about

A drum machine workout, recorded 06/03/24

Syntakt drum synth
EHX Memory Man delay pedal

My first instrument was drums. I was 11 years old, in hospital for 2 weeks with salmonella. I was obsessed with Queen at the time, and my Dad got me this video box set - Queen's Greatest Flix - which had all of the Queen music videos on. As soon as I saw Roger Taylor playing drums I knew that was what I wanted to do. I was completely fascinated by it.

30 years and many instrument changes later, I've become fixated on rhythm and drum performances.again. I got hold of an Elektron Syntakt - a synthesizer/sequencer which specializes in drums - and spent a couple of weeks learning how to make it work for me.

In some ways I'm probably using it quite unconventionally, but it's the results that matter.

I've also recorded a bunch of non-drum stuff with it too, which I'll release on here once I have enough of it.

There's a video here of a similar performance, from a week earlier: youtu.be/NpTn5_stzXw?si=hIAnOBAxN4aKb5Ef
