I would like to point out that one of the underrated aspects that makes this performance so great is the way he modulates the density of the ghost notes on the snare throughout the song. Most drummers with enough technique and independence to play this come out all guns blazing with the ghost notes on the snare and fill up every available space. Michel Alba starts out playing barely any ghost notes, then increasing and pulling back again, just like Jeff did on the original recording. Truly an awesome cover that shows a deep understanding of the song.

I've played this groove before,...it's not easy. It took me hours of practice to get smooth with it. There's a kind of swing lope to it that jeff does, but once I got comfortable with it, it's just fun to play. I haven't played drums in 7 yrs. But this is one of those grooves that I played a lot that I think it wouldn't take me long to get back on it. This is probably the best KZbin version of this groove on youtube. When Jeff played live, he'd change the fills up a bit.
