I get a ton of questions from comments and e-mails about my rig and what I’m using to track with all this gear and it’s actually a fairly simple setup. I’m on a quest to find the most efficient, durable, responsive, and portable drum rig whether it be MIDI or not, and I’ve been getting […]

I recently got some invites to the Dota 2 beta and it’s extremely addicting. I’m normally not into RTS games or Starcraft/Warcraft or anything, but this game is a ton of fun. There’s a lot of moments in the game where you’re grinding and farming and building up your character before you start actually attacking […]

Nate posted this piece on his wall last night and I wanted to add drums for shiggles. Here is the result. Enjoy: Nathan Matthew David – Forever by andyTHPS

Every time I hear an iPhone ring, or just about any music that doesn’t have drums, I’m always thinking of what I would put under it as a backing track. I guess that’s what happens to your melon after being a drummer for a while. I put this together a few weeks back by hand, […]

It’s pretty unbelievable that a random dude on the news expressed his mind about the current situation happened to blow up all over the internet overnight. Not only does the original video have 26 million hits (to date), the “Auto tune the news guys” (aka “The Gregory Brothers“), took some initiative and pieced the audio […]

I. Love. Mario. Music. Though there’s nothing I loathe more than seeing some guy cover the Super Mario Bros. 1-1 theme song though. Seriously, how many people have covered that, and in how many different ways? I even remember seeing a video of a group of guys who set up a hefty amount of bottles […]

Slappin’ da bass, mon. This one is a really comfortable BPM for me to add in tons of little flairs and fills. Really digging the riffs in this one too, Brian is a pretty sick guitar player. I actually worked with Brian Effinger at Neversoft for a couple years, and he’s a really cool dude. […]

Another great piece by Nathan Matthew David. I really enjoyed working on this one. Lots of room for fills and energy. Definitely don’t want to get too crazy and drown out the mood. This was one of those tracks where there were so many possibilities and such a great piece, that it was hard to […]

Nathan has been a pretty close friend of mine for a while now, and it’s always a pleasure to work on compositions of his. I hold a lot of respect for him considering the type of approach he takes with keeping the big-picture in mind at all times. Most of his work is done scoring […]
