Zildjian cymbals",
or "John plays Yamaha drums".
It would be very helpful to add this information to all the Drumeo videos on the Drumeo TH-cam channel. Thanks.
YES! Thank You!
I love how Mike hops up and down to the pulse! Music is in his soul.. Great drummer!
Man this guys fills are amazing!
I'm really inspired - this was a great video, and put a great drummer on my radar I hadn't heard of before. Hes doing pop drumming real proud, and I got a lot out of seeing and hearing about his integration of electronics, as I'm currently adding to my setup. Thanks Drumeo!
I'm 5 mins into this - and already I can tell that he is seriously underrated! Going into the studio this weekend for an artist whose writing is similar, and this is extremely helpful.
This is absolutely beautiful ❤ i think many drummers have to hear this from such an great Musician/Drummer 🙏 so many good points, we all have to keep in mind. Thanks for your Time 🎼🥁
love Mike's approach to drum parts!
Wonderful player. Wonderful energy. Very cool introduction to him, for me.
Wooow! 🔥 Thanks for sharing! 🤩 Amazing perspectives, especially #5! 💯
This is cool. The sound, the precision, the beat, so cool. I wanna learn to drum like this. Love it❤❤❤❤
Loved this, boy got skills!
Great interview! Thanks 🙏🏼
I like what was said about being an adaptable musician. I think that's really important. Nice video Drumeo!
Mike seems like a really nice and humble person!! Love this interview
Such a great lesson!
This guy gets it!! This was great!!
The “understanding the artist section” is VITAL info!
Yes
Diggin' his energy both in drums and in convo 👌🏻
Such an incredible episode. What a great perspective...Mike's d'man...
😍
"After the whole Nirvana...that era."
Ever felt yourself turn to dust before?
Lol yah I definitely misspoke a bit there…that Unplugged is one of the greatest live albums ever
🥰
Great video and really inspiring!
Yes
Great conversation. Thank you Mike and Drumeo for making this happen!
🥰
That's how a drummer should sound. Not over the top or bland either, just enough to elevate the music and make your foot tap. Never seen before, or not aware of but a fan of him now, very musical.
nice video, nice little tips
that cymbal seccion at 2:58 was very nice !!
Awesome 🔥🔥🔥
🥰
I like his drumming
Talent + work ethic = your best shot at making it.
Solid as STEEL. bad ass!!!
Those drums sound amazing , especially the floor toms, not a real fan of the snare sound but, hey ! great drumming.
Great information! If Drumeo or Mike sees this, may I know what his SABIAN cymbal setup is here? Thanks!
Love this fill 2:44!
Me too
Mike , well said
Thanks Tom!
Thank you for sharing….I’d love to learn drums only I’m not coordinated 🤪
What a nice guy.
Very humble guy who clearly made to the "top", but it would be interesting to know how he got there, which techniques or rudiments he considered essential and whether or not he had any formal training.
this guy is on fire🔥🔥 🔥
Never heard of this band, but those lyrics are hilarious. Nice guys. Lol
bro that was fucking incredible
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
keep your ears and heart open, and you'll find learning opportunities all around you. genre, style, skill level, etc. are all irrelevant categories that will limit what you can learn, how you can grow, the music you can make. never heard mike before but damn if he didn't drop some universal drumming, musical, and inter-personal ideas on us. i've literally taken heavy double-bass drumming musical ideas and applied them to my jazz combo playing to great effect. as in life, the more diversity, the better things can be. no one will be worse off for taking a little tony williams/miles, or ringo/beatles, or peart/rush, or mike sleath/shawn, or [insert drummer/group here] and adding them to their "gig bag"...
luv
I just came up with a paradidle pattern on the snare and racktoms, and now I'm off, I can do crazy quick stuff now.
The paradidle is a crazy rudiment my guy! Seriously it's a very underattwd fill , we just need to learn how to apply it on our fills and grooves, you'll be surprised of the new ideas you could create !
@@wolfme8644 yes, and the speed also, because you move much more efficiëntly. Singles can be good for some things but often I think doubles sound better, till now I just didn't figured them out well
Now add in different paraddidle variations and swiss army triplets
After this I am gonna add Shawn Méndez to my Netflix list
Mike's drum kit (I know theres insane ones outhere) but it makes mine look like a argos kids toy drum kit
DW Exotic Mapa Burl. It's a beauty!
Beautiful
Drumeo Going to hit 2 M subscribers! Very Noice
Im next. 😅
The video title seems incomplete 🤔
Can anybody tell me what he's using for dampening on the snare and toms? I can only find a product similar to the snare dampener, and I'm seeing them everywhere! I want one! lol
The brand is 'Snareweight' and it looks like he's using the M80 model specifically, they're definitely some of the best dampeners on the market
@@drummerdan95 Thank you so much! I've only seen the one he has on the snare drum, but (like I said) I've been seeing them in TONS of videos lately.
Thanks again!
I wanna see Eloy Casagrande ON Drumeo, for sure will be one very good episode
woooo what's going on here is this some kind of prank, we've already seen this you released this lesson about a month back
1:02 Mhaaan If i have a feeling like this when I play drums, I don't even eat or sleep.I just play drums..
Pog
Like that's
hii
Im also pumping here… ahahaha
Guys…I think having Mike Johnston on the channel is way overdue 😬
Clean pop drumming eh..... Seems like a nice guy.
I think to write this guy off because you aren’t a Shawn Mendes fan is a disservice to him and yourself. Always try to learn, especially from a pro. Also I will say, as a Shawn Mendes fan, the song choice wasn’t great and I don’t particularly like these two songs. Shawn has much better songs now.
subtitles please
dude has some Jon Moffett going on
If everything is triggered, why is tuning so important?
Im very unawear when it comes to electronics.
We want Mike Portnoy
Great player, but Geezus, like, I mean, he's like good and like solid, and I like like his playing..
I like this
I never hit my cymbals too hard cuz I know the amount I've paid for them.. Maybe 2 times in an extreme situation when a fight came up in a crowd between the songs
dear Drumeo, Make the same kind of video with MattMcguire............ And @MattMcguire no Videos From Your TH-cam Channel :( We Need a #Comeback With Your Channel.
#MattMcguire Fans Like Here :)
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 I don't know if it's the lyrics
Lol I said the same thing. Was waiting for the end where she goes “No.” then the incoming nice guy meltdown.
That right shoestring gave me anxiety.
Bring Larnell Lewis back
And Matt garstka

you need to start drumming at early ages, 2-4 hours every day of practicing and a lot of money. Ez
@@seangill898 yes, you do
@@vakasPastando nah not at all
And there is this crazy filll....plays 6 notes. I know he is capable of badassery I just thought that was funny.
Simple fills can be crazy depending on context!
He plays well but I really don’t like this kind of drumming 😅😅😅
Больше понтов, а не игры!!!!! this is minus!!!!
this is just like how Taylor Hawkins was stuck playing for a shitty pop band before playing real music lol
1:06
Geeky guy doing devil horns to a guy playing a pop song doesn't work.
The first thing you need to know is that in Canada there is NO WORK. For pro musicians , ask me how I know
This guy is cool and his advice is valuable, but Shawn Mendes' music has got to be the definition of forgettable pop drivel.
its purely money driven so theres no chance for it to even sound original the same reason as why kpop never sounds original imo
@@ojberrettaberretta5314 'money driven' ?? Who are you to judge intent?
@@DrumeoOfficial i am the voice of the unheard.
Wish he wouldn't bop up and down in his seat like that, way too animated and it's distracting
