PRINTER FRIENDLY

Closer to the Edge is the second single from 30 Seconds to Mars' album "This is War" (2010). Drummer, Shannon Leto, plays an evolving drum part throughout the song; each section building on the last.

This excerpt is taken from the second verse (1:55 in the video below) where Shannon plays alternating strokes on the hi-hat, bringing out selected notes on the snare.
