DRC on new Trailer Park Girls recording

Hey all!!,
Just finished trax for the new "Live in Studio" Trailer Park Girls recording. It was great to get to record live "off the floor" with just a couple of mics and no mistakes tolerated. Just three guys (Doug Clark-gtr,, Joe Brasch-gtr., And myself-Snare, high hat and occassional tambourine) and one engineer/ producer (Dave Cebert-Cue 11 head honcho) working together in basically the same room, tons of mic bleed, and plenty of good vibe. I think you'll dig it.I'll keep you posted on it's release date!!

NWPF a huge success!!!

The NW Percussion festival weekend was a huge success! Great music, inspirational clinics, wonderful camaraderie, it had it all. Brad Dutz and his artistry were phenomenal! Tons of technique, creativity, and a true gentleman. Just a great guy to be around. (His chime solo, pandeiro rolls, and bones solos were unreal!!) Zivkovic was great, a true master of the instrument and a wonderful performer. He really got the most out of the group!! I hope some of you can get the chance to attend and participate in the following years.
