Watch in HD!!! This is a play through for 'Evermore' by Devin Townsend.

Last year (2018), I had the unexpected privilege of being one of the recording drummers for Devin Townsend's latest record, titled 'Empath'. I really can't put into words how amazing the experience was to work with someone such as Devin, as well as all of the other amazing people/musicians on the record. It was very surreal to say the least, and I can't thank Devin enough for letting me contribute to the album.

This song is incredibly fun to play because it's one of the more composition-oriented songs I've had to write/record drums for. There's so much story telling involved with this song in particular, and it's constantly changing vibes left and right. I've never really had to write/record drums for something like this before.

I'm started leaving my far room mic's more open in my mixes lately, and I'm digging the vibe much more. I found that I focused too much on isolation and separation, and it started to take away some of the 'live' feel in the drums. I'm still messing around with this, but right now it feels good to leave the gate off of my rooms. Let me know what you think!

I plan on uploading videos for a few of the other songs that I performed on, which I'll put out slowly over the next couple of months.

I have raw drum stems from numerous sessions I've done on my GumRoad page if anyone is interested in hearing my raw tones. I also have a small drum sample pack available (TCI and audio files). The link is below:
