So pumped to get the chance to record these tunes. Thanks for having me, Meinl! For those curious, this is a single unedited take (take three I think). PS - for a deep dive on independence techniques like in this song, I recommend checking out Mike Mangini's Rhythm Knowledge Volumes 3 & 4 (which I co-wrote) :D

Today I learned there was a new Sungazer album to keep me warm this winter.
