Monday Drumday: Are ya yellah?

I have been playing my drums some more over the last week, but I only attempted this Coldplay song today. I was looking at what was available on the Drumless channel and found this one, amongst the hundreds available. I am not a huge Coldplay fan, but I think their first album is good.

This time I did not try to play to the scrolling dots in the video as it did not seem quite right. I had some tab that went with this video from Stephen Taylor that seemed better, so I used that.

As I have only played this through a couple of times I was not going to get it spot on, but I think I did okay. The pattern on the chorus is a bit tricky and my bass drum was missing some beats. It is one I can keep working on. I want to build up a repertoire of a few songs I can play through.

Sorry about the audio quality on some of this. Something was distorting. I had the drums and my phone (playing the backing track) running through a mixer to record this. Someone mentioned they could not see my feet doing anything in a previous video, so I moved everything back so the camera could see more. I have been playing the bass drum without raising my heel, so my legs are prety static.

Rock on!
