Monday Drum Day: Sandy metal

I have decided I need to play more songs on the drums as it cannot just be about exercises. This is one I have been wanting to do and I have had some attempts at it before. I am using the Drumeo backing track and notation as usual. They have an 'easy' version of Enter Sandman that I think is about my level, but it still has a few tricky bits. There are lots of hits off the main beat and variations through the song. It is a fairly long one too.

I am conscious that I made plenty of mistakes and got a bit out of time, but this is a log of where I was right now and I hope to improve with more practice. I need to work on certain parts, but this evening I have come home from work and just want to play.

Here is the original for reference. I know Lars is thought to have some faults as a drummer by some people, but he has so much more experience than I do and so can at least get through the songs.

Last week I worked on some Journey for the Drumeo collaboration, but did not get a full video done to submit. I have not seen what the May song will be yet, but I shall have a look when it is announced.

Rock on!
