you're so AWESOME ...( 1 year ago by lovemusicsomuch)
you're so AWESOME man, omg *huge grin*, this makes me so happy!! I'm MADLY IN LOVE W/ THIS SONG. and u handle it so well. I highly admire drummers, especially ones who handle tough rhythms, like u. I'd LOVE to be caught sitting at a drumset, banging away. instead, I had a Yamaha keyboard just sitting here waiting for me to create a magical melody, which HAS happened already I'm happy to say. I'm not a good player tho. that's why Keane & Coldplay are such inspirations to me.
Nice job, Mike. ...( 1 year ago by Oggy99)

wow this is cool that other people can appreciate that drum part, i'm only 18 and when i discovered Yes a few years ago the drum part during that build-up intro just made me melt. It's really cool seeing someone play it.

Wow, I'm amazed! Not only by the complexity of this piece, but also that you have the balls to play it :o
I only wish that the sound quality was better, though! :/ Totally 5 *'ed

Hi Chrishotdog8888,
Thanks for the comment and for appreciating the awesome music of YES. I actually changed the very begining to paradiddles between Hi-Ht and Snare shortly after posting this video. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks...Mike

Hi Menfis92,
Wish I could help you but, I do not use charts or drum tabs at all. I figure out all of the songs I play by ear and feel. That's why I am not a verbatim player. I believe in creative freedom, while trying to keep the integrity of the original part. Thanks for the compliment.....Mike

Awesome job, Mike ... Bill Bruford is my most favorite drummer, right up there with Billy Cobham ... you did GREAT ! Thanks .. absolutely the greatest song .. wow. Hard to play but you pulled it off big time !
Great Job! I ...( 8 months ago by jbradshaw1)
Great Job! I thought in the beginning part Bill Bruford plays a paradiddle diddle between the hi and snare. By doing grace note on the snare part really captures what Bruford was doing....i think.

Hi beeshot,
I have been listening to Billy Cobham since I was about 13. I was in a band in High School called Spectrum. It was pretty much all Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke, Mahavishnu and Return to Forever music. I saw Stanley Clarke last year at the Imac Theater in Huntington, WOW was that awesome. Thanks for the comment. Be well. Mike

see no sense in copying bruford ´s figures. even bruford himself didn´t copy his studio drumming when playing live.
