Demo of the drum part from this song, as found in the 2018 Rockschool Grade 6 syllabus.
Rockschool Grade books are available here, via my Amazon shop: [ Ссылка ]
These videos are recorded as a reference to help students to prepare for their exams, and I do my best to play the part accurately as possible to the written score. What I’m playing here in the “develop” sections is my own improv I made up on the spot, and is just an example of the sort of thing I’d play here. Please create your own variations and don’t copy mine. The “Walkthrough” performance notes provided in the book tell the drummer to add their own ghost notes and embellishments to the written part in the style of Harvey Mason, so I have done so :)
Please note, the drum parts and song arrangements in Rockschool Grades can differ from the original version of the songs. This one is a good example of that, it’s its own arrangement and not a direct copy of the Herbie Hancock original. Thanks for watching and please let me know if any questions, cheers! Mike :)

Mike Barnes Drums Amazon Shop
I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend. It doesn’t cost any more to buy from this store than it does from regular Amazon, but you’d be supporting this channel by doing so, which would be very much appreciated!:
