Man I am not going to lie to you, this video popped up on my recommended and I was like, no fucking way, rolled my eyes, and was like aight lets watch someone stumble their way through a "cover" of this song. But I am sitting here with my jaw on the floor and a big ol foot in my mouth. GodDAMN you are SICK!! You actually did this song justice, amazing playing man. I will never doubt you again

!!! This was so impressive and inspiring! Absolutely love this song and you killed it. Can I ask how long you’ve been playing? I’m still relatively new-ish to drums, curious to know if playing this song is achievable starting the instrument as an adult.

[@riegeletto]

thanks so much 🙏 I‘m playing since I were a little child 😅 and it’s a lot of practice of course…so much listening to the song and translate is to the set takes a few weeks, and it still isn’t perfect 😅 hope you‘ll have a great time 🤗

Dude... I'm super observant with stuff and I have to say, you have this down! I'm shocked. Curious.. how many times did you listen to it and how many times did you practice on the kit before this video was filmed? Thanks!
