I love laying down simple grooves in the seven member band Artichoke, but there's a certain freedom that comes with playing in a small group. And I couldn't get much smaller than 2 and still call it a group. So I've been working on my own project of duets that involve the drumset and one other instrument. This tune,"Something Like," and video are the first of hopefully several of my duets. This one is vocals and drums.

The rhythm I chose is loosely based on a samba however I wanted to see if I could stretch out of the latin or latin jazz genre. And that is exactly why I asked indie rocker Liz Whitman (of Kiddo fame) to join me on this one. She sang a simple jump-rope-like melody and I said "That's it. Perfect."

It's live (although there is one vocal overdub) and we took two takes (thanks to Dave at Scorpio Studio in Cleveland, OH.) We liked take #1 the best.

My brush technique on this track is not exactly traditional. And that is the point. I wanted to take a simple idea (the kick pattern of a samba) and stretch it into something else.
