My brother in law Chris has been wanting to release an album since “Everybody Knows Your Name” went out a few years back.  I’ve had the good fortune of being selected to play drums on said album so Chris and I have spent a pile of time over the last couple weeks arranging and recording drums for 9 of the songs that’ll be on the album.

I definitely recommend every drummer does at least some recording and arranging in a studio.  It gives you a chance to really think-through every fill, hitch, kick pattern, whatever that you do without thinking when you’re playing live or jamming with a band.    It’s a great way to study and refine how you play.

Site re-build:

I love this WordPress install so much I decided to base my entire (photography, music, portfolio, etc.) site off of it.  So I’ve moved some stuff around and changed some links and sub-domains to get it working the way I like and I have to say:  Wordpress is awesome.  Tons of support, support, super easy to setup and tweak.  It’s great, and I highly recommend it as a basic content management system.
