Mike Mangini inspired octoban placement? Lol

[mikemichalkowdrums]

@xDrummingPiex Absolutely! I bought some octobans last year and was having a heck of a time figuring out where to put them, then I saw Dream Theater live with mangini, and thought....hmmmmmmm.... I gotta try that!

I just curious, mike, for finger control on the left hand, if you have a double jointed thumb, will that impact on finger control for the left hand?

[mikemichalkowdrums]

@185simo it shouldn't make a difference, because with Finger control, your thumb is just a support for the stick, the back 3 fingers are the ones you are using for finger control! good luck!

Thanks Everyone! This is Truly a solo from the heart, my wife was curious how I came up with this so quickly even though Blake is only 5 months old, and I told her that I'm basically playing "my emotions"... if that makes sense, it's hard to explain, but the last 5 months have been life changing for me again with the addition of Blake to our family, and this is how I demonstrate those great emotions. Enjoy!
