Since you enjoyed our previous Tool drum lesson so much, we figured you’d dig this one too. Aaron Edgar is back again to teach the bridge of Tool’s “The Pot”. This section consists of a displaced kick drum pattern played over a regular 4/4 groove. It can be a bit of a mind twister at first!

And hey! We have the full song breakdown and transcription inside Drumeo, so check it out!
