*Please click the links and listen to drumming samples below *All Drumtracks performed and arranged by PDallas.

note: The drum track on a song is the foundation. I track drums from start to finish without fixes. On many major records that is what makes them special with a killer vibe and attitude and that's what was wanted by producers when I first began doing recording sessions...striving for the perfect take ASAP. Drums also add color and emotion painting a geographical musical landscape for the song. My philosophy on writing drum parts is to stay out of the way of the song and not step on the vocal hooks and melody lines.

I usually am able to "get it" in the first or second take!

The 2 tracks below are done without a click - I recorded them to a piano and vocal track only - Kevin has an awesome Bruce Springsteen/Dylan vibe and it is inspiring to arrange and track drums for him! He is very organic with his approach and doesnt work with a click so I must eb and flow with the tracks while recording) These songs are amazing and heartfelt. Give them a full listen if you have time, there are some nice bridges and breakdown sections in them.
