- Alex Van Halen rules! Always been in my top 3 favorite drummers! Always creative add always exciting and you always know it’s him!
Modern Drummer asked me to put a video lesson together. Alex is on the cover of their most recent Legends issue, so I figured I’d give it up to him and go back to the first time we heard his awesome double bass drum shuffling!
This is from Van Halen I, released back in ‘78!
Such a great barn-burning track with so much groove, power and creativity on top of the relentless double kicks!
A huge thanks to Alex for all the decades of kick ass charismatic drumming, and thanks to Billy Amendola and all at Modern Drummer, Ludwig, Paiste, Remo, Canopus Snare Wire, and LAR sticks for their great products! And hats off to Leedy, as I’m using by 5x14 snare drum I’ve had since I was 9 that has a real distinctive tone to it.
Soon come: look for an even more in-depth, complete, top to bottom video lesson breakdown of this track on my website.
Right now, you can go there and sign up for Breaking Down Bonham. Rock And Roll and The Crunge are available!
Drum on!

This is soooooo good! Brian has all the little nuances that a lot of guys would miss. He's just a massive drummer.
Alex Van Halen is so underrated.
Forgot how good Alex is
And it was 1977 he was the first doing something like that
TICHY RULES !!!
❤EVH GOAT FOREVER❤
...and that kids, is how you rock the house!
That snare sounds so perfect.
Killer performance of a killer tune. Love it!!!
Fackme 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Alex is fantastic and it was 1977 he was the first doing something like that
2 brothers 2 amazing musicians
Thank you Brian respect 🤩
Thanks. Made my day. Spot on. One if the finest American drummers. Krupa, Rich, Cobham, Van Halen 🇺🇸
Brian, you really need to post more video's of you drumming. Not drumming with a band but just you behind the set doing various grooves and even drumming to various songs such as this one. We need more video from you. Awesome drumming Brian !!!!
Brian , more drum along brother 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥⚡️
Inspiring! Every time I watch Brian play I feel the need to immediately get behind my drums!
Same
Me three
And then I need to clean my drums up to list them for sale :). Sounds incredible, as always, Brian!
Me too, except I don't have a set. 😄
No matter who he plays with always kills it White Snake Foreigner all of them
This is so flippin’ good.
Awesome job! Spot on, every snare and bass drum hit, the swing on the ride in the chorus, the drum fills sounds exactly like the album! Very cool how you got all of Alex's nuances!
Same thing I thought. So many try but just get through it. This dude pays attention to the inbetweens that make Alex so good.
@@mikes51501 absolutely! Alex had a ton of cool nuances in his drum style!
It puts the lotion in the basket!!!
Dam.....well done and your timing!! Magnifico!!!!
“Put the **ckin lotion in the basket”!!! 🤣
Hilarious, I’m going to start using that line…
Awesome job Brian .... And a fine tribute to The King Of The Rocket-Boogie Al V. H.
Absolutely freakin’ nailed it!
Dude, beyond sick! 🤘🤘
Masterful! 👌🏻🤩
Yeah… this dude can play.
Great drumming. Musicians were breaking ground daily back then. Thanks for covering this tune.
You're a beast. Snare drum sounds amazing!
Killer tune! Killer drumming!
Thanks Brian!
HELL YEAH!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
MONSTRUOSOO !! MASTER TICHY!!! LOVED IT
Nailed it !!
And Then Some !! 👍
Damn Dude you killed it!!🤘
This is awesome! Brian knows how to play it. Wow!!! A lot of great drummers will not drum this like Brian does. It ain't easy but every hit is like the original. Alex is/was an underated drummer that's for sure.
Hope to see more from you Brian!!!
Bro, fantastic job on not only the playing but the tone and feel. So many try that song and fall short on the little nuances that make Alex Alex, very impressive. Hope you use your skills in original music too man. You got some tone bro
Top marks my man!
hell yeah !!!!
Look at these little kids
Takin’ care of the music biz
Awesome cover brother!!
Perfect
Sweet jiminy crickets!
カッコイイ❣️👍🥁
Amazing job Brian. For some reason, I never heard the double pedal in this song before. I always thought he played single pedal on this. I always learn something when I watch your videos. Snare sounds phenomenal. I agree with you on how great Alex has been. He's in my top three also.
They didn't have double kick pedals when this was recorded
I am so happy that I found your channel. You are a major inspiration. Please upload More videos.
Excellent
1:47, one of the first things that broke me as a kid lol NAiled it as usual.
you are amazing !!! An inspiration to keep playing and learning!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good job Brother
Always a treat to watch you play, Brian. Keep 'em coming. 🤘🏻
You was literally running! I struggle with one foot pedal 🤣
Amazing!🤘
Nice work
Love the fact the only parts where there isn't double bass is the pre chorus, and drop down part... great work out for the legs :)
Very very nice!! Well done!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nailed it! Well done!
Just great! You nailed it.
This is incredible.
Bad Ass!
Badass
Superb drumming. He plays it even better than Alex !
Great!!!
Excellent.
This is amazing Brian!
Brilliant!
Excellent Brian my friend🤙🥁🤙. Grettings from Las Vegas NV🤙🥁🤙⚡
most impressive part is that amazing Supraphonic tone without it even being a Supraphonic!
Leedy snares have their own tone as well. It’s pretty unique. But this one that I’ve had since I was 9, seems to have even more “throat” than I’ve heard in other Leedy snares...
Superb 👏
Saw u playing with B. Idol in Serbia, u and Stevie kicked ass on Gibsons on Mony Mony, u r really amazing both on drums and guitar, all the best.
Wow, totally killed it....that snare tone, omg...i read below it's a vintage Leedy ?...
Thanks! Yes, a mid- 60’s 5x14 wood Leedy..
@@Briantichydrums Amazing, has the tone and bark of 6.5
@@HushAngel yes it has a nice bark and nice throat. I just found a duplicate Leedy 5x15 1965 blue satin and bought it … it has the same qualities ! (This snare was a blue satin before I removed the wrap back in the 80’s! )
@@Briantichydrums 15'' ? that is ultra rare in 5inch depth...great find...
@@HushAngel sorry I meant 14”
Bryan so good one the best .
Killer!!! 💪💪💪
Of course, Alex was the master of the double bass drum pedal but not the only one.
To do this very-fast-driving hard rock number on the drums, you need to know not only triplets in and out, you need to know other parts of compound meter/shuffle mastery to do this well. That is, if you "eat, drink, and sleep triplets" - you will get this down!
The original recording of "I'm the One" goes roughly around 208 bpm, but I think it is 215-220 bpm to the quarter.
Tip to do that double-kick shuffle groove if you are L foot dominant - if your L foot is the strong foot, do the quarter notes on the first bass pedal, and then with the 3rd triplet after the quarter, use the R foot on that second bass pedal. Use a sort of "flam action" on both feet - there needs to be a one-triplet gap or close to it - to get those shuffle triplets not just right, but "thundering right!"
Additional tip - for the strong foot, use a stronger action, for the weak other foot, use a sort of lighter action.
The trash-can outro of course starts with a cymbal trill, then the double bass drum trill, then working the kit, and then, da "crash out."
Superb playing as usual! Will you please consider doing a cover from the Sammy era? Cheers!
Hermosa!!!
DO DAMN GOOD BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!
FUK yeah!!!
Amerikan Kaos also rules
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Great job Brian! What ride are you using in this video? I just got a 2002 24" Ride!!!!
Man, I was like green monster kit with some Van Halen - sweet! Haha that snare is sick - does it have the old school stick chopper rims on it?
Thx. I don’t know what chopper rims are. But the bottom rim I believe is the original and the top is die cast...
You are a killer
WHERE THE HELL YOU BEEN?!
Do know any China Rain?
Damn man, snare tone kicks ass. What ride cymbal is that by the way?
Great playing!
Thx! It’s a prototype: 24” 2002 w reflector finish...snare is Leedy 5x14 wood from the 60’s I’ve had since I was 9..
@@Briantichydrums Cool, thanks 😁
@@Briantichydrums man that snare is PURE GOLD....dont ever let it go....I sold a 1933 radio king, regretted it ever since
How is the bass tuned and muffled? Do you tune the tom heads evenly top bottom?
Both heads on the lower side as it has a hole and a small towel in it. Toms= bottom head pretty tight , top heads not as tight .. a little above medium ish / until you get the desired note
Brian Van Tichy. 😂😂😂
Anyone know how he tunes his kick? Looks like a 26"?
@@bigirishe it’s tuned pretty low.. it has a hole in it in this vid ..
@@Briantichydrums Do you have a blanket or something in there as well? Sounds killer, thanks!
@@bigirishe usually maybe just one little hand towel against the reso , but it depends on the heads … the batter is prob an amb , so may have a little towel inside resting on it or outside under the pedal to muffle a little extra ring for recording
PHHS Alumni.............
Dude, check out Portnoy's version. You played it better than he did!
better in what way? both awesome..
