Hot Rods, drummers and repetition.

Radio 4 has a regular slot hosted by the impeccable Nicholas Parsons, where not one excessive use of stutter or repetition is permitted, its called 'just a minute'. An Interesting recording call a few weeks ago reminded me of the programme. A Drummer from Walsall drove over to record 'blues, reds and other slow fast light scenes' A comedy record for a library label he had previously recorded hypnotherapy pound shop cd's and various regional titles. Every track we recorded over the four hour session we stopped for a discussion "Do you think Hot Rods or Sticks ?" As we sipped our water forwarding the motion that sticks would be to loud for the simple backing and the recording levels were matched and there really is no need to reorganise the drum set for sticks, we would then try the song on sticks, play it back and decide on hot rods. I will mention no names but it was an enjoyable session, so much that i thought the Blog number 25 should be dedicated to its outcome.
