Thanks, Randolph. "The Rhythm's Going To Get You" is one of my favorite songs to punch to, because the name really defines the speed bag, as well as [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8DS1scYdqU]"Turn The Beat Around"[url]

Honestly I miss all the time. Sometimes worse than others, but the key is getting back on beat in a couple of punches and keep going.

Times past I used to punch as many takes as necessary to try and get one full clean take with no mistakes, (hard to do over a 4 or 5 minute song) but then I decided the mistakes actually prove this is all completely improvised. Imagine how hard it would be to know exactly what combo you did in a song having over 300 measures. Like a drummer dropping a stick, you just have to grab another and keep playing.
