Here we are for March issue of BEFORE I FORGET,
column You can find on DRUMSET MAG magazine, with all the transcriptions of the grooves I'm going to play.
This month we talked about Dream Theater's "Awake", published in 1994.
Before playing the intro section of "6:00" I wanted to suggest the study of a couple of bars of accents,
on which is fundamentally based this intro made-up by Mike Portnoy.
In the first bar we have to play first and third 16th note in the first beat, first and fourth in the second beat,
the fourth 16th note in the third beat and finally the second in the fourth and last beat of the bar.
Regarding the second bar, we have to change only the third beat: instead of playing the fourth 16th note, We'll play the third one.
