[BreakfastAtGringos]

Ben Anderson: blowing your mind with the illest drum fills since God knows when.

[HoboBeanS3]

you fucked that symbal up at the end

[MrMovieSound]

awesome

[rockdownthequarts]

This is amazing. Could you tell me how the verse written down on guitar pro or something?

Trying to figure it out but it will take some time thanks anyways!

[zeroforahero]

one of my favorite TMV songs, and you fuckin killed it! i clicked on the thumbnail not knowing what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised/blown away by how spot on you were. nice job!

[rhysdavid96]

what mikes are you using please ? so i can do some recording

[fiftyfiveseventy]

Incredible!

[Yargasblarg1]

a question that's been bugging me is this. In the main verse are you/is Pridgen doing the double-hits with one pedal or using the back of his left foot to do a double hit with double pedal?

[benanders0n]

@Yargasblarg1 Pridgen only plays a single pedal, so for this cover I too only used a single pedal...otherwise it would just be cheating!

[bourland27]

mother of god.... that was impressiiiiiiiiiiive

[BurnThePope0514]

All of your covers are fucking amazing! Do you like the dw9000's, I want to up grade from my 5000s, and its between the 9000s, or some Trick Doms

[benanders0n]

@BurnThePope0514 I will never play another double pedal if I have the option. 9000's are killer man.

[FavioSanchezIII]

Holy mother of God. This is fucking awesome. Not quite as tight as Pridgen, but it's pretty damn close. AMAZING job, dude!

[drummergirl626]

whoa. nice! how long did it take you to get this song down?

[benanders0n]

@drummergirl626 total I'd say about 8-10 hours. mainly focusing on the intro/outro cause I wanted it to be as close to the track as I could..

[BadShannonBand]

Dude, you are an absolute beast. As good as it gets without seeing Pridgen do it himself.

[benanders0n]

@BadShannonBand thank you!

[align600snp]
