This is a great song for beginning drummers and experienced drummers alike. I wanted to make a fun tutorial for my students of different levels to be able to watch the video and learn the song.

I break the video down into three different sections.

Section One - Learn the song by ear (You don't have to know how to read music)
Section Two - Learn the song with notation and counting
Section Three - Drum fill variation ideas
