I'll be honest -- despite all of the election-related hoopla and a fun weekend, I wasn't feeling particularly inspired when I sat down to crank out this week's #drumsong. But for me, that's kinda the point -- showing up and making a thing no matter how you feel. So, I plunked down a few ideas with contrasting textures and rhythmic feels, detuned my snare drum, and pressed record. I wasn't planning it this way, but the opening drum part seems a little bit influenced by Steve Gadd's iconic "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" groove -- and, now that I think of it, the transition to a super-straight backbeat for the B section is also similar to that tune, huh.
Enjoy!
