Hey Wernervonwaltsleben,

So I took a listen to your request... I would say that this one is tricky because of the toms for sure, also the use of two snares. I would really like to see the way Virgil set up his drums for that particular session.

With that in mind, I think I have it pretty close here:

The left hand is on the side snare for the most part.

The last measure has the left side floor tom on the E line.

The last snare hit would be the main snare.


Good Luck, man!

Excellent, Terry. I recently got the Quantum album so that'll save me a bit of time, thank you!
