I am an drummer in an up and coming band from Scotland even with four years behind the kit I'm still watching lesson tutorials like this to stay sharp.
I have an Emo girl as a friend and she recently sent me her Spotify playlist as I was looking for new material so here I am wanting to learn the core mechanics of punk drumming.
DD DRUMS hey wanted to reply on this thread before I get attacked again by some YT troller haha But yeah I’ve been making a lot of progress, all Beats 1, 2, and 3 you showed have helped me a lot and thanks for breaking it down Don’t want ya to think I was being a smart ass about asking about d beat, when I heard Josie by Blink it kinda sounded like the D Beat pattern does so that’s why I asked Check out Discharge or Varukers (early UK hardcore punk bands) and Skitsystem (Swedish d beat punk) But yeah I practice your tutorial everyday so thanks again pal!!
@@unknownanimation9904 good point. Although from a different perspective electric gives you more creative freedom. I love being able to connect mine right to midi and I have an unlimited number of sounds I can assign to each pad. I can also stay up all night playing while my gf is sleeping. But from a true drummer’s standpoint I fully agree with you. It feels so good to play an acoustic. Every drummer should experience it.
Hi Martha... These are my favorite comments to get.... I love the fact that the lesson made an impact with you... I will try to make the lessons in future like I did this one... Bite size pieces... Keep up the great work Martha...
@@rockyvsrambo82 Finally I understand these two last beats, most of the punk drummers simply know how to play it full speed but don't seem to be able to break it apart or to slow it down. THANK YOU!
Thank you for the video! I’m a guitarist and working on a solo record, where I do all instruments! Drums have been the most difficult for me. I can do easy Pink Floyd style drumming, but I want to throw some punk in there too! I’m trying to be as prolific as possible! Thank you again! This video helped a lot!
I started learning to play like this by reversing my arms and legs in a sense. I started by playing 8th note beats leading with my hand on the high hat and 1/4 notes on the kick drum. Later i somehow figured out how to switch that and play 8th notes on the kick drum and 1/4 notes on the high hat. I think that's a good way to think about it. I believe that playing 1/4 notes on the high hat is the whole idea to achieve that punk speed. Its a way to play fast without killing your arm trying to play 8th notes at super high speed.
thank you so much! I didn't know the first one was punk, I really like it for the simplicity of it but people always told me punk needed to have 2 kicks at 3 and it made me really confused
For ages I’ve been trying to get that sliding technique down on the right foot for the bass drum gallop. I’ve been in punk bands with people who can do it but I just can’t figure out how to get the right bounce. Any pointers for that?
Hi Bob... Hope your doin well man... Okay, here are some factors that I use to get a punchy bass drum sound... 1) The skin I use is an Evans Emad 2... 2) Tune it pretty deep. Not trying to tighten the bass skin much at all, rather keep it fairly loose... But still try and get each lug even tension. And enough tension that there are no 'wrinkles' in the skin. 3) Put pillow in drum. 4) When I mic up the bass drum drum, the mic is inside the drum close to and facing the point of attack. 5) I play heel up, thus getting more volume and attack. 6) Post recording, I use eq and compression on the bass drum too... Good Luck and Keep up the Great work Bob
Hey there... I have a lesson that helps build technique, control and speed for the bass drum... ua-cam.com/video/19uvDUvCciE/v-deo.html Also, I would use the metronome on this beat... Start slowly... Spend 2-3 minutes on each tempo... Speed the tempo up 5-10 bpm... You will eventually reach a ceiling, where you cant go any faster as things start to fall apart... Practice a little slower than this tempo... Spend a fair bit of time there at this tempo... Eventually, your ceiling will get higher...
I'm absolutely not a drummer. I have been playing for a couple of years because I love it and it allows me to do my own demos, but it definitely isn't my main instrument. I can play stuff that is way more complex (well nothing too great either :p) than that last punk rock beat. However, I have a hard time playing that specific beat at let's say 150 and just gradually augmenting the tempo is not really working. Would you have any advice whether it's on video form or just a message or whatever? I'd appreciate so much. Thanks for your videos!
Its probably got to do with the bass drum technique... Practise your bass drum technique... I have done a video for this... ua-cam.com/video/19uvDUvCciE/v-deo.html All the best!
Hello... The counting is something I would do when learning the beat and playing it slow... A bit like training wheels on a bike for beginners... But as your muscle memory kicks in you can let go of the counting... I especially like to use the metronome to keep track of the speed changes I am making. If I can do 80 bpm okay, next step will be 90 bpm, then 100, then 110 and so on. One mistake us drummers can make is to go from 80 to 180. Hope this helps.
@@arwaldc9056 stfu.. ur one of those annoying kids that learned something new and has to try to sound like they know what they're talking about and bring up some obscure wikipedia shit.
#2 could be interpreted as a variation on a D-beat with out the middle kick in the pattern. You should look up Brain Roe’s video on the d-beat if you wanna understand it quickly.

Been playing for over a decade, gigging for half of that. You never want to stop learning, and videos like this are a godsend.
How can I hear your band?
What's your band called m8
We never stop learning man, Rock on! 🤟
Subtle flex
I have an Emo girl as a friend and she recently sent me her Spotify playlist as I was looking for new material so here I am wanting to learn the core mechanics of punk drumming.
We love to impress a emo girl hope everything worked out!
Beat 3 is what I came for - you did not disappoint. Great lesson!
Great to hear. Thanks for the feedback! Appreciated
me too lol
And awesome tutorial! I just bought an electric drum set so I’m just learning
Hi Daniel... That's awesome news man! Great to hear...Happy to hear the tutorial is helpful for you! Keep up the great work Daniel...
DD DRUMS hey wanted to reply on this thread before I get attacked again by some YT troller haha
But yeah I’ve been making a lot of progress, all Beats 1, 2, and 3 you showed have helped me a lot and thanks for breaking it down
Don’t want ya to think I was being a smart ass about asking about d beat, when I heard Josie by Blink it kinda sounded like the D Beat pattern does so that’s why I asked
Check out Discharge or Varukers (early UK hardcore punk bands) and Skitsystem (Swedish d beat punk)
But yeah I practice your tutorial everyday so thanks again pal!!
Electric drums r nice, but nothing beats the sound of acoustic drums.

Thank you for this! I appreciate how you break it down into manageable pieces and show both the technique and notation.

Very true... Thanks for the feedback!

@@rockyvsrambo82 thank you :)
This is so good appreciate it man!
Hi Joshua... Thanks man for the positive feedback... You rock man!

I never see these talk about the Ramones beat, eighths on the closed high hat and the snare on 2 and 4, all at a very fast tempo.
This is rocking Mr Debono
Thank You very much!
Funny around 1:50 I swear I heard the bass guitar kick in lmfao 😂
You broke this down so well
Thanks Alex... Very appreciated!

Much Appreciate it.
Please tell me you play punk in church
👍 For Mentioning Dude Ranch and Josie 👊
No problem... Love dude ranch.... Soooo good!
Great stuff my man🙌🏻⭐️✅
This is great! I'm a beginner. Do you have any lessons where you have the music playing in the background, kind of like karaoke for drummers? Thnx...
Drumeo, my colleague uses it specifically for this
3:34 "lets push it to 150" me:"ok now thats is just josie by blink" 😂😂
Yeah Josie is such a classic song from Dude Ranch... Love it...
Awesome videos man! I'm making a lot of process because of these videos.

Take your time with this...
How do you get such a punchy bass drum? I usually play jazz so I have my whole kit adjusted for it and I’m not sure what to do for the bass drum.
Hi Bob...
Hope your doin well man...
Okay, here are some factors that I use to get a punchy bass drum sound...
1) The skin I use is an Evans Emad 2...
2) Tune it pretty deep. Not trying to tighten the bass skin much at all, rather keep it fairly loose... But still try and get each lug even tension. And enough tension that there are no 'wrinkles' in the skin.

What could you do to building up speed on the last drum beat pattern?
Hey there... I have a lesson that helps build technique, control and speed for the bass drum...

Also, I would use the metronome on this beat... Start slowly... Spend 2-3 minutes on each tempo... Speed the tempo up 5-10 bpm...

Eventually, your ceiling will get higher...
I’m a drummer with 8 years of experience and I’m trying to draw inspiration from other genres other than metal
Rock solid SICK 😊
Thanks Camo
The 130 bpm beat at 1:29 all I could hear in my head was London Calling 😂
Awesome... Great to hear!
Another awesome lesson dude.
Thanks very much Michael.

I don’t understand how you make it faster, do you still do the 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and count just as fast as you can?
Hello... The counting is something I would do when learning the beat and playing it slow... A bit like training wheels on a bike for beginners... But as your muscle memory kicks in you can let go of the counting... I especially like to use the metronome to keep track of the speed changes I am making.

Your welcome Adip...
Is number two or three the d beat
Do you mean down beat?
DD DRUMS no I mean like an actual “d beat” type of drum pattern discharge is notorious for inventing
@@arwaldc9056 cool... Not really sure actually... But these 3 beats are super popular in the world of punk rock...
@@arwaldc9056 stfu.. ur one of those annoying kids that learned something new and has to try to sound like they know what they're talking about and bring up some obscure wikipedia shit.

At 130 it's sound like beat it drumline by Michael Jackson
The problem with punk rock is that it’s so fast!!!
Hi Otavio... Yes, you are right... Its very fast... Just start slow and build from there...
Not necessarily, there is a lot of mid-tempo in 77 punk, Oi!, artpunk, postpunk and powerpop. Hardcore punk is usually pretty fast!
The best dumber Becausestep-by-step how to do it
Hey there... Thanks for your support... Super glad you have found these lessons helpful... Keep Rocking!!
Ok
I feel really stupid I can’t play the last one
Don't feel stupid. It can be a little tricky for the bass drum to play those quick doubles... Give it time... You will get there...
No D-Beat?!
Yes I know the D beat... Perhaps I will do a video on the D beat... Keep rocking!
Im also a fan of gordon ramsay
Poop snare❤
