'Feel Good Inc.' - Gorillaz - Drum Lesson
Im sorry, I bet you are a good drummer, but thats absolutely not how that song was played. Besides other things, even the drum fill in the intro is played wrong, not only because theres no crash cymbal in your version, but because the toms are not played like that. I know that even Ringo thinks he played like that, but he forgot. Its absolutely not what we hear in the isolated drum track. If you guys want to play that song like Ringo really did, David Montis performed an exact cover of that song.
If you’re referring to going floor Tom and then rack Tom instead of the more standard rack floor fill, I definitely feel and hear it being that way, and like it or not if Ringo says that’s how it goes that’s how it goes man!
Me thinketh that might be the way its played however., unless one improvises the whole song sounds........boring!@!?😉🤑😜
Might sound boring to the player, but that’s all the song needs! Remember music isn’t always about you but others, more importantly the listener and the overall
@ThomMillsDrums Exactly, the chef cooks for the diners not just what.......he enjoys eating!@!?😜
Every Tab I've looked at says that this song is 4/4 time. Listening to the song and watching this video, it seems definitely like 3/4 time. It's very well done, no doubt about it, but where's the extra beat?
It’s definitely all in 4, keep a constant foot tap and count 4, try not to let some of the pushes put you off keep it a solid count!
What are your toms and bass tuned to?
Sick! You should enter the iRock Drum Contest!
Nice job! I’m not familiar with that song, but it looks like it would be fun to play. 😍 Thanks for making this!
Glad you like it! Yeah it’s a banging tune and super interesting drum part drum lesson coming this week if you want to learn it!
C&C drums...Ludwig snare..sounded lovely. Great Ringo demonstration.
Thank you kindly!
Well done!! Alan Myers is one of my fave drummers
Fantastic drummer and track
Refreshing to see a drummer that doesn't mind mixing cymbal brands. You sound great!
Keep it hush hush 🤫 but no generally I’m a Sabian man, but there are so many great cymbals should always be about the sound and your sound you are going for first
Nice explanation! Thanks.
You're welcome!
Tune down a step for your singer ✅
i just love drum covers. the drums are such a beautiful instrument keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Three 7s and an 8. Now it makes sense. Thanks.
Awesomeness!
Great cover! Liked as always!
Very well done mate :) just played that myself today actually ahahaha pretty difficult in some parts but I think you nailed this :) especially the fast double bass drum kicks in the chorus before the crash+snare that lead into the next repeat if you know what i mean....everything done correctly :) 10/10 and also nice drum sounds
Thanks man, yeh it is a tricky customer, more difficult than it sounds. Yeah totally know the bit you mean hahah! And thanks for the score, probably a bit too generous tho ! Take care!
Awesome stuff; so helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
good video but as regards the sound recording: the level when you drum is ok but afterwards the micro is completely weak due to the AGC and so it takes time to hear your voice again with a good level. You can improve on that. Thanks anyway, it was good.
Thanks for this, yes I’m aware of this, it’s due to switching between the drum mics and a camera microphone. I need to leave more space after finishing playing before I start speaking, but thanks for the feedback I appreciate it!
Great work! Definitely the best drum cover of this banger on UA-cam. You look a bit like Hugh Dennis btw 🙂
Hahaha oh my gosh I do get that quite a bit 🤦
Yep, as others have mentioned, I’ve seen Ringo play this and this IS the way he played it. Tons of other YT’ers are doing it incorrectly.
Thanks 🤩 I always try to make my content as close to the original as possible
Haha everytime I try to play the solo I feel that I drag, 🤧 is it normal?
It does kinda change tempo so don’t worry too much, it’s sort free time doubt it was ever done to the grid!
Thank you for the tutorial, i can’t wait to show it to my friend
Oh wicked yes please do, and hopefully they find it useful too, take care!
Well done! I'm glad you didn't overplay and you kept Moe's style :))
Ah thanks yeh, that’s what I try to focus on, entering and learning that particular vibe for each song and not embellishing
Tnx this actually helps
Fantastic stuff!
Thats a recording custom? With out full lugs?
Yes it is a RC, just a year or so before it was called a recording custom, but exactly the same kit. They only added the full length lengths and called it a recording custom. It’s a 1978 model think in 79/80 was started called a RC. Got it for a great price too, fantastic kit!
@ThomMillsDrums so its a 9000? Recording custom drums have power lugs. Meaning the lug goes across the whole drum.
@@lanceschultz7132 yep as I say it’s a 9000 recording custom only difference is the full length lugs
More recent videos isolating the original drums will clarify the kick pattern more accurately. Otherwise I think he's got it.
🤘👍🤘
Excelente!
Ah thanks man!
thanks man can't wait to play it!
Have fun!
I only got In bloom, immigrant song, message in a bottle, song 2, and high and dry, lol
That’s decent!
Hey Thom ... I love your videos. I watch them all the time. Thanks for all you do! ... I have a request. (If you take those, haha). Can you break down the song Remedy by the Black Crowes in a lesson? I know there is a good bit going on in that song, but I would love to see a tutorial on that one, even if it's a simplified version.
Ok cool I can add it to my huge list!
Slowed down it almost sounds like oh what a night!
😂
Thanks. RIP my good friend Bobby Graham, who played the drums on the original Kinks single.
Legendary!
❤❤❤❤

Seems like this tutorial would be an easier thing to absorb if it were played with the soundtrack.
You can’t use any Beatles music on here unfortunately! I’m surprised you even allowed to mention them lol
Killed it!
Thanks a bunch! 🙏
Great! Thanks.
You're welcome!
Well, actually, if you're going to be a truest, the kick is on beat 1, on the & of two, and on beat 3. And he plays it consistently that way throughout the song. Watch some of his live video. Listen closely to the Studio version as well.
Thanks so much mate
No problem 👍
Thanks for laying it out there. I can sing while playing the guitar on it, but now my daughter wants me to play drums when her friends play there version of it.
Rock on!
Excelente 👌 👌 👌

Gracias - me ayudaste - thanks
Awesome tutorial!
Thank you!
Ahh, one of my favorites. I love how Phil Selway can both groove and rock out. Play jazzy, too. One of my favorites. Awesome as always 🍻
He’s a tru great!
Nice job Really done well !
Thanks a lot!
5/4 polyrhythm on the hi hat (with embellishments)?
Is it? I thought it was all in 4?
🙏
Oh wowzers super thanks for the super thanks it really means a lot, it really does I do these videos out of the joy of learning songs and music on the drums and also helping people to achieve their goals, and if I can help even in a small way I’m so grateful and happy so thank you from the bottom of my little heart ❤️
It's good to know that the ones I didn't get were songs I didn't know. I DID think that Tears for Fears was "The Way You Make Me Feel" by MJ. Pretty similar, yeah?
Yeah v similar actually!
@@ThomMillsDrums Which is funny because I have recently been playing Everybody on guitar. You think I wouldn't nailed that one. Ha.
