Had the pleasure of doing some drum tech work on this album by Seattle indie-rock band Great Grandpa. The band had me come in and get drum tones dialed in for the majority of the songs on this record, which we tracked at Studio X in Seattle, WA. They rented a bunch of drum gear from me, and my beautiful 1950s Slingerland 24” kick drum can be heard across most of this album. I had such a blast helping out and setting up a buffet of different snares. I’m very proud of how the drums turned out here and kudos to Dylan on the mix, album sounds incredible.
