Give Me One Reason

In this captivating cover video, Oria and Glenn Alexander bring their unique style to Tracy Chapman's classic hit "Give Me One Reason." Oria's soulful vocals blend seamlessly with Glenn's masterful guitar work, creating a fresh yet faithful rendition of the song. The performance is further enhanced by the dynamic rhythm section, with Gary Dates providing a solid groove on drums and Chris Plunkett delivering rich bass lines. Together, the ensemble crafts a memorable and engaging musical experience that pays homage to the original while showcasing their own artistic flair.

I've done some recording at Shorefire, and was always impressed with the drum sound. In this video, I was able to pick studio owner/engineer Joe Dimeo's brain about his gear and signal chain. Plus, he has an envious collection of vintage outboard gear! 0:00 Intro 1:08 Helios Console 2:13 Outboard Gear 3:00 Drum-specific Gear 4:25 Signal Chain 6:46 Mics/Drums 13:00 Performance

Shure SM57 vs Beta 98AMP for Snare!

Переглядів 2,5 тис.Рік тому

Due to its incredibly small size and ease of use, I was intrigued by the Beta98 for live gigs for my snare. So I bought it! This is a comparison with the SM57, pretty much the go-to mic for the snare drum. The results were interesting...they are definitely different. Check it out!

I short time ago I made a video in which I played along with a track called "Fusion Express." I first saw it on UA-cam with George "Spanky" McCurdy playing drums, and he was simply amazing. This video is not only my way of appreciating Spanky's incredible performance, but also to turn on you folks who maybe have not yet been aware of him!

Lemon Hi-Hats: Are They Any Good?!

Переглядів 4,4 тис.Рік тому

Ever since I bought the Roland TD27kv version 1 e-kit, I've been very dissatisfied with the hi-hat it came with (VH10). Since the new Roland 14" digital hi-hats were way too expensive at $1149, I wanted to see if the Lemon hi-hats were at the very least, better than the VH10. Here is a link to purchase them if you're interested: bit.ly/3Y6HnMg Here's a link to a very helpful UA-cam video on the...

The Problem With "The Best."

Переглядів 52Рік тому

Striving to be "The Best" is so pervasive in our hyper-competitive culture. Indeed, now that the year is coming to a close it's time for "The Best (insert whatever) in 2022". I submit this kind of thinking is unhealthy and self-defeating. To illustrate this I played the same tune as Spanky McCurdy, who is clearly a monstrous player. I did it my way to the best of my ability, so I don't care if ...
