[beat hit]

Really nice work on the ride.... Like the solo .. Flitcraft seems to enjoy it too.. that's great... Thanks for sharing...

[Steve Holmes]

awesome....Steve are you feathering the bass drum continuously or playing only with the hits/accents?

I think maybe for a short bit changing from backbeat to swing during the bass solo I may have but only for a short time.

Latest improv vid from the Shed.
It's always challenging to try and create a theme, not play the same old stuff (ugh) but instead create new phrases based on them, as well as completely new ideas. I'm pretty happy with the drum sound I'm getting these days, although I don't think I'm terribly objective at this point. I don't know.

Good God, Steve,

You sound FANTASTIC. Flowing like a total badass. And yep, drums sound GREAT too.
Have you moved rooms, or is that still the place off the 101?

Yeah it's in North Hollywood off the 101/134. Great little room.

^^^^ I definitely perceive a performance "arc" with that. Makes it musical.

Haven't watched yet, but the poster frame for #2 is perfection.
