This is a project I've been working on for the last few months. I'm beyond grateful for everyone who contributed to the piece, I couldn't have asked for a better group of dudes.
THE OBJECTIVE was for each drummer to compose their own section of a song, the only rules were that they would get 18 bars at 140 bpm and match a similar fill at the end. Once they sent me their compositions, I tried to tie it together and order it in a way that felt cohesive. I then sent the full track to Nick and Reilly, of Night Verses, to compose a song around it. This video is the final result. None of the drummers were aware of what anyone else was playing when they wrote their section. Again, I asked for a piece of a song, *not a drum solo*, as this isn't intended to be a drum off. HUGE thanks to Anup, Mike, Matt, Loni, Billy, Garrett, Alex, Joe, Nick, Reilly, Kevin and Greg. You guys all killed it. Hoping to do a few more of these in the future :)
