Sage recorded another song during his weekly drum lessons, performing "When I Come Around" by Green Day in the studio. Originally released in 1995 as the fourth single from Green Day's breakthrough album "Dookie," "When I Come Around" became one of the band's most successful songs and remains a staple of alternative rock and pop-punk playlists. The song spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, making it one of Green Day's biggest radio hits of the 1990s. Written by lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, "When I Come Around" was inspired by a temporary breakup between Armstrong and his future wife, Adrienne. The song's relatable lyrics and memorable guitar riffs helped establish Green Day as one of the defining bands of the punk rock revival. The original drummer on the recording is Tre Cool, whose energetic yet controlled playing style helped shape Green Day's signature sound. While "When I Come Around" features a more laid-back groove than some of the band's faster songs, it challenges drummers to maintain consistent timing, control dynamics, and lock in with the feel of the song.
