@@howtobeatadrumironically, it sounds like you didn't get the ending of the vid. The main song finished at around 5.55. The the loop of the ending begins so he can let off steam after keeping a lid on it for the whole song! The drums in main song up until the loop was super-tame as it should be, you can't fill every note in these grooves. It dosen't work! The loop was his time to blast and is not part of this classic groove. I'm sure you can understand.

@MorbidManMusic Again He has worked to improve his drumming for a long time. You can't earn gifts, they're given to you. Some people are more gifted in sports naturally. Some more in music. Others with knowledge and sharing that with others. God gives us good gifts, they are a part of who we made us. You might not see it that way, but I pray that God opens your eyes to see that he is Lord and he loves you my friend. Jesus died for you on the cross to give you new life, He's real and he is alive, and he is God. He loves you my friend, all you gotta do is cry out to him and he'll answer you! He wants to show you that he's real, I dare you to challenge him to prove to you that he's real and to show himself to you personally. I mean it! Try it 🙂
