Ryan Folden, drummer for legendary Italian metal band Lacuna Coil, has provided us with a series of videos demonstrating grooves and sharing tips on how to play songs. In this second installment, he takes you through the live version of “Zombies” which is performed differently than the record. Ryan says, “Over the course of touring and playing the song hundreds of times it is slightly different live than on the record. The bridge pattern demonstrated in the video is what well call the “live version”. The record offers a simpler held-back pattern on the drums. There’s a Spotify playlist of the tune at the end of this
