Song: Velatum
Artist: Serenity
Drums by: JD (originally Andreas Schipflinger)

This is one of those bands that nobody I know has ever heard of, and I wouldn't have found out about them had I not been listening to prog-rock bands on Pandora. For not being as well-known as bands like Dream Theater or Symphony X, I think they are extremely talented, and this song is my favorite of theirs, despite it being one of the "softer" ones from that particular album. The melody sticks with me for a long time after I listen to it.

*I've gotten a few comments on my videos about how they're not really COVERS, per se, and that's entirely true - I don't set out to copy exactly what the original drummer played; that would be boring! Instead, I just adhere to the basic framework of the song, usually staying pretty true to the original drum part but adding my own flavor here and there. Also, feel free to comment and say whatever you like (even if it's critical), but please try to keep the comments family-friendly!

Hope you enjoy!
