Great video. This really helped me, as I struggled with two handed hihat patterns 4 years ago. But with practice I got better over time

I am thrilled to have found you. Thanks for this super helpful breakdown of a classic! I love all of your uploads.

You sir are beautiful!!!! Always loved this EPIC track. I am so very thankful for your videos. I must be a visual learner. I try to work through the sheet music and get instantly lost. You break it down into edible pieces one can easily digest. THANK YOU!!!

Really nice video!

First. One of the better thing about quarantine is being early for the videos. You rock Mr Barnes!!! This is my favourite song of all time too. The song has such great meaning as well!! Love this video Mr Barnes. Going to use this video and the playlist you told me about during this quarantine period!!! Amazing content!!!

Thank you, I needed a refresher! Request: Aint it Fun - Paramore. For the life of me I cant get the main groove. Sounds like a linear pattern? Thanks!

Always wonder how to drum this iconic U2 song. Now I know, thanks 👍 A suggestion, record your self from near the laptop, that turning is bad for your back, and not so plesant to watch.

Hey man, drumtec Diabolo kick and toms, Roland snare and cymbals, Roland TD-11 Module Kit: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eW2Bmpd_davYkpM.html Sounds: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d2p2mLRpd9Kporg.html How it’s recorded: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKhnyrxspLyfj6Q.html

How much of the song is that same 4 bar pattern? I mean I know it's different during the "How long? How long must we sing this song" part but beyond that how much is that same 4 bar pattern? I'm not super advanced so this song scares me but I feel like if it is basically just a case of memorizing that 4 bar pattern than it's a lot less scary.
