How to Play the 'Hot For Teacher' Drum Intro

- This is one way to play this iconic drum part, or at least come pretty close IMO. Below is a link to the drum tab that I used for this video lesson:

IMPORTANT CORRECTION: Please see the pinned comment for a correction: hertas are counted as groups of 3 eighth notes, not as eighth note triplets.
Thanks for watching and rock on, groovy peeps! 🤘🤘 - เพลง
Sorry...love it but hertas are not triplets. The transcription even shows they're not triplets in the opening. Not sure why everyone thinks two 16ths and an 8th, etc are triplets!
Good point -- thanks for the correction! As I said, I'm not great at musical notation...
@@MikeConwayDrums Pay no attention to the Karen’s out there! 😉
Thank you for your work out.
Waiting for the @deech72 video lesson on playing this legendary piece of music.
@@lachumbley I'd love to! Have you seen the Cult of Personality one? I'd love to do so many more soon...
Nice playing and this video definitely adds value in helping to understand such a complex set of patterns - thanks. Just for info for anyone wanting to understand the terminology for some of these patterns.... The double bass shuffle is actually the 1st and 3rd partials of each triplet (not second and third)- so that element is actually a traditional double bass shuffle. The 'bounce' section on the ride cymbal plays the first two triplet partials on the odd beats of each bar followed by the first triplet partial on the even beats of each bar. The Hertas are two 16th notes followed by 2 eighth notes (so they cover one and a half quarter note pulses).
so refreshing to see someone teach this with the correct sounds!!
things i noticed when listening to the isolated tracks:
i have the guitar hero rips of this song, with the toms and kicks separated so you can really hear what’s going on. in section 3 you mention the right hand coming over to the rack tom for an accent (you said sometimes you can hear it and sometimes not). this confused me as well, but with the iso tracks you can hear that it’s actually his right hand hitting a real floor tom for the one note. you can tell because it’s panned left instead of the more right of the (rototom) rack tom.
the second thing in section 3 is that you are switching between the rack and simmons tom with your left to play the triplet, when there is no triplet. the triplet “sound” comes from the confusion between the kick and toms sounding almost identical. its an extra note that almost everyone who covers it plays, but its really obvious in the tom isolated track that almost no one seems to have. the left hand never leaves the rack tom, and the right plays a similar pattern to the ride once the song kicks in. dat, dat, da-da, dat, dat, da-da… etc.
great lesson. im trying to make a video on this to really explain what’s going on, also addressing some of the theories you mention. thanks!
Tanner, thanks so much for this detailed message. This is the kind of stuff I really enjoy talking about! I have the same guitar hero isolated tracks, but once I found the sheet music I never went back in and compared it to the iso tracks, lol. 😃 Thank you for helping decode that mysterious "extra accent"... I will have to open up the mogg file and check it out as you did!
Regarding the triplets in between the rack tom accents... yes, I totally understand what you are saying. It did occur to me about midway through learning this that he could be playing the same pattern on the low tom that he plays later on the ride, with the kick drum filling in the gap. I also watched a YT video where someone played it that way... it really makes sense. But, in the interest of staying true to the drum tab, and because I'd already mostly learned it, I kept with the triplets, lol!
I really appreciate you checking this out & I really, really appreciate your detailed comments and feedback about this. Great comments, very interesting stuff!👍👍💛
Also, Tanner - any insight you can provide for what exactly is going on in section 2 would be appreciated! The drum tab I'm playing sounds very close, but I would swear there are some hertas and possibly other things happening there. Any thoughts or more great decoding work from the isolated tracks would be awesome!! 😃😃
@@MikeConwayDrums i have recently come across a video of Mike Mangini of Dream Theater saying that eddie vh told him in the 90s that both Alex and Eddie were playing on the intro… I’m currently looking into this possibility; it could be the explanation to the relatively “random”-ness of section 1-into section 2. eddie was an inexperienced drummer..
that would probably mean: eddie plays the simmons tom from section 1 and 2, with alex adding the bass drums in 2. then eddie drops out for section 3 which is as i explained earlier.
i personally believe the entire song was done in one take, including the intro. whether it was one or two van halen brothers, i dont know 😅
I’m a novice drummer, and I have been wondering for YEARS how to play this. This is absolutely the best break down of Hot For Teacher that I have seen on the Internet. Thank you!
Thanks so much! I'm glad that it was helpful!🙏🙏💛💛🤘🤘
Nicest thing about this video is Mike's humility. I am not a drummer but I loved this video.
Thanks a ton for your awesome comments! AVH is the master, I'm not worthy!! 😃🙏🙏💛💛
Brillant Mike ! when I watched your cover on your channel , I was blown away by the way you played the intro so easely ... Now you make it understandable for all of us with this amazing video, and a big thank for that !! Your 're the (VH) man !!!
Thank you Bob! I appreciate your super nice comments my friend, and I'm glad you found this useful! You rock!! 🙏💛
OMG, this is outstanding! I love this kind of videos and you've played it so perfect! I'm gonna learn how to play that intro thanks to you Mike, you rock! 🥁🔥
Gracias, Miki! I really appreciate your kind words & I'm glad you liked it! Rock on my friend! 🙏💛
Awesome job, such a legendary drum lick! This was super helpful and informative on how to get that pattern down, can’t thank you enough! Amazing video Mike, keep rocking my bro!🥁🤘
Thanks a ton Brian! I'm glad you dig it -- rock on my man! 🙏💛
Wow dude. I love the way you break this down and the sound of your drums are perfect. Thanks!
Thanks so much Mr. Strongbox!
That's the best explanation on this intro on youtube! This is my favorite drum intro of all time even though I can't play it properly because you need your feet but I love the hand patterns which are complicated on their own. Awesome tips too you should be a teacher!
Thank you for watching and commenting Jeff! I value your feedback greatly -- you are a tremendous professional-level drummer, and such an inspiration. Your awesome support means so much to me!🙏💛🙏
That was one of the best and easy to understand tutorials on HFT that I've seen on TH-cam!!! Great job Mike!!!!! 👏
Thanks so much Marcus! It's not nearly as funny as your videos, but not many are! 🙏💛
@Mike Conway you don't need to be funny because you're a way better drummer!!!!! 😌
@@marcus_mayhem You're too nice man. Keep rockin, bro -- I love your vids!! 💛
Yes!! That was awesome and totally informative. I agree playing any song slowly and working your way up is always the best plan of attack... as tedious as it feels, especially when it comes to Hot For Teacher!! You did a great job explaining and made it really easy to follow this legend of a song.
Thanks for checking it out Darren! I'm pretty sure you could play this with one hand and one foot... you're a beast!! 🙏💛
Great job, Mike! Excellent pacing on this for anyone looking to learn such an iconic, complex drum intro. Thank you!!
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it and I appreciate your nice feedback!🙏🙏💛
Awesome Mike! Good job, you have explained in a simple and straightforward way one of the most difficult drum intros to play. Keep up the good work my friend 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Matteo! I appreciate you taking time to check it out -- rock on my man! 🙏💛
Mike that was an awesome tutorial, fun and easy to understand what is going on. I was smiling all the way. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day!
Thank you so much David! I appreciate your great support my friend! 🙏💛
This should have 10 million views. I’ve seen people “teaching” this intro that completely butcher playing it on top of giving incorrect info. You absolutely nailed it.
Thank you so much Trent! I'm glad you like it & I really appreciate those great comments my man! 👍🙏👍🙏
Totally agree with this comment. only 12K views!? 😳🤔
Outstanding breakdown! Really well put together! You are the go to for Van Halen. Long live King Mike! 🔥💪🤘
Thanks a ton Joey! I appreciate it so much, you always make my day with your awesome comments! 🙏💛
Dude, this is by far the simplest way I have ever seen anyone go at this difficult piece! The are videos where people play the hertas with the feet, and the one on Drumeo makes my brain hurt! Thank you for this...(I'm subscribed now)
Thank you so much Robert! I'm glad you appreciate my attempt at accuracy -- that's really what I was going for. Your great comments sure make me feel like I succeeded. I appreciate it!!🙏💛🙏
This was absolutely brilliant Mike! Fantastic work! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏
Thank you for checking it out & commenting Dean! I appreciate you my man. 🙏💛🙏
This is an awesome breakdown of one of the most iconic drum parts…. Absolutely awesome job man
Thank you Steve! I tried not to get too long-winded, but the next thing you know it's at 13 minutes... dang man!
@@MikeConwayDrums I wouldn’t change a thing, yes it’s 13 minutes but everything you said and demonstrated had value. You know a lot about AVH drumming… he seems to always throw something in his parts that’s a real twist. You should probably consider looking for other opportunities to break down his playing. You said one time AVH was a fan of jazz. In my 40 ish years of listening to Van Halen, I never realized that… just my thoughts, have a great week
My boet..The vH master..You are the Man...Love this vid
Thank you my boet! I'm glad you dig it. 🙏💛
This is an incredibly helpful video, thank you! I find myself instinctively playing the kick pattern RL RL, because I'm used to keeping time with my left foot, so I get what you mean about having to mentally get comfortable with the way the hands and the feet are in-line with each other, and then reversed one bar to the next. I've been able to play this song for years, but never new what I was rally doing, and just sort of faked my way through the intro. Now, I'm gonna learn it properly! Thanks! 🤘
Thanks Myke! Yeah, I edited out a part where I said you can play the kick LR LR, RL RL, or even LR RL I suppose! Thanks so much for checking it out my friend -- I'm sure there are many legit ways to play this. 🙏💛
Great video Mike! It's nice to get some in depth look at this song, what a complex pattern. You rock!
Thanks a ton Henrik! I appreciate your nice feedback! 🙏💛
Mike - this is going to pay dividends for a long, long time. Fantastic breakdown. This is tremendously helpful for players that want to play it right. The next time I play it live, I'll still do it wrong as hell but I'll think back to your tutorial (seriously though - I hope you do more of these dude)
Haha! Thanks a ton Trey! I'm psyched that you dig it... I'm sure there are a dozen different ways to play this, each one legit. 🙏💛🤘
Mike, watched a lot of you r videos. This one was great.. have to say you always look like superman playing drums but yo ualways hit the groove. Thanks for the education and ablilty to bring this forward. great job.
Thank you for watching & for your awesome comments! I'm glad you liked it & hope it was helpful. 🙏💛🤘
Hi Mike. Here you prove that you are not only an excellent drummer, but also a first-class drum teacher. You explain the subject very calmly, in a way that is easy to understand and with a good dose of modesty and humour. You have a very good speaking voice and although English or American is not my mother tongue, I was able to follow you very well. A really great video!!! Hope you do more of this.
Gunter, I really appreciate your great comments (in English too) and support! You are such a talented drummer -- this really means a lot coming from you. I'm so glad you liked this... I wish I could write in German as well as you write in English. Thank you for watching... I was hoping to keep this shorter, but failed!
I’m only 4 minutes into the video and I felt I needed to comment how excellent this tutorial video is mate! I’ve been wanting to learn how to play Hot For Teacher for so long and finally found the tutorial that’s gonna make that dream come true my man! 😊😊😊❤
Oh man, that's awesome! I'm so glad this helps -- that was my whole purpose. Thank you for the great feedback! 🙏🙏💛💛
Excellent demonstration! Thank you for sharing Mike
Thanks for checking it out Ben! You rock, my friend! 🙏💛
Thank you so much I have been wanting to learn hot for teacher since i started drumming almost 6 months ago and I can finally play it after about 2 days of being focused on it and with the help of this great video!
Wow, that's awesome! I'm so glad I was able to help -- rock on!🤘🤘😃😃
You explained this very well and your kit sounds so good too!!
Thank you Zach! I appreciate you checking it out and your nice comments my friend! 🙏💛
Great breakdown!! This has always baffled me (especially being a guitarist)💥Very interesting to watch.
Thanks for checking it out Anthony! I was hoping I wasn't nerding out too much on the Alex Van Halen drums! Rock on brother! 🙏🤘
You gave me hope of ever playing this. Thanks for your work and explanations.
Thank you for watching & commenting! I'm glad you found it helpful!🙏💛🙏
Excellent presentation Mike ... it's pretty much what passes in front of my eyes when I hear that as from the long experience I have I try to think of everything like score ...
Thanks Stamatis! Reading music is definitely a challenge for me. 🙏💛
Wow very helpful! great tutorial chief! definitely will be trying this! cheers. 🥁🔥🔥😎👍
Thanks a ton RG! Would love to see you rocking this one my man!! 🙏🤘👊
Thank you! I finally know the rudiments now thanks to your beautiful breakdown of this complex intro. Great job.
Thanks for watching & commenting! I appreciate it & I'm glad you found it helpful!🙏💛👊👊
@MikeConwayDrums Are you kidding me? This is the best instructional video on the internet for this song. I'm working with it every day until I nail it. Again great job and a great attitude. ✌️
Excellent job brother, keep on Rockin 🤘 Thanks for your time. Triplets or not it works ✌
Thank you for checking it out Joe! I sure appreciate your time too my man!🙏💛🙏
OMG! This was awsome! Great lesson!
Greetings from Sweden and you have a new subscriber! 🤟🏻🥁🇸🇪
Thank you GD! I'm glad you found it helpful and I appreciate your support my friend! 🙏💛👍
You read my mind Mike Conway!! I really want to learn to play Hot For Teacher and I can't understand the intro!! I'll watch your video as many times as it takes until I get it!! 😎🥁
Thank you Carlos! You have the skills to play this for sure... I would love to see you crush it! Rock on! 🙏🤘
Great breakdown of an unbelievably difficult drum piece. But that's VH for you. There will be so many opinions on the way it was done, and only Alex knows what the hell he did there. It's a work of art. You did an amazing job of teaching it and pulling it apart.
Thank you John! I'm glad you appreciate my attempt to break it down... it's so shrouded in mystery, which only adds to the legendary status. Intimidating, for sure. Thank you for the support! 🙏🙏💛💛
From what I understand of the intro is that Alex is drumming over the sound of an idling Lamborghini.
Awesome tutorial, thanks Mike! Double bass rules 🔥 And great mix between your voice and the kit, it sounds like you're playing live on an acoustic kit 👍
Thank you Firefrost! Fortunately I was able to use camera audio for my voice! 🙏💛👍
Thanks for the tutorial on this Mike! I've had friends jokingly request me to play it and I would just scoff and say yeah right. Now I can use this to practice and give it a try. Excellent breakdown brother!👍thanks again
Thank you Kevin, I'm glad you like it. I tried to make this a quick video... epic fail! 😐
I've seen another video that is really good, but this one is GREAT!!! Now I can finally complete my learning and play this. Thank you !!! You have a new subscriber!!
Thanks so much Chris! I'm so glad you like this & find it helpful -- makes me so happy! I appreciate your support too. Rock on my man!🙏🙏💛💛
Excellent technique, Mike !! 👏👏
Thank you -- I appreciate that!! 🙏💛
This is great!! Nice to see you giving such clear instructions.
Thank you Taison! I'm glad you like it -- have a great weekend!🙏💛🤘
Wow so well done, I’m finally going to take the time to learn to do this right. Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for your great feedback! I'm heading over to your channel to check it out! 🙏💛
.Mike you made another great video. Who better than you could explain van halen, you are the undisputed master in the matter, a pity that I do not understand English, but it is already a pleasure to watch you play
Thank you my brother! I wish I knew more languages... I always appreciate your great comments in English! 🙏💛
Love this tutorial type vids..great Job
I appreciate your nice comments and your awesome support my man! Rock on boet! 🙏🤘
Fantastic explanation, Mike!🤘🤘

This is really really good my friend ..you really explain and show even so I understand thats a proof you make a fantastic video 🙏👍😀this tabs is chinese for me I guess I will never learn it but thats a high wish for me 🙂👍the work you put in to figure this song out is awesome and the work to show us is awesome Mike 👍❤💪🥁🙂and I love the smiling and laughing when you going through this for us many huge thanks for this 🙏🙏😀👍
I'm so glad you watched this Bjarne! I tried to keep it short, but failed... I'm not good at reading drum tabs, but it was the only way for this one!😮I appreciate your great feedback my good friend... rock on! 🤘🤘
You are the first one besides Alex himself that has ever gotten the ride cymbal accents correctly in the shuffle. Fantastic job my friend, really fantastic! I don't know why almost every drummer, who posts a hot for teacher video never gets the accents on the ride cymbal right?
Hey, thanks a lot for noticing that & commenting! I think it's natural for most drummers to land a bass drum beat on the second bounce of a swung ride beat -- it's a very common thing. Alex sort of inverted it and the bass drum lands on the first bounce of the ride beat & rests on the second bounce, so most drummers probably don't really pick up on that since it's pretty unorthodox. Thanks a ton for your great comments Glenn!🙏🙏
Great tutorial man, trying to learn it to play live and you did a good job breaking it down
Thank you William! I'm glad you found it helpful. Have a great week!🙏💛🙏
Great work Mike. I’ll find this a real challenge because of my pathetic lazy left foot but I’ll give it a bash! Also that ride sticking with the double bass sounds cool!! 💪🏻👍🏻
Thank you my friend! My left foot is the same way -- pretty lame. This song is a great way to (try to) whip it into shape! 🙏💛
Mike, that was an awesome tutorial... Thanks for sharing, my friend !!! 😎🙋🏻♂🥁
Thank you for watching it Paco! I appreciate your nice feedback and support! 🤘🙏💛
Thank you for taking the time to break it down like this, incredible ear!
Thanks for checking it out GG! I'm glad you like it my man! 🙏💛
outstanding thank you. Given me confidence to tackle this. Drum equiv of learning Eruption.
Thank you! I'm glad it helped you!🙏💛🙏
"This is all a part of section one" LOL!!!! This was great Mike! Such an awesome drum part and you explained it perfectly.......although I don't think I could play this without practicing for about a year! Haha. Thanks for doing this, I will give it a whirl!
Haha! Thanks so much Robb! I'm glad you appreciate this... I failed miserably in my attempt to keep this video short. Doh!!! 🙏💛
Amazing job man. Love the electronic kick sound. Feels like its 1984 again.
Thank you! Yeah, I love the AVH 1984 kit sound! 🙏🙏👊👊
Great job bro. Sounds spot on!
Thank you Eric! I appreciate your feedback! 🙏💛🤘🤘
What a great breakdown of the song, and the drum sound is very authentic! Well done, its a pleasure to watch. Not sure ill ever be able to play it though....
Thank you Nick, I appreciate your nice feedback! Just keep slowing it down... that's what I did anyway!🙏🙏👍👍

I like your intro and you speak how you do the song, i see the lesson, i will try if i have a Drum, it like other instrument they have technique and lot of timing, it very interresting i like all about music instrument you do a excellent teacher, just to eard and we feel it, well done.
Thank you so much for checking it out Alain! I appreciate your great comments my friend! 🙏💛
This will be all a challenge to try!! Bro, you are such a talented drummer... this tutorial is the best i have seen of how to play this intro... its such an iconic intro... maybe one day i can do this... at 80bpm... hahahahahahahaha
Haha! I always appreciate your super comments my good man! I'm glad you checked it out... everyone else is doing TH-cam Shorts and I come out with a TH-cam "Long", lol! I tried to keep it brief, I really did... big hugs my friend!! 🙏💛
@@MikeConwayDrums and is more clearer and understandable!!! Thank you again for sharing your amazing talent, bro!
You have a great gift for teaching and this was a great lesson. This is one of the best breakdowns of this song I've seen on youtube. A very unusual drum track. Seems every time I listen to it, I pick out new things or something seems to sound different. The intro is so dense sounding and has such a sporadic or irregular feel to it, it sounds as if some of the hits are totally unplanned. It makes me wonder exactly how Alex came up with it and how it was recorded in the studio. I have never seen him play the intro live, which makes me wonder.
Thanks so much! I agree, this drum part is really like nothing else out there... I have no idea how Alex dreamed this up. I'm glad you liked my attempt to break it down!!😃🙏💛
@@MikeConwayDrums You're welcome. Yes, the intro and the fills through out the song are very unusual sounding to me. I worked on this myself and eventually would like to upload a video of some of my ideas on it. I use a single pedal and sort of did my own thing with it. Would make for a great video if Alex himself discussed the creation of this song. The shuffle pattern is pretty straightforward, I heard the idea may have come from "Space Boogie" by Jeff Beck.
Great video. Main thing that stood out to me was that you seem like a genuinely super cool guy
Wow, thank you for such kind words Justin! I really appreciate it my man! 🙏💛
Well done. Thanks for doing this!
Thank you Michael! I'm glad you found it helpful. 🙏💛🙏🤘
This is great Mike, well done sir 💯
Thanks so much Josh! Glad you dig it! 🙏💛
😎🔥🤘 This wuz cool my buddy I finally get too see you and hear you talk 😎👍 I learned this intro back in the 80s it was a bit harder too learn back in the 80s because THERE WAS NO TH-cam OR INTERNET!!!!!
haha haha LoL 😂 anyways lol 😂 I have been playing it pretty much like you it’s very fun too play 😁❤️👍
Yes, back in the day I had to record "Friday Night Videos" off of network TV because my parents didn't get MTV. So I had the Van Halen video for "Jump" on my trusty VHS tape... I remember drooling over Alex's badass kit with the rototoms all over the place... those were the days! Thanks for checking it out my man!! 🙏💛
Amazing tone and Great tips!!👏👏
Thank you urhottto! I appreciate your great support! 🙏💛🙏
Very cool lesson Mike 👍🏼
Thank you Spiro! 🙏💛
This helped me out so much! Thanks ! 🙏
I'm so glad it helped! Rock on, House of Conway!!!😃😃🙏🙏🤘🤘
Great tutorial of this super Classic!!
Thank you Andrea! 🙏💛
Thank you so much!!! This was so helpful! I’ve struggled with this for years 😂
Thank you Chris! I hope it helps... how Alex conceived of such craziness is the real question! 🙏💛
Those drum samples are amazing !!
Thank you Jimmy, I appreciate your nice feedback!🙏🤘
I think it's safe to say that AVH is NOT human and we will never figure out the exact way he plays this intro LOL! But your tutorial was outstanding Mike (and nice to hear your voice too). Honestly, you lost me at section 1, but I kept watching because you're a beast brother 😀. Excellent instructional video Mike! \m/\m/
Haha, thanks so much Kev! I must agree about AVH... what mere human could dream up such a crazy drum track? I appreciate you, brother! 🙏💛🙏
Very clarifying, thx a million!
Thank you Frank -- I'm glad you liked it! 🙏💛👍
Excellent video Mike! Way out of my league but maybe someday I will learn to play with your great tutorial!
Thank you Jacobas! I'm glad you like this -- thanks for checking it out! 🙏💛
Love it man!
Thank you Hoby!! 🙏💛🙏
Great video Mike!
Thank you Jay! Rock on! 🙏💛
Great video!
Also I think our brains are like from the same mold! Lol
The way you break things down and explain them especially not knowing the technical proper terms 😅
Even the way you kind of explained how you were learning the song and make exercises out of hard parts! Lol
I’m doing the same thing with Smooth Criminal (AAF version ) right now
Yeah, I just figured someone out there would understand what I was talking about. Lol! Thanks & good luck with Smooth Criminal! 🤘🤘
Wowwww Amazing n Fantastic..Thanks for sharing Brother..😊👍🤘🙏
Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate that! 🙏💛🙏
🌹That was really interesting.🌹. It was lovely to hear your voice... 🎶🥁🙏
Thanks so much for your tremendous support Karen! I appreciate you!🙏💛🙏
@@MikeConwayDrums 👌
Great tutorial. I love the swing in this song, not easy by all means.
Thank you! Yeah, the swing feel at warp speed is pretty insane! 🙏💛🙏
This is a great interpretation.Always wondered about this one.
Thank you Jim! I'm glad you like it my man! 🙏💛🙏
What a lovely guy you are and thanks so much for the vid.
Thanks so much! I hope this video is helpful!🙏👌💛
Well done and will conveyed!
Thank you -- I hope it helps you learn it! 🙏💛👍👍
Thanks mate ,
This is a good vid.
I've wondered how he came up with that beat.
Heard it was an exhaust system of some kind..... well that's what El Estepario Siberiano says on his channel.
It's an iconic beat.
Thanks so much Saul! I have no idea how he came up with it either... there's really nothing else like it. 🙏🙏🤘🤘
Awesome dude!!
Thank you -- I'm glad you dig it!🙏💛🤘
Good job on this tutorial!
Thank you Dennis! 🙏💛🙏

Thank you for watching Veronika! I appreciate your kind words! 🙏💛🙏
@@MikeConwayDrums You are very welcome😀
Q som que tem essa bateria!!!! Parabéns!!!! 🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏
Obrigado Geovane! Agradeço seus ótimos comentários!🙏🙏💛💛
YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Dude, I know we sort of talked about it, but how long does it take for you to dial in your sounds? Then to learn that part using a chart, section by section, limb by limb....I would have quit a fraction into it. You have unmatched determination brother! All that hard work definitely pays off big time! Kudos man. So cool!
Wow, thank you so much Kelly! I really appreciate it, man... makes me feel great! I try not to spend too much time messing with the sounds, since it's not really in my wheelhouse. Fortunately I can play with the sounds on my laptop away from my kit, so it doesn't eat into my actual playing time. But if I knew what I was doing, it would cut down on the time considerably!!
Sounds just like original. Great job ans playing Mike 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥁🥁🥁🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Thank you Ben! I really appreciate your kind words brother! 🙏💛🙏
I might use this tutorial when I teach myself how to play this song!
Awesome Marc! I hope it comes in handy... you will crush this tune! You have massive skills!🤘🤘🙏🙏
Thanks so much for this video Mike cause you explaine everything really well man cause this song has frustrated me for aong time the beginning part here and i usually get it were it sounds ok i guess and close at times but never right haha So yea Thanks alot man your a great teacher man and im 48 and started playing when i was 12 but i had a good amount of years where i didnt play and got back on drums again like 11 years ago after not playing for 8 years and every so often and very often i attempt to cover this killer song on drums i never get it right and i should of taken more time to get it down witch I was a little kid when i first heard this and always loved this tune and come from a family of bikers so yea of course always heard alot of Van Halen too and was always in aww of the drums in the beginning totally amazing!!Thanks again anf sorry for the long winded story!! Haha
Thank you for checking it out and for your great comments Rick! I'm glad you liked this and hopefully it helps you in playing it. What a killer drum intro from Alex! 🙏💛🤘🤘
