Hey Guys,

A long time ago I picked up this awesome track which Frank Briggs played drums on, it was really bad quality though and I remember that at the time I couldn't find the .mp3 to share so that Frank or anyone else could help me identify the track so I can get a higher quality version. Finally here it is, this is only a one minute clip as I lost the file but still had the song on my ipod, I hooked up my ipod to some speakers then recorded the sound coming out through a microphone hooked up to my computer.

If anybody can help me identify and/or share a higher quality version of this track I would appreciate it as it blows my mind everytime!

Have done a little investigating, the solo I have seems to be over this exact vamp that is featured here:



The version that is on my ipod is 6:06 if that helps to identify the file for anybody.

I forgot the title of the track, but it's from the DVD, and I think that's the only place you can get it. I imagine your audio is ripped from the DVD. E-mail Frank and see if there's a place you can get it. He's also on Facebook. Very personable. He's a member here but he doesn't come around often.

Thanks Gaddabout, yeah the track is called "Electric" and it's off Frank's DVD. Your right about it being ripped off the DVD as well. I've been in touch with Frank and he's already got back to me. He said he'll try and get an .mp3 of it for me. If he doesn't mind, I'll be sure to share on here. Will have to check out that DVD of his as well when I got some more moolah. I just bought China Ranch off itunes and I'm enjoying it! By the way, I was amazed that Frank replied back. I do remember him being on the old forums and offering to help me get this track when I asked for it back then but I wasn't even able to identify the name of it or where it came from at the time. Hopefully it will come through and in good quality as well because the version I had had been ripped off a VHS and was really, really low quality. But I loved having it on my ipod, it's so full of energy!

Briggs has got to be the most accomplished "who's that?" drummer around.
Frank can play drum gymnastics with the best of them but also can lay
down some voluptuous fat thick boned time in the best 'yum yum' of ways.

One of my all-time favs for sure...great human being to boot!

Check this out;

This is brilliant!!
Wow. The sound, feel, touch, sensitivity...
Very cool. Ordering China Ranch now!!
Thanks Frank!

I'm loving track 1 and a track called "Everything!" from China Ranch right now!

Frank Briggs is the total package when it comes to his sense of time, groove, dynamics, musical phrasing and just flat out power. And, he's almost as much fun to watch as he is to listen to.

Beautiful playing and sound in that Guitar Center performance !!
And he has a nice and complete website and studio website.

Frank has been amazing enough to dig up a complete video and .mp3 with and without drums as well as a drum chart for the tune I was inquiring about (Sketch/Electric) from his DVD "Complete Modern Drumset"!

He also provided insight with regards to the recording processes and his thoughts when composing/playing the tune.

Thanks again for doing this Frank! If you haven't picked up his CD "China Ranch", once again its highly recommended....my fav track is "Dessert Rose"!

By the way, China Ranch features.....
