The Songs I have posted are mostly just a sample of a couple of sessions I worked on with some friends
"John David Palmer" the singer and for most part the writer of the songs .... together with Dave Turner(bass) Paul Burke(Guitar) Myself on drums and the studio owner/engineer Vinnie Strokis helped put the finishing touches on the project..... given the raw structure of the music I feel I was able to help guide the songs to there final form and also lay down some good solid drum tracks that represent some of my ablitys useing not only the drum kit but also a varitey of other percussion insruments.....
the 4th posted song is from the Kids album I did with my friend Randy Smith "The Musicsmith"..... for the most part the songs came about with Randys 2 kids (Hanna and Cameron) ...... Randy would then perform some of the songs at school in thier classrooms..... then Mr. Smith got the idea he needed to record these jems atleast for himself and possible more.... I'm honored that he thought of me as a Big Kid as well, and asked for my thoughts and input on the songs and arrangements..... so a couple of days to listen to some rough recordings and one or two get togethers in his basement and we were ready for the studio..... check out more of the story on the website musicsmith4kids.com
as for the song "What If"...... it was basiclly a Marimba sequence created by Randy and I played all the other Percussion sounds ..... with help on the handclaps...
