    As someone who plays in a pop punk band, that dismissal of the punk beat really hurt
  • @TheAdamMalcolm
    Man I love videos like this, programming drums as a non drummer is like driving in the fog sometimes.
  • @mikeoz6643
    As a guitar player that has recently started trying to write my own songs, the drums are the one part I was most struggling with. Thank you for this list, it was exactly what I needed.
  • @lrgoncalves
    I'm a drummer for about 24 years and always used all these beats without even dreaming they were catalogued and had a name. Thanks for sharing!
  • @Cloud-wu7vl
    I think I just stumbled into a goldmine of videos, holy shit
  • @George-nx8zu
    Could you do a follow up of drum patterns for electronic genres? Breakbeat, House, Techno etc
  • @tss3393
    1st Songs That Come To Mind 0:29 The Way You Move-Outkast 1:05 DNA-Kendrick Lamar 1:42 Walking On Sunshine-Katrina & The Waves 2:40 Take On Me-A-Ha (if you add a kick) 3:17 Every high school metal fan in the 2000's 3:34 Californication-Red Hot Chili Peppers 4:16 I don't know why, but I feel like playing this with Gerudo Valley from Zelda would pair really nicely. 5:04 Luv(sic) Pt.2-Shing02 and Nujabes 5:55 Feel Good Inc.-Gorillaz (if you raise the tempo) 6:41 Of Space and Time-City & Colour 7:24 Howlin' For You-The Black Keys

    The punk beat is still relevant though. Pop punk is making a massive resurgence and basically everyone is doing songs with Travis Barker.

    I work with heavily disabled people and one woman really likes heavy beats. So I jam for her through the day. She's into hip hop and songs with the "dem bow" (min 4:19). I mimic drum patterns on the back of my guitar and she's headbanging, like she's on a metal stage. Thanks for the inspirations for private and work use from a non- drummer^^

    The Bo Diddley instantly made me sing "are you gonna be my girl" by Jet
  • @zaimusic_150
    You look like Charles Cornell from an alternate universe.
  • @danielo2752
    This video is a gem. You’re a God for putting the sequence patterns
  • @nickcormier
    These drum videos are some of the best on the internet for showing the beats so clearly, really dig them! make some more with diff types of beats!
  • @jennisonb37
    Great video. I really like how tight and effortless your drumming is. Showing the midi notes at the bottom was a nice bonus.
  • @enjoyenjoy5721
    This was so incredibly cool and fun. Thanks guys. I won a subscription once and LANDR was indeed great
  • Thank you so much for this video. Perfect explanation! I am studying eletronic music production and this helped me understand the classic drum patterns.
