Sorry about the first song on this clip... we just wanted to keep people dancing 🤭 The second one is more representative of us.

Drumming with a bad knee? That's determination! 

 

 

Not to flex on somebody else's achievements, but my drummer finished a tour with a broken foot a couple of years ago.

 

Came offstage badly during an encore moment and broke it but still finished the gig before he realised he couldn't stand on it. Luckily we had a couple days off so he got booted at the hospital, me and him went into the studio and he relearned the set playing left foot kick, and then we did the last three gigs. He was taking the boot off so he didn't have to hobble onstage with it which earned him a shouting from the doctor after we wrapped.

 

He's healed up fine thankfully. Wouldn't do it now but you know how it is when you're young and the band is the most important thing to ever thing.

Last night was a frustrating one. All day wedding so we did the ceremony and then I hit my cajon for an hour during the drinks. 
 

The evening was okay. Very receptive audience! But, possibly the highest ceiling we’ve ever encountered made the low end so boomy. First set sounded terrible in my ears but apparently wasn’t that bad out front. Spent the break tweaking the eq on my B6 and our Bass drum pedals’ module. And, the second set was a lot better.

 

The frustration with of weddings of course is the quick evening turnaround not allowing a fantastic soundcheck & the fact that it’s just the two of us. It’s hard to tweak on the fly when we have issues. 
 

That paired with the fact that I’m still recovering from a pretty bad fall a few weeks ago which blew my knee up like a balloon, thus making it hard to kick my bass drum pedals for 1.5 hours made it one of those gigs where I was in my head a lot and not really as present as I would of liked… Oh well, still a great night enjoyed by all it seems. 
 

4 weddings coming up this week starting tomorrow so on to the next 🙏

 

What's the bass drum setup if you don't mind? It sounds like something I could use
