agreed, the only thing annoying about the mistakes is that he has a backing track so when its out-of-sync it hurts, ive seen Animals As Leaders 4 times now and he actually plays certain parts differently because no matter how many triggers he uses, there are just too many elements to the layers. so when he improvises life i treat as one of the treasures of life because he almost seems more comfortable improvising, as any jazz musician should be :0

Seymour Duncan removed the originals because they got salty that he left them for Fishman. Tosin was in the process of making signature Seymour Duncan pickups, (he's using the prototypes here) but when he tried out Fishman's he switched over. SD decided to just take em off their channel since he was no longer an SD artist.
