Aled's notes;

The first in the series of Districts playthroughs from the band's debut ep which was released around a year before I joined in early 2012. 

This was the first track I began learning and I've added a fair bit of detail from the original drum part, while trying to maintain anything integral to the song. 

Notable changes/additions to the original drum part include;

0.17-0.30 - Ghost notes and short fills to add groove, fill in gaps and emphasise guitars. 

1.05- 1.14 - Double kick/tom bursts to differentiate/develop the second half of the chorus

1.55-2.04 - The guys asked me to 'tech this bit up'. Double kick burst while hands emphasise 3/16 feel on guitars and adds to an already intense part of the track. Then 3/16 metric modulation on stack. 

2.24-2.32 - Again to differentiate second half of this section. Double kick gives it a lift, while syncopated toms maintain a groove. 

2.33-2.34 - 7/16 metric modulation 

3.14-3.18 - Metric Modulation on china follows 3/8 'beeps'
