How To Play The Big "Herta" Drum Fill From "No One Knows" by Queens Of The Stone Age

Great video. I always think of the Herta as just being "Very fast slow" 3 beats each of the "Very fast" syllables then one for the "slow" beat.

Im struggling with this fill! Would you recommend practicing the song at slower tempos and then working my way up to the original?

Brilliant Mike, love your videos!!!!

Hard to get it up to speed and clean

c'mon

Beware of Mr. Barnes.

The song that made the Herta famous was like 15 years earlier on Van Halens Hot for Teacher in 1984 and there are alot of earlier uses of the Herta too.

For whatever it’s worth to anyone, I’ve seen him do it live twice and it’s…
Snare-rack-snare-rack-snare-rack-rack-floor.

Exactly the tutorial I was looking for. Just moved into a house for the first time in years and finally have a permanent drum setup I can play whenever I want. Once I fully settle into this house I’m gonna practice as much as possible and become the best drummer I can.

I would teach it as "flam + 1 + 2", but then I'm not a drum teacher lmao. In my mind, I feel like that would be easier. Great job anyway.

Love this the way you repeat it fast slow and medium is brilliant

Fantastic break down!! Thank you, this has helped greatly 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Not the whole fill. Disappointed

dear Mike, I'm learning this hit and I'm struggling! Could you please explain the way you always do the other fills, before the refrain? I would really appreciate! Thank you very much

Really excellent tutorial. Thank you, Mike! 🙏🏼

VALEUU LINDOOOO

Oh god i always heard it as flam triplets

Really helpful. Thank you ever so much!!! 👊

Once again Mike breaks down an awesome song into bite size pieces. A lot of rock sounds harder than it is, but you have to break it down right. This song is definitely like that with its intense filling through out the song. You can't cheat on the fills in this song, it won't sound right. Thanks Mike.

Would you recommend the herta with a RRLR/LLRL sticking to keep with the triplet feel?

Great lesson, man. I"'m going to work on this. Start slowly and build speed day by day. Cheers!

this explanation finally clicked it for me, excellent lesson thank you!

Great drummer, great teacher, but tune those damn drums!

Is it possible to use a Swiss army flam triplet for this fill as well?

glad this turned on my recomended, love your energy

I didn’t know Willem Dafoe was so good at drums!

I've gotten even older than I thought. I'd never even heard this song. YOIKS!

Another fantastic lesson. Thank you for doing this fill at slower and faster tempos. Makes learning much easier 🍻

Hertas? Sound more like triplets

This is great, thanks. Following this I've found the best way to pick it up is to first concentrate on playing the triplets R-R-L- to get the intervals correct around the kit before attempting to add the second note for RLR-L- . Getting anywhere near the tempo is way beyond my ability though

man I have to say it's really cool that you did this. I asked for this I think almost a year ago or so when you did the book version of No One Knows from the Trinity Rock grade 5. Really love your teaching, when I have some time I'm going to become a member. Again, thank you so much. Playing this song in its entirety is one of my life long drum goals.

Fabulous Mike .

👍👍👍

Yup!👍🤘🏼

When he played it live at Glastonbury, Grohl definitely finishes the fill on the floor tom as you have played it here.

Love this. Thank you Mike.

Love the Herta, it just fell into place one day recently‼️thanks as ever ✌️🌻

🤘

Wow! Mike love the rolls around the kit!

Great lesson as ever Mike. The fill sounds pretty good at all beats per min… I could manage it if playing a bit slower and will defo look to use this on slower songs. Buy you a coffee soon by the way
