The first vid of my "sessions" series of videos on YouTube. These are generally sessions that I do of original tunes for various artists as opposed to cover tunes. Therefore, the drum tracks are completely original, so please ask away when it comes to why I made certain musical choices. IE - Why that fill there? Why that orchestration? Why that sticking? What effects are you using? or even just, What was that fill you played at x:xx?

This is another session for Fayeed Tan's latest album project. This was recorded back in September of 2016, pre studio room sound treatment. I used the Transient Master plug in by Native Instruments to control the reflections of the room.
