This is an original song I wrote from a drummers perspective. I had just bought my new "Pearl Eliminator Demon Direct Drive Pedals", and "Footblaster" Bass Drum Triggers. This is my first studio song I recorded using them. Double Stroke technique from 2:34 -3:14. Recorded at "Boho" Studio's Salt Lake City,Utah by Bruce Kirby. Jared Johnson-Guitars,Bass. Jim Redmond Drums.
