Man... This past month has been a friggin' whirlwind. I refuse to believe November is nearly gone.
Anyway... Jesse and I are almost done with our debut Christmas album, "Herod the Fink", and while recording the last drum session, I thought it might be cool to see what I look like when I play. Well, as fate would have i...

Life is Good
AudioGuru
Yeah, I'm tired, but man - life is good. I spent way too much time on our Herod The Fink project last night (and into the wee-hours of this morning), but it was so worth it. We are really cranking to release a truly unique Christmas album. My only regret is that we didn't start this sooner, so we could get more content. But ...

Jazz Goodness...
Drummer
I just got done playing some sweet jazz for a client, and with the usual rock 'n' roll requests coming in, this was a great change of pace.
I'm always intrigued at the different nuances that exist between styles of music as it pertains to rhythm and percussion. Rock and roll pounds out some great 4/4 along the occasional 3/4 timing, with so...

Advanced Online Drums!
PoeticIntensity
A few months ago, I thought I'd get a bit more serious about setting up a semi-professional studio in my home. It's worked out great, so far!
As I've worked with clients, they've been more than happy with the results, and I'm learning new techniques and tricks of the trade at the same time. So far, so good.
So, along this trail, I b...

Remo Ambassador Black Suede
Drummer
Through the 20 plus years I've been playing drums, I've had all sorts of drumkits, and I've used all sorts of heads. Well, it came time to replace my snare head recently, and I was offered a new type of head by Remo.
The Remo Ambassador Black Suede is a single-ply head which is meant to offer a softer sound without muffling the inherent res...

Clockwork vs Groove
Drummer
From the first memories I have, my life has been lived through rhythm. There has always been an inherent "groove" of my life. From walking down the sidewalk after school when I was in Jr. High, pacing the rhythm of the lines in the cement, and timing my steps accordingly, keeping the "1,2,3,4" clock in my head going ...

My poem

(poem)
It's a new day,
And so I must fight.
Fight for my right live!
As time gose on,
I know my suffering will be small.
But why must I stuggle at all?
Time will go on,
And soon I'll be,
Just another scar on your heart.
Am I so alone?
My sadness and pain,
I'll never show.
But will time go on for me?
Can there be light behind my sorrow...

Jason and his brother have made it a tradition to scare as many people as possible on Halloween, but they will have to start that up again next year.
