    This is THE machine head song for me. People always mention stuff from burn my eyes but everytime I think of Machine head I think of Imperium. That massive wall of sound the moment Rob goes "hear me now!!!!!" Feels like an overloaded train with brakes failed tearing through everything and majority of it has to do with the drums for this section. The heaviest MH song for me!

      Just saw MH two nights in a row - they were amazing. Matt is a brilliant drummer - such a great set. And yes “hear me now !!” as the OPENING song - OMFG

    Saw machine head with Dave and Phil on catharsis in 2018
    And machine head with you in Huntsville back in 2020, great shows each time

    Hi, I have to say that I´m fan of Dave McClain´s work during his time in MH, I really like his drumming, feel, creativity. And I also like the drum parts of this song, very creative. But you are such a good, precise, clean and technical drummer,...very good job :)

    I’m going to be practicing this song for a new drum cover video.
    I’m not the best drummer so the quick double bass part will be alittle difficult and won’t be perfect even if I’m playing on an electric kit. But I’ll still learn it and play it and make it fun for myself to play. Even if I have to make small changes

      You should definitely try out the Yamaha FP9’s - they’re amazing! Yamaha really stepped up in the pedal game with them.
      And if you can, try out the different pedals before you buy!
