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.
