Greetings! Been trying out this song but got a couple of spots iīve been having trouble:

First is the fill at 01:09min, theres a sixtuplet there that iīve been doing like this:
Snare / tom / tom / floor tom / floor tom / snare
Left / Right / Left / Right / Right / Left

What is it, actually?
---

And the second spot im having trouble is positioning the snare hit on the post-solo part, at 01:30min. Iīve been doing a drag right before the bass+ride notes.. sounds "ok", but i guess its a bit far from it. :confused:

Anyone could transcribe those passages, or maybe post a sheetmusic for it? Iīve tried some guitarpro transcriptions, but they are all a bit blergh =(

thanks!

George got the snare placement right.

I presume you're talking about the fill at 1:10, there are a couple around that point; I'm pretty sure the one you're talking about is just a ruff, first two notes on bass and the accented snare. Listen carefully. I'm listening to the album version, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Sick song.

Nice everyone!
And Damo! That bass on the last tempo of the second bar was probably throwing me off! Thanks alot :)

Itīs been quite a while that learning a dt song is in my "to do" list.. i guess ill finally be able to do that sometime soon!
Even tho a couple of fills in the end of the song still sound a bit out of my range =/
Anyway, thanks everyone! greatly appreciated!
