4 years ago I self-released One Takes Vol. 1, a bunch of live finger drumming beats from my 30 day beat challenge. A lot has happened in those years, to traveling the world and working with different singer/songeriters, to releasing new music and reaching people across the globe. Happy to share with you some of my new live-performed beats. It’s crazy and humbling to see the growth since the inception of the project. Hope they resonate with you.
