Also at 2 years it’s highly doubtful you’re playing and/or transcribing Dream Theater or Animals as Leaders at any useful level. This is like a pre-med student assuming they’re ready to perform brain surgery. There are a bazillion little things you need to learn about drumming before attempting to piece them all together fluidly like Portnoy, Mangini, or Garstka.

By a couple years I meant 5ish. If you don't believe me, look up Awaken the Master and count bars of:

• 4+3+3 • 4+3+3+3 • 4+3+3 • 4+3+3+3+3+3

If you still don't believe me, I've a transcription of the intro of The Alien I made. I can show ye. Starts with a triplet nested inside a septuplet. 17/16 which he's playing mostly as 5+5+7 yadayadayada.
