Something for your discussion. She does mostly metal stuff, but I think she did this one because of it's reputation for being technically difficult. And because it's awesome:

Could the SC law mean another secession from the union? At least THIS time there would be a good reason.

So where you have a disagreement you have preemption and the final arbiter over what is right is..



Therefore, it's a tax.
The Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Clause 2.) says that federal law rules over conflicting state law.


This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.

Default Best drummer of all time

With Stewart, it's not just the beats that he hits but the ones he doesn't that make him a master.

Who needs a drummer? You can get four songs a gallon & haul your equipment to the gig.



Not an example of great drumming, but certainly an illustration of the difference a guy who can swing a stick can make ....



Advance to about 50 seconds in. Back story. Lenny Kravitz is eating dinner when he hears a local youth choir playing "Fly Away." He decides to go have some fun. It's only worth about a 15 second listen, but fun to hear how the whole group tightens up with a drummer that can keep a beat.

And Purple;

which insurance plan are you going with?
Ringo tends to lay slightly behind whereas Peart plays right on top of the beat. Ringo's feel is whats hard to copy. Peart is a far more technical drummer. For example: Tom Sawyer is mostly 16th notes with some off time beats that are in 7/8 vs the more common 4/4 time. Add in some cymbals crashes in the middle of 32nd note rolls and you've got a song that can be difficult to play. However with Ringo, while anyone can play it correctly it just doesn't feel right unless you can lay behind the beat to get that groove that Ringo had.

And arguably the best that's ever played. (My hero when I was learning to play back in the '70's.)
