Derek came into the studio with a strong performance of “In Bloom” by Nirvana. Released in 1991 on the groundbreaking album Nevermind, this song remains one of the band’s most iconic tracks. The original drummer, Dave Grohl, is known for his explosive power, precision, and unmistakable heavy-hitting style. His drumming on “In Bloom” features tight grooves, dynamic fills, and the kind of high-energy playing that helped define the sound of 90s rock. It’s an excellent song for developing consistency, power, and control behind the kit.
