I just started to watch his video yesterday and the other female teacher from the same site, i m already playing a song, picking up slowly but steadily. I m so happy. It is so fun to learn a new instrument. Never knew i can play drums. I used to play KB. Thanks Drumeo, you guys are great in teaching.

[lamecasuelas]

Brandon Is probably my favorite guy at drumeo. Kudos for not forgetting about the beginners

[prestonakin]

As a member of the beginner drummer population, your videos are the best help I've come across so far . Thank you so much

[thespacebee]

Great lesson guys made me remember watching these types of videos when I was starting out, great to see these videos helping people start drumming

[kgoody]

I love this I just bought a set of pearl drums used have no experience at all just turned 50 but always wanted to learn

[pc]

Great lesson, loved it. Great to be able to play along to some songs early on in my drumming journey. Makes the practicing worthwhile 😊

[cringgez]

Why am I here? I don't even have drums

[TheSateef]

i'd love to use drumeo but $20/month is too much for a retired guy like me that's just playing for fun. they should offer a discount to people over 60 or something.

[DavidOakesMusic]

Bryan Adams stuff is so easy but SUPER fun. " The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me " for example.

[chrisdarbyshire]

Great list!

When I first started playing drums, I learned CCR and Billy Squier. They both have many songs that are great for beginners.

[JeffoftheShout]

Great video! I also recommend, AC/DC - Back In Black for beginning drummers.

[innergenichiro]

My first full song i played was enter sandman by mettallica. I did back in black but never played it to the end cause my cover band moved on from that and we started playing more mettallica.

[joe_tipakuah]

Brandon you forgot to mention Like A Stone by Audioslave.It's also the best track for beginner drummers and the drums were absolutely simple.Btw well done Drumeo

[davidbalan]

Very good lessons for today's 🥁 happy New year's .

[michaelfaeth]

I think "Get Off of My Cloud" by the Rolling Stones is a fun song to work up to for beginners because of the cool snare parts in the beat. Beautiful Gretsch drum kit by the way!!

[emreensarimusic]

I teach my drum students these songs, since they are all beginners.. 1. Imagine Dragons - Believer 2. Michael Jackson - Billie Jean. 3. Europe - The Final Countdown 4. Queen - We Will Rock You. These are my top 4 songs. Great video Brandon! 💯🙌🎶❤️ Very informative

[Thatoneguy]

If youbplay on e-drums I recommend that you turn your tom three into a bass by selecting drum off then voice it really helped me out and it could help you to!
