Gregg Bissonette dives deep into the groove behind Van Halen’s “Jump” in a new Drumeo session, unpacking the drum work that helped push the track past a billion streams and into rock history. Originally played by Alex Van Halen on the 1984 album ‘1984,’ the part anchors Eddie Van Halen’s towering synth riff with precision and feel. Bissonette, who drummed for David Lee Roth from 1985 to 1992, spotlights the restraint, timing and instinct that made the simplicity so effective, revealing how a focused, locked-in performance turned “Jump” into one of the defining sounds of the 80s.
