Adam Gormley Drum Performance Notes

Track: “Phoenix on Fire”

Client: Angus Whitington

Session Date: 7 April 2023

Studio: Academy of Music and Sound, Jamaica Street, Glasgow.

Preparation:  Requested copy of rough demo and listened to the track on a number of occasions. Client requests that I provide a suitable drum track for the closing section of the song from 3 minutes in.  He wishes me to play whatever I believe fits the track best.

Pace:  Measured at 88 BPM.

Time Signature:  4/4

Style:  The song is ‘hip hop’ in character and requires a fairly straight forward beat utilising bass drum, snare drum and hi-hat.

Equipment: Mapex five piece kit, bass drum, snare, 2 x hi-toms and one floor tom.  Five Zildjian cymbals: Hi-hat, ride, 3 x Crash.

Recording Setup / Microphones:  As per recording engineer.

Health and Safety:  Drums and hardware checked and general area around the drum set was checked for any trip or other types of hazard prior to start of session.

Notation: Proposed drum part was played through in the studio, agreed with the client and the notation finalised.

Takes :  Four takes of the drum part were recorded in total.
