      @dasbose9999 I agree and probably my taste in music has changed over the years but last album (The Stage) was my favorite from them, they took a prog metal approach and I enjoyed every single song from that album. Now... as for this new album... not so much. But Brooks on The Stage was a breath of fresh air.

    13:16. My dude, to me this has been the most interesting thing you've done in a while. I might just borrow this format and try it for myself. Showing the struggle and seeing how you learn is great fun to watch. It also greatly increased my appriciation for this song, because I didn't really like it when I listened to it at first. This song has some killer fills and is filled with great details. Things you only hear when you carefully listen.

    Brilliant video. I’m in awe at how quickly you learned this insanely complex drum part. You’re my favorite drummer on CZcams, and one of my absolute favorite drummers period. It’s great to see the longer hair again. It reminds me of the days when you were makin covers in your old church with the sweatbands around your forearms. I’m so glad to see how far you’ve come since then, and that you can now make videos in your own house.
    God bless you Cobus. ✝️ 🥁 🎵

    Ton of fun to watch you work dude, keep it up. I've done string instruments for 25 years now, and it's always interesting to hear how others deal with limits or with certain things they struggle with. I have a ton of trouble with doing anything over 64th notes with bow-work for violin. I dunno if it is coordination or practice (probably some of both), but either way I hafta work around it in different ways like slurring or masking it. Also struggle a ton with proper vibrato with my pinky finger. Every musician has things they struggle with, so you aren't alone. Absolute legend!
