EPIK DRUMS! 2010

A couple of years ago Woody had a call from an old friend, Ken Scott, who was the producer of the Bowie albums (amongst many others!). He told him he was going to do a drum program project for a company called Sonic Reality. He wanted to re-create the drum sounds from those early Bowie albums and was Woody up for doing it! Of course he was and they got together and using an identical kit to the Ludwig he used in the 70's and Ken using the exact same mics and recording system etc. they re-created the drum sounds. This wasn't as simple as it sounds and it's taken a couple of years to put together this product to the quality level it deserves. 4 other drummers that Ken had produced were also involved in the project.

Here are the other drummers with Woody and Ken:

Now here's the promotional stuff: you can check out more at www.sonicreality.com.

Masterclass

I've been asked to do some drum masterclasses but haven't been able to schedule them in yet...will let you know when I do.

MOVIE

Got to record all the drum tracks for a forthcoming Stephen Soderbergh movie, it's going to be a 3D musical! Think there were 22 tracks in all.
Rusty Anderson (McCartney's band) played guitar, Matt Bissonnette (Greg's brother) played bass, and Nick Kirgo also on guitar.

It was recorded in Wyn Davis's Total Access studio with Ken Scott producing it. Hope it makes it to the big screen!!!!
