in case you are wondering…

the new drum groove a day (see panel on right) is an idea I have been playing with for a while…it is currently password protected for 2 reasons;

1) I am trying to determine, in my schedule, if I can maintain a daily groove (write, record, produce, upload etc) for publication on the site…and not just do a groove – but consider other formats for various applications as well.

2) It will be a membership only access for a yet to be determined fee, which will give you full access.

the idea will be you will have online access to beats / grooves I produce – to use in your productions.
In all likelihood there will be quite a variety – as I personally love rhythm in many forms.

Here is a slower tempo beat 56 BPM as an example. I will occasionally publish other grooves too – free.

I hope you guys that are waiting for drums and production work can stay patient – I am trying to do a number of musical projects in a number of locations – I hope to be getting a few things out in the next day or 2. In the meantime – why not go on over and buy a song a few hundred times? Here is a little sketch named tentatively distant sounds

severely driving drums…

spent a lot of time today on a totally new tune – one of the most driving and fuzzy growling concoctions I have ever made. Dunno exactly why I did it – some tentative names might be ‘bang’ ‘bones’ ‘ho’ or ’skrugs cacophony in A” – will post something later.

Drummer

There has been some interest in my past projects, different bands I have worked in, equipment I use etc. Here is some info;

1) I play a Ludwig drum set, drum sizes: 10×13 / 16×16 Floor / 16 x 18 Floor / 16×26 Bass / 6.5×14 Snare. I also use a GMS bell brass (4X14 +/-) and a Noble Cooley (5X14+/-)..I have (and have used) different electronic stuff, Akai MPD 16, XD-5, Simmons Trixer, Octapad 8, Zildjian hats (mastersound) ride (17″) china (19″), loads of softstuff…I use Barcus Barry and Sure mics – with the occasional akg414.

2) I have worked with a lot of different bands and artists. The Dan H Band was my most involved – and personal favorite, We ended up working with Warner Bros records and doing the “you gonna be a staaaaar” thing, it was a real hoot. We spent time in many world class recording facilities, among them; Paisley Park, Ardent, Wisselord. Dan, Trent and Marty were incredible road warriors, and great musicians, and they all continue on to this day in various aspects of the music biz. Here is a link  to some live concert footage.
