Recording Session 2/16/14 HesDeadJimStudios - Queens, New York


You put your right foot in
You put your right foot out
You put your right foot in
And you shake it all about

From The Hokey Pokey written by The Good Yeggs
(Cacciola, Genalo, Roberto)

We know it's a stupid song so we decided never to record it, would have been a complete failure. 
It fit the picture though.


Our follow up session was scheduled to capture Lead Vocals, Background Vocals and Percussion overdubs. Pictured above is a small portion of some of my toys, Cabasa, Mountable Tambourine, Triangle, Shaker and Stuffed Peppers (with Prosciutto and Romano).


Thomas had a fantastic idea to overdub some "Ricky-Ticky" percussion onto "Gets In My Head" to act as a supporting bed to fill out the sound even more. Here I am utilizing a pair of Pro-Mark Hot Rods (thanks for the gift Scott) on Thomas $3000 recording console, well hey it sounded the best. 

I also learned at this juncture that as a Drummer I should practice my rudiments a lot more, I had to be "punched in" several times playing a simple Double Stroke Roll, mind you quite a fast one.


Thats a Whole Lotta' Gummy Candy Goin' On.


He may be handsome now but he was somebody's baby once.
