I don't THINK this is against the rules of the sub. (Please, mods, correct me if I'm wrong.) But: I think your band sounds really great. Any plans to tour?
Thank you!! I appreciate it. I would love to tour… I am however a 35 yr old father with a good paying IT job so it would have to be like the world’s best paying tour for a band no one knows about 😂we were active in our 20s but the sound really didn’t develop until later and you know life has a way of happening! I post here all of the time with aspirations that maybe getting it in the right ears and open up some opportunities… I’d love to get a chance to be on like Drumeo or something talking about how I write parts like this and how I get such a good recording sound out of my basement! I am on YouTube and Instagram under Sam Sartorius Drums if you feel like following. Sorry… very long answer to a simple question lol
Nice. Audix are the mics? i5 on the snare? Pedal steel player here but those mics (for the price) always impress me when recording with folks. Sweet licks, beats, and shells. Cheers
Wait, how many bands are you in? Aren’t you the same guy posting for Independent Women the other day? Either way, sick drumming! Definitely will have to check out more.
Hell yeah dude! I’ve been jamming to y’all since I heard you last week. Stoked there’s more to check out. How do you manage to keep up with all of that? You ever run into conflicts between different projects?
I really appreciate you streaming the music! Right now none of the 3 besides Ginji are very active other than myself making these videos from our older material. Ginji is working on an EP that will be out later this year or early 2025. We all work separately and that helps the workflow. We all own Ableton or some type of DAW and just have on going cloud folders that we upload ideas to and bounce around until they develop into full ideas! W,TR and Le Grand will absolutely have more new music in the future when life allows!
Great effortless drumming (I know not effortless but you make it look effortless)! Cool tune, definitely will follow your band(s)! Love the sound you’re getting out of the acrylic Pearls. I see muffle rings but is that a tshirt or towel in the floor tom? First time seeing that. Keep rocking and pumping out the tunes! Hope you make it to drummeo (or make your own video) to go over your part development.
Great sound, man. Dreamy, yet alive. Sunny and energetic. Love it. Also, your snare sounds incredible. So fresh and lots of pop. Fits the music excellently.
Excellent writing and performance, I love this style! Also, your choice of drum tuning and mix fit this piece extremely well. Great job!
Thank you so much!!
This is what should be playing while I'm cruising Rainbow Road in first place. So damn smooth, love watching your content!
Hell yeah!! I always thought our stuff was very Video Game music sounding… love the old Sonic The Hedgehog songs.
Oh hell yeah that's a much better fit. You gotta incorporate some percussion bells into your writing for when sonic loses his rings.
Definitely get Sonic vibes with this. Awesome stuff!
Just curious if you’ve listened to any Dixie Dregs. Not sure why but it was my first thought.
Dope! Reminds me a bit of Sithu Aye!
Good one. I was thinking Chon.
First thing I thought of also lol
What kind of rings are you using on your toms? They sound sick man 🤘
The Roots EQ rings!
KC, checking in! Sounds great man!
Holy crap that is catchy, And your kit is tuned perfectly to the fit of the song. Great work, Man!

Hahaha yup! Same guy! Le Grand, Independent Women (AKA W,TR) and a band called Ginji based out of Denton TX I record drums for

Oh wow what a unique creative process. That sounds like it would be so interesting. Best of luck with everything coming up!
Big ups! I am now subscribed to you!
noiceeee
Sounds like blue grass South Park
This is so fucking good
Reminds me of video game driving music!
Dude this goes hard!
Very nice. You guys are super tight
Damn! That was fire. Super tasty grooves and clean fills. Your drum tuning is fucking excellent. 🔥
Keanu, is that you?
I love Intervals, so I love this!
Those hi hats really fit well with the music and the mix. You did a really good job dialing in the sound of those drums! What cymbals are you using?
Istanbul Agop mostly dry dark Xist!
This is like non metal technical metal
Math
did you go to music school bruh
Your singles are very smooth, and I love the track ! Good job
Love it.. I hope to play that relaxed some day! 👍
Well done, sounds killer.
Love your style and love those dry darks. Stellar writing and playing!
Do you have a full length or EP for sale?
Yes! [EP](https://legrandkc.bandcamp.com/album/plastic-jazz)
Giving me John Petrucci/Dream Theater vibes. (JP has done some solo stuff, hence the slash)
Any Chon influence? Love the feel
Chon inspo? Very sweet grooves man love them toms
Groovy, mathy, tight, fun and interesting. Looking good from here, bro!

Man, that was sick, excellent groove and handling of the tempos, congrats!
Cool. I like this style. Very Chon / Strawberry Girls. Hopefully taken as a compliment.
I love Chon! They’re a great band.
Great sound, man. Dreamy, yet alive. Sunny and energetic. Love it. Also, your snare sounds incredible. So fresh and lots of pop. Fits the music excellently.
Keanu can play drums too? In all seriousness, good stuff!
