Todd is such a class act. I did concert catering for years, and approached him in the catering line to chat about one of the instructional videos he had made where he's playing a sick custom set outside next to a river. He ended up having lunch with me and talking life, drums, and touring for about 2 hours. Turned out I had sold him a cymbal some years prior when I worked at the Clearwater Sam Ash. Small world, and no surprise he absolutely nails it.

I love that you caught the not-so-subtle nod to Neil Peart in the chorus with the ride cymbal work. That was a signature of his, and he said in a couple interviews that he really dug that Taylor threw that in there. As a huge Rush fan, that just made me like the Foos even more.

The humbleness I see from these musicians on Drumeo is astounding. Like a scientist at a convention saying to an audience; ‘I’m sure there’s tens of people in the audience who is more knowledgeable on these subject’, they’re downplaying their expert skill out of respect for the original drummer. Then they proceed to kill it.

Within the first 20 seconds of Todd's rendition, I stopped watching & just started reading the comments, letting the music play in the background. He nailed it so well, it felt like I was just listening to the song while wanting to see what other viewers thought of his excellent performance. It was so good, I literally forgot I was watching a dude play this live on his first attempt.

It's like he said: the "strange" parts (as in never heard or played parts for each drummer) are the hardest because we tend to take time to internalize those details on the surface before we dive in too deep in the process of learning a song. If we're supposed to learn it and play it exactly like it was recorded, then it demands more attention and repetition. Apart from the obvious slips, which are understandably part of getting acquainted with the song structure, he absolutely nailed everything else: power, groove and time, as usual. Todd is a legend.
