The big thing my drum teacher is having me work on is relaxing. I haven't quite figured out how you look super animated (the showmanship part) while being completely relaxed though. Maybe he never learned it?

He'd be absolutely dying if he were forcing that double kick or those blast beats though. I've been working on Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold that's at 130 bpm, and I can do 16th double kick at about 85% of it (110 bpm) pretty comfortably. If I try to play it up to speed though, I feel it, big time, mostly in my hip flexors.

Oddly, I did my little tempo tapper app and that Lorna Shore song is about exactly the same, at 130 bpm (although these sound like 32nds).

Rush's replacement for Peart for their upcoming reunion tour. She apparently is a fan of Porcaro and has played with Jeff Beck. My dad (old drummer) approves.
