[Exceptional Drumming]
Talent
but you can go through life just being a Jack of all trades.
I want to be a master of all of them.
And I'll start with the drums cause I've been picking them up.
Um,
that's,
that's drumming.
But that's not drumming well.
I'm here, but the next level is kind of here.
And I need someone to find someone who's up here to kind of pull me up to there.
And then I'll pro ... I'll probably end up
'cos after that it's pretty much just networking.
So I needed a professional, and that's why I've got Matt Helders.
From the Kaiser Chiefs.
Arctic Monkeys
[Not bad drumming]
That's, that's really um.
Have you thought about taking this up as a professional ...
I mean it's more just a hobby to me.
Yeah
Do you know what I want to do is that ...
The main one I want to play
What's that one where you do like, hang on, how's it go?
It goes, um,
Hang on , do you know what I'm playing?.
but then I forgot where it goes, but then it goes
It's kind of ska isn't it.
Ah yeah!
but then see problem with that is just makes me want to go into like
and then you're just doing the Beatles and that's kind of,
Well, first of all, it's triplets.
It starts like this.
Yeah, yeah, it is you
So your accent's on the right and then the left.
And then what do you?
But really fast.
Yeah, all right, we'll get there.
To be honest a lot of your tracks would be better if they were slowed down a tiny bit
Then there's a bit, another sorta intro thing
From what I remember; it's been a whiIe since I played this one.
It's like
Oh yeah!
This is just going right with the bass
Oh! My god!
So the last snare is where the first kick used to be.
Just like a fill that I've extended a bit to err
you know, catch people out, I suppose
Alright. Yeah ok so
Trying to be clever when I was 17 that's what that is.
But this bit, I'll just make when we do it live I just make it up.
Do you?
I mean, within a certain parameter.
Something like that.
I don't know what's happening melodically on this part
That's alright I'll take care of that.
Oh right yeah.
I actually want to work out the actual key that's in.
I can't believe you don't know the key mate. I suppose you just.
You don't need to do you?
I mean. It's a bit ...
Is that necessary?
Bit aggro innit
Yeah around there
. That's it.
Whatever key that is.
It's f*****g E-flat.
Yep
Why is E-flat? That's really hard.
I mean
Capo. Capo.
Did you pick all this up like on the streets of Manchester?
Sheffield
Yeah whatever.
You know is that where you got all this from?
Uh, no, I wouldn't say the streets, but um, yeah, I mean I taught myself
I played to the extent of my skill.
And where, where'd you meet the rest of the kinds of the Kaiser Chiefs?
Er, that's .. I've never met the Kaiser Chiefs
You're the errr
You're the um
Arctic Monkeys
Arctic monkeys.
I'm not trying to to say that they're better, but you have that song about the riot van, right?
And the riot van comes up, roll up, rolls around, and then every, and then you all
Yeah
Up rolls the riot van.
And then you all are like, "Oh shit, we're surprised by the riot van."
You know and you have to run away and stuff
But then the Kaiser Chiefs ...
they predicted that riot
Ah
So I'm just saying.
