AGENT FRESCO | Dark Water - Drum Cover by David Preissel

AGENT FRESCO - one of a kind, inspirational music, played by such nice and talented people. I had the pleasure of chatting with the band after one of their Swiss shows last year and Keli was so nice to explain that triplets middle part - which was a real challenge to play and hear right to a straight 4/4 click.
...
I always wanted to cover a song by Agent Fresco, but they have so many good ones that picking just one was difficult. That being said, Dark Water has it all! And for the first time I've also recorded and mixed my own drums for the video - so I'm a little extra proud of this one :)
DRUMS - TAMA Starclassic Maple: 22", 10", 14"
SNARE - TAMA Starclassic Bubinga 14"x5.5" lmtd. Exotic Edition
CYMBALS - All SABIANS: 14" Artisan Hi-hats, 18" HHX Studio Crash, 22" Artisan Light Ride

[@PatrickManser]

huuuere geil! :D dämfall muessi agent fresco au no uschecke... there's so much good prog stuff out there! need to get back on drums, it's been quite a while... my drumset is at a friends house, sitting in his cellar, unassembled - and I have been focusing on singing anyway for the last couple of months. need to find a room for my drums (MAYBE you know some places in Basel and its surroundings?)

[@preisseldrums]

Dankeschön!! And yes you really should, and then go and check em out live with leprous sometime in November :) I think there's a FB group for musicians from and around Basel, finding good rehearsal rooms is usually tough. Good luck!

Awesome. Such an interesting drum pattern i am a fan of more extreme shit however these cats (fresco)porcupine tree opeth and snarky puppy just write stellar material

[@dimman16]

Great cover! Wish you would have let go a bit more, but over all pretty spot on!
