    The assassin version that Cory linked reaches unbelievable speed levels. Guitarists will break their wrists just by listening to it. And that Petar can follow the speed on the drums without his arms detaching from torso... I don't know what drugs these guys took in Kansas :D

    • @gustafsone

      Petar has quickly raised towards the top of my "favorite drummers of all time" list and I've been around a while, so me saying this is a pretty big compliment! I won't say he is my absolute favorite, because honestly, that's an impossible question to answer, but he is probably top 5, for sure!

    Petar has a very strong point on the song he chose. The slow, simple beats are usually the hardest to maintain. You need to subdivide in your head and NOT on the kit.

    The finest moment over here in Cambridge UK was instinctively reaching for an instrument which wasn't in the room when Cory started a track, drums and perc went to come in on the one. I had the fear as if it was a gig and I was about to be naked on stage! 🤣

    • @cowbellthunder
      @cowbellthunder Рік тому

      The story about providing feedback to Seth along the lines of "you're missing these Sonny T licks, it's the truth" is probably as close of an answer as we'd get. If Cory's platonic ideal for bass is Sonny T, and he's available, he's got to be there.

      @iamthemoneyj Рік тому

      @@cowbellthunder true, but when he doesn’t get sonny, he goes to johannes or Seth. Also Victor Wooten but that doesn’t count lol.
