Q = "Ok, wasting our time again Andy"? A = No, this is good stuff
Last month, we were asked to get involved with a project called "Beatloaf". It's run by two pro London based session players (Aaron Graham & Jon Warren) who have been putting out low budget drum groove/fills/licks "show & tell" videos just for fun. The style is very informal, & without realising it, the two guys are very funny together.
Anyhow, Pete Miles, who runs Middle Farm Studios (where we record our Guru Session videos), decided to take Beatloaf on board, place it in an informal but professionally recorded environment, & put out a weekly video series that players can subscribe to - for free. It's not only informative stuff, delivered in a real world way by two great players, it's a ton of fun too!
Here's the best bit, episode 9 features our very own David Floegel as a guest artist, & episode 10 features me as a highly reluctant guest player (more about that peer bullying experience later).
Just for now, here's a few video screen shots to give you a flavour of the setting. Episode 1 & 2 will be released this coming Monday (12th), & I'll put up a link then. Also the subject of a full feature in Drummer Magazine. I really hope you can all get on board with this - it's fun!
This is not a Guru Drums thing, we merely provide the drums, & for convenience, the sessions are bolted onto ours, & run into the night. One take - mistakes "n" all!!!
