Probably the first of a few posts. I learned some new drum recording tips, had a lot of laughs, made some new friendships, consumed a lot of tasty goodness, detoxed reality, and overall got inspired @windmillweekends . It was a first for visiting the 🇬🇧

A special thanks to @farranlisa for letting me sneak away.

I bootlegged some of these photos from @julian.badcock and @phraktle 📸

🚨New Music🚨
‘Improvisations In Sound & Rhythm, Vol. 2’ is now available on @bandcamp and everywhere music is streamed, except Spotify. This is a collection of beats, loops, and audio-processing experiments to document my musical journey. All of the tracks were done at my home studio, which is used for remote drum recording.
Thanks to everyone who listened to Vol. 1 and encouraged me to keep on this path 🙏
Shout out to my daughter, Valerie, for making the album cover.

This weekend is the @chicagodrumshow . I typically go, but I need to miss it this year. It looks like it’s going to be a good one and I bummed to miss @markguiliana
I had never been to @maxwelldrumshopchicagoland . They had an open house for @slingerlanddrums last night so I went to fulfill my show itch. The place is amazing! 🥁

I'm second-guessing my snare drum & tuning choice for an upcoming @raisedonzenith tune now that some of the other parts are tracked. Does this ever happen to you?
This is a 1976 Ludwig Acrolite, tuned lower, with some dampening. It kinda sounds like an artificial sample in this context.
Back to the drawing boards...

Tonight’s setup to track some @airthissideofcaution drum tracks…
I changed some things so it’s easier to swap out drums 🥁

We recorded this tune called “When You Were Mine” at JAMDEK during the same session as our Tiny Desk Contest submission. This is a song about persisting in the face of and protecting the ones you love from the constant horrors and disappointments of modern life. May it help you in your journey to do just that. ❤️♥️🖤💜

To think I’ve almost sold this snare drum 🥁 on two different occasions🤦🏻♂️ I find this 5x14 1978 @officialtamadrums steel 8005 Imperialstar King Beat is happy in this tuning range 🤷🏻♂️

I had a fun discussion about EDM and Hip-hop at dinner this week with @mjay1977 and @desmonds92
Mjay recommended imitating this beat, is anyone familiar with the song that this is from? 🥁
