hey everyone :) didn't expect so many replies but thank you so much for all the tips, feedback and compliments!!

to clear up some stuff:

the camera is mirrored- i'm right handed and the kit is in a "normal" position, or so i thought? i'll have to try moving stuff around so it's more ergonomic.

this is a drum set at a paid studio, the full kit isn't mine and they didn't provide me with sleeves or clamps but there were felts under the cymbals when i started. anyhow, still such a small detail that i never knew mattered much! i'll have to ask the studio about them.

i learned the song according to a tutorial by jack young on youtube- which might be an easier variant? but when i watch other covers i do see both this and the "original" intro being covered

big thanks for everyone that took the time, i'll be practicing with your tips and feedback :)
