Beat 345 of my DrumBeatProject 8.17.26 on stage in Nijmagen, NL. I was messing around with my wand sticks and this one happened. I chose to include it in the project mainly for the hi-hat openings hemiola and the sparse but impactful bass drum part. Those combined with the tinging wands give this one a certain charm that I really like. My wand supply just got replenished thanks to a gift from my college professor, Jim Campbell. Since I now have plenty of backups, I wasn’t hesitant to lay into the drums with these brittle beauties. Thanks to my Wilco tech, Chris Dowis, for his camera work!
Here’s an extra take of the beat not in the original post:
And here’s a close up that displays the wand’s pitch variances (and Nels checking his rig in the background):
Behind the paywall is another video of me locking the beat in as well as a video and long explanation giving more context on my history with the wonderful wands.
