    For all the people who be wanting the notation, a word of advice: Write the notation yourself! Yes, you’re going to have to keep going back and re-listening a hundred times, but believe me, it’s worth it! You will know the groove inside and out, and it’s also great practice in deep listening. Just try it!

    My favorite era was when blues rock was king. Think Cream, Led Zeppelin especially in their early days . I never got into funk, which is a serious lack in my drumming education. These are great grooves, expertly taught. Thank you for making the world safe for people who want to learn to play music 🎶.

Hardcore metal really started early 80’s. I was there lol Rock on man- your knowledge is greatly appreciated.
