Last night at the Democratic National Convention, Alicia Keys performed “Girl On Fire” to introduce Hillary Clinton.
Our Dylan Wissing recorded the drums for that song back in 2012. This song ended up becoming the lead single for Alicia’s Grammy Winning, Platinum Selling, #1 record “Girl On Fire”. Here’s a video on how that performance and sound were achieved.
This week’s #1 Rock Album (and #2 on the BillBoard 200 Chart) is “Hard Love” by NEEDTOBREATHE, which features our own Dylan Wissing on drums! You can hear Dylan’s playing on the single “Money & Fame” and the song “Great Night (ft. Shovels and Rope)”. These were recorded at Germano Studios in Manhattan, and produced by the mighty Dave Tozer.
Here’s “Money & Fame” by NEEDTOBREATHE!
Here is a little behind the scenes from the tracking of those breakbeats, featuring our GMS DRUMS Super Vintage Kit and custom made 4″x15″ All-Maple Piccolo Snare with eight solid brass tension casings, single flange hoops, and Aquarian Heads.
And here is the moment when we took the 4″x15″ snare out of the box!
