Ash has brought the fun back to drumming. Such a joy to watch

[martinrockport]

That snare is happening. Love it. Crash cymbal looks like it's been retrieved from a busy highway. Also love it.

[Bluemn]

Omg please post the full session up ash is a monster and be great to hear more

[nik_in_the_box]

To watch him playing drums is like eat candy 👌👌

[kingdomdrummer]

That snare is perfect in all its glory

[DrMackSplackem]

Hey ho, that Hi-hat stand sure can dance!

[Slipstream]

Just lovely. And nice to hear a modern drummer not muffling their snare to death.

[kingdomdrummer]

Mannn he's was locked 🔒 in!! Love it!

[JaxDrummer]

This sounds phenomenal! Love the vintage sounds and grooves. You’ve got a new sub, keep it up 😎👊🏻

[Yeh]

I repeat it 100x and more! this is definitely superb! 🔥

[mikehubert]

I just found my new favorite drummer. I'm am a Tori Amos fanatic! Ash you are extremely solid. Tori is phenom level and she won't use fake musicians

[EvanJr]

The snare is snoring a lot, like rim shot. Good groove. And the coolest thing is this "crash" melting. 🤣👏

[tomkendallmusic]

@ross_the_sound_guy did an incredible job. Ash's playing is great as always, but love the mix they got on it

[rosssavory]

Amazing feel and sound! anyone else notice he cracked his raw crash at 1.20 :)

[mattd]

So great to just watch and listen to great in the pocket grooves because a squillion chops gets old fast

[scottmorosky]

Very cool and tasteful! That 6, 5 inch snare is tuned, muffed, tightened to sound very interesting! Cool funky Cymbal as well. Who needs Tom Tom's...lol
