@@reallife.axelsteel I was playing in clubs all over Atlanta back in the 1980s with my little local band. I knew a lot of musicians all over town and everyone recognized Alex Van Halen as an exceptionally great drummer.
I’m 9 years old and really want to start a band with me, my dad, and my brother my dad playing bass mainly me mainly playing drums and my brother playing guitar mainly and I would mainly be on vocal and I want to cover this song.
As someone has been drumming for over 35 years, I absolutely love this. There's no doubt the skills are 100%, but as a drummer, what I love is how much fun you're having. The smiling, the swaying, you're feeling the grove. I also like the kind of side of side arm attack on some of the high hat parts. Keep up the great work, and keep enjoying what you're doing!!
Dude - that is absolutely brilliant. I've said it before that my favourite drummers are the ones who make it look effortless, and you certainly do that!! 🤘🤘🤘
I love this fucking intro to the song! It sounds like a tribal drum beat and when the guitar kicks in! This song gives me energy! I wanna learn to play this one day on drums
i need to get back to reading drum music, i learned when i was young then promptly stopped in my mid 20s. i got heavily back into playing again now in my early 40s and i'm getting good again, but i'm at a wall. probably that and more practice. i just can't figure out the bass drum pattern trying to play along with you. anyway have a great day!
I've never seen one of your videos till tonight. I can tell you enjoy playing very much. I was cheesin' the whole time enjoying the tune. Great job my man
Kyle, great job! Always loved how the drums at the start of the song remind me of a drag car staging at the Christmas tree! Alex is a very underrated drummer!!!
Everybody always talks about Eddie and his guitar playing while Alex and his drumming get overlooked. But Alex is no slouch
You really think ?
Most underrated drummer in hard rock history.

@@stricknine8623 The same was true here in Hollywood. There were always a gaggle of us drummers in their audience!
Alex Van Halen & Nicko McBrain are two of the greatest rock drummers of all time and are both constantly overlooked and never mentioned.
I don’t know if the intro was supposed to sound like a motorcycle, but it does to me. One of the coolest drum intros of any song!
Rumored to be inspired by a cammed v8. Makes sense since both Alex and Eddie were really into muscle cars
Yeah Al really used those Simmons electronic drums great
sounds like a suped up badass motor. reminds me of my dads cars
Shovelhead
the Intro is inspired by the sound of a Harley Davidson Shovelhead
Dude always looks like he's having such a good time.
Should I be ashamed to know that those pantsu are from the Fruit of Grisaia?
@@Hydra_X9K_Music Nope. Not at all.
He’s having TOO MUCH FUN!!!! His infectious joy must be stopped!!!
Everyone has fun rockin out
Why wouldnt he?
The eyebrow raise after the opening riff. Epic
I know right!!!!!
same here!

@@bigyessuccess4525 late reply but man if you work for that you can get it. never stop playing either, its good for you in a sense and its super fun
Very Eddie van halenian. Hahahahaha
This is the cleanest version of the intro I've ever seen. Awesome job!
yeah! check Drumeo tutorial. Pretty clean too
Sooo hard to actually find the drum intro done correctly. This guy Rocks!!!
I was about to post this exact comment.
👍
That smile is infectious. That's coming from a straight guy. Shows the passion.
All women want to be with him, all men want to be him
@@bigholmes1660😂
Plot twist- he only drums so his watch says he got 10000 steps in.
Then I'd say he's got about 5-days' worth in on this one.
._.
He prolly burned more calories in the double kick alone then walking 10000 steps lol
Didn’t expect to see you here! 😂
0:47 that stick hit was on point
The click of sticks just after the intro! Most people I see cover this always miss that!
Yeah same! But it really does add a snall feature to the drumming and it sounds good
This guy is really making this look easy but this is one of the most difficult songs I've ever played I still never got the intro as clean as him
*EVERYTHING* about this is 💯 to me, playing is perfect, showmanship on point and the mixing is literally some of the best i've heard on youtube 🔥
RIP Eddie...you legend 🤘🤘
VH had 2 of the greatest musicians in in. Alex is under appreciated drummer
The whole band was epic.
Man I remember being blown away with that drum intro as a kid. back on records. shit was so good.
I can’t even smile as long as he does and I’m just watching. Hell I am winded just watching him.
This guy must’ve listened to this song for months on repeat in order to memorize every single thing. true dedication.
You are the first person Ive seen that played the ride cymbal part correctly...Hands down the best cover of this song period...
Charisma? Check. Chops? Check. Looks like he loves every minute of what he’s playing? Check. Great videos!
This is one of those songs I've heard 1000 times on the radio, watching this I realise I've underappreciated this for too long
I still can’t wrap my head around the drum intro…It’s just too fucking good!
This is by far the best cover I've seen on drums for this song. And I've seen a lot. Great job dude! I would love to see more covers from Van Halen!
Agreed. Most people miss the mark somewhere in the song. It’s the in between stuff and vibe they always miss. This dude nails it all.
Well done , hardly anyone does this justice. Especially on the intro. Great job
That snare drum is fucking beautiful. Everything about it.
Dang Kyle....you have so much fun and make it look easy drumming. You rock and kick ass Kyle...great job !!!
My fav VH song from my high school days. Well done.
The fricken BEST rock&roll drum part!
Top Tier Muso....One of the Best I've ever seen and heard
Awesome perfect scampering!!🥁⚡🎶☝🏻🤘🏼👍️✨🌠
すんげぇ楽しそうにドラム叩いてる！
カッコイイし、動画あげてくれてありがとう🙇🙏🙇
always loved how the beginning sounded like an idling motorcycle
One of the most timelessly cool songs ever
You nailed it!
BRAVO!! THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS PLAYED! Even got the stick cluvk in there! BRAVO!!
The intro and double bass scares me in this song
This guy has to be a robot, how else could you explain such spot on timing.
Damn impressive!
He’s havin’ a blast. Well done.
You are a good drummer I ever seen nobody play like that before
This song is a beast for the drums. Great job!
Dude didn't even break a sweat and play the song with a smile on his face... Amazing 👏👏👏 nice and clean performance and record also... Very nice job
It looks really difficult and exhausting. Congrats 👏
This is literally flawless
That smile makes the video so much better
Every time I hear hot for teacher I think it’s probably the best drumming of all time
i really love this song and great drumming
😮. Incredible man. Note-for-note perfect. 🙌🏾
I love the galloping of the drums in this song. RIP Eddie! And, great playing man. You did this cover justice man!
So excellent. Love the drums in this song so much! I never get tired of seeing/hearing this drum cover. Awesome!
One of my all time favorite drummers.

Oh my God .... THIS IS FREAKIN AWESOME!!! well done man
I only came here because this song sounds so much fun to play and it looks like you had just as much fun playing it. cheers
Played as well as I have ever seen! Awesome!
I wish I could enjoy life as much as this guy
Dude - that is absolutely brilliant. I've said it before that my favourite drummers are the ones who make it look effortless, and you certainly do that!! 🤘🤘🤘
What I love about this drum intro an most metal songs is that droning beat like that of a piston engine
Nicely done, Kyle! You nailed it! 👏 🥁 😎
Idk what’s better - the fact that this dude played a perfect cover of an insanely difficult song or the fact that he has the face of GigaChad.
Sweet cover 😊
FLAWLESS
Love the little mod you threw in at 2:50. Serious respect for this cover, man!!
super Awesome............as always!!!..............applause 👏.....................👍👍👍
I love this fucking intro to the song! It sounds like a tribal drum beat and when the guitar kicks in! This song gives me energy! I wanna learn to play this one day on drums
I love that you look like you're having a blast doing this!
Man , Eddie and Al really knew how to swing. Long live the Mighty Van Halen! Excellent playing Kyle.
Excellent performance. A+ for Effort
I love your energy so much. This is amazing
Holy shit, HANDS DOWN best drum cover I've heard. I know I'm not an educated musician, but I didn't hear a single missed beat. Awesome job, sir.

That was unbelievable!!! Damn dude.
Love the galloping double kick.

Absolutely Awesome
Really great drum cover and song.⚡🎶💥💯🤘👍💙
Kyle, great job! Always loved how the drums at the start of the song remind me of a drag car staging at the Christmas tree! Alex is a very underrated drummer!!!
AVH himself has to be envious of that performance. That dude killed it. OMG.
such a great, iconic song you can’t even help but grin like a child 😁 love it!!!
That was so well executed. This has gotta be the gold standard of drum covers of Hot for Teacher
Omg.... that was fantastic... 🥁🥁🥁🥁👌😎
Love that Van Halen shuffle rhythm. The Full Bug is another favorite of mine.
Amazing drummer!
Liked not just for skill but for the love of the game expressed!
Excellent cover of this....great job!
I prompted, back in my wild years, my band into playing this song. I was (of course) shirtless, and driving.
It was something to behold.
Best drum cover I've heard of this song...nice job man
Dude is a beast! One of the best covers I've ever heard.
love the drums in this song
