Ultimate View of Fire and Flames on Drums

Since getting my new camera angle and capture setup working on my latest videos, this has been the #1 request by far: to redo TTFAF. I kinda wanted to do it anyway, because looking back at my old TTFAF vids, they’re such poor video quality. I never get to see what my hands are doing either, so I wanted to see this video too! 😉 I think the reason people wanted to see this is to see more closely how I play it with drum sticks. So for some of the trickier sticking parts, I’ve slowed it down for a few bars and used a Kameo-esque “warrior focus” mode for added effect. I kinda like it. I only did it in parts that are repetitive so that you could also see it played at normal speed in other parts of the song. This will be my last TTFAF video. I love the song, but it’s just too big a mountain to climb. It takes me a 1/2 hour of warm up just to be able to pass it. I practiced it for a couple hours earlier in the day just to try and get back to how good I was at it when I 5-star’d it ( youtube.com ) and even so I couldn’t quite reach 5 stars (missed it by a measly 5000 points! If I’d ‘a just hit some of those easy SP phrases in the solos, or just not botched the intro… ugh, I’m full of regret… ah well, I have to move on.) This was my 3rd take of the night and by the 4th one I could barely get through the intro. It’s just so tiring! Sweat dripping off my face while I’m playing this. Seriously. But hey, it’s a great workout! Thanks for watching yet another TTFAF video. I really …
