Yall need to get John Fred Young from Black Stone Cherry. He would be fun to watch on these.

The respect for the craft, fellow musicians, the genre, and past and future of drumming is so evident in these videos. I watch them from beginning to end smiling and having a blast.

Awesome! One of my fav channels and I don't know squat about drumming!

Ive loved this song for so long and haven't ever cone acriss anyone else ever talk about it much less the drumming. I was pumped to see this made it to the channel!!

I dig the ghost notes on the snare. It's almost like a train beat under the main beat.

When is Drumeo going to have someone learn a Buddy Rich tune like Big Swing Face or Love for Sale. That would be an awesome EP

this is a country song but gives me a dream theater / tool headache

As good as it is watching these dudes slay on tunes they don't know, the real spotlight should be on your engineer keeping every snare sound on f***ing point!!!

The production on this episode is different. I like it!
@ScottCStew

I'm not going to lie, I'd love to see you guys force someone to play some more unknown bands. Actually, it would be really crazy fun to see someone try and play Stein's Theme or The Spy Hunter by Project 86. Those are older songs, but the drums are pure chaos.

that snare sounds insanely good!

I‘m praying for „Alex Rüdinger hears xx for the first time“.
@Saskmunk
February 2, 2026 at 6:06 am
This might be tough but if you could get two drummers in at the same time and have them try each other’s song. Love your work. Thanks

Tony’s kit has one of the sexiest cymbal set-ups I’ve ever seen. Beautiful.

“[Insert drummer] hears Electric Callboy for the first time!” !!!!! Please

Loved this. Need more country on Drumeo. Though, the ghost notes sound very odd and kinda distracting.

Pretty cool, I know about Zac brown band and that they actually do rock songs for covers Like metallica etc. Would be cool to get Chris on here and let him fly 😎👌 love this channel and series ❤

Tony's groove is so deep and that's what gets you the BIG gigs…Nice Job not overplaying it!

Drumeo constantly reminds me that a lot of my favorite songs are my favorites because of an awesome drum track. I love that you pick all of these songs from different genres. Whether it's A7X, ZBB, Sum 41, Coheed, Paramore, Slipknot, etc. It's all about a badass drum part. Would love to see some Saosin at some point. Keep up the great work!!!!

These time sigs remind me of the great Dave Garabaldi. He arrived with WICKED inverted time sigs for Modern Drummer magazine in the late '70s…

Saw the thumbnail and thought of Pulley/Ten Foot Pole, didn't even know at all he was in Papa Roach, cool.

4:25 I always thought I was weird when I’d talk about this. I like throw a lot of extra beats into sections as a little extra flavor, and I’d count it as adding 3, or a “1.2.3.4.and” for adding a 5th beat. But trying to explain it to my drummer or other band members, and I’d sometimes get some blank looks, like I was speaking gibberish.
