Tuning, low to high: D-G-C-F (full step down)

but he does play some of them live. Pinnella only has two hands, you know.

This part can be a little tricky. It's all in 4/4, and I've notated the beat for 

each bar. An alternate way of nailing the timing in this section is to count the 

number of bass drum hits between each strike.
