@@TotalDrummer Yes sir, you're welcome! I watched a few of your other videos also and really like what you're doing. You got yourself a new subscriber! Best wishes from across the pond!
Thank you for the great details shared here. The playing on this song and the compositional element is so tasteful and complements the song beautifully! I have always struggled with subdividing the press roll after the first guitar solo. Love to know how you are playing that ? i.e. the framework, semi-quavers, sextuplets?
That's actually a great question SFJ98. I'd be interested to know what other people do but for me I'm not thinking subdivisions. I find that it hinders a smooth roll and I it leads a to a clunky roll. Because I want the roll to be the same no matter what tempo, subdivision, etc and so I don't want that smoothness affected by the usual constraints of tempo, subdivision, feel, etc. So you could practice playing the roll until you feel comfortable without click and music. Then try playing with a click at various tempos and try not to change the grip, speed or anything else in your roll. But then the trick is executing that technique independent of the rhythm in teh music, whilst simultaneously keep the beat of the song in your head so you start and finish the roll in the correct place. Sorry if I haven't explained that well in text but basically my head is aware of teh beat of the song but my hands are executing the roll technique independent of that. But, it would be cool to hear how others do it.
@@TotalDrummer That's appreciated. Yes, I do see what you mean - link it to your 'inner pulse' and don't get hung up about the subdivision. These subtle rolls crop up in SK's playing. How about the fills in Oh I wept? They're amazingly subtle and I have always struggled to fit them comfortably whilst trying to learn them. I am talking about the ghosted snare after the main tom fills.
I'm not sure where you mean@@SJF98 There are the tom fills going into the chorus but I don't hear ghost snares. There is a hi-hat (which might be hi-hat pedal with foot) and I'm wondering if you mean that note?
@@TotalDrummer Apologies, maybe was unclear. On each of the descending tom fills after the crash onto the downbeat there is a snare stroke (on the 'e' I think?). It's such a nice touch because they stop those fills breaking up the lilting feel (to my ears anyway!).
You forgot to mention that the snare doubles up during the last part of the solo. SBSBSB.. building to the 16th roll instead of BhhShhBhhS. Sorry for crude notation. "hh" of course means high-hat.
This is awesome, I believe you are the only teacher actually teaching songs on TH-cam👏🏼🥰
Glad you like it.

Drummer from Texas here. Love the breakdowns of these fills. Also loving the accent both in speech and on the drums! ;P
Hey Justin. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the lesson.

@@SJF98 Oh yes, I've got it. Just before the hi-hat. That is a lovely subtle touch.
