Drum transcription available here: kalebdavies.gumroad.com/l/dsgfr Included: 1) Drum transcription of Mario's drum parts in the original track 2) Drum transcription of what I played in this cover
Those ride notes you put in the beginning pattern unlocked it for me. I have the entire thing written out (im a teacher as well) but the ostinato never dawned on me like that until you did that. nice!
Great! Yeah I initially learned it by ear as groupings of 16th notes set to a quarter note pulse and not in any particular time signature: 3 patterns of 5, 3 patterns of 3, 3 patterns of 5, 2 patterns of 3. ^All of this 4x. Then 4 patterns of 6 - once it moves to the section with kick and snare
Im more impressed with how strong and lasting your legs/feet are! Holy hell and you're blasting away on that kick, let alone how impressive you do single kicks w main groove. You've definitely built up endurance that most of us dont have Lol
You fucking killed this dude, but if you want to make it more accurate during these portions 3:18 alternate between the bell and the crash. It's the way Mario plays it, but aside from that, damn bro, you got this shit.
