Hey Gavin!
I just wanted to start by saying thanks for the transcription of the one figure from "Illusion," it was really helpful. Also, your podcasts have been quite entertaining to listen to, as well as a great way to pass the time for me the last couple times I rebuilt my kit at home after gigging out and about. (My kit takes in general more than a half hour to put together what with my 7 drums, 13 cymbals, double bass pedal and Cobra Clutch, plus a bunch of fancy hardware.) The interviews were also very informative and a great learning experience.
Question wise, I've recently gotten into some of, well actually ALL of your works with Ed Poole. I only learned a few days ago that you recorded way more than just the couple tunes you've shared on Facebook, being "Gnu" and one of my favorites, "Goofy." (I've never heard a pattern before like in the beginning of "Gnu" with the off-sixteenth hi hat hits every other sixteenth, plus the rhythmic illusions during the fill sections were fascinating to analyze and work through. Also, the ride section on "Goofy" is just fantastic, especially the groupings of five with your RLRRL sicking sometimes a RLRLL thrown in as well.)
Getting more to the point, only today did I discover that the drum tracks for the tunes "Lock Stock" (2009) and "Whassup?" (2010) are in most, if not all aspects completely alike. I first noticed this when I came across a section during the ride patterns of both that had a recognizable illusion from your song with 05Ric, "Source," during the chorus. (The off- sixteenths as in.) Upon further examination, I found that fills, little nuances, even entire 8 bar grooves were exactly the same between both pieces. What I'm wondering is, what's the story behind this? The tunes are even in the same key. Clearly "Lock Stock" was recorded first. I'm just curious to know what the reasoning behind this is.
Thanks for answering as always.
Cheers -- Peter
