Sage Performs "When I Come Around" by Green Day | Drum Lessons in Tooele County, Utah
Sage recorded another song during his weekly drum lessons, performing "When I Come Around" by Green Day in the studio. Originally released in 1995 as the fourth single from Green Day's breakthrough album "Dookie," "When I Come Around" became one of the band's most successful songs and remains a staple of alternative rock and pop-punk playlists. The song spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, making it one of Green Day's biggest radio hits of the 1990s. Written by lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, "When I Come Around" was inspired by a temporary breakup between Armstrong and his future wife, Adrienne. The song's relatable lyrics and memorable guitar riffs helped establish Green Day as one of the defining bands of the punk rock revival. The original drummer on the recording is Tre Cool, whose energetic yet controlled playing style helped shape Green Day's signature sound. While "When I Come Around" features a more laid-back groove than some of the band's faster songs, it challenges drummers to maintain consistent timing, control dynamics, and lock in with the feel of the song. Watch Sage's performance and see how students build confidence and real-world drumming skills by learning the music they love. See all of Sage's recorded performances here: https://www.joshkastlemandrumlessons.com/sage What happens during a weekly 30-minute drum lesson? Each lesson is personalized to match the student's goals, musical interests, and skill level. Students learn to play along with popular songs they choose themselves, helping them stay motivated and excited to practice. During each lesson, the student and teacher review any sections of the song that need extra attention. Once all parts of the song have been mastered, students have the opportunity to create a professional in-studio recording using high-tech multi-camera equipment. The recording process only takes a few minutes and gives students a chance to celebrate their progress while building confidence behind the drum set. After recording, students receive a band sticker for their collection and choose a new song with their instructor based on the techniques they want to learn and the music that inspires them. The selected song is printed and added to the student's binder, where the teacher and student work through the structure, grooves, fills, and challenging sections together. Students also continue progressing through the Drums In Color method, learning new beats, fills, rhythms, rudiments, and reading skills. For every chapter completed in the Drums In Color books, students earn reward stickers and reward points that can be redeemed for band posters, canvases, and other incentives.
