Performance: Ruination - Virgil Donati Drum Cover
Edited October 20, 2020: I decided to update this post and move it over to my Performances section. Unfortunately, I didn’t win the contest, but I still got a great video out of the deal. Enjoy!

I’ve entered the Gruv Lockdown Challenge, sponsored by Gruv Gear, PDP, DW, Sabian, Modern Drummer Magazine and TheDrumChannel.com! The main prize is a free lesson with Virgil Donati himself, a year subscription to Modern Drummer, plus all the gear below!
To enter, we had to come up with our own part to Virgil’s song Ruination. Whew… what a beast! The real challenge was in figuring out the structure and nailing those arrival points. Overall, I’m really happy with my performance and I love, love, love the sound Andreas Sandnes got out of my drums. The man’s a genius!
Voting starts August 24 over at The Gruv Lockdown Challenge IG page. Just like my video to cast your vote!
