One of the most complicated drum covers I've ever attempted. Friendly Fires have always been a percussion-heavy band (one of the reasons I love 'em so), often utilizing multiple layers of percussion, so for this track, I tried to combine the basic drum track as well as the background timbales into one fluid track on the kit. It was rather mind-bending, but I think when it all comes together in the last chorus the results are nothing short of some of my best moments on the drums. I hope you agree. I'll be using a similar approach for my "What You Know" cover, due to drop sometime in 2012.

Oh, and PS -- Happy New Year's, everyone! This video was supposed to cap 2011, but due to some internet difficulties last night it had to be postponed into the opening slot of 2012.

In any case, one of my resolutions for 2012 is to get back into making drum videos on a regular basis. Combine that resolution with the electronic kit I'm probably going to get for practicing in my dorm, and I think 2012's gonna be an interesting, drum-filled year for all of us. I hope you enjoy watching my upcoming covers as much as I will enjoy making them.

Love to all, and I hope you've had a wonderful holiday season.
