Happy Sunday! We’ve had some cool and gloomy weather here the past couple of days. While I recorded today’s track a few weeks back, it feels appropriate for today. It’s a bit dark and slow moving, with some percussive sounds tossed in. I mean, drums are my first instrument - I can’t get anyway from hitting things, or at least making it sound like I am. Headphones on - enjoy.

The Tools
All my gear is below. Not everything is necessarily used for each recording. I record live to my HS6 recorder. I have a DAW-less setup, although I do use GarageBand only for normalization and creating a shareable audio file.
