As soon as the beat started up you can see his facial expression change to all business. Awesome cymbal grabs. Beat was dead on, not over playing. This is a lesson for all future drummer's. You don't have to fit in a bunch of fills to sound great. Once again great video.

@UltraCodex66 6 лет назад

Michigan Matt well, it depends on the intention. As a drummer, I will play even such an easy thing but if we/I need a more interesting composition, I add stuff as I see drums equal to all instruments. It works in here but tracks like R U Mine? would be nothing without the syncopation courtesy of Matt Helders ;)

@latino7604 5 лет назад

It because MJ was all business when it comes to his songs and performance

@scottwhittle6319 5 лет назад

depends on what the music requires. this is pop... very much a formula... lay the back beat so the song can preform

@UltraCodex66 5 лет назад

Scott Whittle ye but just because it's pop it doesn't mean you can't have something more. Fills are obvious but I personally would, for example, try to use the whole note triplet divisions to create a back-beat. Check out Clocks, when Chris sings with that kind of beat underneath, it sounds like he's moving further

He literally drives the same standard beat through the whole bloody song. Now compare that to Philippe Boucher or John Longstreth or George Kollias or Hannes Großmann or or or. Pop music fans are just easy to impress because their brains are set for the same 4 chords over and over again and they will call everything genius that is not too complex for their simple minds.

Now I came to know why Michael Jackson's song excites people to dance because beast like him and many more were working with Michael Jackson that's why MJ songs were so exiciting and active.

I’ve always loved his drumming. Him and Ringo are my favorite drummers of all time!

Original drums on Beat It we played by Jeff Porcaro of Toto, RIP Jeff, one of the best ever.

Things I admire: 1) Your creative cymbal work 2) The simplicity of rhythm in such a iconic song But that one crash cymbal stand at your 10 o'clock position looked pretty tipsy. ;)

I agree @mrp123123123... The man used the cymbals next to his head for a quick open hi-hat... Incredible 1:25... I enjoy watching him play. Simple but effective.
