So..this was an attempt at putting together a drum solo piece, stringing together some bits and pieces I've learnt, very much inspired by Neil Peart's compositional approach to putting together a drum solo. The other thought behind it was to have something to play to warm-up on the drums hopefully in a musical way, and which is a bit more fun than just playing lots of unrelated exercises.

The format of it is -- some simple 4/4 stuff, flams around the drums, 4-stroke rolls around the drums, a 7/8 groove, a Vinnie Colaiuta groove (from the 84 Zildjian Day in NY), a songo (a Latin rhythm), singe strokes around the drums, then a rock solo section (with a few bits nicked from Neil Peart and Alex Van Halen), some double strokes on the hi-hat, a Terry Bozzio ostinato section, some ideas based on the Gary Chaffee approach to compound stickings (which I worked on having been inspired by Vinnie Colaiuta and Steve Smith), and some double bass rolls to finish.

Hope you like it!

PS I'm not anything to do with Slipknot. I was very sorry to hear of PG's untimely demise, and I wish I could play the drums like Joey Jordison, but I'm just a bloke in the UK who likes to drum. Cheers!
