This guy is at this 70s yet he's still a badass playing those drums

To any new learners, Roger Taylor is one of the best R&R drummers of all time and is still playing today. He’s like a grand master. Take note.

Roger’s trademark is hitting the snare with a very slightly open hi hat, closing the hat half a beat after the snare strike.

Agree! I could sit and listen all day to Roger (and Brian) sharing their memories and experiences from the late 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s

Best thing about roger is that he knows all the fancy stuff but he ALWAYS serves the song. That takes discipline. Amazing Roger

I’m not a drummer. I’m not even a musician. In fact I’m a grandma who has followed Queen since my salad days. Just want you to know, I’m following you because you have entertained me with your incredible falsetto and drum skills since we both sported long hair and tight leather slacks. Today...not so much. My hair is short and leather pants make my legs sweat. (Shrug) but I still admire talent. Thank you for the music, especially the beat. ROCK ON!

Roger Taylor, for all the youngsters, is one of the best drummers in R&R. Taylor's trademark was always playing what was best for the song instead of a standard beat for every album. Taylor was and is a very melodic drummer, probably because he sang on every song by Queen. Yeah, if you've just started playing drums, Roger Taylor is truly among the elite of the drumming world!

Hello Mr. Taylor. It is an honor to watch your video and it was a privilege to have grown up listening to Queen, in my opinion, the best rock band of all time. I was still a teenager when I first knew about you. Today in my fifties, my heart still beats of joy every time I listen to Queen Music. With my deepest feeling of admiration to you for your great performance playing the drums, composing songs, and singing in the band as well; Juan Manuel, a true admirer from Medellin, Colombia says God bless you.

Just amazing work both Roger and Brian are doing online right now for free. What good human beings.

I´ve have never had the chance to become a drummer or a musician, sometimes life guides us through other paths, but seeing Roger playing drums on TV when I was 6 years old, the Flash Gordon Movie, Radio Gaga videoclip, etc... it really shocked my world, and make me love drums. I still have this pending task with drums. Awsome lesson and a beatiful sneek peek to Roger´s life. Genius. My best regards from Argentina. PS.: What an awsome drums sound!!!.

I just love the way he uses his index fingers for the double strokes. It's quite unique. Thank you for your so long living inspiration through our lives.

Yeah he's bee dog that since the start. Watch the Keep Yourself Alive solos from the Rainbow and Hammersmith. He controls the sticks with his index finger rather than his little finger. He always does it with paradiddles. Very unorthodox. Gene Krupa used that technique too.

Roger is multi-talented. Not only does he play excellent drums, but also great guitar and has a unique voice 🥁🎸🎙🤗❣

Thank you Roger! Your drumming has brought all of us so much excitement, fun and pleasure for decades. Only recently did I realise what a superb singer you are as well.

This is very cool to watch, for someone who doesn’t drum. So incredibly kind for him to share his experience & mentor other drummers, and support those who have to stay at home. This is community at it’s best. Well done. Stay safe everyone, & be kind. Xxxooo

I’ve been listening to Queen for so long and with so much passion it has become part of me (and classic cars of course) needless to say I’m in love with Queen and my car). Huge respect to Roger for doing this and Brian doing his thing on KZread too😍

I love you Roger!!! You are the best drummer of the world!! Queen always in my heart, my soul, my life!!!

Legend of a musician, a pleasure to listen to.

From Auckland New Zealand My son Zach is 13 just started drumming has a Hitting drum pad and his drum sticks ....im 45 years old i have had great Enjoyment hearing Queen all my life.Now my Point.. BIG thank you for putting some great teaching of how we can learn from great people like you Mr Roger Taylor as this is not seen very offen just thanks for showing what you do my son Zach can watch and get too practice anyway KEEP THE QUEEN BAND GOING NO MATTER WHAT AS IT HEALS THE WORLD ....

Every Pratt who give this a thumbs down, wishes they could be a unique Drummer, write brilliant songs, and have a vocal range to die for...oh! and be part of the greatest band ever!

Drummers are often underrated and any good musician and singer knows how much a good drummer worts for a band.

I saw Queen with Lambert. Best concert I ever saw! Watching Roger and Brian work their magic in person was a thrill. I wish I could see them play again, and that this virus was behind us so we can get back to normal.

Greatest drummer of all time!! We all have our special favorites and Rodger is mine. Love the style!! John Bonham was excellent! Thank you for showing us!! I'm 52 and highly unlikely to ever learn how to play another musical instrument. I am sure all the up-and-coming drummers and newer kids coming into this can learn a lot from you. Watching your style makes me realize that when I was in the drum and bugle Corps back in the 1980s that are Drum Corps was good but what they didn't know...WOW!!
