We check in with our trusty columnist, Nashville's premier country drummer Rich Redmond, who explores all the creative possibilities of the venerable train beat, including swing versus straight time, ghost notes and buzz rolls, and various bass drum patterns to change up the feel.
I love Rich’s passion & enthusiasm. He deserves all the success he’s created for himself. Great distinctions!
Amazes me how much of this stuff you learn just by being a band nerd in high school/college, all the fundamentals “should” be taught at those levels
Those variations at the end sound awesome..love it
The snare sounds freakin awesome! I love how it barks!! Alot of people have never heard a low sounding snare cause they only listen to drummers whos snare head doesnt breathe at all. Rich is amazing! Great guy too!
Great video, very helpful! I was tipped on to this guy from a user on a drum forum. I am a former gigging metal drummer who after a 10 year hiatus was talked back into playing out again. This time country music though. This guy goes against everything I previously thought about country drummers and their style of play. Great videos and thank you for putting this type of information and instruction out there. Too bad UA-cam wasn't around in the 90's, would made things a whole lot easier.
Thanks so much!!!
I'm not a drummer. This guy just taught me ten years in ten minutes. My compliments.
Thanks for the help all of the beats he shows are awesome great teacher thanks rich
Very vividly presented, thanks for the excellent inspiration!
Great lesson as always. I find that loosening the snares ties the groove together. Just me. Rich is such an inspirational person.
I had to learn that beat and you described it perfectly I love it
awesome I started playing 10 months ago by ear and this really helps a lot!
That's awesome. Thanks dude. Great teacher.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you!
7:55 deesch dasch deesch dasch deesch dasch deesch dasch BANG
Nice tutorial, Rich! Love the train beat and it looks so much fun to play. Gonna get at this tonight on the kit. Thx!
Love some railroad rhythm... dooga CHAGGA dooga CHAGGA dooga CHAGGA-doo cha-CHAGGA
Funny, I’m not a country drummer and I practice the train beat on my practice pad is one of the things that I practice how funny is that
great breakdown and you saved me having to get a lesson!
thanks a lot for breaking down that beat, it is essential to most any johnny cash song, thanks again for the lesson
Thanks Rich....you are really good....
ye man, that snare sound is beautiful...
Thanks! My pleasure!
Good stuff man!
Great drummer!
this helps me alot :D
Great stuff! I had my fiddle player buddy from Branson teach me how to do this back in the day because its the "money shot" ......if you will. Hoedown players know what they want in a drummer, that's fo' sho'! Thanks for expanding my knowledge Rich.....I am a big time fan!
Thanks so much!!
very good
RADAR LOVE! thanks for the shoutout to the dutch ;)
Great lesson Rich, I check for the score but nothing, did U have the score somewhere ? Thanks
Thank you Rich !
If you want a successful career as a drummer, then thats your own buisness, but this guy is great and teaching the truth! im taking all his advice! Good Job Rich!!! :)
Rich is a successful drummer. Why do you make it sound like being a successful drummer is a bad thing
i love the snare sound...big and fat!
johnnyparamedic the crashes make the ride look tiny 😂
It's Joey Kovar!
haha ik vond het ook bijzonder dat hij het kende!
love the video but i gatta say... i really don't like the sound of that snare, i feel it needs to be tuned a tad tighter
hey man can you help me out because my friend Jacob talk to you and what's the best drums sticks for me
They were mics on the camera only! :)
Are you using overhead mics? Which ones?
7:41 lol
Rico Suave"
6:21 that face
Needs to change the snare batter head
some people like their snare to sound like a shoe in a dryer.
very good lesson but the snare sounds bad.radar of love..
Ballroom Blitz?
Why do pop/rock drummers struggle so hard with this? I often encounter drummers with 20+ yrs experience who can 4/4 their butts off, tons of chops, good meter, but then when I call out a Vince Gill song they fall apart. Why is that?
I was the guy you just described, until a few years ago, when I was called on to play a couple bluegrass style songs at a church. It used to baffle me how keep track with the accents, and it wasn't until I practiced this general pattern that I could pull it off. Esentially, if you've never done it, your not gonna know how to do it. Just like asking an 80's rock guitar player to solo over some Merle Haggard songs, it isn't likely going to go well.
@@bigwood1627 Good grief, Big Wood....What a GREAT observation! One that is pretty obvious, but somehow I completely missed it! You're exactly right: if I call out a classic country song that requires the guitar player to do clean fills and pedal-steel-ish accents I can bet the other guitarist is going to be just as lost as the drummer when we need a train beat. It's just one of those things that requires some focus and practice. When I was 25 playing a Les Paul through a Marshall, if someone had asked me to do a convincing-sounding solo to "Liza Jane" I'd have fallen so hard on my face I'd probably pack up my stuff and gone home! lol. So, yeah, I need to lighten up on drummers!
@@jakemitchell1671 hahaha! It's all good. I only know it because I've lived it. And, I have to admit, it was embarrassing trying to play a train beat after being a drummer for 20+ years, and struggling with such a simple pattern.
Big Wood: Can you explain why it's so challenging? A very good drummer I played with for several years who could play almost any style struggled mightily with it even after working on it for a month or more. He did eventually get close, but it never flowed. It always felt forced and stilted. As a drummer of 20+ years can you explain why? thanks.
@@jakemitchell1671, could be a number of things. Drumming one style, or maybe a few, similar styles will get a drummer in a comfortable rut. Like playing straight 16ths without accents is pretty easy. Try to accent on certain 16ths, and ghost the others introduces a whole new technique, really. Then, try to play them "swung" when you pretty much never play shuffle patterns, and you're in deep sh*t. A guy has to sit down and get repetitive, until muscle memory takes over. Some drummers put in 30 minutes, and pretty much they got it, others might put on 30 minutes a day, for a month, and never get it. I learned basic shuffle in 7th grade, but I currently play in a classic rock/country band nowadays, and nothing we do is shuffle. Perfect example: I decided to learn John Bonhams Fool in the Rain pattern, I could not get the ghost notes on the snare for about a month, and then one day, I was tapping my fingers, and it just clicked. I went right to the kit and pulled it off, kinda. Years ago, I played in a kind of prog- metal style band, almost nothing in 4/4, multiple time signatures, and tempo changes, and used to have really good double bass, but after 7-8 years, not using double bass, other than an occasional fill, that technique has really gone away.
d bag
if you want to know train drums listen to elvis's mystery train. or anything chuck berry did. he knew trains better than anyone. this stuff is too over fuelled. that's snare chain wants fixin too.
what?
Snare sounds like a Cardboard box. Needs a new Head, and needs to be tightened to get a better train beat sound.
I agree about the tuning part, but I think what ever mic he is using is condensing and skipping some of the sound too much. I keep hearing it cut out. It would also help not to kill the drum too haha
Says the guys "not" in the teachers seat!
It doesn't matter just take his knowledge and go critique videos of yourselves playing!
Bama MoonDog depends on preferences and song dynamic.
Good grief moondog...he's teaching a train beat, not head tuning. God only knows what his mic is doing to the tone. where is your instruction video? perhaps you can demonstrate the proper tuning and snare sound?
Just love how some d-bags find it necessary to post negative comments about a successful drummer who's played on multiple platinum albums as well as toured the world many times (not to mention plays his mortgage playing drums). Negativity, envy, and loathing are self defeating lies. As far as his snare goes who knows if its sound was captured correctly or accurately reflected by this recording....?
I should mention, plays drums for many others as a session player and ghost musician for other drummers who cant always cut it in the studio, not just Jason Aldean
8:10 "douche" and repeat ad nauseam
that snare sounds so bad
Sounds like a DW snare drum, absolutely awful
The snare sounds like garbage
