I took part in Mat Quinn's recording session as a performer, he wanted me to record drums for his track which was split into 3 parts, an upbeat progressive rock part, a jazzy second part and a surfer rock part.
We ran into a major problem, the hi hat stand had been tampered with and broken, the chain connecting the stand to the foot pedal was missing so we could not use the hi hat which was essential to Mat's recording. We had to compromise and use the V-Drum kit running through Logic on Rich's laptop and having a monitor wedge so I could hear the click. When it came to start recording, I had a few run throughs of the tracks to as last minute practice and because i had been practicing the tracks at home it didn't take long at all, because i had been practicing the parts i managed to record each part in about 1 or 2 takes. Overall i think i did very well as the performer as i did what was asked of me by Mat and i did it to the best of my abilities.
