U killed it. Nobody is Carter obviously but u certainly did a fantastic job

[@BradMontgomery1]

@ryanclark895 That is so nice of you! Thanks for the kudos. Means a lot...

[@ADirtyLeviathan]

Phenomenal job one drummer to another. 💪👍

[@BradMontgomery1]

Thanks Chase! I'd love to hear you play!

[@GreggTobo]

Amy and I love this! We cheered out loud each time you nailed a difficult passage!

[@BradMontgomery1]

Thanks Gregg and Amy!

[@ttboadd]

Soo good!! Love the last 2:00 of this song, and you nailed it in my opinion. Too hard for you? Nope - I disagree. Very nicely done!

[@BradMontgomery1]

Such a nice comment. Thanks for the kindness!!!

[@rodneyp8099]

Well done man. That is a tough song. Carter makes it look so easy, smiling and blowing bubble gum but hands down he is my favorite. Nice Job, that took some guts.

[@BradMontgomery1]

Thanks Rodney. Super fun to learn...and dang, it's tough. I tried to play it again recently after not playing it for a few months.... Dang! : ). have a great day.

Hey Brad. Great job. Interestingly, I have also thought about attempting this for the very same reasons! I'm really struggling with the timing and get too easily frustrated with my lack of progress! Have you ever tried to explain the sticking and timing of the more difficult sections to another drummer? I think I'm going to need some help of this kind to be able to figure this one out!

[@BradMontgomery1]

I'd be happy to talk to you about it, Brian. But I have a confession: I read music well and really tried to understand the weirder parts of this tune that way. But in the end, I leaned it by brute force. I just listened enough to "get it" even though I would have a tough time explaining it. You've got this! Hit me up through www.bradmontgomery.com if you wanna talk.

@@BradMontgomery1 Thanks for the reply. I can read percussion scores pretty well myself and I think a good score would actually be of help. Do you have access to one?

[@KYCCCGuy]

Good job! Some of it might be easier with a remote hat set up so you can play open handed. And of course you need about 3 splash cymbals to really nail it! 🙂

[@BradMontgomery1]

Yeah...would love more gear!!! Thanks for the nice comment!

[@ryanclark895]

​@@BradMontgomery1i got a remote hi hat. Absolutely awesome device. Highly recommend. Pearl is the best bang for ur buck in that regard

[@drumman190]

What kind of kit is that? Sounds great!

[@BradMontgomery1]

Thanks! It is a set of Roland V drums. I think it's TK 30. Thanks for the nice note!
