In this lesson we'll be learning how to play I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by the Arctic Monkeys which was the bands first single, released on 17 October 2005. The track debuted at #1 on the UK Singles Chart, won Best Track at the 2006 NME Awards and was also a hit in the United States, hitting #7 on the US Modern Rock Charts. Matt Helders wrote a dynamite drum part for I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor that's had a lot of drummers scratching their heads since the song came out. This up-tempo indie-rock track has some tricky little passages and a whole lot of energy.  Intro The intro of the track is probably the most challenging part with rapid sixteenths on the snare dotted between a 1/4 note groove that follows the guitar riff. There is an extra bass drum note on the second four bars of the intro so follow the chart on your first few run-through's. Verse The verse groove i... more...

In this lesson we'll be learning how to play Cochise by Audioslave which was the first single from the band's self-titled debut release (2002). The track peaked at #69 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, # 9 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks and #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.  Cochise is a mid-tempo rock track that embodies drummer Brad Wilk's heavy duty playing. He sets the tone right from the outset and stamps the track with his signature style and power.  Intro The intro of the track has an almost tribal feel with a spacious tom groove that overlays the guitar effects. This creates a load of tension that is built upon with a flammed backbeat half way through.  Verse The verse groove is a heavy 8th note ride pattern and backbeat with the bass drum landing on 'one', the 'a' of two and the 'and' of three. It may see... more...

In this lesson we'll be learning how to play Mountains by Biffy Clyro which is the band's highest charting single to date, peaking at #5 on the UK singles chart. Originally released on August 18, 2008 as a 'non-album' single, it was later included on the band's fifth studio album, Only Revolutions. Mountains is a great example of drummer, Ben Johnston's powerful and energetic playing. He drives the track with an eighth-note rock feel and breaks up the different sections of the song by switching between the hi-hats, ride and crash. Verse On the verse you will notice a bar of 4/4 followed by a bar of 7/8. The first few times you hear this it can be a bit confusing but follow along with the transcription and all will become clear.  Chorus During the chorus Ben plays a heavy eighth-note groove on the crash to give it that massive sound. The snare changes from a two and four backbeat to the three... more...
