live performance.
Drums & Musical Direction & Playback.
DRUM the Jewels. An assortment of Run the Jewels music; interpreted for live drums.
Hybrid Drumming. This is meant to be a test of integrating live AND electronic drum elements. Using Ableton, the idea is that samples & triggers will cycle in quick succession; allowing more elements to be performed & recreated in a live scenario.
Training Day. Playing through the bands entire 2018 summer tour set - in less than 10 minutes. Recorded in one full take with no comping or edits.
