Monuments Drummer Soundchecks with Leprous for 'The Price'

Baard from Leprous asked me if I'd like to soundcheck a song with the band, and I gladly accepted!
This was a great opportunity in my head to test my reading skills, so I purchased a PDF transcription online, and listened vaguely to the song a little. I purposely didn't "learn" the song before this, to see how well I could read.
I found it harder than I expected, mainly because this chart was quite nasty in its system layout and lack of accurate rhythmic proportions. I think it's important for me to improve my reading ability with charts I don't create, to unlock opportunities to play complex music from other peoples charts in the future.
Thanks again Baard & Leprous for giving me the opportunity!

You really attempted to sightread a Leprous song, and I thought Baard Kolstad was a madman 😂😂😂

[thedutchdjentleman]

The fact that this is sightread is even more insane.

First with TesseracT and now Leprous. You're nailing everything, Mike!

[tarkenton]

Malyan in non-malyan bands is always tops. The Tesseract Portals set really blew me away with your take of the parts, and this was also sick af

[DiegoPujolT]

Damn, you could really sub for anyone in prog, and still have a unique sound.

My band needs a drummer, Mike, is there an opening in your agenda soon? It's mostly AC/DC and Metallica covers.

Saw you guys (and Leprous and Kalandra ofc) in Bristol, easily one of the best shows I've ever been to
