How To Play Back In Black - The Drum Ninja

Watch Now

In this lesson we'll be learning how to play the rock classic Back In Black by AC/DC which appeared as the first track on side two of their 1980 album of the same name. The track peaked in the U.S. at No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1981 and was No. 51 on Billboard's Top Tracks chart, which debuted in March 1981. In 2009 It was named as the second greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1. Download the transcription at www.thedrumninja.com/drum-transcriptions Back In Black is quite a laid back rock tune but it packs a massive punch. It features one of the most recognizable guitar riffs ever written and Phil Rudd compliments this with a heavy eighth note rock groove played on dirty hi-hats. On the verses you'll find a straight ahead groove, eighth notes on the hi-hats, one and three on the bass drum, two and four on the snare drum. There is a broken sixteenth note fill (starting on beat two) on bars four and eight which you can pick up... more...

Drum & Bass is fast paced, syncopated and jam-packed with ghost notes. It's great fun to play and when you feel those heavy bass lines in your chest you just want to move. It really was made for drummers because we get to play for the song and show off our chops at the same time. More and more live musicians are getting drawn to this style because of the challenge and the freedom that it offers. Drummers like Jojo Mayer, Johnny Rabb and KJ Sawka are pushing the boundaries of what's possible on the drumset as well as what's possible with the genre. In this lesson I'll show you three more Drum & Bass grooves. Each is a two bar pattern, constant eighth notes on the hi-hats with variations on the bass drum and snare.  Exercises – Download the pdf at www.thedrumninja.com. You'll see six, two bar grooves, of which the first three are shown in the video (four times each). Set your metronome to 50bpm and try to play what's written. Take ... more...

In this lesson we'll be learning how to play American Idiot by Green Day which was released in September 2004 as the first single from their album of the same name. It peaked at #61 on the Billboard Hot 100, #3 in the UK Charts, #7 in Australia and #1 in Canada helping to put the band back on the map once again. Download the pdf at www.thedrumninja.com  American Idiot is a fast paced punk track which is full of energy and has some nice little twists and turns to keep you on your toes. Tre Cool drives the band primarily with a slushy eighth note hi-hat groove and syncopated bass drum pattern.  On the verses you'll find two bars of quarter notes played on the bass drum and punctuated by a crash/snare on beat four of the second bar. This leads into two bars of the groove, creating a four bar pattern that repeats itself.  The main eight note groove drives the chorus with crashes on the one of every second bar and a tasty little eighth note tom bre... more...

For today’s lesson we’re going to expand our rhythms for the kick drum in this groove setting. We’re still playing a steady flow of 16th notes phrased as Paradiddles with accents on beats 2 and 4. The idea is to download the PDF file that has 12 one bar patterns to practice playing on the kick drum. These rhythms are getting busier so it’s also a great workout for your kick drum as well. Enjoy!

7/8 Odd Time Drumming

Some of the greatest songs ever written in rock, prog, jazz and fusion are in odd-time signatures. The problem is, what sounds good on the ear doesn't always come natural to the body so playing them can be a bit of a challenge. It is, however, much scarier in theory than it is in reality and if you break it down then slow it down you'll be surprised at how quickly you get it.    In this lesson we'll have a go at drumming in 7/8. Out of all the odd-time signatures this one feels the most natural to most drummers so lets head over to the kit and get started: How To Count There are a couple of ways to count 7/8. You can count the obvious 'one two three four five six seven' or you can break the seven down into smaller cells 'one two one two one two three' ... 'one two three one two one two'.  Choose the method that you prefer and stick with it. Forget the notion that there is a best way to count and learn to feel the p... more...
