New Cymbals...?

I went to one of the local drum shops to try out a few cymbals recently and have arranged to go to their warehouse to pick out a few new toys. Hopefully I will get a new set up in the next couple of days. It won't be cheap but its years since I spent any money on equipment. The set up I have now is really better suited to the loud R&B band I was in a few years back than my current playing situations.

30 minutes: Scale Workout

Looooong walk whilst listening to Michael Brecker's Tales from the Hudson.

30 Minutes Bergonzi - Mixing up permutations on Lady Duck. I tried On The Brink as well but this needs more work!

UPDATE:

I bought new cymbals. I am now poor.

  2. Thanks Andy, though I'm sure a couple of the rhythms are wrong...

  3. lol..you tell him!

    Actually a score is needed for that one to do it justice. I think a harmony is set up with the guitar and the piano and drums have various kicks..

    Get comping along with the CD!

  4. Agreed - one of the things I like about that track is the rhythm section figures behind the melody.

    Do you have Two Blocks From The Edge?
