I'm working on this with my 10 year old. Went down to the basement because in the choruses, he was going to the ride, but still reaching over with his left hand to open the hat per the verses. I told him he didn't need to do that - it's just ride. And he said "Actually papa, he doesn't go to the ride at all in the chorus". Went back and listened, and damn if he wasn't right. I don't hear any ride either. :) Still a great lesson!
@@BehindtheBeatwithChrisLangan Me too I am just learning Mary Jane now. Chris are you still doing You Tubes or online lessons? I like your style, I am just learning.
Great tutorial, I’m 58 and bought an electronic kit, have been air drumming for years, never had a lesson and can kinda play along but not exactly, can’t get the second hi hat in, keeps throwing me off so I just dropped it, can do the first one no problem, even tried adopting your robotic arm movement to do the first hi hat crash, thanks man
Great job playing and thanks for the breakdown and tutorial. This was the first full song I learned to play thanks to watching your video a few months back.
So glad I was able to help you! Please check out my website www.chrislangandrummer.com I will be offering downloadable lessons and courses very soon. You can sign up for my email list to keep ip to date with new lessons! Cheers!
@@BehindtheBeatwithChrisLangan If my band mates could tell you they would also thank you too! Made a big difference in getting the song down properly, now it's a favorite of ours, again thank you
Thanks for posting this drum lesson! I 'm a guitar and bass player / teacher, but almost a total newbie at drums. I chose Mary Jane's Last Dance as my 2nd drum song to learn, because I was playing it (on guitar) with some friends recently.
Honestly, it was just the original track. I've just played the song so many time that I pretty much have it nailed. haha. I did search here on youtube and found a Rockband version without drums. It's a little different sounding. Don't think it's actually Petty. You could probably but it though somewhere. I hope the video has helped. Keep in touch if you need anything! :)
Nice, but you really should have the kick drum alternate beats between measures 1 and 2. The kick drum pattern changes throughout the song, but the 3 note pattern is on 36 measures out of 97, so it does occur quite often during the entire song. 1st measure: 1 eighth note then 2 eighth notes. 2nd measure: 1 eighth note then 1 sixteenth note + 2 eighth notes.
First drummer I've ever seen play this song entirely correctly. Stellar transcription!
Stanley Draughon thanks so much man! Yeah it drives me nuts when people do covers of songs like this and miss the most important parts!
I really appreciate the breakdown and the time you took to slowly walk through it. This was fantastic!! Would love to see more. Thank you!!
Thanks! Finally someone is counting it out!!! If I have the count I can follow so I appreciate it!.

great cover
Thank you! I am here to learn this song for a band just like you said😆
Thank you Chris, really helpfull I'll practice and watch back this video this week (or 2) greetings from the Netherlands

Awesome! I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Hey bro where you been. I enjoy your youtube. Keep groovin
Is that a drumless track you were playing to? If so, how can I get a copy of that drumless track?
Thanks man! Good job!

thought the original was played using both sticks on hi-hAT, was doing it wrong hehe..
1:31 whoops!

NOT!!!
@@EarthtonesCymbals If teaching a "lesson" on how to play a song, you should learn it properly BEFORE you give bad instruction to others...just sayin.
16th notes on the hh are steller, thanks for the breakdown
Tony T My pleasure!
