Sweatshop.
Had a workshop today with UK's leading session drummer "Craig Blundell" absolutely fantastic player.

Had a play on his Rolan TD9 kit, with double kick, trick pedals, direct drive! :) oh my what a joy to play awesome guy too really nice.

He played his 100 song medley and also played a 5 minute DJ set, on a drumkit with the Roland samplers, 2 of them, and a TD9 absolutely brilliant stuff.

He says hes flying to italy tomorrow to tour with members of King Crimson! Git!

But in the end me and one other guy sat there and watched in amazement.

EDIT; one of the guys at the workshop whos a technician for the university centre played him a track, and Craig said he'd love to session on it, but Matt the techie had to let it go, as he didnt have the time! he was so gutted, but hey! i got asked if i was available for session work, and guess what i said Yes! :) more work coming my way! wahey!

Sounds like you had an ace time. I used to listen to a band all the time at one point called Sunna, and as it turns out, the singer / guitarist is the uncle of an old mate of mine.

I was playing a guitar while he was in the room and played a few of his tracks which he duly sang along to. I was pretty pleased with that!
 
I've had the pleasure of working with Craig a few times over the years. Top chap, and I never tire of hearing that 100 song melody of his. Very talented guy, truly a drummers drummer. :)
 
Well im happy, a lot of people yesterday brought up the fact that i could play, and a few guys are gonna throw my name and number about in the industry see what happens :)

So why do you keep it from us?
I've been asking you for about 5 years and the only thing you've bought forward is you programming EZ Drummer for your covers band.
I NEVER **** anybody off so bring it forward.

Craig Blundell is brilliant, I saw him do a clinic last year. He had a gorgeous Mapex Orion stocked out with Paiste cymbals - drummer heaven :D

He's touring with King Crimson? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Gavin Harrison drumming for them this tour? 3 best drummers in my opinion are Gavin Harrison, Craig Blundell and Simon Phillips - all British drummers :p

Sounds like a good workshop :)

I plan on getting the Roland TD-3KW kit having owned the cheap Alesis one for 2 and a half years. Should be sweet :)

Interested in this track with the Massive Attack singer, let us know about it when you do :cool:
 
There are holes in a few pads where the rubber has worn through (and bubbling of the rubber on most) and I've had to replace the switches in the foot pedals a few times. It is still working though and has 2 extra pads. Trying to sell it now, might be difficult!
 
awesome, sounds like a good time! I'm planning on getting a Roland TD9KX in the near future, its an awesome piece of kit!!
