*** Hopefully very helpful in your learning of my opinion of the 'drumming' & ins-and-outs of ZZ Top's LA GRANGE, from their wonderful 1973 album TRES HOMBRES.
This video contains no actual music whatsoever. It is just me teaching and playing. - บันเทิง

Frank Beard is an absolute metronome.
facts
I have struggled for a couple of years to find a drummer who's enthusiasm and commitment to his beliefs exude so much passion. Your interpritaion of "La Grange"....warts and all, is amazing.The mistakes are unbelievably helpful for young drummers starting on the long road. All they see on you tube are well rehearsed clips with no errors. You havea taught me so much about the way Frank Beard played this song..... A bit too many shuffle options for my liking, I just play it straight with snare accents on the two and four but hey ooh your research is amazing....You have brought a smile to my face ...keep on posting!!!....Baz the Brit
Any real drummer knows that this is the way we learn. Nice to see an actual learning process and at the same time this guy teaches! Great stuff! Keep em coming!
this dude is hyper and humorous.
Love this. In particular I like your humor and willingness to stop, start, screw up, do it again until you get it right. That's all of us.
I would love to take drum lessons from you. You're so fun!
One of the best online lessons i have ever seen. This guy plays and explains in a way that I can totally follow. Thanks man!
Always nice to watch the crazy drummer demonstrate techniques, always looking forward to your new stuff.
Yannick Senecal Thanks Yannick!
dude your killing me bro. Haha love the way you explain things and have fun at the same time awesome bro
Great vid, Terry, this is one of my favorite songs, I could never get my head around the fills but you have explained them very well. Thanks
Hey Terry it's me again. Wanted to tell you I had my schools talent show today and did a drum solo of course and won. Everyone was telling me I was fantastic and people were mesmerized. Just wanted to tell you without you and my other favorites I wouldn't have done that. Have a happy holiday season, Caleb.
Caleb L Thanks Caleb! Congrats!!
So glad I found your channel! I love your enthusiasm and your knowledge. Can't wait to watch your videos and incorporate the lessons into my practicing. Cheers!
+Daniel Macca Thank you, Daniel!
I like the fact that you mention it’s the way You hear/heard it on the 73 recording. My friend was saying there was a bass drum note first on the flam triplet triplet break, whereas I don’t hear the bass drum note. Cool, love the tutorial!🥁
you are a trip man, I love watching your videos, learn a lot even tho been playing 40 years, my left had aint no good either, ha ha.
All music lessons should be like this !!
Terrific energy, knowledge and insight. Thank you. One of the all time great "feel" tunes. Hard enough to play the groove, nigh impossible to replicate the feel.
Thank you, thank you! I’m a long time musician but new drummer. After mastering Back In Black (cool shades, ha ha) and some basic beats, learning to play with others. It’s been a challenge being the drummer, realizing you’re the time keeper and then start to fall apart but jump back in. All in good time.
I appreciate this video you made with all the other options and ways it sounds from recording to recording. I just subscribed to you because I like your honesty and how you break it down a bit more than others who just show me a great tab or no tab but play it straight though and call that a lesson.
I have just been playing the shuffle on the ride more vs the snare with ghost note to note two times each measure and 1, 2, 3, 4 on the kick.
Love you breaking down the fills too! Thank you! Keeeeeep on rockin’
I love you man! You are really a good instructor and a great drummer. I also like your personality. I guess what I’m trying to say is you’re just a cool guy and we really appreciate what you’re doing!
I wish you had of been my drum teacher 30 years ago man, you rock!
bonzoleum- thanks for breaking it down so thoroughly. This is a very cool shuffle, and you're right that he played this super tight on the recording.
+Sam Saltzman Thank you, Sam!!!! That he did!
Sensational lesson. Best one I've seen, never boring or drab. Thanks. It's not only informing, but entertaining. I'm definitely trying out your suggestions.
Dude. I learned so much about this song from this video. Thank you so much for that!
Very good ! You're an outstanding teacher. Very insightful! Love how you zero in on the subtle and organic side of drumming. Has helped my playing , and I play bass! Cheers Keep them comming!
man youre such a cool guy. learn a lot watching these videos
just wanted to join the chorus of other drummers on here and say thank you. Excellent video
thank you,,, your lesson makes me happy,,, I am a guitar player but always was wondering about that intro,..,thanks for breakin in down
Moved from Midwest to the South and it is so nice to hear a great Chicago accent again! I loved this video...learning this song for my cover band and wanted just a little help with a couple of the fills. This was perfect. Can't wait to check out some more of his videos!
I don't play drums but i loved this video, very entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. thanks for putting it together
You're the real deal man.Love your lessons and breakdowns of parts.I have been playing 35 or so years and my left hand sucks too!Entertaining.Educational,and of course you can play !!!!Keep it up.Keep it real,thanks man,glad I found your lessons!!!!
Thanks Ramsay-I appreciate it! I'm glad you found them too! Happy 2018!
I want to thank you for these videos! I'm a teenage drummer whose been watching these for about a year or two and they really help! I think personally you should put more videos of music from other bands like Van Halen, Cream, etc. that would be really cool to watch a breakdown from since no one on the internet has any videos of songs from those bands. Anyway thanks again and keep up the good work!
Thank you, Ricky!
or maybe some Black Sabbath or The Jimi Hendrix Experience
good video from an obvious drum lover. Those triplets he played in the second break bewildered me for years! The other stuff I could figure out. I finally figured out that the triplets aren't so hard to play
You have taken all the scary technical crap and broke it down beautifully!! I have watched like 20 + videos that made me back them up over and over...I'm get this in the first 5 minutes.. There are teachers and then there are down to earth guys like you that can just teach.. this amazing... you are my new sensei!! Now I've got some journey tunes to work out and ball room blitz...
Thank you, Husker!!
appreciate all of your videos..i ve been watching them for a couple of years i think.. sometimes i find myself reexploring songs ive played for years and end up hearing something different that youve heard, and changing my own arrangement.. anyway, i appreciate your effort. thanks
We Love Terry!
Been following for several years now, and learned a LOT of Zeppelin from him.
I always leave his lessons smiling or outright laughing, he's such a goof 😂. What a great personality!
This is one of those songs that sounds easy until you try to play it. Awesome lesson.
Thanks, Eric!
So relatable! Refreshing to learn along with you!
I love your videos! Thank you very much for sharing your talent and skills! Keep on Rockin!
Thank you for helping me learn this! I was lost, lol.
Thanks for the great vids.
Thanks for your time.
You Rock!
Best lay out of how to play something EVER. You Sir...are a GOD!
Dude, I really gotta say that you have a great video personality and, of course, the knowledge as well. Keep on keepin' on!
You are the man! Great teacher - thanks for the lessons m8!
IVE BEEN STRUGGLING PLAYING THIS SONG FOR YEARS THANKS FOR THE TIPS
Terry what a great song to share one of my favorites swing shuffle beats what I do is I use the kick drum single note then double at the same time when I'm creating the shuffle with my snare kick drum boom ..... boom boom. That's what the record for the song I could hear in the in the beat
It's good to see a great Drummer like yourself struggle at a Technique . . . Make's me feel better about my own drumming skills ! Cheers Mate from down under . . .
Brought it up in another window. I think he is doing the shuffle with left hand. Watched live (drums view) 2013 was the one I watched. Best view I found. Great lesson. PS... I'm not a drummer, Just a guitarist who wants to learn drums.
Yes-thanks Rtc. He definitely always does it that way live-it's just to me on the original studio version he sounds like he's leaving on of the notes consistently out.
Well done mate... its a real challenge to play this with the right hand playing quarters the the left hand doing most of the work!
This vid did my head in, I always played the shuffle on my kick & the rest 4/4 on the snare & hats, as per my previous post I really did start to understand his fills, but playing a shuffle on both the kick & snare was something I did not expect,, so long story short,,you are the champ & will always be the champ,,because I went to a Jam tonight & those suckers played La Grange & guess who was playing drums...Yes OH baby it was me,,little old me,, how did it go ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, well you should have been there. Thanks Mate Al. from Aussie
+Alan “AJ” Be Thank you sincerely A.J.!
I'm proud! Did you show everyone that A.J. was a force with which to be reckoned?!
You rock! Your teaching style has me laughing and learning all at the same time. Your approach to drumming is fun. Keep it up!!
Brian Ogden Thank you, Brian!
Love your teaching and playing, some of the most class gear aswell, always switching between the vintage premiers and ludwigs, keep it going dude :)
truly enjoyed your lesson....your enthusiasm is infectious. thanks for the help. (cool beans.)
Been watching you for years, and it's lessons like this and "paiste lore" that keep me coming back.
Thanks, AF!
I used a drag, Tap, flam on the opening part with the sticks on the snare rim. For someone who is just learning this part, all you have to do is loop that part, saying to yourself, "a drag tap flam, a drag tap flam, a drag tap flam", etc... with a triplet feel and it comes out exactly the same. Well, that's how I taught it to myself. I think it's the same thing.
Honest and extremely helpful. Thank you.
Love you lessons. You make it easy Bro!!
New Orleans drummer here. You are very entertaining!
+Cori Walters Thank you, Cori!
Loved the video. My dad went to school with Frank Beard's daughter.
I think you are right and he shuffles his left hand and plays quarters with his right. I have a guilty secret I covered this song many years ago as I had a bass player who lived ZZ Top but I never really listened to it as I was never a big Top fan so I just played a shuffle on the snare RR LL RR LL with the occasional ride on the on the 1 and it worked. After watching this I wish I had paid more attention but for me there are drummers one analysis every single beat like John Bonham and Clive Burr and those where one just wings it and for me ZZ Top were in the latter category but I really enjoyed this and made me think about Top in a different light. Eliminator was one of my earliest albums as it was rock but also accessible to parents. This is good fun.
awesome video, excellant!
i had a big troubles with this song, practising it for a long time and never get the sound that i want.. you break it, explain it and that's really the key of this song, that's the way it has to be played.. thank you! like and subscribed!
This great man super well done!
im just find this video and i became your fan.
nice work!!
WOW ! Did,nt expect a reply from the Man ! I,m new to all this Internet & high tech stuff ! l feel like I was born in the Stone Age ! but Thank you ! l love what you're doing ! You are the Coolest drum teacher I,ve ever seen...You are the Man ! Thank you again...!!!
explained very well. I still cant do it however I know what I have to do, very good thanks
I wish I was friends or neighbors with you LOL Thanks for the video, you really have a wealth of knowledge.
Stumbled upon this trying to find a good video to learn the guitar solo... I ended up watching the whole thing. You really are a great teacher. I seriously hope you are giving lessons or working at Berkeley or whatever makes you happy. You've got a great way of holding a student's attention and making learning it fun as hell. I'll be dragging my son's Yamaha electronic drum kit out of the basement and back into my music room just because of this video! Thanks for posting! Edit: okay, I see from your subscriber base that you've got quite a well deserved following. Adding one more to your fold. Thanks again.
Thank you, Scritley!
I haven't been able to play for a decade now due to spinal diseases and I have watched virtually every vid Terry has made since he started (catching up on the last four months as I was out of commission).
He's the best!
Thank you sincerely, Bhakti-I'm glad you're back in commission!
Great lesson on one of the greatest songs ever written...
I've always found the shuffle on the snare fits well for that song, you can also fit it some bass drum doubles and triples, give it Bonham ish feel which I enjoy doing too 😀
Crazy funny, love it. Keep up the good work
You're great for a guy who's just beginning 10 year bass player just picking up the drums sounding pretty decent but whatever you do don't stop me thanks so much Merry Christmas
Thanks- you too!!
Thank You very Much ... Please continue Drum Tutorials... In my opinion your one of the Best ! Cheers :) :) :)
Thank you, Henry!
Awesome! Now I need my band to learn the song..
5 minute shuffle rant 😂 I dig your teaching style my man
Fandango was my intro to ZZ Top in the early 70's, I wasn't into the 80's MTV era.
Sir, you have PASSION ! Thanks
LOL @ 4:55! :-D Nearly weed myself!! Nice video mate.
Man, I love your video's, the talking is all over the place and the playing is right on the money (time-wise and sound-wise) Still, both the talking and playing together makes wonderful sense, great stuff. Thanks a lot.
Another great one Terry! Pretty sure the absence of dynamics live was/is because his drums were/are triggered with dynamic response all set to zero. I also believe I remember reading that a lot of the drum parts were not played live in the studio, in essence. Frank would play a bar or two and then that would be sequenced/looped, recorded back onto tape, and fills spliced in. That's why it's so crazy consistent.
***** No shit? Thanks for the info, Dennis! It's not that he plays it bad live-it's just not the ultra smooth groove sound of the recording.
Nice job! Thank you! Love your humor too! :)
At the 10:25 point in this video, what I do when playing this is grace notes on the first three strokes, then snap my wrist with a bit of authority. All wrist, very little movement in the forearm. The grace notes > 1 and a
TWO! 1 and a TWO! And yes, quarter notes on the ride and bass drum.
Good stuff here! Love your videos.
Also, at the 14:00 point, he stays the same, just switching from ride to hats. Still 1 and a TWO! on the snare. Yes, the grace notes do give the audio illusion that perhaps there's more going on, but that's really just quarter notes on the hats. Hey, hes Frank Beard and this is the Texas shuffle.
At 20:14 point, what I do for the fill is flam on the snare, then single strokes > right foot left foot, floor tom rack tom....then repeat. It comes out sounding like the 1973 Tres Hombres recording. I'm not saying I'm positive that's what Frank plays, but it sounds great when I do it.
cool drummer..love his attitude
You deserve the best :) great teacher
What a fun watching your video. Great job and great entertainment.
This is ef'n carrayzz.. I decided to purchase some old school ZZ on iTunes last night. Today.. I was listening to the songs. When I says to myself.. "It'd be nice if there was a guy like Terry K.. to run through ZZ songs. Terry.. I wouldn't dare disagree with ya on any LZ tunes. However.. I disagree with ya on the main beat your laying down for this. Oh and thanks for the lick at 2100. I needed that one.
My favourite teacher! 😎🤙🏻
I don't know who,This guy is,And,He's all old school right down to the zipped low heel boot,This guy is just very focused on teaching drum techniques.your excellent man
Excellent demo,I dig it.
Yes! That "tiny" snare tap is always in my memory. Like a subtle signal of the Change. Or is it "Chrange". :-)
Just learning this one. Thank you for the tips.
Great informative Video. Your personality and presentation are great
Awesome as always, Terry.
What he’s playing is a Texas shuffle R L FLAM L Kick drum is on 1&3.. Think of Happy Trails or a bourse walking. Same shuffle used on Pride & Joy.
Love it at 7:23 where he says Frank Beard is "solid as Sears".
You might be right about the way he played it.
I never watched him do it but, to my ears, back when I was all "chopped" up, (the 80's), I heard something different and played it a different way.
When counting - 1 and A 2 and A 3 and A 4 and A -
I played my bass drum, only on the "A"s.
Try this "shuffle" and see what you think.
;)
I'm from Houston, and playing La Grange is kinda prerequisite to being a drummer in Texas.
+Paul Chris That's because the beat is called a Texas Shuffle. First heard it when I was stationed in Witchataw Falls in 1964.
+drumsticknow I know exactly what's it's called. But in Texas we call it a double shuffle. I personally know Frank. We pride ourselves on having things named after our great state. But down here we just call it a double shuffle. Plain & simple. We don't go around calling it the "Texas Shuffle"! Thanks for the reply. And thank you for the FYI but I already knew that. But I was just trying to help you since you said you couldn't distinct what Frank was actually playing. Have a nice day & God Bless.
I love this guy!! So honest!!!
This guy is a friggin riot!
super, very very good
Love this! at 4:55, I literally spit out my drink crying laughing Love your videos! Keep it up Great stuff Funny too :)
Guauuuuu tremenda clase de zz top 😝👍😱😲 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Gracias Dany!
La Grange is a small town about 1 hr west of Houston TX. I used to drive pass it during early 2000. Consider ZZ Top is from Houston, I assume they use that town name for their song
