The line "It took me 10 years to find the answer to something, I forgot about it in 2 seconds" is way to accurate in my life HAHA.

IT TOOK JEROD 10 YEARS TO IMPROVISE THAT DRUMBEAT HE FORGOT ABOUT IT IN 2 SECONDS

[@cherrylion5076]

THAT'S ABOUT IIIIIIIIIIIT!

[@ArcienPlaysGames]

Mankind cannot change time signatures So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beats.

[@Seb_No.13]

HEAVEN OR HELL

[@zilch0]

This world is a broad, colorful drum solo, but should you pull on a single measure from beneath your sticks, you'll realize that in the end it's just one colorful improv. That improv is called necessity. A human may see an impossible music feat and call it rehearsed, but that's a misnomer, and you should never mistake rehearsal for fun. Humans have the potential for infinite solos, but you know that already!

[@KetaceanKyle]

im sad he never uploaded his first try cause his reactions to the switch up were priceless, but i'm happy that it looks like he adapted to it pretty fast all things considering....

[@Nixitur]

I know this isn't what people are here for, but your singing has legit become pretty dang good.

[@The4stro]

man jerod is straight up VIBIN with this song. i wonder if he did more guilty gear OST

[@KyRex1783]

He's done... Armor Clad Faith(Potemkin), Kiss of Death(Goldlewis), Disaster of Passion(May), Hellfire(Leo), Alone Infection(Faust), Out of the Box(Axl), Rock Parade(Anji), Find Your One Way(Sol), and Perfection Can't Please Me(Jack-O)

[@JackKahunaLagunaFGC]

Love the energy man, exactly how I feel when I listen to this song. Someone made a chart of it for Clone Hero, and I love to mess around with it! Still one of my favorite songs in Strive's OST.

OOOOO!!! I have got to go download that! Gotta give it a try!

Honestly, while the Wario laugh that happens during this part here (4:36) is pretty funny, somehow it oddly fits pretty well with the song.

[@kgordon5163]

I wanted to like Drift, but I was having such a hard time following along, and your drums helped me lock into the beat and time signatures of the different sections. also you looked like you were having mad fun playing along, so subbed! 10/10

[@driftnick7022]

This song is insane, I listen to prog metal regularly and the time signatures on this one still trip me up. Amazing stuff!

[@davidmortimer9764]

By now this is an old comment, but I saw someone say "I enjoy watching *Bit Drummer's infectious energy, 'cause how could anyone be sad watching this? No one" and he's right. For some reason I was feeling pretty meh this morning, but I saw his recent Athena - The Tireless One video and it perked me **right** up and had me singing along. His videos have been in my recommended selections before and I've watched them but I dunno why I haven't just subscribed. I apologise for that, and it has now been rectified! (That Emerald Lakeside cover was great too.) But when I see Drift, I **have** to click.

Can someone clarify why the lyrics in this video at 0:51 seconds say "it's my show playing now" instead of the actual lyric "which way should we go?" It's confusing me, found the video he has in the corner and it has the actual lyric, was it edited out recently? Am i going crazy???

Then new theme comes out we don't have any offical lyrics usually, so guilty gear community just guessing the lyrics by themselves. I think this is the case, video was edited to the more accurate lyrics
