Oberwart
The last in the series were recorded in Oberwart Austria May 17th at Club OHO. These loops begin with OBT. Oberwart is a small kind of quiet town from what we saw. The club was a rock hall type venue, high stage, tall ceilings, all black decor, crew of dudes with long hair wearing leather, big system. So there's good low end and it's good and tight with a bit of a nice big natural ambience. Can't for the life of me remember what the kit was it was good (a rental) probably a Yamaha or Pearl (sufficient but, unremarkable).
 
 
 
 
Through the years I've really become interested in how the kit/heads/tuning  combination and the room acoustics couple to make up completely different sounding instruments. As I have travelled the world with Groove Collective and mostly without my own kit or even the same kit at each show, it has really been a challenge to adapt to each situation. Our tours have also typically been made up of situations like the above examples which span venues from huge festivals, to tiny bars, to theaters and just about any other situation you can imagine. I only wish I had recorded more. I intend to continue this project when possible I recently recorded some bits of the kit at Headgear studio in Brooklyn where I was doing a session so stay tuned for more if you're interested.
 
 
 
 
The only other condition for using these is that I ask that you not redistribute the loops in their raw form. These samples are all royalty free. The free loops are, of course, intended for promotion but I do hope that they will inspire creativity and be used and enjoyed by many so if you like them please send people to get them from my site!
 
 
Enjoy!
