Shout At The Devil ‘97 by Motley Crue.  

I learned how to play it in an attempt to impress my dad when I was eleven or twelve years old.  Of all my drum covers so far, I think this is the only one that really shows how much fun playing drums can be for me.  This is what I mean when I say getting into a song can just make your body parts do odd things.  I never intentionally lift my legs up above the snare drum or hover my head low below the hi-hats — they feel like impulses.  When my body starts doing shit on its own, I know I’m having the best experience possible.

Probably Jack Conte.  I miss that dude!  I wish I had the chance to work with him when I knew a little more about post-production.  When we made this, I had only been involved with the process for less than four months.  His vocal is still killer though, and working with him has been one of my personal heights as an artist.  Jack Conte was the driving force behind me getting involved with audio production in the first place.  Getting the chance to make a track with him was almost surreal.

Go buy all of his stuff and listen to him.  He’s the best.  Click Here.

No.  I’d trade every skill I have for that one, though.

The only way I’ve been able to work around this is combining my poetry with my music.  My biggest dream is to be the front man of a band.  I’d really like to perform poetry with a band behind me.

As of now I only have stuff like this:

Wow, it’s crazy to watch some of that old stuff. I almost feel like someone else wrote them.

I play drums the best out of all the instruments I play.
I am a decent guitarist (though trying to get better!).
I can…fuck around on bass (but I can’t guarantee it won’t sound like shit.  I understand it in theory but it’s not the same as guitar, not if you want to make something interesting anyway.)

The only time I’ve played bass and put it online was this little jam I made with my brother in Louisiana.  It’s nothing spectacular on my end but it’s something.  I don’t know what it is about the bass but you can really FEEL what you’re playing.  A lot of people have complained that I look super corny in this video but I kinda just forgot the camera was there.
