[Edobification]

why don't you cover something by tool?

[benanders0n]

@Edobification I was contemplating doing a tool "melody" actually of all my favorite beats/parts. not sure how well it would flow together though so for now its just a maybe.

[fender7682]

do you like that eq3 reso head? im not sure if i should get the eq3 or the emad...

[benanders0n]

@fender7682 yea, I've never had good experiences with emad. I'd go for the eq3

[montanh08]

FUCK WHAT EVERYONE SAYS...this was a great cover...not that noone can cover it...its that you can play within the realms of whats was originally created and you did it...live or not i would thought you were navene himself

[benanders0n]

@montanh08 thank you!

[benanders0n]

@xomegaweapon1987x I've seen it live as well...and he is, but the drums on the album were in fact programmed. 

[benanders0n]

@AboutSelix I'm pretty sure the drums on this song were programmed, so any person that learns this would be "covering" it in a way. I just tried to stick to the CD programming rather than improv off it like Navene does (which is awesome).

[SocietyAnimal]

Thanks for getting me hooked on Animals As Leaders!

2:10 snare sounds like a grandfather clock :D

[xXNiTeBriGAdEXx]

@benanders0n medley is the word you were looking for

[Obtaurian]

It always wets my willy when a drummer can play something like this while looking completely relaxed and in-the-zone, if that makes sense. Your playing is awesome.

[Rockyroopam]

fucking awesome !!
