thanks. the band is my own so that really means alot to me. i play guitars keyboards and bass. not all at the same time though.

lets see where to start.
its funny that i got into recording to work on my own music but it quickly turned to working on other peoples music so i could by better gear for my music. finaly ended up leading to a career so unfortunatly my music sometimes gets put on the back burner for a while when i need to pay the bills. i got the chance to do this song when i over booked studio time for another band i was producing at the time.

first off the scratch tracks for the song had been done for over a year before we even got to working with the band. (vox guitar and reason drum part) the first real part we tracked was the drum kit. the studio i had booked belonged to a friend of mine who produced hip hop and new age/enigma, needless to say recording drums was not a priority for him. we squezed the drum kit into an iso booth.

now the gear.

the drums are a great yamaha birch custom absolute with custom ordered tom sizes. its a fantastic sounding drum kit. the cymbals were all K custom darks except for paper crash, and a k custom jazz ride. we spent a lot of time picking thorugh cymbals but the k custom crashes won every time.
