    This is beautiful Donny. Of course it helps having legendary drum machines, but being able to bring the magic out of them is what makes your music special. Really classy drum playing too! I definitely hear the Gadd!

    Le Piano - like others said, awesome EP!!! In regards to drums - I never thought that you can play drums that good! I always thought that the bass and synth/drum-machine is your thing, but damn, drums as a other weapon of your musical armamend, your're just epic! Waiting to hear your new sounds! Regards from Poland!

    According to some, the LinnDrum sounds were sampled from real drums played specifically for the machine by Los Angeles drummer Art Wood, a friend of Linn, who played with Linn and musicians including Peter Frampton, Gary Wright, Cher, Tina Turner, Bette Midler and James Brown.
    The drum samples are not by Steve Gadd as some people think!

    Donny, I’m commenting on RUclips for you. That’s it, it’s beautiful. Jupiter, pesto, probably basketball, snare after, but that’s cool, a little básil, and of course some high hats, I think it sounds great, kielbasa, soft kielbasa, keep it simple, add a kick. Number one. Beef it up a bit. And of course

    "When Doves Cry", and "Erotic City", are fantastic, for the programed percussion, and were used, to great impact.
    Have you heard Prince, just exploring ideas on piano, during rehearsals? It's so inspiring. We lament the passing, of Prince Rogers Nelson, but his genius lives on, through the art he left behind. May his continuing journey, be a blessed one.

    I'm in the same boat as Donny, I always dabbled with drums but didn't start to take them seriously until the covid lockdown. I used my stimulus money to buy myself a Roland TD-11 and have been having a blast ever since.

    You're as good as Pug now! His cymbals sound thin and slowly manufactured. The most difficult, in my opinion, is to play buzz rolls starting from L R L R L R triplets on the snare drum. I managed to play them a few months ago 🥁🪘🥁👌
