Gina Knight, Drum Lessons Girl, shows drummers how she plays a train beat, or a country beat. www.drumlessons... for downloadable links and info on the DLG double DVD :)
“Are you ready, Steve?” “Uh huh.” “Andy?” “Yah.” “Mick?” “Okay.” “Well all right fellas, let’s goooooooo!” Am I really that old? Goodness! Nice explanation and demonstration, young lady!
This was a very helpful video. So easy to grasp the train beat with your explanation. I’m an amateur drum teacher and will pass on this drum style to my young students. They will love it!Thank you.
Gina...Great Lesson...this was just what I was looking for to help our church with an upbeat country/bluegrass version of a Gospel song...the train beat was what I needed. You have a great teaching style...enjoy the videos...will check out your DVD!!! Thanks!!!
I just realized where I heard that somewhere apart from country music...In a Nine Inch Nails song where Josh Freese played....now for the life of me it’s going to bug me until I realise what the name of the bloody song was....love your work by the way.
Damn, did a cougar get hold of your brushes?! Ha ha ha! I've seen some messed up drum equipment (mine, because I have a lot of house cats who apparently think mommy's drums are for chewing!) but those brushes have really been through the mill! Excellent teaching video, by the way. I think you're so cool.
DrummerGrrrl Oh - that is so funny! A cougar! Hahaha….those brushes are so comically messed up, aren't they?? I don't know why I didn't get a new pair before doing this video!! lol Thanks for watching DrummerGrrrrrl ;)
LOL, I love the sound of the snare, It's not the equipment that it have, but the player that plays it, Thanks for the bo Diddley's variation, will use it in the future.
Essentially the Train Beat and its derivatives in Country Music as well as Rhythm and Blues as well as Rock and Roll stem from the rhythmic cadence of a steam locomotive exhaust at various speeds and loadings as well as the other noises and swaying caused by the jointed track. Listen to the lyrics of Johnny B Goode for confirmation. Railroading is the original Heavy Metal.
Hi Gina, Im a self taught drummer, and this lesson is great. Harder then I imagined. Should I start slow with metronome, and increase by 2BPM's each day? 100, 102, 104,106, etc........for how long? THX
Drummers, please check out the *NEW reed style brush drum sticks I have available on www.gkdrums.com/store They're called Flack Wackers, and they are PERFECT for a train sound! :)
Oh good, so it's not just me with hecked up brushes that have seen terrible things. I feel like doing this beat with sticks is also a good way to work on your ghost notes.
Hi total beginner here ( with zero musical ability to boot ) - to me I hear maybe 2 bars as You have notated at about the one min. mark, then what sounds like a different pattern, maybe twice as fast or something added but not noted. ??? thanks Rick C. this happens on other sites as well, so called 'beginner' lessons that aren't.
Hi Rick! This symbol > means to play an accent. I think I know what you are referring to in your comment. Check it out again at 1:27, and look for the > over the 3rd and 4th snare notes. Also, please feel free to check out my site. www.gkdrums.com/store I have a really helpful chapter that you can download that explains how to read drum notation, accents, and dynamic markings. It should help you with not only my videos but anyones. Best of luck, go get 'em! :)

Very good explanation of the train beat. Thanks
This was the best spent 3+ minutes in a long time. Thanks for explaining so easy plus showing the supercool bass drum alternative.
Haha….Thanks Joachim! I appreciate it! Thanks for watching -

I love how you played a country beat on a Joey Jordison snare 😂
+James Stinebaker Hahahaa….yeah

I have a Joey snare, but never used it with brushes! It's my favourite snare for brutal rimshots though!!!
@@Mychannel377 Sort of Southern Metal (Although i've never heard any Band in that style played the train beat. Hahaha)
I thought the same
Man what a cool way to practice your double stroke rudiments. NICE break down. I am so stoked I found you.
+Lipstick Drumstick Hay-eeeeee!!! Great! So happy to hear dat Lipshtick!! :) Thanks!
Thanks!!!!!!!! from Chile.
Good job! I like the double stroke roll variation! It reminds me of the book Accents and Rebounds.
I love your video Gina, I'm glad you're playing off Ballroom Blitz
Thanks!!! This is the only real explanation of how to play this beat. #greatinstructor
