Monkey Plans for Nigel

Well, the band was playing a hidden concert at Ball State University a few nights ago, and the crowd just wanted the drums to be played for some reason. Just a drum solo song. But the drums were made of sparkly plastic, so the resonance was lousy. But thank goodness, there was this guy named Russ, who came out of the crowd and he started playing the drum part for "wer'e only making plans for Nigel" the one that Primus recorded. And his arms were swinging around like an ape's and he behaved as an ape, actually. He was playing a double kick drum with only one kick.
Sadly, there was a bus accident a little while earlier when some of the Ball State bus drivers decided not to slow down going under this turnpike, and they hit a baseball player on vacation. We thought his arm was broken and we all went and spend the night in the hospital with him, watching TV all night long. And it turned out that he was okay. But, man, Russ kept on playing that song and he never stopped for probably an hour. He looked like a bear, kindof, with all his hairy arms and neck, but so much like an ape, too, as I said before.
I think that was the secret because we looked up the drum part on Guitar Hero part whatever and they are basically impossible- hit each tom twenty times per second is what it requires, and it doesn't sound like it would be so complicated.
