As a drummer I’m offended by that last comment

Oh dang Animl we have a common ground!

Me about 25 years self taught using Metallica videos.

I haven't checked the exact tempo, but they're close. The B music is 3/4 time but they should fit pretty well edited together

A drums intro for a few seconds
B music
A drums outro

This is just my songwriting/producing blood getting me excited

I started in middle school marching band, learned all the proper rudiments and how to read music. Tried to play like Buggy Guy.

Moved to a full large kit and early hard rock. Was also a stick twirling hotdog. Learned that solo, then worked on Tommy Aldrige solo. Then Peart came along. <blank stare>

By the 80s I figured I’d make more money mixing sound for many bands than struggling in one as a drummer. But I picked up a lot watching other drummers. Anika Nilles has me captivated

Thanks for all the votes and ideas. B won, and a few of you suggested mixing the two, so that's what we did: A's drums at the start and end, B's music in the middle. The Crew Chief placeholder is gone, and it's now a smooth 60 fps.

Here's the final version:

Haha! Oh its out there for public use!

It sounds like you've got somebody assisting you with the video.

I would suggest making a bunch of 15 second or less videos. Roughly in that area. Post them on Facebook reels, YouTube shorts and instagram. Make them in a vertical format. So people can see them on their cell phone

Do little clips and feature the crew chief. It doesn't take much. People have a very short attention span but they're super effective.

Have a couple of seconds of somebody talking into the crew chief asking how to do something and then bam you're in the air and you see planes getting shot down and then end the clip. Put music with them or whatever. Put out a couple of those a week or try to. Unless people here to help you with that probably a lot of people would do that

That kind of stuff is super effective.

I’d recommend Dreams by Van Halen, Sammy’s vocals are just the best.  Super talented guy.
