    That kit sounds so good. She was so on-point with that first take - totally nailed the feel of the song and interpreted extremely well. Yeah the part is more straight forward than what she put down but I think it could have been a solid representation of what that song might have been like if it were recording in the last few years. Anyways, loved it - these segments are why I follow Drumeo.

      Yeah, Rage used a lot of primal beats in their songs and let Tom explore the room with his unique guitar wizardry. The drums were used more as a thump than a musical instrument at times, which is probably what made them so good. If Brad were back there using a lot of fills, double bass, complex signatures, etc it probably would have drowned out Zack’s crucial lyrics and Tom’s riffs somewhat.
