Drum Room: The Bunker
/Here's somewhat of a panorama of the drum room at the bunker. You can see the string room to the left and the vocal booth straight back (with Ben Brody playing guitar). What a great place to record! Click to enlarge.

Studio tomorrow!
/
So excited to hit the studio with PitchBlak tomorrow. We are recording at the Bunker which is seriously my favorite studio in all of the world. In addition to amazing rooms and gear, the vibes are just perfect and make for an experience that I've yet to find anywhere else. Here's a picture of me and Melissa with Aaron Nevezie (who is also tracking the PitchBlak record) from when we recorded The Beginning at the old Bunker. Also, check out this video of me and Melissa laying down some organ for the track, Learn to Say Goodbye. That was a musical experience that I'll never forget.
Drum Jam: Sugar Shack
/Last night, I didn't have a gig so I hit the practice room instead. I had a good time jamming along to an underplayed Phish song, Sugar Shack, from their 2009 album, Joy. It has some fun latin grooves and alternates between 4/4 and 9/4 (or 9/8, 4/4+5/4, etc... depending on how you want to look at it). I decided to come up with my own part rather than recreate what Jon Fishman plays. Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
