I have been playing drums for 26 years now. I am constantly working on my playing so I am never satisfied with just being good so I am constantly practicing. My style has a heavy progressive feel. My experience lies in song arranging and structure. I have jammed with Jefferson Tarc Bus, The Vai Johnson Band, 2 ton Groove, Sideshow and a few others. I am currently working on a project with a distinct sound that will be very eye opening to say the least.
The Tracks posted were done mostly in one take on the church kit. This marks the first time I really played in 5 years! I also had the kit mics up too loud in the mix. If you listen closely you will here the actual songs drum tracks in the back ground so what you hear is what I was hearing in the monitors, while recording. But you be the judge. email me at troyhamilton.pdp@
