[@Rubennbarce]

It's amazing! One question! What stick did Dr.Andrea use for this performance?

[@noahcook241]

Yo loved this piece but gotta be real a lot of it is Africa by Toto

[@ericpaskach6329]

It's actually inspired by Africa by Toto so good ear!

[@noahcook241]

@@ericpaskach6329 I have since researched that and made myself aware, I apologize for the troll that was my past self🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Rudimental3000]

Africa??

[@OliverNMolina]

I just heard that too. Doesn't help that I just listened to the original song. haha

[@griffincofell4738]

This piece is actually based off the harmony of Africa, so. Kind of!

[@MDPercussion]

LOL. I just heard that as well.

[@mb2268]

What’s that on the drum head?

[@minablack2004]

A bandana to dampen the ringing overtones that the drums produce! Good question

[@programmedwrong3795]

This is really pretty

[@TheLazerBlazer]

Is it just me or is the sheet music not accurate

[@zisonKB]

Either she’s playing it wrong or the sheet music is wrong

[@austinshoupe3003]

Could be competing editions. You see that a lot. The publishing and media elements of these kinds of things move slow. Could be she recorded this and by the time it was done, Tapspace asked for some edits. Or she decided against some earlier choices. And you, know, people are fallible. Many times you only have enough time to get 3-4 reps and a few safety shots. So you take the most convincing performance. Happens all the time. It's remarkably hard to multi track these kinds of pieces.
