Smooth Criminal Drum Tutorial - Alien Ant Farm

The drums in Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm are killer and this drum video breaks down all the parts you need to play the song. Some of the fills will definitely take some practice, but there are 4 main grooves that should get you up and jamming in no time. Enjoy!

Thanks you very much for the break down. Very useful. Just of note, during the 16th notes hi-hat pattern in the solo I hear him doing some very quick hat openings with the bass drum. Just to complicate things further.... thank you again

Such an awesome video! 🤘

[@marciocvalente]

Thank you very much, great lesson.

[@EstevanDrummer]

Great tutorial, only guy who plays this right in UA-cam, thanks!

[@jaybelurkin]

You might wanna learn this from the actual drummer who drummed the beat in the studio and on tour. THIS is the right way to do it.
