i love that fill that brings you into the chorus. the sticking here is really clean and make it that much better! its just four triplets i know, but when its so clean its awesome
@uphunk114: Maybe you and I have the chorus and verse mixed up. Of course, yes, the chorus is a constant triplet roll of rrl, but the verse features buzzes on the 4 after the open hihat (not to mention a few other places in the song).
@uphunk114 During the chorus, he's doing a lot of LLR, accenting R every now and then. During the verse, I hear a lot of buzz rolls (not a rudiment, at all, really).
@paintbalesf Actually, I think those are fast triples, continuously played. It's easy to think they're buzz rolls but I'm picking out three distinct hits every time.
Unreal. Flawless. I just posted my cover of this song which I thought was decent until I saw this. Well, I have always been a subscriber in knowing you will always be striving to better yourself. This performance just proves that to me. You have an enormous amount of taste and style. Your MD performance was more mature and tasteful than players with 5 times the age and experience. Cheers and all the best.
this song made me want to play drums so bad... the video made me want to play even more. damn youre good and you make it look so easy.
