What a great track. To be honest, I could've completed this track by recording about 6 or 7 bars and then cutting and pasting. But that's no fun.
This was very much an exercise, for me, in low-tempo control and discipline. There's only three drum patterns in the whole piece and I don't start until 3.15 in. They were designed to be gentle parts with a big sound. I'm playing trad grip to get the snare rolls and, at this tempo, ...

Thank you very much for your kind words, Jean Paul. It's a beautiful track - I love this sort of music and I love the challenge of trying to come up with drums that work for it.

Thank you. +1

Love this style of drums - just the kind I like. People underestimate how difficult it is to do slow tempos - there is far less room for mistakes and far more need for tight timing. You do an impeccable job.

I’m glad you like it Dan. It’s very simple, nothing clever, but very challenging to play well. It is always the case that playing less is harder in my opinion.
