Watch in HD!!! This is a play through for the song titled 'Balance', by Olly Steele. Olly was kind enough to reach out regarding me tracking the drums for this single. This was a lot of fun to record drums for. Olly does a great job writing drum parts himself. So almost all of the writing credits on drums definitely goes to Olly. Enjoy!
Olly plays for the band 'Monuments', and he's a good friend of mine. We've worked together on a couple of projects now, and I hope to continue working on music together. Check out Olly's guitar play through for this song at the link below:
