As you build a song with a group every element affects the feel or vibe of the song. I try to listen to every part that’s being added to be sure the drums still feel right for the song. Sometimes what worked at first has to be changed as the song develops. In this video I think we were pretty much settled on the drum part, but we’ll see. It’s up to the artist and/or producer, everytime! The more experience you have as a player people will often trust your judgement, but I never refuse to give more options if the creative juices are flowing… I try to make every take special! “Always give your ALL!”
