This is a drum-performance of the song "High" from the "Progpop"-album.
The beat is tricky and it involves a lot of complex orchestration in a 4-bar cycle, some applied non-linear independence and a left-foot cowbell-ostinato. The concept behind this -and several other beats on the "Progpop"-album was to reverse-engineer 80's Pop Music drum-machine programming and play these layered rhythms of drum-and percussion parts live on a drum set.
The song is about new-years resolutions and since it's still January it's an appropriate time to post this. Hope you're all sticking to your strict diets of Flamadiddles and Shirley Murphy's! Cheers!
