Progressive Technical Metal Drumming - Craig Reynolds

In the spirit of Stevie’s Spanking and The Black Page by Zappa, I decided to write a song deliberately to annoy my friend Josh, who tirelessly plays guitar and bass on most of my songs. I hope you enjoy it more than he did. My average workflow is that I notate the music for all instruments with blatant disregard to how hard it might be, then learn, track and video the drums, then finally force Josh at stick point to record the guitars. Then I mix the audio at my studio.
