Ok first: You rock! This a difficult song to play and This is a perfect cover of Copeland's drumming.
Congratulations!!!
So you'll just need To loose it a bit, get cooler. You know it by heart, So trust yourself and relax.
Because, the only thing you need is To be able To look and interact with people while playing.
So try To practice the song the chin up looking at the opposite wall. And later, while singing the lyrics To yourself for exemple. The goal is To gain some reflex on the drum part, in order that what ever happens, your body Will carry on playing.

I hope my tips Will help you ;)

Lajeannette thank you so much.......this is a very usefull comment. I still have some time to practise before I need to play it on that party. So the next time I practise I'll try to work on the relaxing part and maybe singing along with the lyrics might help indeed (however I find singing and drumming very hard but nobody will hear me sing  right:) )

Only thing is that I never played in front of people so I most probably will tense up again then......but the only way to get over that is to just do it I guess:) Thank again and I'm sure your tips will help me.
