laid down a sweet groove in ‘fool in the rain’. Given the weather today – and a slight desire for something of a bombastic beat I did my own version
at your service, the links on the right will give you some more info on my artistic preferences.
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.

ok – so I was reading an interview by Page and Jones and they described the simplicity of their set up on When The Levee Breaks, possibly the most sampled drum beat ever. I took note of their description, went into my basement studio, recorded my drums, used a ribbon and tube mic acoustic mirror (on different levels of 2 story stairway) on sound forge – ran it through a delay, and compressed the works…I decided to add a guitar solo to test my shredding abilities – and really, this is not so much about melodic content as it is about sonic timbre – so here you go…it takes a few reps to gather the steam – and then rolls down accordingly…this one is called ‘hilltop’ .
