Bon Jovi – Always (Drum Lesson) | Intro Tutorial (70 BPM + 40 BPM)

Learn how to play the drum intro of “Always” by Bon Jovi step by step.
In this drum lesson, I break down Tico Torres’ iconic intro drum fill and show you how to play it cleanly at both original tempo and slow tempo.

In this video you’ll learn:
• The sticking and structure of the intro
• How to control the dynamics
• How to keep the groove solid at 70 BPM
• How to practice it effectively at 40 BPM

I perform the intro at approximately the original tempo (70 BPM) and then slow it down to 40 BPM to help you master every detail.
