This dude is so gnarly
Dude. I can't drum for shit, but your videos are so interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Dont feel bad 99%of guitar players who think they can play drums really cannot....
Love this song! The amount of detail you guys pick up on one listen is ridiculous. Love your channel.
Dude... your videos are the best!
the chart is really useful. as someone who cant pick out chords or even understand how chord works, i just simply filter out the numbers written and just focused on the symbols and i can pretty well follow through the whole song just by sight reading the chart.
Dude. You're like an awesome teacher, a dudester to be radly correct. Welcome to my life dude, thanks a lot for all the dudening. Dude.
Very nice practical playing.
Nice drumming - you can play for my band anytime
This and your other video was super helpful for me (even though im guitar player!) Sounds sick dude.
I love you and I miss you so much
Love the lesson and full song example! The thing i am missing from a drums perspective is the groove. Fills take on their own life, but the song is completely different with different grooves. Do your charts indicate the groove?
So if I understand correctly ur counting the chord progressions?I kno this os an older vid so if u dont reply its ok I guess was just curious....thank u for what u do Harry just awe inspiring
OK, well, I thought I understood that better than I do. I got lost almost immediately and never recovered. I would love more if you're up for revisiting the topic for a new subscriber. :)
This is exactly what I was thought too 🤣
Extremely cool man. An episode specifically on double bass syncopation and fills would be really cool (mostly because that's what I'm struggling with atm)! Thanks :D
Todd sucherman has a video that is helpful as far as patterns on the bass drum one in particular is hitting 3 strokes on ur hands and then following up with three on the feet and 4 strokes and so on....or starting 3 on ur feet then hands which is easier to get down although u should do both ways.....best of luck hope it helps
Hey dude, I'm loving these videos. I have to ask though: when you say you listen to the song only once, doses that mean without stopping or can you pause the song to figure out chords/catch up in your notes etc. Thanks!
+IV Tympanistam Hello dude! Great question. I say listen as many times as it takes to get it right. A couple hundred songs down the line maybe you'll find you need the pause button less and less, but in my mind that comes second to nailing whether the figure you just heard was 2 bars of cowbell or *2 and a half* bars of cowbell. Go forth and rock \m/
wow that kit sounds incredible.. geez.. I just got my first kit and its rather on the lower end you should make a video of how to get the most out of a dirt cheap kit and make it sound as professional as possible!! (heads being changed ect allowed!) that would be a fun video! and helpful!
Dude sir. I gave your idea a try! Forgive the voice acting. ua-cam.com/video/PiSf-BtOERo/v-deo.html
I used to....well still do have only what I can afford as far as drum sets....but if u take weather stripping(for door frames)and make a circle on the inside of ur drum heads ull have an incredible sounding set plus if u like ur heads tighter it will give u the bounce or rebound u want without all the ringing or over tones from a cheap kit....best of luck....
So do you improvise from top to bottom ?
If not, how do you remember all the key grooves and kick patterns ?
Slayyyyy!
What are the top 3 tips you give to begginer drums?
Hey Harry! Thank you so much for charting this out and giving the breakdown! I only have ONE question. On the very LAST chorus, on the LAST line, you show 4 1(underlined and push 1) 5 5 5(underlined with the eighth note builds, however those builds would need their own chord number right because the two underlined 5's are already spoken for right? Or am I misinterpreting? This is very new to me and your video has been extremely helpful. I just want to make sure I'm counting right! Thanks!
+givemedrums83 Great question m'dude! When rhythmic notation gets involved, I'd say just do whatever makes the most sense to you - the rules aren't universal at that point. In my case, leaving those eighth note "builds" out of it altogether would have been technically acceptable, but I put them under that second-to-last 5 to give myself a better idea of what was going on rhythmically during the first half of the bar. They definitely don't represent their own bar separate from the 5's. But do whatever makes sense to you duuuuuuuuuuude
Cool stuff!
I wonder.....how do you know what chords are playing?
I mean: I can hear that the chords are changing, but listening to the song for the first time without charts, I wouldn't know what number the chords are.
+francisco hazel I dig the question. I've realized from attempting to answer it a few times that it generally depends on where you sit in the understanding-of-music-theory spectrum, but here are two guiding points that'll hopefully hone you in a little closer:
1.) In country music (which this charting style was specifically designed to reflect), you'll usually only ever hear three chords (1, 4, and 5) with the super occasional 6. I'd advise just learning the sound of those chords, and anything else you hear, label it as weird and move on. (while this may be good chord advice, it's horrible social advice) So in effect, you might have a progression of 1 1 4 [weird chord] 5, which is ultimately just as useful for drum charting purposes as is 1 1 4 b3 5.
2.) There are plenty of good ear training apps out there you can add to your daily flossing routine to get those chord recognition muscles in shape, and keeping item #1 in mind, you now have fewer chords to keep track of than you may have originally thought. The app I remember having success with is called Tenuto: itunes.apple.com/us/app/tenuto/id459313476?mt=8
This isn't the whole puzzle but hopefully it gets you closer!
Hot damn, a drummer with enough ear training to pick out chords! Maybe this is common in among professionals and not the people I jam with... Either way I respect you dude.
@@Hennu_TRM This is what I tell drummers who say they 'don't have to learn theory'
@@danielcorrigan8805 Learning music always makes you a better musician. Even if it's not the theory/instrument/style you think you will immediately need to know...
Also, pretty much the whole point of music theory is being able to communicate with other musicians. The more you know, the more you can be part of the conversation. People think music theory is for telling you what you need to do on your instrument, but it's not that at all...
fat snare tone YAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! what snare drum is that!!!

What's up Harry! Ok so I have two questions..
1. The "pushed" notes. Am I understanding correctly that even though that's what the chords are doing, it doesn't necessarily mean that the drums have to make that a true punch? Like the first chorus you play, around :45 into the video it sounds like you are just following those pushes with your kick drum.
2. In the interlude #2 (i'm guessing that's what INT. is) you have those in parenthesis but you are playing? Are there scenarios or different notations, perhaps the red font that lets you know to just play quiet in those sections? I just noticed that the first verse has a black parenthesis on that last 5 chord on the very last bar but the video doesn't show you playing that first verse to hear it. The 2nd time through the verse your notes say to fill through it.
Thanks Dude!
Don't forget the "challenge" here: chart in one listen, record in one take. NNS isn't something you use to get song precisely right, and it seems that in some places Harry noticed some detail when charting but with "one take" limit (same as when you chart 50 songs while on the plane and then go on stage, no second take there) he just didn't play some of details because he focused on getting song right in general and minimize the risk of fucking up. After that -- more you play the song -- more detail you include.
What application are you using to create the charts Harry?
I am also curious as to what application you used to create the Rascal Flats chart, as I would like to implement this with my church band. Thanks for your consideration.

I have been in an 80's hard rock/metal cover band for a year and have been a drummer for 18 years that plays guitar and some piano. My charting experience is listing each section of the song A-B-C format and how many times the chord progression is played. I primarily play in a heavy metal setting where not all songs have the conventional chorus, verses, bridges like pop songs, but the Nashville System I feel will help me much more. I do understand music theory, so key signatures and chord degrees in a scale are no issue for me to understand. My question is if you're trying to play a a chart you wrote from a song you have only heard once, how do you know what fills to use and when a build up is supposed to be played? Thanks!
Erik. I dig this question. I attempt a general answer to it here: ua-cam.com/video/uq05J5NOk6s/v-deo.htmlm34s
Otherwise, my feeling is that if it's essential that you use a specific fill in a certain section (i.e. "In the Air Tonight" or "Smells Like Teen Spirit"), go ahead and notate that fill out in the margin so you can reproduce it perfectly on sight without leaving anything up to chance. If a record-perfect fill is not essential (this is the case most of the time in my experience), my take would be to let the attitude of the tune dictate what you decide to play in the moment. Always use the cowbell though.
Use the cowbell. Roger that, hahaha! Thanks for answering my question. That will help me next time I need to chart out a tune.
@@harrymireegreat advice.
I’m getting into a situation where I’m drumming at church. Playing to a click live (new to me, but it’s working).
I created charts for myself with fills that mimic the recording close-enough isn’t but in the moment, I find myself going, “it’s not the time to play that right now…”
My charts are getting more and more simplistic. This may be the next step.
I have a fantasy that I’ll be able to make one chart that I could use for drumming, guitar, piano, or bass (I’m working on learning those instruments as well).
Charting songs like this will likely help my journey into the other instruments as well.
what about modulation????
Hey dude. How do you know what drums to play with the number system?
Dude's a mireecle.
dude, there's still country radio? the backstreet boys with a fiddle country does not make
2:05 that awkward moment when you miss the cymbal by mere millimeters.
