Alright, in this segment I want to talk to
about playing the song 'Wipe Out'. Mainly
because I think it should be in every drummers
back pocket, just to be able to take it out
and play it whenever, wherever they are. And
overall it's just a crowd pleaser, I mean
'Wipe Out' is just an awesome song to play.
So we'll learn how to do that. So let's start
out really slow and we'll start with the main
part which is on the toms and I'll show you
how to accent it. This is the way I play it
anyway. So really slow it starts like accent
first with the right hand. So it's. So that's
it. Just review really quick, really slow,
just. It's now, I'll start with the regular
beat which is on the ride and then I'll go
into it on rack one and rack two, really quick.
I'll put it altogether into song.
