How To Play A Hardcore Punk Groove on Drum Set

In this video we will learn a Hardcore Punk Groove on Drum Kit. This groove is used by bands like Descendants, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, and Pennywise. I will show you the basic groove, how to break it down, and provide some suggestions to make it sound amazing! Plus, I’ll break down the bass drum technique needed to play the groove.

AKA “the forbidden beat” because non punk musicians absolutely hate it 😂

Also common in metal drumming! The variations on this are endless and give you the punk/hardcore/metal building blocks!

I'm not a drummer but I really love that drumset! That's really the only reason I clicked on this video. I love simplicity!

Snare, kick and hi hat sounds awesome

Gad DAAMN! watched bunch of dbeat tutorials and this one is the most clear and easy to understand! Played it right away after watching! <3

Subscribed. ADD as shit, not at all what I was looking for, but absolutely an amazing resource to have handy. Thanks!!

It’s getting the heel toe and using the tip/shank methods that takes time when you are at speed….trust me. I just spent the last 4 years teaching myself to be a punk drummer…there can be shortcuts tbf oh ok he uses the slide technique or the tap dancer as I shall now call it! Ha

Let's be real - that intro fill goes beyond what 99% of HC punk drummers were capable of :D

[bhaveshsolanki]

Excellent lesson, I just can't get it fast and I have tried it with that slide technique sucks as i love all those skate punk bands

[atomicdruid]

Nice instructional. How about a d-beat instructional next?

[bulletprooftiger]

Question! This is awesome, but how do you play so fast? My hands can't keep up. I can only play as fast as 3:08. How do you play as fast as 3:14? Do you use the shank technique on the hi hat? How do you practice this? I'm such a novice I don't even know if I'm making sense lol

This question is odd, but I like your shoes. What kind are they?

[sideshow]

Nice thanks! How do you play that tasty opening lead in fill???

[Dyslexicore]

I just got a kit I love this genre will the bass drum technique require good ankle movement I have a prosthetic foot but I want to be able to move up this speed

[wholehoarse]

Swear to god i was playing Punk-O-Matic on newgrounds for a moment

[mghc]

It’s called the cash beat for punk rock

[jasoncoffmanandhunterjimmithy]

Are you doing Mueller technique on high hats? Or just downstrokes?

[DoctaChud]

when I hear this groove slow all I think of is My Sharona.

1:25 Open-face? Are we talking drums or sandwiches?

To light handed for my preferred Hardcore, many think its just about speed, but hey, musicians are the worst for opinions huh.
