Can't see it.
Just turned 57. After recovering from my broken right arm I'm at the point now where i can play with very little pain. However the 10 weeks that i couldn't play at all, plus all the time I've been putting in at work I just haven't had time to play, and one thing I've noticed, if you don't play consistently your skills diminish. I recorded this video just to get a look at where i'm at now, I use to play this song with ease , but now it's sloppy as heck, Incorrect fills, but I'm posting it as a challenge to myself to get back to where I once was. I'm really going to make an effort to get behind the kit at least 4 times a week for a couple hours each time, more on the weekends and see if i can get the rust off. Please excuse the F word at the very end, I'm my own worst critic and after struggling through the song I was shall we say upset with myself. Recorded with my iPhone 6, Rock on...

You will be fine. I couldn't play for 6-7 weeks after my by-pass and I got back into the flow much faster than I expected.
You will too.
Yes, I agree you sounded pretty darn good man. I know I couldn't play like that lol. I have mellowed a lot over the years. I now play easier stuff than I did 35 years ago when I was young and crazy lol.
Great job. You still have chops. Much respect.
Sounds real good. Wish I could get back to playing like that. It's hard after taking a 35 year break and adding carlpul tunnel to both wrist.
Man if Neil every gets hurt I know who they should call. Awesome playing!

I think you're being way too hard on yourself. I agree with the others. Sounded great! Nice playing sir!!
Sounded great. You've got quite a kit, and some skills to use it with. Good job.
Still way better than I could have played it.
