- Drum cam footage of the end of soundcheck on April 22, 2009, at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. on tour with Saves The Day.
Nearly half of the songs on This Addiction were written on tour, we'd work on new ideas during soundcheck when time permitted. Dead On The Floor was one of them.
I wrote the main riff and sent Matt a recording in January 2009, he sent me the entire song the next day. We started working on it as a band the following month, and as you can see in this clip, it wasn't quite ready for its live debut (which I think was May 3rd). There's nothing polished here, just a candid look at the creative process.

we missed you at BayFest Derek! your Italian fans love you and will always support you!! 🖤
@marisolmari3672 Aww, I miss you too. I'll always be there with my brothers in spirit. Tanto amore a tutti i miei amici in Italia.
@@DerekGrantMusic Grazie Derek 🖤
@@DerekGrantMusic Damn, I guess I will have to buy another record of yours to put the Anna Maria (my mom, owner of the address) dedication incident right! xD
I was at this show!!
Yo! Derek I still have that stick the red promark you wanted it's Mark from Austin Texas!
So cool to see how the verses evolved from this point to the record. This Addiction has some of my favorite drum parts and drum production
Fine is top tier Derek Grant!
Thanks!
You have any ITTC tracking videos?
@MarkSmithSJC Unfortunately I don't think there's any visual documentation of the recording, at least I don't remember anyone taking photos, certainly not video. It wasn't a feel-good session I'm afraid, I was at my lowest, deep in depression and could barely function. No one knew what to do or how to help so we just kind of soldiered through. There were some incredible moments though when we were all in a room writing the album together and we made recordings as we went, so there are some really cool early working versions of the songs at different stages of the process. Hopefully they'll be released someday.
@DerekGrantMusic I still have your stick you wanted. If you have a po box or such let me know. Hope you're doing well.
Do you have any strong opinions on drum panning in the mix? This Addiction is very much audience perspective with hats leaning right and floor tom left, My Shame Is True and others are very much drummer’s perspective, which I much prefer but always wondered how drummers felt?
@paulrwlnd I always mix from an audience perspective, but it never bothered me when our albums were mixed otherwise as long as the stereo field sounds right. We had someone remix a song once and they had the hi-hat and ride cymbal hard panned to the same side which drove me nuts. I don't recall the song (I think it was from Agony & Irony) and I'm pretty sure the mix was either changed or never released.
@@DerekGrantMusic wow, hats and ride on the same side would melt my head as well. Thanks the insight! I have my vinyls running through my interface to an input monitored track in Pro Tools and I’ll flip the pans to get drummers perspective. It shouldn’t bother me as much but it does!
@paulrwlnd That's interesting about your audio setup, I'll have to try flipping some of my favorite recordings to see if it bothers me at all. I've done something similar when creating stereo spreads from mono recordings, but it's not quite the same thing.
@@DerekGrantMusic in theory it shouldn’t affect anything tonally and it never bothered me if a guitar part was one side or the other. I’m running JBL 708P’s into the JBL intonato room calibration unit and a Focusrite Red 16 line so most stuff sounds great anyway. Got MSIT vinyl recently and I was playing it this morning, love the drum sound on that album. Finding time to listen is the challenge these days!
