The intro on the cd starts with Danny on his electric drums then comes Adam letting feedback through his amp (Marshall JCM-800), but if your covers it, Adam just lets feedback through his amp so just do that, don’t worry about the electric drum intro. I just saw them live in Boston so there is no doubt that this is exactly how Adam plays it.
Here’s the song…
