Hi fellow drummers! Here's a play along for one of Mr. Bruford greatest classics, Beelzebub, with its iconic 9/8 groove. I'm also a keyboard player and recently did a rendition of this song with my friends and some special guests, but no real drums were recorded, it was done by the guitar player's fingers + an Akai MPD controller. Now you may all take a shot at those crazy drum parts. If you record youself playing it, please say hi on FB and let me know, I'd love to watch!

Cheers and enjoy your studies :)

Nice playing, very cool. So this whole session was done with everyone in separate locations, is that what is known as Skype? Yes I am an old guy, how did you guess?

Thanks! Old and awesome guy, may I add :)

Yes, we all live in different locations, but this is not done thru Skype (which is used for video chat). The process is quite simple: drums first and then each band member records both audio and video separately. So in the end we have a drum track, bass track, guitar track, keys, etc.. then we mix everything in an audio software and sync to the video, giving the illusion we're playing together live.
