MANIAC - The most INSANE drum pattern of the '80s | Drum Patterns Explained

Video Description

► https://www.patreon.com/captainpikant Support us on Patreon and get access to lots of drum patterns, cheat sheets and more! The drum pattern of Michael Sembello's "Maniac" is positively insane. It's what you'd get if you made a Synthwave drum track, decided it wasn't complex enough, glitched it up with a tiny dash of Aphex Twin and then put a second drum track on top of that with over a dozen Tom fills for good measure. Pure '80s maximalism with two of the most iconic drum sounds of that era.
