#PANACEA is a band that I tracked drums for a while ago as a session, & the album is finally coming out! I knew I was down to do the album as soon as I heard the demos - the music rules! It's kind of a classic death metal vibe, mixed with a bit more of a modern tech death kinda thing (with a slightly more modern production overall). This drum video is instrumental, but the actual album has vocals, so make sure to check it out!
The album was written in Shanghai, & engineered/mixed in Germany by Christoph Brandes. The drums were tracked here at my home studio. However, this play-thru is not the actual album-take. I re-recorded it after the fact to make a video. I've mentioned this before, but I've taken to *not* recording video when I'm tracking for a full album. Instead, I prefer to just focus purely on the audio, & achieving the best sounds that I possibly can. Then, later on, if there's anything I want to record a drum video for, I just re-rehearse/re-record those songs.
When I'm doing session work from home, I'm also acting as the audio engineer for the entire drum session, which is already a lot of work, & a lot of stuff to keep track of. So it just makes more sense to focus purely on audio, & worry about video later. Regardless, the album version was performed almost identically to this (Lol!). However, this drum play-thru was mixed by good-buddy Declan White (as usual!).
This was also recorded quite a while ago now... unfortunately, I tracked it right before I upgraded to all 4K cameras. So this one's in 1080p (sorry, ya'll!). I have a few other 1080p videos to upload, but after that, all my future stuff will always be in 4K.
Before you go:
A quick update for anyone who cares! These last 6 months have been one of the busier times in my life. After some huge (& unexpected) life changes, I had to move back to my mom's place (on literally a day's notice)... basically all of my future plans changed overnight, & since then I've just been trying to pick up the pieces. To keep myself busy, I started barbering school. I've been at it 4 months now, actually. Long-term goal is still to find a new gig & head back on the road full-time. But I figured, hey, I'm saving money living back at home, & I have newfound free time... Plus, I desperately wanted to keep busy & distracted in recent months, so learning an all new skill set (like barbering) sounded like a good plan. & it has been! However, it's got me commuting to DC 4 days a week, & trying to juggle that, the school itself, & my usual music work... it's been a lot. But I think it will all pay off eventually. Hopefully I'll be back on the road before too long, & will be able to cut hair for additional income whenever I'm home!
That's the plan, at least! Figured I'd give a lil' update, just cuz. I doubt most of ya'll will read this far, but some of ya might. I did talk a bit about this already on Insta, but in case some of you don't follow me there, now ya know!
I have several other videos on deck; bunch of stuff that's totally done, just haven't gotten approval for upload yet. But pretty soon here, I'll be posting more regularly again.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy. As always, thanks for watching, & much love!
