People covering this song struggle with those consecutive kicks so they use floor toms. When I tried covering this song it was difficult but I could make it... Now I can do it with my single chain pedal and also my DynaSync... It was a learning experience because I tried so hard....but in the end, it doesn't even matter.

No matter how many levels of drumming you think you can eke out of this song, it starts with 1

Dude, I can appreciate the honesty about multiple takes. You're a badass for telling it like it is.

Get Rob Bourdon on the channel. Playthroughs, first time listens and techniques

Honestly, Rob Bourden is incredibly underrated and super talented. I've seen a lot of Linkin Park live performances, and I don't think I've ever really seen him falter. Dude is a damn machines. And the way he took the midi drum tracks that Mike gave him and translated them to a real drum kit is amazing.

Bring Rob to drumeo… one of the most underrated drummers!

Rob Bourdon is such an underrated drummer!

Playing that groove with single pedal is definetly way more fun that playing it with a double pedal 🔥

I know acoustic drums have some advantages over electric. But the electric drums are so good these days, and can get multiple sounds, like guitar plugins, you can play different and loud sounds but other people barely hear them in other rooms. You can play them all night long without bothering anyone.

I've listened to this song countless times, and had no idea that kick pattern happened... I'm going to have to listen for it now

Do 5 Levels of Tom Sawyer or another Rush song- Neil Peart is unmatched

Fantastic! I love these "5 levels" videos! Seeing this makes me think even *I* could start playing drums again! :) Thanks for posting!

I was looking to buy an Electronic kit so I can play at home more, but having played only on acoustic kits for 16 years got me really hesitant. Hearing this kit might've finally pushed me over the edge.

What a classic song and a timeless sound from Linkin Park. Legends.

What a cool idea you've got here. Thanks for sharing. This shows new drummers the simple fact that yes, YOU CAN PLAY DRUMS, and it does not have to be exact. I'm 50 now. At 9 years old, it was a record player, headphones, and much frustration. We couldn't afford lessons, so I joined a band at 12 and learned in a band setting. I wish I had this back then.

I bought an Alesis Surge Mesh SE kit a few months ago with a Simmons DA50B 50watt drum amp/speaker and these 5 steppers are fun to watch. Been years since I played to where I knew what I was doing, so getting back into it again.

One of the greatest songs of all time massive lp fan

I’m between the 3/4. I’ve only been playing drums for almost 10 months. I play on an electric drum set. Thanks! Always love these types of videos 👍🏻

Rob actually plays only 1 and 1a (and the 3+) on the bass drum when playing this live - i.e., no 5 in a row, not even a double (at least during the verse). Both the recording and during the live performance Rob plays most of the e's and a's as snare ghost notes (I have the drums-only stem from the album recording uploaded on my channel if you are curious). I am not entirely certain, but I believe Rob does not even play the 5 consecutive notes on the album recording either - it's likely a sample added on top of the actual drum recording (LP is known for doing a lot of drum sampling on top of the recording, and Rob is known to not use a double-pedal).

I was thinking exactly about it today morning doing my workouts listening this song :) Great, thanks for sharing

Alright time to binge watch another series! Seriously this is great. I barely have any independence at all and I can play level 1. Also, this e-kit sounds really good. They've come a long way since my dad played in a church worship band on one. It sounds way more like real drums

Pretty cool how you showed 5 different levels to play on a single song.

Love this! Hoping to hit level 3.

I thought I was a level 5 I have been playing for about 45 . But I got to tell you this one got me. The five bass drum beat. Not 12345 but 1234 all the rest and then you at the 5 with the first four. Mind blowing.

Amazing vid man! Always wanted to learn this song how it was meant to play, but couldn't get it right, this helped alot!

Thanks for sharing all of the methods to play this song.

Great vid thanks. Always found him a strange drummer. Cliche but underated and def played the part really well. As did all members of the band.

Thank you Brandon!

these are great make more of these videos! thanks!

Beautiful breakdown, thanks. And I love that song and the album 🙌🏼

Traigan a Rob Bourdon al Canal!!!!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

Strange, I never thought of this as a complex song. I am now corrected. Good stuff!

Miss U Chester 😢🥺

Great..mr.brandon 🥁👍🔥

Awesome! Thank you very much❤👍🔥

yeah that kick pattern is challenging, nice man!!

One of my favorite instruments is the percussion, which is how I learned, "I'm your puppet." I could mimic, maybe, your footwork with the cow bell...😂😂😂 I like watching your instruction, great job.

Love this ❤❤❤❤

I heard an isolated drum track from this song recently that kind of blew my mind. There's actually quite a few ghost notes in there on the snare that I had never noticed in almost 25 years of loving this album.

Also playing on an e kit . Great to see it here❤

I got the same kit. Lets go Weekend Warriors 💪

Legendary song, legendary band

A Beautiful Song ✨

Hell yes! Finally!

Those successive kick drums in the verses of In The End are actually not played that way by Rob Bourdon. Mike Shinoda edited them in during the mixing/mastering process. Rob’s final drum take without those kicks added in can be heard on the unmastered final version here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdyphr2QtryqnmQ.html

It might seem like the drums in that song are the basic of basics but let's be honest for a moment -> Those five kicks are what make that song.

Im on level 6 already!

You are already moving Forward

Eu amo esse canal 🥁🇺🇲🇧🇷🤘

i use a double bass for it on my own. was interesting to learn from you :)

God damn it that made me emotional 😮🤘🏼⚡️🧡🔥 Chester is so terribly missed!

I really like these 5 Level videos. So for a tricky kick drum part like this, would direct drive or chain be a better choice?

Salut Drumeo ! Petit message de France : Oui je joue sur Kit electro car le bruit à Paris, tu sais... / which means : Hi from France ! I do play on an old Yamaha DTXpres III I know it's old but still does the job ! 'cause you know, noise in Paris man...

Nice electronic set. I have a set and world like to upgrade some day.

Would love to know what settings you used. Please do more on this kit. 👍

Bring Rob Bourdon to make some good videos with the man. He is an inspiration for many drummers.

Yes!!! Anything Linkin Park is always good 🥹🔥

I use two hats (one closed, one open for the barks) and a double pedal for consistency.

Good tutorial. For me personally it is easier on a dubble kick but not everyone has that set up hence maybe why the specific showing. Love the content

Thank you for this interesting video and you work in general! 😄 I was a bit surprise on this one, I always thought the Charleston was accentuated on off-beats (on the & of 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &, I don't know how you say in english) in the original song. Is it only me ?

Hopefully Rob Bourdon ( LP drummer) can also guest here. I really think he’s underrated

🇲🇨indonesian "we love U" drumeo🤘🏽🤘🏽

I put my trust, in you. Pushing (ed) as far I could go For all this, there's only one thing you should know is that I'll rock this song on a drum one day.

than you so much ❤

I would love to see you guys do a video breaking down how and why Rob Bourdon is a genius on the drums. And to get him on the channel itself, doing a playthrough of Linkin Park songs, a first time listen to a song, and attempt to play it in his own way. 11/10 video

The level four though is actually played at 2 strokes in the beginning. listen carefully during Live Aid 2005, Rock Am Ring 2001 and other performances. you can hear Rob playing that part differently than the recording itself.

I'll try today

Level 2 is AC/DC LOL You Shook me All Night Long (Verse)

I have a question. How do I set up my pedal the best for fast paced kicks? Should I set it very loose or should I set rather strict?

Rob Bourdon plays ghost notes in his performance too, which is obviously level 6

That's a very cool drumset, can anyone tell me what model is he using?

Rob Bourdon should join this channel.

I have never played drums in my entire life but I am dead sure you still have 2 more levels to go

Wish I had the space for a kit like that. Maybe the next place me and the other half moves too...

as a drummer since 1996, not regularly playing, and haven't played a kit in about a year... but an avid air-drummer!. I feel I have this on level 3 at least... and level 5 I know is attainable. I might be over-selling myself a bit, but with a bit of knocking the rust off, and practicing that 5 pattern on the kick, I can have this ready to go in no time! again... probably overselling myself a bit. LOL Next up.... Subdivisions by Rush... 5 levels. (LOL) that's a joke Brandon...

Man, i wish KZfaq was as it is now when I was "in a band", and learning the drums. It was from 2005- early 2009. And i haven't had a drum set in over 10 years now, but back in those days, while KZfaq existed, it wasn't anywhere near what it is now. I would have been a much better drummer if I had Drumeo back then. Instead, everything I did was self taught. And i did so much wrong, including how I held my sticks 😂😂.. My son (12, about to be 13) is having the experience i wish i would've had growing up. He plays percussion in Band in school. So he's been taught how to do things correctly, so one day when/if he decides he wants to play the drums, he won't be starting from scratch.

That's tuff

Can we use a double pedal on this specific kit?

Level 4 for me. I'm not smooth enough on the bass drum to make more than 2 consecutive hits. Also, e-drum represent with EFNOTE 7.

Somehow level 4 is for me more difficult than level 5. When I was learning 4/4 oscinatos on kick drum I was practicing 4 16th note kick already many times. That pattern is not that difficult but it requires a bit endurance. But level 4 is getting me around the independence issue and odd time zones. Still not too difficult but I need to practice that.

Slide 👌👏!!! 👋

Just curious would it have been easier to do 5 base kicks on the double base? Genuinely enough curious. Don’t do a lot of double base because I don’t have a double pedal…… sorry if the question seems stupid. I’m still stuck between level 2 and 3 overall…..

EXCELLENT SERIES! check out the Mandala V3 drum pads designed by Synesthesia and Danny Carey. Level 1 shud be called Rockband or wankstar lol

Learning this again with the double pedal was a cheat code.

What about a Deftones song? Around The Fur would be a nice one.

Please make a video about Bill bruford!!!! Please!!!

do "Break" by Three Days Grace!

Rob bourdon is so underrated

Where can I download music from?

5 levels of 7 nation army please!?

lol Alesis will be thankful for you.

You guys should do a genius episode of Rob bourdon

But Rob only played the level 5 in studio, he played level 4 instead on live performances, maybe because LP usually played this in the middle or near the end of the set. Still a great drummer tho, really tight but still groovy, love his beats on tracks like Little Things Give You Away, Final Masquerade, and Iridescent (that little ostinato tho, I haven't seen anyone covered it and played like Rob).

But that's the thing, rob doesn't play those 5 kicks everytime(it's like every other)still a cool groove and one of my favorite songs to jam on drums(the lock in is incredible 😎👌)i'm level 5 and i play it on my roland v drums(wish i could play my acoustic kit but where i live now i can't cuz of the noise, the rebiunds are so much better)still i love that i can still play drums almost everyday.

👍👍👍

This kinda emulates the programmed drums, which is cool, but Rob's actual drum part is very different, less bass drum and quite a lot of ghost notes on the snare

Level 5

Yall need to do 5 levels of slipknot

I play an electric set I built myself through different components and use a ddti trigger interface and a computer with cakewalk and I went to the converted brass practice cymbals, they feel great playing - I also use a full size bass and pedal, my goal is to be able to switch to an acoustic kit and it feel pretty close to the same - my hardest and most aggravating thing playing drums is mastering the bass pedal - I am going to see if drumeo has a video on that. Some people say tighten the springs up for quicker response some say loosen, and if I have it right I double tap when I don’t want to and if it’s loose it just feels like I’m stepping on wet concrete

leg cramps!
