Your dad never ceases to amaze with how versatile he can be when it comes to musical talent

I'm not exactly a drummer, but I do play drums when recording my own songs and demos and what I can tell you is: The drums should 99% of the time be louder than the cymbals, otherwise your beat will turn into white-noisecore. Also, when playing the hi hat you can play with just the tip of the drumstick instead of a bigger part of it. That will give you a more """staccato-ey""", clean and focused sound. Not always what you want but definitely important to learn :)

Drummer here! For rock and most other styles, it is true that you want the drums to be louder than the cymbals. However, in a lot of jazz contexts and possibly others, the cymbals are the backbone of the rhythm and swing, not the drums.

Love your videos man keep at it

Shoutout to Mikey’s Chuck Taylor’s! The high tops! My dad had a pair when he played on the basketball team in high school. He wore them well into his adulthood. Way cool, dude. I don’t know about the current pairs, but his size 11’s were HEAVY! Always try new instruments! You never know where the inspiration and tenacity will lead!

Your vids inspire me to keep going with my music, I am teaching myself to play guitar I am going into my 2nd year and sometimes don't have the motivation to play, but ur vids alway encourage me so.. thanks :)

Keep it going!

I get the jealousy, I wish i could have the same opportunities as him. He could probably make enough money as musician to live easy

As someone who has a lot of passion for music, but instead had to become a Doctor, your channel truly makes me smile, dude. I don’t know if you’ll ever read this comment, but, you give me hopes to pick up the guitars in the future once I’m done studying. So, thanks for that, man, and the video was dope as always. Keep up the good work, man!

I’ve played drums on and off for many years alongside Guitar and this video kind of reminded me that I need to actually buckle down and treat it as a learning Process the same way I would with Guitar. Instead of just noodling around and not progressing

nice

Love the videos, its good to see a guitarist who tries new things and doesn’t only play blues

How the heck are you so good at the drums already

your long videos are underrated

Mikey I know this vid is about drums but could you do a tone tutorial and how you get yours. I love it. Idk if you did already and if so could you tell me what video? Thanks.

amazing vid , try leading with the opposite hand

this has inspired me to buy a new amp for my guitar 🙏 (i dont have room for drums)

Smells like like teen spirit is to hard man

I would honestly love to see you play something very fast on drums

i want drums too man 😢😢

Bro needs some pillows for his kick 😭

So I’ve been playing guitar for about four years now But I got a Strat two years ago from a friend and then like a month later I got a drum kit also from another friend So it’s been fun learning two instruments at the same time Whenever I would get tired of guitar I would play drums But I think I got better at drums😂 Definitely recommend doing this

W vid, next is learning how to palm mute to Master of Puppets lol

This is very inspiring because I'm a drummer and somewhat bassist and I desire to one day be as good as my friend on guitar so I learned a couple basic things on guitar and it's a very fun journey

Try keep your arms as close to your body as possible, helped me loads :)

now u know how to play guitar, bass and drums so. we want one man cover song in upcoming future !!!!!

i rarely wear shoes when playing, my socks do just fine

You deffo inspired us... cause now we know we can do better... only joking lol

Could i get a strat please 💪🏼

This ain’t tap dancing. Also you need to muffle the bass drum. Set the toms on right and level the cymbals out. The angle affects the sound. A 45 angle is still to much, it can change the sound and create wear on the cymbals.

Pete Anderson video???? He rips Fr

Try Concrete by Lovejoy💤

you should do fit checks more often in your videos 🔥🔥🔥

hi

noo, you don't keep up with the guitar, the guitar keeps up with the bass and the bass keeps up with you. actually nevermind you should do whatever makes you comfortable but traditionally the bass and drums are the heart beat of the song

You have ur ride to high

The drum configuration looks morbidly uncomfortable Edit: also stick to guitar man...drums ain't for you

Bro that hihat is way to open

Well now get a double bass pedal, and become a metal drummer

Please dont do that do cymbals. Please. That hurts me deeply. Cleaning them will remove cymbal and change the tone. Unless you like that I guess

try piano

you should stick to being a riff junkie AKA the guy who bases his entire personality off of stuff Stevie and Jimi did

play drums barefoot

not quite my tempo, are you rushing or dragging?

this hurt to watch lmao new players never have any technique so the look so freakin awkward on the kit
