Steel and Glass praciticing “Beneath A Steel Sky”

It’s good to just sit down on the drums and start soloing on them without any preconcived ideas. just letting it happen . It helps your creativity.

I love The Jam Block. I think it adds a lot of flavor to my playing. It’s great for Latin and Rock Grooves.

My drum teacher showed me a technique using the floor tom and single kick drum to get double kick sound for grooves and fills

Working out some new tunes for our video shoot at The Metro East on April 2nd

I have always wanted to add double kick into my playing but never had two Bass drums or a double kick pedal. Just recently the singer in my band gave me his old DW double kick pedal. I’m just starting to integrate it into my playing . It’s going to take many years before I feel comfortable with it and able to play live using double kick. Up until now I have only used one pedal and most of the music I play doesn’t need the double kick, But I have always enjoyed the power and complexity it adds to drumming. i hope to continue learning and developing this into my performance. In the video I’m adding simple patterns on the kick to get started. Fun Stuff!

Practicing some original tunes adding the drum set. It always amazes me at the full melodic and Bass tones that come from The Chapman Stick when Steve is playing.
