How to wish your Dad a Happy Birthday on the drums

I've already posted two of Blake's Happy Birthday guitar songs, and the drums I laid down over them, and you know what? I might just keep going. We'll see. I didn't want to pass this one up. Blake's guitar riff here is groove city. It was fun trying to come up with drum parts that did it justice. But I feel like it all came together pretty nicely. I really like the challenge of writing drum parts like this. You have to make sure they aren't too simple to the point that they're lame and boring, but you also want to make sure you're not being overly complex to the point that you step on the vibe’s toes. No good can come from stepping on the vibe’s toes.
I included a video of the guitar and drums together, the drums alone so you can hear more precisely what I played, and the guitar alone so you can play along and create your own drums if you want.
Happy drumming!
