3 Big Rock Endings - Drum Lesson

[pentzzsolt]

Literally nobody teaches this for some reason, yet, you literally need it every single time you go on stage. Thanks Mike, great idea and very usable patterns!

Thanks for this!!! I've been playing for almost 40 years and I gig regularly, but I still find myself falling into the same ruts with these endings. I've never been very comfortable with them. This helped a lot!

Audiences love these endings, and they don't HAVE to be that complicated or showy as some think. These are great examples, loving the new videos.

[rosslmccallum]

Awesome! Loving the flow of different shots, locations and edit so far. Lots of great personality / teaching really shining through in the video, Mike!

[diognardi]

Been watching your videos for years. As a music teacher myself now, you have taught me how to teach! Love your lesson ideas, and execution/personality 🙏🏻🎉

[perosa]

Man, where were you when I needed you (35 years ago 😆). The thing is you are inspiring me to get back on the kit and practice! Very cool stuff👍🏼

[DanMehta]

Can't forget that after the big ending crash, we must do DA GA Boom (Floor tom, Floor tom, bass drum) to signal the other musicians to cut off :)

[FredMinville]

Big rock endings! I love doing these live

[ArgenisAlbaD]

Those are basics but super important. Thanks for the vid!

[jean-paulrichard]

I always end up with a smile when watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

[Ashlord]

Great video! I play at church and I love doing these cuz they just bring the energy up. Now I have a few more I can practice. Thanks!

I’ve experienced nailing a song on stage, only to end with a …meh… kinda trashcan crappy ending and felt like it even ruined the entire song. All three of these are great! Very helpful. Thank you.

[barryhall]

Wow Mike, super timely video. Gig coming up in about 8 weeks - never practiced such things. Thanks. (plan to re-join MikesLessons soon...)

[CraigShawCraigShaw]

Trash can endings! Love 'em!! Great video.
Harry Miree did a great video on endings too.

[buckjohnson]

The audience typically does not remember the beginning of a song, they remember how it ended. LOL This is must learn stuff for the gigging drummer. I've heard many great songs turn to crap due to a loose ending as well as doing it myself!

Great call out on this one Mike!

Love the Mozart comment. Mike, you keep my 30 plus years from becoming jaded. I love your presentation and humour and your general bro’ ness. And all of your lessons are very fresh considering I’ve generally seen it all before. But you spin it a way that’s more fun. Thank you. I hope to meet you again one day. (Southampton was good) maybe a camp visit when time allows. 🙏

Thanks Mike- I never really put much thought into these, I usually end up doing some sort of descending single strokes on the toms that slow down, but this gives me something to shoot for at the next gig

[raymondstanner]

Played a gig last night, got the cymbal swells but ty Mike for these simple but soooo usable, versatile and easy licks/fills/endings

[MonzonMedia]

LMAO! Mozart saying " Gimme some!"

[mikeevangelista]

Always a crowd pleaser lol 🥁🔥 a few here n there then a nice big set ended
