        I think it's interesting how everyone has commented on the use of the drum solo under the montage, but me...I was captivated by the solo itself as it sounded familar to me. Had anyone identified if it was based on a real drum solo? Because it really sounds like the Drum Duet track on Genesis' album, "Genesis Live: The Way We Walk, Vol. 2 (The Longs).
