Drum recording finishes, drum editing commences

Late last week on a very tiring Sunday, Eric and I finished the last remaining drum recording for the upcoming 3rd record.

Eric was nearly destroyed by the end of the sessions, his leg muscles a bit swollen and sore. I, of course, think that the idea of the third album material bringing him to the point of death (slight exaggeration) is a pretty cool badge to wear.

To get to the point, we got some really great performances and now I am in the tedious and dull process of drum editing. I’ve been pretty hard on myself to get this done quickly, and I aim to begin working with John and recording the guitars starting in a week or so.

Drum recording begins for 3rd album

Word to the upward direction people and peoplettes,

We’ve been hitting the grindstone pretty hard the last few days, as drum recording is finally commencing.

We have scheduled working through wednesday or thursday of next week, depending on how things go.

So far, things have gone very well, and poor Eric’s legs are half dead. We will break tomorrow to let his legs heal a bit and hit the books again on sunday (weather permitting).

We already have two of the longest and most complicated songs out of the way, but there is plenty of crazy double kick and odd time signatures to come in the next batch of songs. I’m just glad its him instead of me.

Once we finish, I will be taking some time to do some editing and EQing, and will soon start up again with guitars.

It’s nice to finally get this beast going I can tell you.
