Someone should really tab out the live version from VH1clasic, because I was listening to that on OnDemand and I got really pumped to play it but then I saw the original and I was disappointed. It's a lot more fun with cooler fills and crashes.

Do you have to use a double bass drum? 'Cause I was trying to do it with one and I couldn't keep up with the tempo. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
LarsieLarsieJuly 21, 2008 at 4:45 am
dev I think that u play it wrong because its pretty easy to keep on that beat with only one bassd

If it gets too fast just use the heel toe method. If you don't know how just look up videos on youtube.
