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.
