I did some percussion for this young girl. Her name is Lauren Courtney, she is 16, writes and sings her own songs. I played cajon, djembe and tamb on the 3 songs on this page. http://www.reverbnation.com/#/laurencourtney

Some ancient stuff. Most of it is is fairly embarrassing, but....

Here's one that I'm not TOO red-faced about.

Something we have been working on.. We are getting ready for a show Labor Day weekend. In this practice we are missing another guitar player and a key board player but I thought we finally got the harmonies down... so I thought I would share it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUsQGfvZxtQ

Hello,

I posted this on Billy's site earlier so it may be redundant for some of you. But I realized that I'd never posted a clip of myself here, mostly because I'm ugly and don't play well, but I hope you can overlook those :-)
BASICALLY:

I was recently contacted and asked to play in a group being put together for an "all year reunion" (basically graduates from the 1940s through 2010) at my high school. The group was to consist of other alumni as well.
We were asked to kick off the program the other night.

While one might not believe it from hearing me, we actually had a very good music program for a small school in the sticks.

I had known and had played with some of the other players before, but also got a chance to meet some folks I had not known previously.

We are all pretty well geographically dispersed so we only managed to have one rehearsal, so I in these clips see myself as doing more reading than "playing" (it sounds like it too) but that is how it goes.

Here they are

Night in Tunisia
This is an arrangement by Abe Silverman, the sax player in the group, whom I've had the pleasure of recently meeting and playing with. Abe has been a working NYC musician since the late 50s, prior to that he was stationed in Cuba with the US Navy (pre Castro) so he played with all of the great Cuban players in Havana before they came here. For years Abe has had his own big band here, a couple of years ago his drummer was Ignacio Berroa, now it is Steve Little who played with Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton and Igor Stravinsky. Abe is a treasure trove of stories from the Big Apple's Jazz heyday. He is still going strong as you'll see. There are some decent grooves during the solos.

Sing Sing Sing- Always cautious about tackling a signature piece like this....

This went OK, it was the last song we were able to play, and you'll see my solo end very abruptly (and awkwardly) because the organizer of the event was frantically waving his arms telling us we'd gone over the time limit (because he started things way too late). I'm definitely no Gene Krupa so I was just trying to capture the spirit of what he played. Anyway when I got the hook I just played the first thing that came into my head, then back into the tune. I didn't want to copy the GK stuff note for note but I spent a lot of time listening to about 5 different versions on my ipod so I would absorb the general feeling of things. Kind of disappointing to get cut off like that, we had a few more tunes we pulled from the Real Book that we were going to stretch out on, but thats showbiz.

I later spoke to some people in the crowd out who had actually seen Krupa play that tune live. Had I known that I probably would have opted out of playing it :-)

I Got Rhythm The opening tune, I like the vocals..and we all started and finished at about the same place so that was good.

good job Kevin

I dig the sound of your ride cymbal too

KevinD · « **Reply #148 on:** September 02, 2010, 10:25 PM »

Hey Dizz,

Thank you very much for the nice comments.

That is a ride cymbal that I got with that kit when I was 10 (long time ago-back when Charlie's Angels was big in Prime Time :-).
I believe it to be a late 50s A (from the stamp on it). Up until recently when I was preparing for that gig it had the original 8 rivets in it, it created a huge sound but the rivets limited its utility so I hadn't used it much. One day on a whim I removed the rivets and really liked the sound, I can get a lot of different textures out of it....I guess I should have removed them years ago!

Thanks,

Kevin

Hey, guys. Newbie to the Cafe, here. Figured there wasn't really a better way to introduce myself than to post a video of my current band playing live. This particular video is from the Slave To The Metal Festival that came through our town (Charleston, SC) hosted by Mistress Juliya (from Fuse TV, I think).

This is the opening song. I guess you'll get a good idea of my playing style from this video. Lots of cymbal choking, variations of blasting (given the style of music, I believe I apply them tastefully, lol), and double bass flurries...quartets, I guess. Not triplets.

Pardon the screaming if you can't stand it, lol. And the vulgarities. Whoohoo. Hello.

Just catching up to this. Outstanding. Your boy rocks. You, too.

I had that up loud with the computer speakers. The whole family enjoyed it.

Merry Christmas.

New Year's Eve gig. I think I was watching the game on the big screen TV...or something. It was a last minute thing, and I believe I counted a total of 5 people in the audience when it peaked @ 11:30 (when they set the buffet out, oddly enough). Despite the disappointing turnout, we rocked....I think.

I love that you kept your cell phone on your belt loop.

[Phone rings at the end of song]

"Hello this is Rylie. Sure, I have time. Where? I'll be there in 10 minutes."

[To band]

"Sorry guys, I got a better gig. Have a great night!"

lol ....

Ha! I keep it on vibrate ...most of the time, but my ringtone is James Brown's "Poppa Don't Take No Mess", so if I forget, everyone thinks I'm hip.

Beautiful, Bobby. What album is the Boyd/Egan/Clarke material from? I have to buy it.

I didn't know you play with Mark. He lives in my region.
