God I love The Mars Volta! Been wanting to learn this song for a while. Definitely better on the album, but still a great live performance.
Okay this is the first time I've recorded myself - go easy on me and constructive criticism and feedback is welcome!
I thought the same thing as James (both about Youtube and also being to hard on yourself). I'm sure you are a perfectionist like some of us so it's hard sometimes! I was scared shitless to upload a video here but I finally did... and I realize it no…

- Welcome to The Drum Fill Rob! Thank you for the kind words on my kit and music. We are nearly neighbors, being in the same province and all!

Rock on,
James
