In this video you&#8217;ll not only see him play through &#8220;Give Blood&#8221;, but you&#8217;ll get a breakdown of his drum parts and hear stories about what it was like recording the track for the legendary Pete Townshend: &#8220;the session that should have never happened&#8221;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(P.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/28090334\/pete-townshend-give-blood-1654284676.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the &#8220;Give Blood&#8221; sheet music PDF here<\/a>!
