This didn't take long at all to map out, and lay down
John Donovan - drums
It's fun to sing along with!
I'd love to play with a band that takes things are serious as I do, and still have fun with it :)
My P!NK Demo
4-12-01
I'm surprized how good this turned out, considering it's just me and the CD!
John Donovan - drums
I love the groove on this one, I really do.
Check out how cool I made the intro!
I can't help but love that most of the crashs are on beat 2 :).
Mr. Rad and the High Speed Racers
Fall of 1999
Janos Smogi - Bass and vocals
Joe Nagel - guitar
John Donovan - drums
This one has a nice musical, note filled drum solo in the middle, my personal favorite.
A happy swinging Jelly Bean song with amusing lyrics and great drum lick at the end.
Starts soft, but smack!!! a powerfull double bass groove, then soft again.
AHHH! I Love the swing shuffle when it changes into the louder "Smash and Trash" rodeo rock supporting the dissonence in the guitar. I love it Yeeehawww!!.
A bonus audio sample for your entertainment! This 5 minute solo from the 1999 Pocono Music Expo is a great
example of my artistic ability on drum set. My solo speaks for itself, so enjoy!
The following MP3 files are from my latest marching percussion arrangement.
I did not have the budget to clean up every tick!
Considering I did this recording by myself in 4 hours, I am still surprized
on how nice it sounds. How many marching percussion specialists
record their arrangements in a studio? Click here to see my studio pics from this session.
Thank you for waiting during the 3 minute down-loading process for each track.
Lots of unison hits filled with space followed by set-ups for the full marching
ensemble.
Starts with the big rhythmic motive that occurs multiple
times in the entire piece. Next is a sweet 5/4 groove.
Completion of the 5/4 groove with the bass feature. Next,is a strong
6/4 groove containing the exposed snare and multi-tenor features.
AHHH! The first big climax. The parts become more complex from a verticle standpoint.
The majestic section that brings the general effect to an understanding.
Time to get cooking again! The dynamic layering along with the syncopation
make this section fit nicely into the ending.
Yes! My favorite section is the ending consisting of the drumline feature followed by a familar ending to all!
