Many years later, I heard drum and bass for the first time. I was particularly struck by a simple drum and bass beat around 160 BPM on a record by LTJ Bukem called "Logical Progression." To play faster, I studied Neil Peart & Buddy Rich and discovered the Moeller technique. I worked very hard on this technique, which became my main tool for increasing speed to match drum and bass tempos. Around 1999, I aimed for 180 to 190 BPM, inspired by a DJ Dieselboy compilation CD.
