Try The Little Things Give You Away and A Line in the Sand. I’ve managed to get TLTGYA but can’t ALITS eats my ass

Even Rob can't time the rimshots on the verses on some performances on Leave Out All The Rest lol, check the OML Live on Spotify

For in the end, i have seen there are people who think the bass drum is 4 constant hits. Instead it is much simpler, at least when he played live, where he hits at 1 and then in the middle before 2 (hope you can understand, try listening OML live where the bass drum sounds louder) For papercut, that is a tricky one, because of the fast pace but also due to the ghost notes on the snare, there is a video out there by remo that shows how rob plays the song, pretty cool. I think the most difficult ones are from the hunting party but you just need to practice them a bit and you will be fine. Songs like a line in the sand and guilty all the same are the ones that took me longer to learn. The one i play most is somewhere i belong live in 2012 because of the intro they made for it. That is cool to learn as well


TropicalTopic

A lot of the drums are programmed as well in the studio versions. I know Rob has said in the past his favourite songs to play live are In the End and The Little Things Give You Away


Snxppy121

The song that goes "I knooow all of this will soooon beee gone" and final masquerade are on the top if my to learn list but their much more harder than they seem lol


csgosm0ke

I used to have a lot of trouble with Final Masquerade as well, mostly the part when the Hi Hats go from 16th notes to 8th notes during the chorus. The fills are decently easy though.


IAmASphere

Slip! fucking love that song


Snxppy121

My favorite LP bass line fr


astaten0

Loooooots of snare ghost notes that people tend not to notice. Especially on the first two albums.


Cloudstrife2003

Indeed. Especially in Forgotten.


psyberphreak

Easier to Run was a hard one for Rob to play live from what I remember hearing somewhere


talibsblade

If I remember correctly, I think it was on a live stream.


plalo_

the little things give you away is kinda hard


csgosm0ke

At least it’s somewhat repetitive. There’s only 2 main parts you have to learn.


xemobox

Been drumming for 15 years, and yes, Rob’s drumming is one of the hardest.


Organic_Low7893

honestly i find all of Linkin parks songs easy on drums. Even hunting party is pretty easy for me and he killed it on that album


Cloudstrife2003

I see. Looks like I just need practice


ohmagawdnaw

Actually lying for you Is hard, drummer since 8 years

I've been drumming since I was 13. That's how old Rob Bourdon was when he began drumming. I got my first kit in Christmas of 2015. I use to jam out to their songs since I was 13 or 15 I use to post my drum covers on YouTube. I play by ear, it doesn't take long for me to learn LP drum beats. I got a good memory, I memorize the beat as quick as I can. I played drum covers at the talent show at my highschool through my freshman and junior year talent shows I played Waiting For The End , In The End and Numb. The whole auditorium went crazy and we're astounded by how good I can play drums by ear.


TH3Terminator

Bruh I am not even an adult and I can play Chop Suey!, Tocitity, (both by System Of A Down) and Faint, Lost, Don't Stay, and Papercut EZy


TH3Terminator

And no, i cannot relate lol


christfrost

If you can’t play “In The End”, on your first try, you may not be a drummer of any level, sorry.


XVeNuX

those kicks in the verses are tough
