The 2024 Chop Of Life - Drum Lesson
This isn't supposed to be YOUR chop of life, nor is it really RUclips's Chop of Life. Hell, there is no "Chop Of Life" because chops and licks always take a backseat to groove, feel, pocket, and appropriate playing. That being said, when you're bored of your own playing, ya feel like you play the same thing over and over; adding a new chop to your playing can give new life to your playing and your enjoyment of the kit. So, this is MY 2024 Chop Of Life because I get super excited to sit down on the kit and discover new and hopefully tasteful ways to use it. That being said... the link for my metronome is below, LOL 🍵🙏🍵🙏

I hope you enjoy this drum lesson, and I hope it inspires you to try shifting the gears of your favorite patterns. Thanks for watchi...

This drum groove is definitely on the advanced side. There are hi-hat accents, left-foot chicks, snare ghost notes, and accents. That being said, I think this would be a fun challenge for any intermediate drummer to tackle. Just be patient with yourself and tackle it one note at a time - Mike J ►Notation for this lesson: gscribe.com/share/zxZrpyT8Q8NdTM8AA ►Visit Mikeslessons.com: bit.ly/online...

Learn the Truth About Your Snare with a Buzz Roll
Cool fill Mike 😊
Nice exercise. I fell off at 90bpm. Ah well.
“I’m not a drum collector” Has 50 snares 😂😂😂
Hi Mike! Beautiful drumming! Starting at 0:21 and specially at 0:34 is that the ECM/straight eights jazz/broken time feel? I’ve seen a lot of that style in your videos and would love to play that style. Any recommendations to develop it? Hope you can do a video or course on that style!
Is it literally just speeding up or slowing down the same beat? So the triplets become your new 8th notes or whatever, so that means the tempo difference of 75%, right?
Maybe i dont need all that sauce at the end... just maybe. But im still all for it ! :D
It only took me 10 years since it release to own one ! love it to bits
I’ve never seen a more positive comments section lol people absolutely love this guy
Great lesson. Thank you.
Awesome lesson. Thanks dude
Mike, awesome finger technique. Maybe some day touch on the 6 stroke roll.
Nice . Got to subscribe .
Nice groove...
LOL...Yea..Just Practice..Awesome
Forget the tuning, I’ve known this for a while but that make your stick a mallet trick though🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The process of tuning a snare drum makes me loose my mind lol
Amazing lesson and your drums sound BEAUTIFUL…warm and deep!!🤘🏻❤️🥁
That was a feel good story we need more of in this crazy world. Also I have decided to finally at 55 to get my first high end ( and first ever) Gretsch kit! I was torn for weeks trying to decide which series and configuration I wanted. ( they are all so good). But this clip made the decision for me. The Blue Glass Broadkaster in those sizes you mentioned. That clip at the end of playing your new kit was the seal of approval!
Awesome very cool drum fills
Very Nice...Thank You..
thank you!
👌
Lmao my foot just freezes up i dont think my shin is capable of this motion
06:45 i had a loud laugh from no were
I think you will have much fun and get inspiration with piece of art: 2 Beatboxer & Rhythm Play ruclips.net/video/zpwHYFqjDA0/видео.html
Sometimes I find videos like this really encouraging and really defeating, the dichotomy is complex. I'm a begginer, trying to become self taught as that is my only option (unfortunately), and I appreciate that I can try to deveop a skill and see that it is possible. My problem may be that I'm not patient enough with myself or too preoccupied "copying" talented people, instead of finding my groove, so it was nice to see a part if you that I relate to. So, thank you? I hope I get there. ✌️
Thank you. Please tell me what your three symbols are. You have helped my drumming tremendously over the years.
Phil number three sounds better as a groove
Mikey what I do, those negative comments, I reply to them to them and I basically say, to them that it's too bad they couldn't find any joy out of the video....
Worse, mine always sound worse
Mersi great staf
About time for a new video man!
Boom ,I did it with you . 🎉
Whts the difference between metric modulation and polyrhythms?
How many Tudor Chronos you got bro :D - Great videos thank you man
i don't know if it's because of the material itself but i just can't get my toms to sound good whatever i do they always have that goofy sound
same we cooked
The DW Birch did it for me
It would sound cool at a lower pitch.
What app is that huge numbers metronome?
Nice drum look,sound sweet too!
Schopenhauer practices can be fun and reveal a lot
In Jarrod Gipson’s voice: “Oh my God, sauce bro”! 😂🔥🥁
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video! Thanks for sharing
It sounds sooo good! Those toms!!
I think you find your true "voice" when one day you are playing and it feels fun again like when you first played a drum. Drums isn't about mastering rudiment upon rudiment and gluing them together, more it's about becoming seemless, expressive and, ultimately free... That feeling you had when you first sat down at the kit. (Before "influences") There's an interview of Vinnie Colaiuta talking about the moment he stopped chasing influences and starting defining his own sound... It touched me, cuz we don't always talk about this with each other as drummers.
Great
Hi hat sound and ride with a chain pleases the ear.❤❤❤❤❤
WHY don't you try this with one foot like I play it instead of both?
I’m not sure what you’re asking Jeff . I am playing with 1 foot. I only use a single pedal.
I come to Mike Johnston when I wanna learn some new fills. When I commit them to muscle memory I can pull them out of my bag whenever I need to. I'm happy to say they've changed the way I play for the better.
