Seriously, you are at a level that people only of dream of. Many people do not have the discipline to practice like you do. I really admire your dedication to this art.
I always heard Portnoy played this sort of fill. I was therefore inspired and tried to create a bunch of variation of this fill when coming to my kit. Even I master it very well, I never knew what exact name the fill is. Haha, now I got this. "Herta", okay, I remember it.
The "Herta" is nothing new. It's a "hybrid" rudiment that has been used widely since the 1970s. John Bonham used it often in his solos. You can clearly hear him using a sweeping herta in his drum solo at the end of the song "Rock & Roll." I use it all the time as a 6/8 slow blues fill as in "Jesus Just Left Chicago." There are not many instructial videos online about the herta. This is a very good one. Thanks guys!
There was a mur🪓der on the 🥁 set today. Thanks for helping all us percussionists on this planet.
I only just discovered this video and it helped so so much... the guy on the vic firth video was talking about doing it with diddles and it really stumped me until this video showed you can play it as a group of 3 and a 1
Cobus Ur awesome!
It's thanks to you and big guns up stairs
That I got way better and more passionate at drums! :)
I played at the LA convention center last month everybody was talking abt the drummer! :)
Thanks a lot bro!
God bless you!! :)
Great lesson. Cobus being awesome as always.
I remember going to a clinic in Burlington Ontario and Cobus was talking about this very same pattern!
it is a really cool sticking - you can give the phrasing a name (it is done in india since centuries) as well, like 'better watch out' - for a start play it 4 times an then add rlrl to it - you will have 16 notes - one bar in 4/4. - you can mix it up as well like calling the 'better watch out -triplet feel' 3 and one pair of singles 2. F.I. 332332 or 332323, etc. if you divide the 'better watch' on snare,tomtom and floor plus the 'out' on the kick you get to J.Bonham / S.Gadd kinda fills too...
John Boecklin uses this in the song "Dead to RIghts" by Devildriver
Meshuggah - Bleed
Too funny! Excellent humor!!
This is legit my go to fill! Love it
great video... Thanks for the video. :)
def hear the travis barker influence. thanks for the turorial !
dude i was just playin this! i didnt know it had a name. its in one of our cadences for quints :D sweeet dealll
awesome cymbals
FINALLY!! Something I already knew!!
i love hertas they have to be my favorite hybrid rud
Lol raaaaaaad! Fan, admirer and follower of Cobus for life.
Knowledge is power!
thank you very much,
What about a reverse herta? 2 slow notes, followed with 2 fast notes? would that work at all?
A good song to practice this technique is Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold. The drums in it are technical and fun to play overall, I play it every practice session.
Nicko Mcbrain does these a LOT. Hertas are incredibly useful.
Indeed it is!
@JamieJWSmith A 4 stroke ruff is 3 ghost notes followed by one normal note, which are all the same value, and a herta has different note values, so its not the same.
love the hoodie =D
When I did drum line and learned the Herta for the first time, we pretty much did all of his variations in about 3 minutes. And then tons more. In Rudimental world, a Herta is the basics.
True, but when you start playing with how you use the Herta, dynamics, and a mixture with other rudiments, it becomes so much more.
I first heard 'The Herta Rudiment' on Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold by their late great drummer Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan. It then took me years!!until I finally found out how to do it through playing by ear. It is my favourite rudiment because it sounds so impressive but the secret is it's so easy. It's two fast beats so 16ths or 32ths followed by two slower beat so 8ths or 16ths in a triplet pattern.
Billy Cobham was doing this in Mahavishnu Orchestra
way back in the day
Yup, extremely well, and super changed future drumming, by introducing new vocabulary, and a different approach.
Very cool
I use this a lot too, actually. Another way to get it to fit into 4/4 is throw a quarter note before 32nd/16th note herta's.
What the flip xD
that is the EPIC-est line ever man xD
I love learning from cobus because he dont talk in a whole load of theory, making it way easier to understand:D
I use this for a fill on the dumbek!
Dude your sick!
One weird thing about my drumming is that I learn fills/rudiments better when their played faster, and then I slow them down to perfect them.
Playing slow is actually where the mastery comes. Being able to play something with a lot of space between notes consistently is such a challenge!
Usually 32nd anything sounds much better as 16ths at a faster tempo. Thats how I usually tackle learning them because they're ultimately more practical 9/10 of time that way within the context of a song.
@4llPro yes but you run into problems when you try to change the phrasing..its best to know all the permiatations and then use it creatively thats all..
Now do a herta on the bassdrum. Fast... any bells ringing?
Mmmmmmmmm bleed perhaps?
Hot for teacher - Van Halen? xD
for whom the bell tolls ...similar sound, but not a hertz.
meshuggah - bleed ?
Hot for teacher?
That's Carter Beuford moves. Lol I remember that in the song "Ants Marching". Lol
i like this guy
cool!
Hey, it's my favourite drummer, Cobus Potgieter.
And question, would you call an inverted flam tap single strokes? The sticking is LRLRLR, all that changes from a single stroke roll is the spacing of the notes.
A perfect (but extremely advanced) song that uses this "Herta" beat on the kick drum is Bleed by Meshuggah. Their drummer, Thomas Haake, is ludicrous!!! SERIOUSLY!! This song has some of the HARDEST kick patterns.
Alex Sadeghi Dude I know, Tomas Haake is a fucking beast.
If it bleeds, we can fill it
shannon larkin from godsmack uses a slower version of this A LOT
3:52 I'm pretty sure every time he says "triplet" in this video, he means "dotted". He also describe it as two 16ths and two 8ths, which could be correct if we change the bar lines, but I think more traditionally the Hereto represents 3 16th notes.
what snare do you use in this video?
great video but by the way can you please tell me the name of the snare ??
I played this beat on my legs all the time. I had no idea id was a cool drum fill.
His pronunciation of " billion " sounds so cool!
PRECISELY what I thought of! The very same pattern, just with the hands. Portnoy does it ALOT in his fills, actually.
you must feel cool for letting us all know. Did the needle jump when you played your drums?
what song is he playing in the end?
Yep
Yes very musical fill😳
what kind of heads is he using?
Is this the same as a single drag tap (rudiment 32)?
billy cobham=the master of hertas...possibly the originator...listen to 'stratus',from the album "spectrum"...also,dave grohl played some kiiiillin' hertas with queens of the stone age in the song "know one knows'...
i understood it until it was put in context, haha. Jared, can you please post the sheet music for this?
Does anyone know what the name of the end-credits track is?
That's exactly why he likes it...because it's got the 2-over-3 feel :-)
@StratovariusFTW Jimmy uses it in Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold....
I was doing the herta when I was a newbie drummer and didn't even know it
It’s cool to see how awkward the videos were versus now
The Herta is very close to the Swiss army triplet, if you loosen the flam.
this is obviously a popular pattern because i got this from listening to bleed by meshuggah and replicating the foot pattern with my hands. great instruction though!
lol it doesnt fit comfortably in a 4/4 pattern because of triplets you have to add multiple crashes at the end, its all about feel, dont worry about things being exact on the beat. if youre late, drag the fill out,(of course in an original song) and add 2-3 crashes at the end, and just drop onto the beat. idk how to explain, but watch my vids, youll see when im messing around i do it quite nicely,
is there any sheet music for it? :O
BEAMS OF FIRE SWEEP THROUGH MY HEAD
he is a drummer that actually inspired a lot of good drummers like cobus :) but tell me all about buddy rich and how you know more about drumming instead :>
This is whats known as a four stroke ruff...Neil peart and Carter Beauford play it best. It starts on each 8 th note actually ie 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and ...Carter and neil both manipulate it so it might start on a 16th note Later or as a polyrythmic 4 /3 phrase.
@StratovariusFTW Hertas have been played for decades.
This is an absolutely great lesson. I love the herta! This is off topic but That kit would sound much cleaner (IMO) if the snares were a WEE bit tighter and if the floor tom was tuned about a 1/4 turn higher.
That and the fact that it's musical :-)
is this what travis is doing in the drum roll that ends the intro to "Violence" by blink 182?
Cobus ... jy's 'n mastjien boet !
It would be the same exact thing but with a different feel.
when cobus is doing it really fast are they just single strokes?
Yes
Can someone for the love of pie tell me how to get the track playing at 8:42?
I can do that, yey;)
That's the Travis Barker one I been looking for @ 0:15. That's what I came here for.
3:00 - 3:11 Best part!
@Haxa91 Hertas are not single strokes.
@bourgeoisbrats That and the fact that it's musical.
also Blinded in Chains- Avenged Sevenfold
Every DT song existing
I tried to play this pattern for 2 hours straight and I gotta tell ya, my hands herta lot afterwards 🤣
Nice to hear that accent, I'm from Joburg. Kobus, you don't swear enough. You fuckin sure you from SA? :P
@xzalgsx I was going to comment that same thing.
@LukeSnyderMusic Yes they are, four single strokes.
This video made me realise the amount of times I've been hearing hertas that I think are triplets
Beast Mode: ON
Toms sound boss
Travis Barker was where I first heard Herta's too, but I think Cobus is a much more diverse drummer than Travis Barker (even tho I think Travis is better than most drummers give him credit for)
And i'm pretty sure Brann Dailor from mastodon unintentionally uses it.
@1dudecrush RIP Rev
@StratovariusFTW Mike Portnoy uses it a TON.
Isn't that the same thing as a Cobham Roll?
I guess Cobus plays until his hands Hertaahhahhahahahahhahah.....
