ALWAYS such fun doing Breaking Benjamin tracks, it's always really powerful but also super groovy. My favourite kind of jams. I kept things pretty basic for the most part, didn't want to step on the vocals too much so only threw in a few surprises in here and there. The tom-bend fill at
1:30 is probably my favourite in this track

Also SO amped on the drum mix here, very very punchy (due to the original drums being really loud in the mix already) and the snare tone just makes me smile. Worked really hard on this, stoked how it came out.
And PLEASE check out the Re-Cover Music project, I want to play drums for you:
