Mike
I hope you could do a drum lesson/tutorial/play along video on the song Greek Tragedy by The Wombats.🤗
Superb!🙏🙌 What a great drummer and mentor!! I am so grateful!💖 I've been watching your videos / yt channel to learn drums and have been consciously applying your teachings/ techniques. I have recently completed/ played the song "Dancing in the Moonlight" by following your videos. So fun!!:)) Thank you so much. May the Lord bless you and your loved oned always. 💖🌻
@@tunabelly7513 Thanks man!
Amazing Mike, these playlists are perfect for practising. You should be proud of your teaching skills, so so helpful.
I appreciate the speed and no nonsense approach of your lessons! Quick and to the point, but filled with a lot of valuable information! 👍
I was more and more impressed with your timing throughout
The video. Good timing is a given for drummers sure but wow!
Brilliant. I thank you. Boom, tish.
Mike, you're just so easy-going and natural and enthusiastic! A born teacher whose love of drumming oozes out of every groove. Tremendous!
Cheers Geoffrey! Appreciate you watching man :)
You really are a great teacher man. We are lucky to have you.
Cheers Michael, thanks for watching and glad you dig 🙏🏻👏🏻
Bro you are the best teacher in the world of UA-cam drummers. You have a real knack for breaking things down and really teaching the way teaching should be done.
I appreciate that!
Your Bo Diddley and Rosana shuffle videos are first class !! Your 1 minute videos are fun and your training exercise videos are brilliant
@@njdrummer7120 🙏🏻
I like the idea of the practice playlists for each beat type, I'll definitely be using these! Thanks Mike!
Funny sizes of toms. Sounds great :)
Massive, awesome! Thanks mate! You make it fun! Straight forward no blah blah blah. No showing off. I am going to practice this now!
Best instructor on UA-cam!
🙏🏻👊🏻
So useful! Thanks Mike
Cheers Gavin!
Such a good dude and teacher, great vids 👍
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time, the value in a video this is just off the scale 👏🎵🎶
Perfect - exactly what I needed - thank you
Cheers Sally! :)
The head, the heart, the hands... Wonderful :°))
ua-cam.com/video/bESN5pwwkJA/v-deo.html
Great video, thanks Mike! You always make me wanna practice when you drop a new beat or a new fill, I guess that's the best a UA-cam video can cause👍
👊🏻
Just too awesome. Like the way you count, take your time to thoroughly and slowly explain as you play. It really helps. I would like to see your left hand and foot view a little better if you could. ❤️
you’re so underrated! i loved this video. thank you so much!
Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👊🏻
Came across your channel by chance, and totally brilliant! Great content and style. Really enjoying learning through your videos…. Awesome!!👍👍
Thank you!
So glad I found you dude! You don't know how hard it is to survive in a male dominated industry! Thank you for your practical method!
Ah cheers Jan! Much appreciated and so glad you dig :)
This is so amazing.
🙏🏻👊🏻
very nice Mike
See! This is wha tI mean. The most practical lesson around. Chock full of foundational knowledge, which will only expand, without resorting to the flex show off intro, the bullshit here's it at 80 bpm, and now at 150bpm with ulrta fills, just good honest drumming. You GIVE A SHIT that I get better.
You the man, Love from your aussie follower down under, cheers mate.!
🙏🏻👊🏻
As my mates and I used to say to DJ's in the 80's - "Got any Ska mate?"
I'm so glad I found you on YT, I'm learning drumming to help with my fitness, walking is hard for me but bashing the drums isn't & I love doing it. These how to do a certain beat videos are great but my favourite beats are Ska beats & I'm finding it hard to disect various Ska vids I've found, so I'd love to see a quick demo from yourself. Specifically, I'm a big fan of the late, great John Bradbury, I'm desperate to learn the beat of "too much, too young", especially the iconic intro. I suspect the intro is fairly easy but I'm not knowledgable enough to work it out.
Looking forward to your next vids.
Ah cool Neil, thanks for watching! Yeah that’s a good call - on the case. And so pleased you’re getting something out of the channel. Cheers man!
I recognise the disco beat as the entire drum track of Blur's Girls and Boys
Great tutorial bro
🙏🏻👊🏻
Hi Mike your lessons are great could you break down the 1/2 time shuffle again when you get a chance thank you again your brilliant
Thanks Patrick, several more vids about half-time shuffle on this channel...

@8:10 - many reggae tracks also emphasise the 'one drop' on the one literally. that's getting into the 'rootsier' stuff. sometimes gets jazzy with some swing as well.
Hi Mike, first I love your drumming style. Cool grooves and fills! Also your lessons clear, motivating and really helpful. Thank you! A quick one - in swing or triplets on the ride, sometimes people play contant open / close hi hat. Do you have a video on this?
Cheers! Videos about developing open/close hi-hat skill here....

ua-cam.com/video/LTVGH2z2sAo/v-deo.html
Not in triplet feel or swing feel as such, but still helpful I hope :)
Half time shuffle Empires by Elbow. Great vid as always Mike
Great call Ian! Our very own Alex Reeves on drums :) Hope you're well man.
@@MikeBarnesDrums all good here. Yup love Reeeeeeves
After just getting my kit and seeing this, makes me wanna get to this stage asap, lol. Just learning how to hold the sticks atm hahaha, and feels like this is a million years away. Need to dedicate 90 mins a day to practice and another 90 mins a day to exercise, this year is gonna kill me on top of working, need to retire hahahahaha can't wait to be able to jam away to my favourite songs!!
Thanks for watching Dominic!
Thanks so much for the playlists mike. Invaluable. lot of time and effort gone into those! Feel free to use my playlists “drumming stuff” and “ learn these drum songs” 😎
Cheers!
Great vid, thanks. I'll definitely be using the playlists, and I'll let you know if any good suggestions come to mind.
Cheers Mojique! :)
J adore, :)
Merci d'avoir regardé :)
@@MikeBarnesDrums de rien, C est un plaisir :)
Hi, mike, how about the Jam or Paul Weller? He has always had good drumming in most of his songs. Another great bit of advice from you.
I'm late to your stuff but it's great 👍 The one that I need to work on is the "one drop" reggae beat. I am familiar with it but...I'd hate to drive a reggae band. I would say that if you know these 8 beats well...you'll never look silly behind the drums.
Cheers Robert! Yeah that’s the idea. These are just the tip of the tip of the iceberg, but they’ll get you started! Thanks for watching :)
A great summary of the basics for a beginner like me Mike, really enjoyed that one.
Would Sunday Bloody Sunday qualify as a double handed 16th note feel?
Cheers Alan, thanks for watching as always.Yeah, it's kind of a twist on the classic version of that groove, with a bit of military feel mixed in in the way that it's orchestrated between hi-hat and snare. So didn't add it to the list as I didn't really feel it was one you'd really "jam" along to unless you'd learned the part quite specifically. Great call though! :)
What do you wrap the drum stick with? This video is great. Now I know what is called what i m working on the "16th Note Feel". Thank you so much
Cheers! Stick wrapp:amzn.to/3K28T9w
Hi Mike, can you please suggest how we can improve my tempo for playing the disco feel pattern? The challenging part for me is to play both the bass drum and closing hi hat... By the way you are the best drum teacher in UA-cam
Cheers! ua-cam.com/video/AmEXFANqe1s/v-deo.html
Straight into it, no messing, love it………..but you might wanna low cut filter your mic sir to eliminate plosives, popping and low end stuff 😎
Great vid, Matt! Could you perhaps do one where you breakdown the drumbeat in the song 'Santeria' by the band Sublime?
I'll add it to the list! Cheers for watching :)
Suena muy bien esa bateria.....podias hacer un video enseñando que bateria usas y que modulo?
Gracias por ver. Ya lo hice, puedes verlo aquí: ua-cam.com/video/G9M85FEHrb0/v-deo.html
@@MikeBarnesDrums suena muy muy bien.gracias
Great stuff Mike, very enjoyable, and well explained. Just curious, when you talk about the different grades of drumming, grade 3, etc., are you referring to Rockschool drum grades, or something else? Thanks!
Trinity and Rockschool. Usually have Trinity in mind when I say that but they’re in the same ballpark! Thanks for watching :)
@@MikeBarnesDrums Thanks!
love your way of making it super easy except I am a new left handed female drummer and I am thinking I should perhaps learn sheet music? also learn how learn my new Roland electric kit too haha
Thanks for watching Selena - yes I'm a big fan of learning to read sheet music. Cheers!
#redbeard 💯
Hi Mike! Great Tutorial Video👍🏻
I am a beginner on the drums.
I have a question about number 6 (Disco) You play a fill on the snare between and at the end of the groove.Can you please tell me what hand phrase this is and the note? Thank you! Keep up the good work!
Cheers Pelle,
1st one: "3e+ , 4 +a" played as RLR , R RL
2nd one: "(3) +a, 4 +a" played as RL, R RL (the three is played on the hi-hat)
@@MikeBarnesDrums Cheers Mike, Thank you for your quick reply. I want to play it right away. A simple fill but with effect, great thanks. Have a good day. Cheers
My kick work is still hideous, HELP!!! 😂 Great video many thanks.

@@MikeBarnesDrums Thank you brother, do you do online tuition? I'm in Kent, full disclosure I'm left handed... That makes life soooo uncomplicated. 😑
Hallo Mike , i know you’ve talked about your electronic kit before but I can’t find the info …
I’m looking to upgrade my kit currently have a Roland td 7 .Looking at various the new yamaha stuff looks great . But yours sounds fantastic, it’s mainly / mostly for home practicing.
Thanks for any tips/ pointers .

Hello Mike, do you have CDS? I would really like to buy some of them. Thank you
I wish you'd do the Beatles she's loves you
Lots of Beatles vids here: ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=mike+barnes+drums+beatles
Hi Mike, great video! How about Equinox by Coltrane for the Jazz/Swing feel list - it's got a cool bass drum pattern along with the swinging ride too.
Great suggestion Luke, added 👊🏻
What would be the difference in sound of playing a kick as a whole now Vs a quaver?
Good question! Video about this coming up, stay tuned! 👊🏻
I know there’s already a fast 16th note song from the arctic monkeys but The View From The Afternoon is a good one that I personally found a bit easier than brianstorm
Great video btw :)
Cheers man, yes considered that one, just that it’s a bit more stop/start and has more changes, whereas Brianstorm is more consistent 16ths all the way through. Cheers!
Could you break down the fill at 13:33? 🔥
Hey man, there's no drum fill at 13:33!
hi mike im bored quarantine is killing me
Great vid!
I'm working on wake me up, when September ends...if u could do the break down of that tune:)
Maybe add Bee Gees Stayin Alive and Queen Another Bites the Dust to straight 8s
Good stuff, cheers Will!
No 9 The Texas Shuffle. See y’all.
That’s a variation on the shuffle, number 4! And yes love a Texas shuffle!
What in the world is that drum chair 🤣
A cajon!
Sir i request for eldorado
I believe you forgot funk.
