SIKES is the solo project of Brian Howe, also an accomplished graphic artist. Blending elements of hip-hop, metal and electronica, this was an interesting and enjoyable session. The album has 'flares' of live drums throughout it, thus the abundance of transitions in these videos.

I completed this project in June, between SEA tours. It was my first 'professional' session out of my home studio.

Notes:
Choruses -- A cool tom-tom melody repeats throughout; this was originally programmed by Brian
Bridge (1:26 - 2:02) -- Neat build-up section that kinda reminds me of Travis Barker; a simple groove follows

Full drum set transcription:

Tempo change (0:36 - 1:01) = 157 BPM
Tempo change (1:15) = Back to 160 BPM
Tempo change (2:06) = Back to 157 BPM
