All of your videos are outstanding. Cheers to you for making them. My son is 7 and has been taking lessons and learning "Back in Black" on his own. Your videos have helped him begin to "get it" so he can start to put it together with the music. He wants to learn Sunday Bloody Sunday next because he likes the military style beat. Thanks for producing some very very helpful videos!
Thank you for these videos! I am trying to pick up where I left off 20 + years ago learning to play. Your instructions are easy to follow and having the visual is huge. Thanks again!
Explaining the exact count is very helpful to those still learning. Yes, you can figure it out by ear, when you train your ear. Great video. I very much like this series. Very clear and precise. Well done.
Thank you for breaking this one down. I don't know where I'm at skill wise but I admit that this one scares me because rhythmically it's "illogical" and improvised. This makes it sound more concise and clear.
New drummer* here. Thank you for this tutorial, it was nine minutes and forty-five seconds well spent. Now comes the hours and hours of trying to get it right! Cheers!
Thanks mate but actually I don't get paid by adverts. None of my TH-cam videos have any adverts on them at all. I actually get paid through customers downloading my video lessons from my website at DrumsTheWord(dot)com. Glad my freebies are helping you out. Happy drumming to you! Rob
Sure, that's what I did! Some drummers might not be very good at picking out some of the more subtle things in Larry's playing though. That's hopefully where I can help :)
Thanks for the video. It wasn’t until I heard this I realized I was playing it wrong. I’d start with a 2 stick quad (LLRR) on the snare and a 5th snare note on 1 with the bass. On the high hat I’d play paradiddles. Sounds very similar but the feel is different.
Awesome song, i subscribed to DrumsTheWord.com , well worth it,loads of full version songs explained in a very easy way to learn ,also with the sheet music for the tracks.
I post them to you first class. It's all explained on the DrumMasters page on my website. Let me know if you have any further questions and thanks for your interest! Rob
Thanks a lot, this was really helpful! :-) This song is the reason why I nowadays is a huge U2 fan (I saw the Red Rocks video on MTV in the early nineties.) The drum part is epic! I bought me some drum pads just to finally learn this one. No bass drum but I can tap my foot anyway I guess. :-D How common is it, do you think, that people are inspired by a specific song when choosing to play an instrument? I remember being inspired by U2 when I picked up playing guitar. I think Sunday Bloody Sunday was one of the first songs I learned to play, actually...
+Lena Drake I think a LOT of people get inspired by specific songs and bands to take up their instrument. Falling in love with songs and bands...and then the drums in those songs, was the reason that I now play.
+www.DrumsTheWord.com Yes, I think you're right! It would be interesting to know which songs and bands are most popular in this respect. :-) Would you like to share with us which bands and specific songs that inspired you to start playing the drums (if you remember)?
+Lena Drake Oh, many songs...and I'm not in the mood for listing because it will require way too much brain power on my part! :) Let me just say than my Mum and Dad loved 60's and 70's music, and I'm a kid of the 80/90's who never grew bored of music to this day.
You can check out a load of other U2 songs here if you like... th-cam.com/video/Q1zH5AF_Yjs/w-d-xo.html
I love it. This song is why I took up drumming and you do a great job explaining. Thank You!!

I can't believe I spent so long wondering how Larry Mullen Jr played this song.
Thank you for these videos! I am trying to pick up where I left off 20 + years ago learning to play. Your instructions are easy to follow and having the visual is huge. Thanks again!
25 years ago i was a really good drummer. I just picked up the sticks again and am half the drummer I used to be. It sucks
Absolutely fantastic. Extremely helpful. Thank you
Glad I could help, Brett. Thanks!

Thx for the help I've been trying to learn the beat on my drums for a while
very well described, i play drums and almost only u2 songs but i think any drummer can lear the song just by listening what d u think?
You have a brilliant talent....Watched this video 100 times and still think it will be difficult to match. Maybe i am stupid or dumb or both.
great explanations! not that i needed this one, just to say thanks! :)
