How to play the Herta - Advanced Drum Rudiment

For a moment I thought you were covering Meshuggah.

Worked beautifully. In minutes. Thanks🎉

Way easier to hear and play in cut time

This made it so easy, thanks

This is definitely Billy Cobham style but, he does it with his hands where Tomas Haake does it with his feet….😳

I used the herta in a bass drum pattern during a song my band recorded 10 years ago and just now learned that I played hertas incorrectly. This should make it easier to play. Thanks!

Expected to hear bleed by Meshuggah.. heard Bow down by BOO instead lol

Bleed by Meshuggah

Can you show us this as Neil Peart plays it?

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAMS OF FIRE SWEEP THROUGH MY HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAD!!!

I look at this as a triplet but on the accent stroke do a double stroke.

Love this! I've got a question, is it important to honour the accent on the first stroke of the pattern? I don't hear much, if any, dynamic difference in your rendition of the exercise and I'm left wondering whether it's best to just try to make them sound as even as possible first before adding any accented notes...?

This video is so fire! Plus they give you a path to similar rudiments.

No Mute no Muffling your Drums just dead...................

Maybe some day I’ll be able to play hot for teacher

Dave Grohl plays the Herta throughout the Queens of the stoneage song “No one knows”
I guess Dave just figured it was about time someone paid homage to the Herta!

My mind was blown when I realised it was basically just a push pull which was the secret to the speed

Finally someone to explain this in a way I can understand!

I really appreciate the slow mo look at the hands, especially as someone who has had to stop taking in-person lessons

Alex Van Halen is annoying for sounding so good I am gonna put myself through this shit to copy him 🥲

“You might have to really work this one out, slowly, before it feels natural…”

😂 understatement of the century!!!

Very appreciated

I've been doing hertas in my brain since forever but instructions are somehow confusing, weird.

You just have a way of explaining things that makes it seem really simple. You deserve way more subs

i wanna play esoteric surgery by gojira on guitar, my brain can't focus on this well so i'm trying to understand the drum so maybe i can do it.

Excellent video — thanks!

BRRTA BRRTA BRRTA. xD

Excellent!

Beams of fire sweap through my head.

yes im here to (eventually) play Bleed, see ya in like, a year lmao

Wow, love how you explain the mechanics of it all

This is probably the best video I’ve found to understand the herta

Damn you're great at explaining things

Awesome video! It was new to me!!

Very nice!
