So I've been practicing and I keep my promises.  I said I would do it and I did.  The whole point of this video is to highlight active playing adapting with all the tools I've taught so far.  So this is like an APEX video.  Basically taking all I got and throwing it into something that isn't Irish music, but giving it some stuff I've learned from Irish music.   This was a hoot to practice.  I spent 2 weeks listening to this piece on my MP3 player and spent about 3 days trying different recordings and this was the one that worked for me.

All in all, not bad!  Again, I have my trusty busty CH Coreline Bullet model.  The smaller drum makes it way easier to adjust to pitch and follow with a walking bassline.
