What's up you hapless noobs?!

My earlier - and private - post sums up my drunken thoughts perfectly:

Thinking on it, you can't play drums from a rhythmical perspective once the beat gets too complicated (see above). Every 16th note onwards is like a new movie, and the part should be - and almost needs to be - memorized, tit for tat, as if it was a movie. Troy Wright is like a drumming God, and I suspect he tackled this song as most drummers do. Then he failed. The mind, by default, can't grasp what needs to be done. So for me, what's cool about the 2:40 part is that a guitar player might be more apt to play it, than a drummer. By the way 2:40 is easy, it's when you add in the cymbal splashes, then it gets almost impossible.

Further, I was thinking... first we have Misha, and I said....
When your guitar player can do this on drums (Periphery):

Then you know the fucker lives, breathes and sleeps music.

"Here i am behind the kit, yes i know im not very good, but thats why i play guitar in the band haha! Regardless i still absolutely love playing, and Matt is nice enough to let me jam on his kit (or else he's fired of course!)"

I had a point to this post; then I forgot. Clever assholes will claim this is an excuse. Wiser people will know that shit happens.

Love this song:
