The drumming on the Tears For Fears song Everybody Wants To Rule The World is simply killer. It's one of the most requested drum beats I get asked to teach a drum lesson on. So here it is with several variations I've seen played live as well.

Hardest part about this song is nailing the fills and coming back to the groove.

@@djwiens to know where you are at in the measure is very important to come back smoothly after a fill.. hence those numbers found in the sheet music. The One happens to be where the kick drum first hits. It is a matter of counting for many people, personally I feel the groove and remember the parts without having to count usually. Sheet music could help you maintain a groove after your fills, Stephen has the music free for download. Cheers !

Chris Hughes programmed most of the drums on “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” They borrowed the snare drum sound from “Shout” and pitched it up. The hi-hat and shakers came from the LinnDrum. The kick drum sound came from the Fairlight CMI. Smith laid down a new bass line with the PPG Wave, and Orzabal and local session musician Neil Taylor laid down the electric and acoustic guitar parts.

So I don't really play drums, but I wrote a song that had a weird shuffle pattern, which drummers never wanna learn, so when I was recording the song, I had to play the drum part myself, and I realized it's almost exactly this beat, haha.

Stephen, thank you so much for breaking this number down, from the easiest way to the more difficult pattern. When the cover band I'm in decides who will be singing lead ~~ that's what will determine the pattern that I'll select to play............... I'm looking forward to more of your sessions.

Hey, Stephen. I just noticed you’ve finally reached 100k subscribers. Congrats, man. I hadn’t realized just how long I’ve been watching your vids. I couldn’t name a drum teacher more deserving. Keep it up and I hope the subs keep coming.

@cfauvel 5 жыл бұрын

I love these videos where someone actually explains what’s going on. Thanks for that. For the bass I alternate between 3 and 4 and for grace notes of the triplette I do it on high hat with two hands. My snare of 2 and 4 will be my right hand. I have mediocre electric set and grace notes on the snare either don’t pickup or they do pickup at same intensity as beats 2 and 4. I’m a copy cat, I don’t analyze what is really going on, just get it to where it sounds like the original ( to me).

@phildyson7188 3 ай бұрын

So helpful! I'm a 61 year old gigging drummer who's wanted to get my head around this for years. My favoured version is a variation of your fourth, only double single double single on the bass. It gives it the impetus at the start of the pattern and the missed second is hidden by the snare. Makes it doable for me. Thank you so much!

Nice lesson, thanks! Another method that I've seen is playing all the 8th note triplets on the hat, accenting the up beat, which should be the right hand which will also hit the snare on 2 & 4. Works well with 4 on the floor kick.

I've usually done it No.3 way, and it usually seems to have the most meat without cluttering it with the full shuffle of the kick.... What a band, what a tune...incidentally, I listened to Big Chair, sure, but I also listened to a LOT of Elemental. Gail Anne Dorsey on Break It Down Again ;) Big massive beats there, classy pop/rock that seems ...well, plain lost, these days... You know, our generation, we played to pop tapes so much, it really did help the pocket

My band is covering this song and since there won't be shakers going on, etc. I had already planned on just seeing which beat works best with the band. Stephen laid out that same sentiment. One of the first beats I learned around 1960 was just a swing beat with 4 on the floor and it would work fine without the shakers and stuff going on to supplement the beat. I like shuffling the bass drum and swinging on the hats with a few ghost notes on the snare.

My son loves TFF. I liked them but I wasn't THAT into them. I remember when this song came out and I would sit at my kit and try to play it. This was back in the 80's when the song came out. Low quality audio and iffy bins on your ears playing to what came on the radio. I ended up playing what you played around the 5:15 mark so I'm quite chuffed to know I was pretty much spot on.
