Happy 5 years of being active on YouTube day!  Square Hammer was the first song I heard from Ghost thanks to my good friend Frank for telling me to check them out.  I went down a big rabbit hole and started to love all of their music; not sure if you could tell based off my drum cover choices.  ??  A great majority of Ghost songs fits my drumming style to a “T” and they have some crazy awesome hooks in their songs.  If I had to pick one of my favorite Ghost songs, Faith has to be it.  Such a killer riff!

As a band, I have recorded this song many times and every time, I played it incorrectly during the chorus sections.  I needed to make it right, make it sound the best I can, and that’s EXACTLY what I did with this release here.  Not saying the previous versions were terrible but I guess my standards were a little lower back in the day.  Interested in checking out the full band cover we did of this song?  Check it out on Soundcloud! 

I keep mentioning this BIG project and you are probably wondering what it could be?!  I just can’t give it away and maybe I am building it up too much.  I tell you though, once I release it, I might be done with drum covers for a few months.  ?  I think that’s about all I got to talk about for now.  It’d be great if people left comments on these posts so I know I am not talking to a brick wall.  ?? “Hello brick wall, my only friend…” ??

Here on the website, I have been working in the Downloads section a lot.  I never really like the thumbnail pictures I had for the Toontrack EZX/SDX products.  They were all blurry and mis-aligned, so I took the time to create proper ones that are much sharper & cleaner.  This means I had to edit every single download with the new images. 

Additionally, I added two more Superior Drummer 3 Project files to the download list:  Quietdrive – Time After Time and Skillet – Monster.  I’m getting close to getting all of the projects uploaded, if you don’t see the one you are looking for, just ask.

Lastly, I have refreshed the main logo on the top of this page.  My good friend Steve made many of the graphics that was used for our Red Gear band project and I am trying to redo them to my taste.  I have no idea how to redo the animated logo I use at the start of my videos so I just might have to hire someone on Fivver to recreate it for me.  ?‍♂️

Ok so what about another collaboration?  I’ve been in talks with Heavy In Hawaii to pick another song to collab on; we just might have something in the works.  It’s difficult because we both have very specific tastes in music and we want the performance to showcase what we are capable of.  For him as a singer, the tune has to be in his vocal range.  The song I chose, I think would work great, has a SUPER KILLER RIFF, and is a new release for a pretty popular band!  

I have already started the drum track and got about 75% done.  Maybe I will do the drum cover for this song for the February drum cover release…we’ll have to see how Heavy In Hawaii is progressing with the tune before I make that decision.  Aside from that, hope you guys have a great new year and love to hear your comments about this website!
