I wanted to play a bit with the new drum kit!

it was all recorded in overdubbing at my studio in Brooklyn, NY.
Mostly recorded with a Universal audio 610 mic pre and a Mohog mofet 176 compressor.

The rhodes sound is from the digidesign Velvet virtual instrument.

The mic for all the horns is the shure ksm32.
Drums were recorded with 3 mics only.
With the UA 610 and 2 Neve clones by "Don's classics". the NV73's.

the drum set is a 1969 Ludwig 13-16-22. plus a slingerland snare drum.
