Nashville Session Drummer Sets Up For Remote Sessions In Los Angeles Studio!

[iPhone Audio]

Setting up for remote sessions with new Ludwig Limited Edition Mahogany Club Date Toms and fresh Remo Clear Emperor heads. Fun to just noodle around the kit before I miced up everything. The studio was sounding amazing and I was like a kid. Yeah, just free flowing.

99% of the time, if I'm behind a drum kit, I'm in record playing on a record. Not a lot of time to noodle. I'm getting paid to play songs. Commercial songs. Songs that don't need noodling, if you know what I mean.

I would love to see a video of my heros just jacking around and "noodling" in the studio...not being perfect.
