Vocalisation as you practice, helps deepen and str Vocalisation as you practice, helps deepen and strengthen the connections between what your limbs are doing and how your mind maps the rhythms. Can help you play more fluidly with enhanced control of independent layers when coordinating multiple rhythms at the same time.

Hip Hop Friday, but on Thursday cos I’m busy tomor Hip Hop Friday, but on Thursday cos I’m busy tomorrow. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Silly faces along to more Reflections Eternal, Talib Kweli & DJ Hi-Tek from the Train Of Thought album, tune called ‘Love Language’. Always loved the groove on this tune but quickly discovered what an awkward changing phrase it was when trying to learn it, repeats every 4 bars with same-but-different bar endings. Fun though!

Rediscovering one of my favourite hip hop records Rediscovering one of my favourite hip hop records from way back when…….. ‘Reflections Eternal’ by Talib Kweli …… this tune called ‘This Means You’. More of these to come, having SO much fun smacking along to these.

Here’s the sounds I got for @tomfromant ‘s tune ‘P Here’s the sounds I got for @tomfromant ‘s tune ‘Preacher & The Wolf’ (up now on his Spotify - link to his profile on my Linktree in bio). 

Really enjoyed working on this one - looking for a big round open sounding kick, a nice thick deep snare, and a kit in general that still felt clear and upfront with enough power to translate whilst still playing gently and tenderly for the song. 

Achieved by playing gingerly into hot preamps across the board, and with some nice saturation on the overheads from my @audientworld  ASP800. A touch of clean-up EQ and on some channels and camp on the drum bus here, but not much else going on.
