This jam was formed around the piano riff that Matt plays at the beginning. We had him start it off, and then we just came in and jammed on top of it. The feel of the piano riff left plenty of room for some unique grooves, and a lot of cross-stick action. I tried to include some nice little nuances that help keep the drum track relatively simple but also interesting.
Georgia State Rock Band Is:
Wesley Bruner - Bass Guitar
Daniel Melton - Guitar
Tim Allen - Guitar
Matt Gillette - Keys
Casey Cooper (COOP3RDRUMM3R) - Drum Set
