Description:
About a year ago I uploaded a song called "17/8 Jam Draft." It was an experiment in trying to create a jazzy/fusion type of piece in a really bizzare time signature. I managed to get something happening... recorded each part of the drum kit with a single mic and the same with the piano... but left it open for a solo instrument. A few people had a go at it, but no one came through with a final product.
Anyway... many months later, with better recording equipment... a new skin on my snare drum... better attempts at solos... and better techniques at making it sound like I was actually playing this for real (well the piano is live... but kinda shows it... it takes enough brain power to count properly let alone play a decent solo)... and I've come out with a much more final product.
Hope you enjoy this, and listen out for the drum solos starting at 1:18 and 3:00
Hardware:
My Piano, My Drumkit, My Recording Equipment and a COWBELL!

So live sounding &mdash 12/24/06 - 04:02:04 AM
Astounding stuff Bryan - it really does sound live, and your playing on everything is perfect really. Clearly you have far too much time on your hands tobe able to figure this out : ) I couldn't even keep up the count just listening for heaven's sake.
Have you seen the "MJ Drum Challennge" forum thread? Sounds right up your alley - from where I sit, you look like the Aussie rep : )
Have a great christmas and new year,

Wow - listening pleasure from the first note to the last.
I like the sound of your instruments - even the Cowbell :)

At Montreux? &mdash 12/29/06 - 04:21:01 PM
Nice live sound. Reminds me of the crowds on the tune "Compared to What" on the Eddie Harris/Les McCann album "Live at Montreux". It's hard to make those odd time signatures not sound mechanical, but here you did a good job. Must have been fun putting this one together. [ Reply to This ]

Wonderful dynamics and changes - and quite a trick to make it all sound live the way you do. You don't sound limited in any way here - you really make playing in this time signature sound quite easy! [ Reply to This ]
