My brain would never allow me to do that ,or any other average drummer .. She's very gifted . There's alot more to drumming than just hitting everything as fast as you can . She didn't even break a sweat but this piece is up there on the difficult meter and making it look easy .. Ronnie knows .

The human brain is not trained to do one thing with the right side of your body and something opposite on the left, then throw in the feet doing opposite things.
Kind of like a great piano player playing a bass line with left and melody with right hand.
Billy Cobham is one of the greatest examples of this kind of gifted drummer.
Guys like Ringo or Joey Creamer would have no clue how to do what she is doing, especially if not in 3-4 or 4-4 time.
