"I love playing this tune. It has such a solid groove and the drums really have a front row seat for the action. When I first heard this song as a teenager it blew me away how tight and busy the kick drum is. The drum solo at 3:00 is funky and short with a run on the toms that is definitely challenging if your hands aren't warmed up! Bottom line, any drummer would have fun playing this song! Enjoy!"
p.s. I would also like to thank Steven Chandler for the guitar intro performance, great job!!!

That was awesome man. Stanier rules and you did him justice right here. One of the greatest albums ever and one of the best songs off it. Respect!

[@MikeMalatino]

Thank you very much. I've always enjoyed playing this tune. It's challenging, but in a good way!

@@MikeMalatino My last comment was 5 years ago. I came again looking for FBLA II covers and watch yours as it was the first time (I actually forgot that I've already seen it in the past). I was about to write: "Excellent cover! You have a great ear!", when I say I already congratulated you! Fine work, man!

[@TheGoalieDave]

Perfectly done! And this is a hard one. Any helmet song is hard!

[@MikeMalatino]

The fills towards the end are hard at this speed. 🤘😎

[@al1976-v7m]

Stupid newb question but what time signature is this?

[@rocketnewton]

4/4 but Stanier can play some interested off beat syncopated grooves that make you think it's something else.
