Music Producer Plays Drums???

When the Session Drummer is the band
I ended up playing drums on the ep and practically everything else..except lead vocals, eg solos, and the odd eg rhythm jangle. This is a song in a series of me attempting to re-create songs and projects I've already produced, mixed, and mastered.
These vids will be attempts to remember what I played...in some cases..years later. I'm either brave or stupid haha! But seriously, there are years of projects I never filmed the "making of".
Also, I plan to spin out videos of me showing as much of the process as possible [i.e. playing, recording, mixing, etc.]. Hope it comes out all right and is fun for everyone.
Wish me luck!

@@therealjonsmith1 As far as drums go, I make mediocre drum covers, striving for decent. I just did a skydive, which was way better than my drumming.
