Drum Solo by Dave MacLeod

Watch in HQ!

This is the first time I've recorded a solo for a while. Not much to say other than that it's played from the heart, so there are a few "untidy" moments. If you have any questions about this solo or about drums in general, please send them my way at dave@davemacleod.co.uk

A huge THANK YOU to Colin Mackay for lending me the microphones used in this video, and thank you also to Arnold Bruveris for your inspiration and encouragement - this video is for you!!
