  • Is that "Ticks and Leeches" by Tool at 3:42?

  • @forwhatitsworthnj Not quite, it's pretty close though, good ear! That's what I was thinkin' about when I tracked that part, not trying to rip it off directly. :)

  • A hammerax endorsement would be so good!

  • @lazerath123 Not gonna argue with ya on that man ;)

  • @BASSxACE Yeah man, good call! It's totally close :) And thank you

  • That last Ex. you did in 7/4 sounds very similar to the beat in Ticks and Leeches by tool. That i believe is also in 7/4. Probably my favorite song with Danny Carey. Great Videos man.

  • Awesome, Aaron thanks so much for the help!

  • I've converted this video series on time signatures to mp3 so that I'll have less time watching than practice it.. Thanks and I'm sure it'll help me lot!

    Greetings from the Philippines!!
