  • I had to make a few adjustments to pull off Mario's playing. That dude is a phenomenal drummer with great technique and feel. This is one of my biggest accomplishments so far. You can tell by the sweat that it didn't come easy! ;)

    This was the song that got me into Gojira. Before I heard first this song, I was never a fan of this band. The drumming and the musicianship in general is fucking spectacular and it made me a Gojira fan. I'm glad that you covered it and you did it justice as well (no shirt pun intended).
