Well tour was fun, then got home to immediately record drums for an album. Grateful for the experiences I get to have and the people I get to have them with. Thank you to anyone who was apart of this tour whether it be the bands, the venue crew and the people who came out to support the scene. Most importantly all the dudes in @laarmada.music for making this tour very special. Mass love ❤️
Oh yea thanks @jsenftphotography for the glamor shot
9 years ago we dropped this little gem. The amount of praise and bullshit we got from this was unreal. We were Banned from every drum magazine (do those still exist?) all because that giant drum company got a little jealous. Keep poking the bear Happy Trash day 👄👄👄⚡️⚡️
@jimkaufmanproductions has THE BEST DRUM SOUND EVER!!🤯🤯 im mind blown every time i hear the @mastersofmaple drums unprocessed. Just the right mics, the most amazing preamps in the history of mankind and ultra boutique outboard, it’s crazy!!!

Absolutely love working w Z so much. There’s so much symbiotic energy that truly flourished through pure friendship! This song is one of my absolute favorites from the new record “Distant Lands” out June 5th, 2026.
Fun random thing is I played drums standing up for this song, I didn’t think we were gonna keep it, but we did, and I love it. Also just a cascade fathead as front of kit mic. LOVE the gtr tone we got for this song - but a lot of it is Z’s secrets! But we did use my trusty white princess @fender strat 😃
Thanks to @lexrecords@zs_davis
