Hear Me Now - Drum Cam

I had the honor & privilege of tracking a song for one of my very good friends, Bill Cornelius, of Halangarde Pictures.

Lyrically I pulled from the experiences of those vulnerable enough to share their stories for the documentary “Hear Me Now”.

Thank you to Bill & Steve for visually capturing the session & for believing in a few dudes to rock out a song for you guys!

YUGE thank you to Brook for sonically capturing the soul of this track. Thanks for putting up w/ my mistakes & dancing skills.

Personal gear used are my 80’s MIJ TAMA Kingbeat snare, 16" istanbul Agop traditional light hi-hats, 18” Sabian AAXplosion crash & 20” Meinl Byzance sand ride.

Below is video of my time in The Studio in Nashville, TN recording the title track “Hear Me Now”.

The Early Reset at Exit/In

I'm surrounded by incredibly talented artist in this town. Steven Arthur is easily on top of the list. So when he asked me to play drums for this show...the answer was simple.

Steven is the man behind everything for his band The Early Reset. I'm pretty sure there is always a song being crafted in his head 24/7. And I would put money on it that every one of them could be a single.

It was a pleasure sharing the stage with him and some good friends of mine.

Here are a couple of songs from our "PopOff Nashville" show in at Exit/In.

Please check out The Early Reset on Spotify and Band Camp!

Steven, you inspire me to create. I think you have that genuine affect with everyone you come in contact with.

Band mates are - Austin Field - guitar. Tim Skipper - bass. Kamber Kigin - pianist.

Slaying the Groove with The George Twins

March 2nd was a good night for me. I had the honor of sharing the stage with The George Twins and Co. The set was full of ghost notes, a broken stick and so much groove. I did my best to bring out the Steve Jordan side of my drumming. I also debuted my 6x14 oyster snare. It was accompanied with a Big Fat Snare Drum Steve's Donut on a few songs. I think it's time for me to purchase one now. 

What made this night more memorable is that it marked a special point for The George Twins. This was their first time playing with a full band. It was one for the books for sure.

Here are a few clips from our show at Rocketown in Nashville, TN.

I believe this was the first time my son watched me play outside of a worship set.
