This is a collection of drum solo pieces I've been developing. All tracks are recorded live to hard disk recorder with the exception of "Hands on the Boom" and "Dop Do" they we're recorded straight from the mixer of my p.a. to cassette. I'm using a four piece acoustic kit with a 8 piece electronic expansion kit. No over dubbs or loops on any tracks.

This is the preproduction work for a solo project I'm working on. I'll probably begin recording the final tracks towards the end of August.

	Drum Solo. This piece I'm using my hands on my 4 piece acoustice kit to create a world/ percussion feel. I'm close micing the kit to capture the overtones of the drum and the pitch bends. I'm letting floor tom ring to add a little bass to piece. Hence the title Hands on the Boom. The boom is the booming/ringing floor tom.
