This is one of the best songs ever to listen to while laying on the floor in complete blackness. I love to play it as it is totally trance-inducing, yet changing constantly to stay interesting. Unbeknownst to me, my electronic pads had a connection malfunction during this song. You can see me hit them, but with no sound. I didn't know it until I loaded the video into my computer. Please excuse this malfunction. I also had to chop 12 seconds off the beginning to meet YouTube's 10 minute limit.
It is critical that every drummer develop their own unique style and interpretation. Therefore, I do not memorize any song exactly. I have spent 30 years playing drums and have developed my own style, which I prefer. I keep my playing within the framework of the song and will play a part exact if that part is either iconic (like Phil Collins In The Air Tonight) or critical to the success of the song.
Thank you for watching and lots of success drumming!!
