This is one of the hardest song I covered. The double bass drum shuffle is extremely hard to have, especially with all the ghost note and the ride pattern.
I know the "Hot For Teacher" drums part of Van Halen kind of get all the credit (and to be fair the intro is super hard of course, same with the ending), but If I remember correctly, this double bass drum shuffle has less ghost note, less groove, less stroke on the ride, and so the rest of the song is easier to play, and less of a coordination/musicality challenge.
Nonetheless, don't get me wrong, I LOVE this Van Halen song, and the whole thing with the double bass drum shuffle here was to be more direct and less groovy, so totally legit to have less ghost note.
Anyway, Pat Torpey was an insane drummer too, and his work for MR.BIG...I just love it, love the sound too!
