From the Animusic 1 DVD.

Ever since I was a kid and my parents brought home the Animusic DVDs (1 and 2), I have loved this music. Originally written by Wayne Lytle and modeled by Dave Crognale, the music and the visuals were always fascinating to me, so it seemed another good avenue to take for a series of covers. Enjoy!

Find the DVDs if they're still available, or they're on YouTube as well if you wanted to find them there. Just search Animusic and they'll pop up.

This song features a groove that fits so well with the rest of the instruments, I didn't realize until I started trying to play it just how syncopated it is. But it is a lot of fun to play, and it reinforces why I love the open handed method of playing. Without moving my right hand from the hihat, I have access to 5 of my 7 regular toms, all three roto toms, all 5 cowbells, all 5 Tollspire chimes, as well as a second snare, and a whole mess of different cymbals, which makes replicating a groove like this more doable.
