How To Play The Drum Fill From “Two Princes” by Spin Doctors
This is the intro fill right at the start of the song.
Been asked about this a lot and loved this band when I was a kid :)
Great transcription (of the whole tune) here, always brilliant transcriptions by The Drum Ninja: thedrumninja.com/downloads/two...
Have fun and please let me know if any questions,
Mike :)

This is easily the best breakdown of that intro. I’ve been trying to work it out by ear since the 90s lol😂

[@M0jibake]

Great breakdown. This was one of the first songs that made me think "I want to play the drums" as a kid, it's just so funky. Plus the sound of the snare on the recording is incredible.

[@lastchance666]

I love you bcoz you teach with sincerity so, we can learn fast

[@chrismillward9634]

Had that pocketful of cryptonite album on repeat for ages - thanks again, you are always my choice of drummers to check when learning a new song for a dep gig - coffee coming up

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Cheers Chris!

[@td-12kx53]

I’ve always wondered about that! It was easier than I thought. Very cool, Mike! Thanks👍

I just come back to the old ones because I'm that one-in-a-thousand that loves the old rd hydros. As I slowly recover the use of my left hand, I have decided to re-head my old Pearl ELX 7-piece with red hydros. It's emerald mist, so it should make a few eyes bleed, but what the hey. It's my 60th birthday gift to myself. When my wife asks, I'll just say it's more physical therapy. Thanks, Mike.

Good man Steve!

Mike I'm going to start grade 5 so my question is that do I need double pedal for my bass drum and if yes, can I get some advice on which double bass drum pedals to buy. As always love ur videos.

[@MikeBarnesDrums]

Hey man, do you need one? No, not for grades. Optional for use in the fill/solo sections where you're creating your own parts or improvising. I've pretty much always used a Tama Iron Cobra, amazing pedal and has never once let me down in many many years!

[@trazeralmeida2281]

Thanks man
