Some of Metallica's early work holds the key to a good pumping strategy.

Some soft, easy rythmic pulses. In and out, grind to the left, grind to the right, nice and easy, slow and steady.

After tension is successfully and steadily built, Lars' drum beats start pounding and Kirk's guitar starts wailing (much like you hope your lady to do).

I'm not advocating listening to Metallica to make love to, I'm just saying keep a tune in your head as a blueprint.

ROCK ON!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!
