Beato said the drums were recorded WITHOUT cymbals and hats, and then had them overdubbed after. That, to me is crazy. But if anyone could do it, it's Dave Grohl. Songs for the Deaf is a great album, and I still love No One Knows. Awesome video!

Grohl is up there when it comes to amazing drummers of all times. His fills are legendary. One of my favorite drummers just behind Danny Carey.

Every time I hear that song or think of that song it reminds me of “A Day in the Life” by the Beatles .. how they both have this epic build up and then it stops and 1 instrument continues playing by itself.. the Piano 🎹 on “A Day in the Life” and the Bass 🎸 on “No One Knows” 😂

Brings me back to Maiden. The beginning of Where eagles dare. But what do I know I'm a guitarist!

On the topic of Bleed it was actually one of the guitarists Frederik Thordendal who came up with the various patterns in that song. Originally it was for a practice routine but then he presented it to the rest of the band as a potential song. They had doubts if it was actually doable on kick drums for a while and it ended up taking their drummer Thomas Haake around half a year to learn how to properly play it all the way through. It almost didn't make it onto the album and now it's their most famous song, love that band for how they're always pushing limits.

Dave Grohl is better behind a kit than the frontman. Queens knows how to pick drummers replacing him with Jon Theodore.

Very well done there, Mike. "No One Knows" always made me think of "Detroit Rock City" as well. Queens are probably the best straight rock band of the past 25 years imo. That drum fill was instantly addictive when I first heard it. Good job replicating it. 👍👏🤘

I have an idea. Make a video about Jake E Lee's Badlands. Learn some songs and show the people some techniques. Then everyone will understand why Jake E Lee is superior and can't be copied by anyone :)

Cobham 4 stroke. Carter Beaufords entire career was built on it.

Songs for the deaf is a masterpiece that really influenced me.

If you wanna go crazy with the herta, invert it. Doing that gives you the ability to accent the 1 and then do the triple after. This is great for nailing a cymbal on each beat and getting the triple inbetween. Sounds great in fills. It lets the cymbal and kick hit hard, and then the tappatatapp adds that spice on the snare and toms. It's also cool if you do kick and cymbal, tappataptap, then snare and cymbal tappataptap and go back and forth. Gives a really powerful halftime feel.

The drumming on this track is just beautiful. You should do a whole song for this one, it has a lot of incredible fills

Song for the Dead, is my favorite intro on that album, but he’s amazing throughout the entire thing.

🤘🏻🔥 was only thinking about this song yesterday

Thanks for breaking this down 🙏🏼 This truly is a special fill that stands out. I appreciate the deep dive on this!

I love how you can hear elements of different songs when you are working on basic building blocks. Impressive encyclopedic associations.

Another great vid, Mike, this fill got my attention immediately all those years ago and I never looked into it. Thank you!

I love that fill too! Great job!

Interesting, definitely going to throw this into my rhythm riffs, big fan of that groove.

Used to teach young kids, always loved teaching hurtas. Such an easy way for beginners to play awesome fills and build their rhythm
