well if you think about it he also taught terminology that translates to other and more complex beats, plus the breakdown is very nice for brand new beginners to follow along
@@alfdlgnaat If you teach someone that “one” means “play the hi hat,” they’re going to be monumentally screwed when later, better teachers teach them how to count
@@sh0shin except none of the terminology he used is useful. Nobody calls it apple and orange dude. Ive been playing 20 years and this is the first tjme ive ever heard anyone use that terminology
"This beat is called the apple and orange beat" no its definitely not. Drummer for nearly 18 years and this is totally unrelatable, even more so since I've done some instructing to brand new drummers and I don't at all see how this would be more beneficial than simply saying "First you count outloud and hit the HH on every note, then once you're ready you play HH + Kick on the 1 and on the 3 you play HH + Snare"
I've been playing various percussion instruments for about 20 years now and I've never heard this explained so strangely. Just count 4, kick on 1 and 3 snare on 2 and 4, eighth notes on hihat.
I’ve found with my students that this method of conceptualizing the beat is much easier. Instead of having to think what number they’re on and counting “one and two and…” it’s much easier for them to memorize three separate pieces and put them together. Once they understand this and get to playing on a kit, then I teach them the proper terms and they play it that way from then on.
@@danmoar94 everyone starts on different levels. Some people just have to work their way up. and as a teacher you need to have different levels for different students. And saying that someone has no business being a musician because they have to start at an easier level is a rude thing to say. It also shows your lack of perspective/understanding. We all gotta start somewhere, including you. No need to shame that. I’m not sure if you play and instrument but if you are on the level where you can start teaching others I would encourage you to try it out and see how it goes. You’ll lean a lot.
The Reggaeton beat. Pum... Tapum Tah pum... Tapum Tah pum... It's in goddamn 90% of songs on the radio. Those songs are mass-produced and churned like potato chips. There's very little behind them. That beat that boxes everything so hard the rest of the instruments cannot do their own things at all (if there are instruments at all), add 3 notes melodies, pop lyrics as deep as a puddle... _And people keep demanding more of it._ The music industry churn has become to music what fast-food is to gastronomy.
I've been teaching drums for years. Calling it the apple 1 orange 1 beat is needlessly confusing. Apple and orange have two syllables, yet in the explanation they both represent a single beat. Why?
I played that drum beat accidentally in a guitar store once and lots of people looked at me. I eventually realised what I played and why I was getting looks
@@WxB2001 i do it on purpose 😂😂😂 i find it so funny seeing people expose themselves First time i met my guitar player, he was the only dude in the room who recognized it 😂😂😂
I call it the gateway beat. It can be tricky to get the coordination down if you've never played a percussion instrument before, but once you figure it out, it exponentially expands the possibilities for what you can play.
Excellent, I love that. I said the words at loud mimicking the bass melody of Beat it and the rythm was there : “bass, hat, snare, hat, bass, hat, snare, hat.” Did you try that ?
@@thedrumcell watch Rick Beato's video on getting the "Alex Van Halen" snare drum sound!! You have a steel shell, and it's the same size. You'll be able to get a similar sound.
Im taking drum classes and I was having a bit of a hard time making my brain understand how to play that type of beat, but you just explained in a way that i understood!! Thank you!!!
The foundation of the beats in the songs are the same. Although yes you’re right, the instrumentations are different and some of the songs have extra ghost notes
Easier way to learn in 3 steps and teaches you 4/4 time sig. Slowly count “1, 2, 3, 4” over and over. Hit the hi hat every time you say a number. Once you got that, also hit the bass drum pedal with your foot everytime you count “One” and practice this over and over. Once that feels comfortable, hit the snare on “THREE”
Been playing for 15 years. Never heard this beat called this… It’s called either Boots and Cats, or the Money Beat, because it’s made more money than any other beat ever played.
Awesome video man! The way that you explained made more sense than the other three or four that i tried before. Definitely made my day to play that fast and that "musical" on my first 10 minutes on the drums. It unblocked the concept for me. Thanks
This is like stupid easy if you’ve been playing for a while but if you try and teach it to someone who’s never played drums before it’s like pulling teeth. Good tutorial.
