Thanks to Craigslist.com, I have found a drummer to help complete the new CD. Tomorrow, at 1 PM, Phillip Bernier of Nashville will be putting down the tracks for the final two songs. It has taken over a year (mostly because of my laziness), but we are getting REALLY close now.

Hopefully Phil is good and easy to work with.

Yeah, you can never really tell about someone until you jam with them.

But, with the two tracks remaining, I think he will do fine. It isn't like I am really going to put the thumbscrews on him. I want him to play but put his own personality into the songs. So, I might have an idea where I want him to go, but Phillip can definitely lead some, too.

This is all sounding very promising.

Congratulations, alldat, on getting this far.

That's great you've found a drummer to complete the last two drum tracks.

I hope it goes well this afternoon in the Batcave.
That he can lay down two very cool drum tracks and feels what fits to the songs.

Good luck you both later today.
And of course I would like to hear how it went.

Should I be jealous and pout

That's not Animal! That's Sabidoo!!!

Only if he's better than you. I wouldn't think twice about it, bro. If I could get you to do more than two songs at a time every three months or so, then I could finish up a lot faster!

Staybrite your pic gave me a good laugh today.

Phillip has come and gone. He is a very young man (early 20's at most), but he is very skilled. He managed to complete both songs in about an hour & a half, and that was with me running my mouth in between takes! I seriously think that you all will love what he did on "Surrender" and "Go Ahead & Laugh".

Comparing the two drummers on this project, though, I don't think that I could say which is better. Both have different styles, so that makes an "apples to apples" comparison impossible. What I can say is this: I am proud to have gotten to work both with my brother Darren "Sabidoo" Dickens and newcomer Phillip Bernier. This project would not be what it is without their skills.

Hats off to both of you!

Wow, now the drums are finished. Are you going to start mixing, or do you still need to fix some vocals?

I've been doing the fixing for the past few days. So, it's time to mix.

Great that the drum tracks are finished.
Darren and Philip have done a good job.

Now the mixing.
That's very important because the mixing stipulate the quality of the CD isn't it.
The better the mis the better the CD sounds. isn't it?
Good luck with mixing the CD.
