Why the focus on beats? I am the drummer and this show was my public debut on drums in a serious way. (I technically have played drums in public before, at a record store gig in Winona with Urban Rust when Ben had to leave for an orchestra concert back at St. Mary's. It was amusing.)
Set List As Executed:
