Hello Mike,
thank you for the great lessons. Your explanations are clear and easy to understand even for those who aren't native Englis speakers. Hope, you will continue in sending of secret lessons. Maybe you also can help us with the basics of jazz. I have been playing in a blues band for 15 years and started to be interested in jazz.
Many thanks and wish you many joyful hours by drumming.

"Incredible video, needed some new ideas for a new song, and Book 3 page 42 beat is fantastic for it, thanks Mike" I just realised they are all that page ha, well they were all really good, i've noted some down in my manuscript pad of ideas lol, thanks mike

i can see why it's hard to limit using Ghost Notes, it add so much to each beat. ahahah

Geat lesson Mike I loved it

Incredible video, needed some new ideas for a new song, and Book 3 page 42 beat is fantastic for it, thanks Mike

Hey thanks mike, this is just awesome

Hey that was excellant! picked up some cool ideas! what kind of metronome are you using in the vid? looks like a boss?
and what kind of ear buds do you use in practice or performance if any?
thanks!

where can i learn those techniques?

hand techniques and ETC?

im already a drum player,right now im learning how to play a double bass drum.what i cannot isolate is that may 2 feet keep comming together everytime i want to pedal my bass drum. is ther any solution to my problem.thanks more power

I use alot of ghost notes thanks for some extra beats

couldnt find a better teacher......

how come there was nothing about ghost notes in fills?

thanks Mike,lessons are very good I picked up few things.

Great ghost note lesson Mike, Thanks

Nise ghost notes, this is deffinently something I will use in the future :D Thanks Mike :D

Wonderfull!

Still have big problems with the striking the double, been practicing the hand (finger) technique, but im not patient enough ;-)
I just cant seem to get the stick to bounce twice... get a 3 or 4 bounce way to often...

Thanks for the great lesson!

Excellent video. Very rich an important lesson. Thank you Mike.

Enjoying the lessons, they're really helpfull, thanks.

thanks mike, this has really added to my library of beats, and was extremely helpful for a 13 year old like me who has only been playin the drums for a year

thanks alot mike the lessons are so fun
cheers

hey great lesson thank you mike.

Hi Mike, Great lesson on ghost notes, currently play an electric drum kit in a band that plays an electronic / Guitar / Indie Rock Style. Would love some tips on Hi Hat technique / grooves.

Thanks

Awesome! (: i got one request... is there a possibility of creating video on using your right leg on the bass drum? i realised my legs are abit weird in kicking the bass drum. i saw you using your leg differently, hope there will be some tips... God bless! (:

A great lesson indeed
Thanks a lot!

Hi Mike, I love your lessons- they re great!!!
Would be great if you would some exercises on tom riffs and fills!
Thanks !!

great lesson. thanx

I like that is great thank for this lesson

That was amazing! I want the new lesson now!! thanks

great lesson, looking foward on lessons to improve double stroke roll, I've been having trouble with that. Thanks

great ghost-note session

Great video, thanks. Can you give me a better understanding on something? While playing with a worship band in a Church one particular song was requiring me to hit more on what the band leader called the "back" of the beat, if that makes sense. They asked me to play a simple 2/ 4 with the snare coming in a hair late? Help. Thanks Mike

great video,i need some video about foot technic for the bass drum, thank you.

This is just a fantastic video! it sounds really very good. I´m gonna try it today ! thanks a lot mike!

great!

Love the ghost notes will give those a go. fairly new at drumming but have always loved the drums just never bought a set till now and I love it and your lessons are helping me tremendously. Thank you very much. Also trying to figure out what is the best way to hold the sticks and to get different beats with each.

Yep, I was with you till ya hit 7. I haven't played in over 12 years and whoa am I rusty. Love the lesson. Thanks for the refresh and a great exercise.

Great lesson Mike, thanks!

It is amazing ,thank you for your lessons Mike you Rock

Cool stuff Mike, I love the ghost notes so i'm pretty good at them ;)

Thanks Mike. I've always had a lazy left hand that threw in ghost notes all the time. I have worked on it but it's great to be reminded to put them in when and where you want them!

Hi mike,love your work,could you give us some more creative ideas on dubble stroke fill's around the toms. DEVAN

Mike - Thanks for the tips on ghost notes - it's always great to watch and hear a talented drummer, and you certainly are that - I've been playing for about 35 years with moderate success and satisfaction - self taught - never really concentrated on rudiments or exercises, I just played along with whatever I heard, mostly 70's Rock & Progressive bands - I'm not real satisfied with the speed of my left hand (snare) - is there any way to pick up speed without starting from scratch - I've tried different methods, but nothing seems to be helping - referring to your ghost notes lesson, I have pretty much 1 thru 7, but when you reach the speed of 8 thru 10, I seem to be lost - I have trouble with anything over double or triple bounces - Thanks for sharing your knowledge & abilities!with all of us

Hello!! Mike How are you?.
First of all, I want to thank you much for all these information you are giving to us, and let me tell you, it is very helpfull, for me, It is like I am a biggener drummer...I am learning so much of your videos.
I have some questions for you, I hope you can help me.
1- How can you tell what rithm you can play when there is new song and you don't have any music in writting for that song? I play in a group in church but sometimes, they came out with a new song and I need to know how am I going to playe the drums in that song, can you give me some advises?
Thxs ahead of time.
1- I need to know how to use some of the lessons you are giving us in a new song. I am hispanic, we play a lot of Tropical Litin music ( Salsa, Mergengue, Punta,, Cumbia, etc). But now I am also Playing in a group that singns in English, so in this case I Like to learn more how to play Rock Pop, Rock Funk, Alternative, and so on. They have the Notes for the guitar, piano and bass but not for the drums, what do I do in this case, I listen to the son and practice.
3- I have some songs that I like how the drums sound and I try to make the rithm myself but I cann't, because for me reading the music is easier the just listening to it, how can you help me about, I had a drum prefesor that I used to bring the song to him and he would write the notes for me. but he is no longer avaliable.
Please email me if is need it at LGODLOVESYOU@GMAIL.COM
I will apreciate you help so much.

4- Can you provide me with some videos on how to do solos, specially at the end of the songs, to end it.?

thanks man great exercises.. ill take them to my kit right away :))

very good thanks

wow,that's been one of the most ducational videos ive ever seen , the ghost notes really spice things up thanks mike for that great lesson, i' m already trying this ghost notes on my kit

very interesting educational tnx!

Fun beats. Good lesson.

Great stuff! I love it.

Can you tell me were to find your DvD .

Thank you
mike

thanks for the great lesson, mike !

Great lesson!!
there was very nice bits on your video!
You should tell them to play ghosts with suffle.Its really nice and maybe more complex..

Thanks a lot. it was great lesson.

Regards,

Kamelia

Great Video!
I didn't know who to play ghost notes right.
But now I know
Thank's

thanks for the lesson sir it was a nice lesson

Thanks Sir!!

this video lesson was a very great help. i now know where those "little-marching band" snare comes from in some of the music i listen to. you and your team help many people. more power!!!

Thanks Mike I've only been playing since January this helps me to understand where all that extra sound comes from when I listen to seasoned drummers.

Great video. Very helpful.

Also, this is immaterial, but I've actually played a gig at the Blue Note which is the shirt you were wearing...I just thought I would share. Thanks again for all of your hard work!

I'm able to play ghost notes, but I always asked myself how to use them more professional and which possibilities there are. Thank you so much for this video and the material below, it helps me very much to add some new beats to my play :)
Someday - that's my biggest wish - I want to be one of the best drummers on earth and make my life with that which I love most in this world: the drums.

my left hand is slow, can you give me an exercise that practice my left hand? please. by the way great video!

I thank you for taking time out of your day to teach.
I'm a drummer with good chops but low self confidence but just by looking at your lessons have been helping me convince myself that all the years of playing drums I know all of these things and now giving these things I've been playing names is giving what I have been doing for 40 odd years credibility,
I'm enjoying playing more then ever and could kick myself in the pants for not taking lessons forty five years ago, Thank You Mike and I also thank the creation of the WWW. for making it possible for You to be part of my learning growth!

this is a great video, thanks mike

thank you!... O_o

thanks! what you do is great. showin 4 camera angles, notes, that blue pointer and beat counter.. It's like the drum lessons of the future :)

Hey Mike,

first off i would like to thank you for these free video lessons they are quite beneficial

My origional Drum Teacher told me that a ghost note does not always have to be soft. as long as it is softer than the initial strike.

is this true?

Ya i'm having problems keeping my left arm going as fast as my right on the double paradiddle, can you help plz?

can you help me to make my left hand go as fast as my right hand?. i practice with paradiddles...

thanks! what you do is great. showin 4 camera angles, notes, that blue pointer and beat counter.. It's like the drum lessons of the future :)

thank you!...

Thanks for the lesson it really helps but i cant seem to make my left hand go as fast as me right plz help cheers

Its nice to watch somebody who knows what he is doing,and teaching

Thanks Mike. You're very informative and easy to understand. I switched from traditional to match grip after many years of playing, how can I get my left hand up to speed with the right?

hi, Mike i don,t understant notes can u learn me? and tanks for the lessons

Great stuff!!!! Please keep it going, I'm learning a BUNCH!!!

you're a great teacher, Mike!

Спасибо!

evolutive way of praticing is very cool... learns me to be sure to be able to make the bet, and then faster
Keep goin Mike

on the sheet music " Gone too Long" can you explain 2 ar outro with retard--- am I correct in thinking this means repeat the last bar twice but gradually slowing down.....and not --go to the bar for a drink with a person with low mental capability.

Hello Mike, I want to say that I have the Drumming system by Jared Falk got it like 2 years ago, came with the molar method by you and I just gotta say I wish this entire package was just you. Jared does a good job but i find you more informative and a much stronger player. Keep up the routines glad i own the system just wish i had more stuff from you

I would like to know some more about left hand(weak) tips.

Mike,
Keep it coming ! Back out of retirement and playing out again after ten+ years. 51 and still learning.
Thankyou,
Killer "B"
p.s. Old dude website/ somebodyandthereallysomethings.com

I liked how there was a counter, bpm's displayed, the bar, the tracking line on the bar, and the metronome. Awesome.

hi mike is good,, los videos y la forma de esnseñar que tienes es exelente, las partituras buenisimas,,, exitos en todo lo que hagas espero algun dia tener tu nivel

interesante su forma de enseñar. Verdaderamente dinámica.´

Es claro a pesar de no utilizar el mismo idioma para comunicarnos, pues los ejemplos aclaran toda posible duda que me quede al escuchar sus comentarios, y dichos ejemplos son variados fortaleciendo varios aspectos de independencia, limpieza o claridad a la hora de tokar, estabilidad rítmica mediante el uso del metrónomo.

Mike & drumming system, considero que la calidad de producción de su trabajo en general es muy buena.

Felicitaciones por eso y exitos.

love your videos mike,it makes learning pretty easy.thanks

I am also interasted about speed technic

I really enjoy your lessons. They're great. Ghost notes surely will improve my drumming. Can you put some lessons with really exiting drum fills or drum intros/finishes. Also I'd like to learn more and more about bass drum independence. Thanks

thank you mike. for the ghost notes lesson.

Hello Mike,

Any technic to improve my speed,?

Hi Mike, Your teachings are great, I really appreciate them. This is the first time I ever heard of the ghost note.

Thanks

The best ghost notes lesson I've ever seen!
Thanks a lot!

thanks mike, exellent video, helpe alot.

I like you always wondered what it was and now I know (Ghost Notes). Thanks I am thankful that there are still people like you willing to help us drummers.

Nice job on this awsome video about learning ghost notes. I still don't know what to use, the middle or edge of the snare drum? Also i still am working on other things before i go onto this because i'm nine years old.

Excellent! I've been teaching that for years. I believe your video makes it much clearer than my own teaching. Wish I would could have had this 50 years ago!

... Job well Done Mike and crew, saving it for the furture ... Iam a newbee and is still working on all the basic stuff ... Its very cool to learn this stuff the right way from the start ...
... keep up the good work ... and if you ever come to Denmark, Beers on me !

Thanks Mike! these ghost notes will help me a lot!

Mike, thanks for such a helpful video with such a variety of beats. This gives me plenty to keep myself busy untill my next video lesson. Look foward to more.

Thanks. I've been doing ghost notes for many years and have developed some great driving beats that incorporates them. I never knew what they were called. Thanks for your practical teachings...they are a great compliment to any drummer regardless of their skill level.

it's a great lesson! THX

thanks
these were good to learn, thanks a million.

Very Nice! Nice exercises to practise! :)

i wanna thank you for sending a video with such a variety of ghost beats ...... it wil surely help to practise and consolidate ghost beats in our minds and wil let us have a good hold over them from now on.....
looking forward to more n more videos like this.....thank you!!!!

Wow!!awesome!!love this video...greats!!u giv me another way to approve my skill & lesson...speechless to say that you make a good job mike!hope u can giv other lesson & skill... ;p

this just keeps geting better.thank you.

Excellent exercise in reading and playing Ghost notes.

Very nice lesson, usefull for those who don't recognise ghost notes...now they can leran to do that :)

Fantastic i was looking for some ghost notes examples because i simply did not have any ideas to use them ,i just love the example #10,i did not hear often enough a beat that starts with the snare drum and it`s quite interesting.
If you could throw on a video on speed and technique tips for the bass drum that would be great, thanks.

Great job! And I also would like to thank the guy who prepares the vids to look like this. Its really cool to see four screens and sheet music too.

Hi Mike,
Greetings from Germany, Super!

hello Mike thank you for giving me a new examples and I like to ask how can we play in comfortable way 13/16 grove

Nice Vid!

Hello I want to thank all of you for this great videolessons. I begun to play drums since 5 month's and I watch manny of your videos. Thank you!

does anybody know how a 6 /4 is played. need examples

hey thanks for these awesome videos
i've noticed on a few of your videos that the skin on your bass drum looks very saggy and flexy, is this just a different type of skin? does it create a better/different sound?
cheers

Hello Mike, I thank u and your collegues for creating such educational videos. I'm a newbie drummer and I'd like to ask u if there are some tips for long-lasting drumming? I want to know how to stay relaxed and play for a long time without getting tired.
Best wishes

Good stuff, Mike. Like the ghost technique!
By the way, do you have any pointers on how to play polyrhythms? I can just about play a 6 with one hand and a 4 with the other. Apart from that... not too much success. Any help would be great.

Cheers

Hi Mike, I am a 50y old self taught drummer & have been drumming (purely for pleasure & perhaps frustration management) for a couple of years. I have had access to this site for a while now & wanted to say I think you all do a fantastic job. Your video's & info are concise & well exampled (& so easy to follow). Keep up the good work. Also I have looked at your double base video's (having recently aquired one) do you have any other hints on pedal postioning or technique? (I am struggling somewhat at the moment with being able to drum around my kit whilst maintaining a consistant tempo with both feet)
Cheers
Peter

Thanks for lesson Mike yu'are great!I like your ghost note technique,it's cool specially in double ghost notes.I'm waiting for other lessons.

Tanks for the lesson

have never thought that they should play that way
I use it often, so now I'm aware the next time I play

Mike this is EXACTLY what i was looking for : Ghost note No.9 i have been wondering how to practice them for ages - im self taught so figuring out techniques on my own THANK YOU SO MUCH MIKE!!!

Ps: How do you get more speed out of your singles - i've heard that you should play singles on pillows or something with no rebound if you know what i mean?I always practice with a Metronome while on my practice pad -BUT THANKS SO MUCH GUY!!!!

This is great - thanks for the lesson. I can't wait for "The drumming System" to be released.

that was a bunch of nice lessons sir! an addition to my drumming library! thanks! keep it up!

I'm going to get so much [beep] because of you (I Hope). Thank you Mike!

oh god what a great lesson, it's clear and easy to follow,

thaks alot Mike and god bless u .

I like your teaching, Mike! You are consistent and accurate in your playing. Easy to follow along. Thanks!

I found this lesson, very basic, Im hoping I will get cd's and a more advanced, solo lesson

Hey man this is great and you are great too, it helps me al lot... Could you post videos with some coordination tehniques for both,hands and feet please....

Horsome!!!! loved a lot & thanx.

Mike - Nice work on presenting a variety of ghost options...
how' 'bout some more basic rock beats with fills thrown in using various rudiments. There seems to be a shortage of presentational stuff - unless it is at blinding speed.
(I love to ghost with syncopated accents....Jim Gordon comes to mind)
Keep 'em coming dude!
Ken

These ghoast notes are simply "ghoastly" amazing!
I just love them; they are of great help!
Thanks, Mike!

Mike,
Awesome of you to share your knowledge. How can I improve my left (weak) hand to make me a better player?

Great video mike, cheers for the work. You're helping to inspire me to work with different things, and your Drum scheduler is working wonders for my drumming.

Thanks again.

thank for your usefull video i appreciate.
i just have question could you help me to improve my left hand please.
my left hand is not fast as my right hand .
if you can show me a way to practice on my left hand please
thank you.
my email addresse is majid_mhd2005@yahoo.com

dude this really helps....txz alot.... I hope that u cud post vids on how to use the rudiments in a various beats.

txz

mike.great stuff.how could I get more volume out of my kick drum.

I'm impressed in general with the content from the emails. Great video; I'm a very green beginner at this point, but it conveyed the concepts well. Thanks again!

Great! can't wait to have a drum set ); lol

Great video, I'm constantly impressed with this site and how clearly these vids communicate these fundamentals.

Hey, I noticed the sheet music says "DVD 12". Does that mean there are actually 12 DVDs in the Drumming System?! Wow

When is it going to be available? Will I find it in my local drum store? I hope you can answer my questions! :)

hola gracias por el video esta buenisimo, solo que no hablo ingles, lo que estas diciendo no lo entiendo y me parese que tus esplicaciones son importantes, no tendras videos traducidos al español para bajarlos, disculpa la exigencia no lo veas de esa manera pero quiero aprencer a tocar bien, gracias

Spreading musical knowlege is a noble worthy cause and to do it for no profit is almost saintly.

Keep on ROCKIN!

Keep on ROCKIN!

I play some of these beats, drummers like "John Bonham" were infamous at this style!....Great stuff!

Mike, working on getting back to basics. I was an active drum player in high school band, and played a little jazz; so now 30 years later at age 50, I have been searching for a program that fits my needs, your drumming system is what I am looking for.

Thanks, Tony

I found myself in the same situation, and adding too many ghost notes into most of my playing. A very hard habit to break

too kool THANKS !

do u have play along for 32 fill hold measure

I've been playing for years as weel and I'm learning SHUFFLES and double base

Mike,

Great stuff!
You gave me some more to think about.
Thank you.

That's great drumming, thanks

the world of music is very expensive today... thank you guys!!

Hey mike
I've been playing for some years, and it`s good to get back to the basics

Great lessons man!
Keep goig like thata!

tomorrow is my B-DAY

So for i had played many solo's i'm not satisfied with that.Even though i had studied about Mr.jared falks how to construct a solo and it's a story telling and all.I still want to play a good solo sir.What to do.

excellent, and very applicable to playing essential grooves...keep up the good work

Hi Mike,

Now I know what I was doing before. I wasn't playing soft enough in a basic hip-hop pattern. This should be easier for me now. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you Mr. Michalkow, I eagerly await your next installment...

o mike,,,also i make home made snares from wood ,,,croatian wood..go to my facebook profile,,,željko domitrović..this year i will have prezentacion in grožnjan ,,,its meating petar ćurić and simon philips....be in contakt for bether sound in this crazy sound world..bok.

its nice to see this basic things again and vorked on them more and more...thanks,,,ćaos from croatia..

the video presentation is very well done. I like the Mike Clark-ish stuff. Oh and to Marc from california, check out Bill Evans' "Intuition" it is just piano and bass, perfect for drumming along to, probably one of the best of its kind.

Thanks Mike these are Great! Everyone and myself included really appreciate all that you are sharing. When you first mentioned "groove" in your practice generator I was a little confused exactly what you meant. I get it now. I have been using ghost notes but these additional beats are great. Thanks again.

the video presentation is very well done. I like the Mike Clark-ish stuff.

Is it possible to get a few more or different music tracks maybe a jazz groove minus drums? Thanks for everything you have given me. I don't mean to be greedy but I could sure use a couple more different play along riffs if it's ok. "?"
Respectfully.....

Just great to find accomplished drummers willing to do this for us (sometimes experienced but not technical) gigging drummers.

Thanks Mike, ghost notes are awesome! thanks again for the tips ....very helpful.

Waro Boss.
Nifty left hand 'ghosting', and great co-ordination between left hand and right kicker.
Not so easy for us weak left-handers and readers though.
Thanks for your useful, clever and well-presented demo's.
Keep going.

i thinks the last 4 grooves are amazing, and sound very advanced...thank you

mike that was amazing you are an amazing drummer it helped me a lot so im gunna practice them all day today for four n a half hours

Thanks, Mike. I like those beats quite a bit. When I'm messing around a bit on my kit, I some times end up doing some of those beats. I think it was number six or five that I really thought was cool. I have to go back and look just to make sure. Thanks again.

SG

Thanks Mike for the lessons some of which are quite difficult in skill level to what i used to. they are groovy all the same.

how can i make a drum solo because there is a play at my school and i want to play a drum solo

I'm new on here and am enjoying the tips. I will be teaching my students ghosting this week.Thankyou for the advice on not using ghosting too much.

Love what I have seen so far! One set back,I fractured my right wrist in 3 places 10 days ago and wont be able to play the kit at least with all 4 limbs for another 6 weeks minimum. I wonder if theres any thing that I can do to strengthen my wrist besides the physical therapy they will give me. By the way Iam a right handed intermediate drummer that really enjoys the whole Jared Falk website!!

Very cool and helpful.Great practice material. Thanks very much!!!!

my favorite groove is a half time shuffle of bernard purdy used by jeff porcaro in "mother" and "rossana" and john bonham´s fool in the rain
i love this rithm
thanks
good luck
bye

That's a good lesson, i like it so much. It's easy to catch up for me ^^. thanks .

Thanks mike i will be teaching this to my students this week very helpfull,thankyou,ian.

thank you very much for thsese lessons!!!....I like them realy because they are free and very good!!!!...thanks!!

I enjoyed your more advanced lesson 8-10. This is something I can add to my bag!

Brilliant video. Thanks for putting this up

I agree with the end note entirely.

hi Mike

it sounds very nice!.. but my only question about it is, maybe you can help me a bit with these ghost notes.
I dont get my left hand that fast at the snaredrum
I also watched your video about the sticks and that worked a bit, but I dont know what the best practice is, for this problem.

Good lesson, thanks, is difficult coordinate rithm with ghost notes, Está bastante bien explicado, habrá que practicarlo mucho, y reitero la pregunta anterior, en que estilos usas más las notas fantasmas?, supongo que en blues...Un saludo

I have a question, what style of music do you use ghost notes with the most? Is there a certain time or style I should always use them then sometimes not? It would be nice to have some music to practice these beats with.

I got one question! How did you manage to get all that fancy stuff on the video to make the beats so easy!?

This is amazing. I printed out the PDF and will be practicing this stuff tonight.

Wow the camera angles and onscreen stuff really makes this amazingly awesome and I also like the two different speeds to help me get a better idea of how it sounds in different contexts! THANK YOU MIKE!

Wow, these beats sound great. Thank you for putting in the time to create this awesome website!!

Another great lesson Mike! Thank you for posting this for me.
