Watch in HD!!! This is a play through for the ending of 'Singularity', 'Part 6: Here Comes The Sun' by Devin Townsend.
Last year (2018), I had the unexpected privilege of being one of the recording drummers for Devin Townsend's latest record, titled 'Empath'. I really can't put into words how amazing the experience was to work with someone such as Devin, as well as all of the other amazing people/musicians on the record. It was very surreal to say the least, and I can't thank Devin enough for letting me contribute to the album.
The record is a great blend between three drummers; myself, Morgan Agren, and Samus Paulicelli. We all played a different role throughout, and its pretty awesome to hear the different styles of playing. Singularity is a very long song, and there are numerous sections that were performed/recorded by all three of us. So I decided to do a video for one of the sections that I was on, which is the ending. I hope you enjoy!
I plan on uploading videos for a few of the other songs that I performed on, which I'll put out slowly over the next couple of months.
