> Softened, and added beat holds.
> Moved some taps at the beginning to better indicate the next spin.
> Changed up some of the build-ups to feel nicer.

Like all the songs in my High Tea Spree, this ended up being a very interesting one to chart. I think I remember starting out not really knowing how to go about with charting the intro, but once I did, I was really with how it turned out. It was really nice to have taps involved in the drums rather than just the beats, which is how I'd usually do things. Though when it came to build up doot-doot sorta bit (I'm sure you know what I mean) I found myself being quite befuddled, because I really wanted to make every "doot" a tap, but I knew that without movement that would feel boring, and with movement, some people probably would struggle and not like it. I had to call upon the idea that this is a rhythm game based on movement, which helped me ditch the all-taps idea in favour for some match notes. Though when that "doot-doot" sequence returned in the drop, I was once again, befuddled. I wanted to make it more intense than the buildup, to fit with the intensity of the drop, so I decided to call upon my trusty spins, but (in retrospect) what that ended up doing was make that section especially had and a bit confusing, the spins did not work well for the doots. But, not having any alternative ideas I liked, I decided to leave it be for now.
Also, in writing that I realised, I hadn't mentioned how I felt about the first section of the drop. I think I came up with the idea for it in the shower... Anyway I think it turned out great. Though I know some people will probably be a bit iffy with the movement into taps, I still felt that were fun, and represented the music well. This is too much text now, Imma move on to part 3.
