This is a drum cover for 'Totla Mad', by Periphery. This is probably still one of my favorite Periphery songs ever. That first album still has a very special sound for me, and I listen to songs from it all the time. Also... I've wanted to cover this song for almost a decade now, but I never had time to sit down and fully learn it properly. I definitely didn't play certain things exactly like the album or the original version, but this was an incredibly fun song to learn.
If you're interested in having me drum on your next release, please feel free to visit anupsastry.com for more information.
