I’ve been busy doing various sessions and live gigs the last few months, I never seem to have enough time to keep the news section of the site up to date. Here’s my attempt at summarizing what I have been up to.<\/p>\n
Since my last update in mid-November I have done some one-off dates with the amazing Carole Pope<\/strong> and a boxing day gig with funky\/hip-hop band Cosmic Juice<\/strong>, featuring my old band mate Mike Goyette from Artificial Joy Club<\/strong>. Other dates with Charley Beck<\/strong>, Robert Farrell<\/strong>, J.J. Antrobus<\/strong> and lots of dates with The Long Goners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I will be doing two shows next week with Robert Farrell<\/strong> and Charley Beck<\/strong> as part of Canadian Music Week<\/strong> in Toronto, see the live dates<\/strong> page for details.<\/p>\n Also in November I did some tracking at Dennis Cameron’s studio, DRC Music<\/strong>, outside Ottawa. I also tracked some tunes with a band called Unknown<\/strong> earlier this month at Distortion Studios<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I am also working on a new studio project right now that we are keeping quiet until we get some of the tunes recorded. We’ve been doing pre-production and hope to record in the next month or two.<\/p>\n As far as drum gear goes, I just got one of the Pearl Eric Singer Signature Snare Drums, it’s 10-ply maple shell, and it’s the only snare drum I have been using since I got it. It has a nice warm and rich tone. I also added an 18″x22″ Pearl Masters Studio BRX kick drum to my collection. I wanted to have the option of using different kick drums in different situations.<\/p>\n I have finally added lots of 30-second MP3’s of various recordings I have done with different bands and artists to the audio<\/strong> page. I still have more to out up, but there are quite a few now to keep you busy for a while if you want to check them out.<\/p>\n A few more video<\/strong> clips have been added as well, and more are on the way when I have some time.<\/p>\n Also new on the web site is the Mailing List<\/strong>.
