Last night in between sets Fishman talked about the drumbeat to Party Time for 10+ minutes. No really.
Turns out it is a 21-bar pattern that cycles with one hand going through a clockwise sequence while the other hand going through a counterclockwise sequence. 1/

This is drum talk that is above my pay grade but one hand is doing Swiss triplets and the other is doing windmills.
It takes about 7 minutes to get through the entire cycle and it is so complex that he's never done it without messing up.
It was fascinating to hear. 2/

After he explained the whole pattern to us in the band I asked him how he plays something that complex while grooving his ass off and asked if he's an alien.
That got a laugh.
He is a musical freak but he wasn't born with it. He has worked his ass off and still does. 3/3

Matt is right. He referred to it last night as "The Ladder".
If I understood his explanation correctly, both hands start at 12 o'clock + it takes 7 minutes of this sequence to get both hands back to that position at the same time.
It broke my brain.
