| Hey Tchad!
Hello Tchad! Not sure if you remember a recording with a band called The Wild Colonials back in 1994--we tracked the whole record in a day and it was the the one moment in my drumming career that changed my life. At that point in my life I had only worked with a few engineers and it was the usual set my drums -play a bit---get sounds---record a little drums and go into the control room and check the sounds......my experience with you was all the above except that I had a binaural head staring at me -you also had an amazing Remo singleheaded 18" kick drum that I played and a beautiful 1920's Black Beauty------- when I went in to listen to my drums I felt like I had taken some kind of hallucinogenic---It was the drum sound I had always fantasized about but had no idea how to get...I asked how you got the sound and I remember you showing me the Sansamps on each side of the binaural head going into LA2a's--When I got home I immediately bought a Sansamp and started making 4 track recordings with one mic going through the Sansamp--I realized that when you have the sound of the sansamp in your headphones the drums become a totally different instrument and you play off the sound --alot like a guitarist plays off of distortion or any other effect--it is definitely an inspirational sound.....Thanks!!!
