So when they called me to inquire if I was interested in playing this show with them I didn't have to think hard as long as my wrist was good to go.
#JOE BARRESI EVIL DRUMS BFD PLUS#
I had actually worked with the Fates guys a couple of years ago when they were sorting out their drummer situation and demoed a couple songs for their last studio album, plus I've known Ray (Alder) for years being that we both grew up in San Antonio. Last but not least, I am happy to announce that I'll be sitting behind the kit with FATES WARNING for their European one-off at the Evolution Fest (in Italy where I played with Sebastian Bach in 2005 this year's edition is scheduled for July 7 at the Ippodromo Le Mulina in Firenze. Obviously, my right hand had to work twice as hard to try and cover all the parts I think it must've been pretty amusing to watch! I also did a bit of left foot triggering - thanks to Mike Snyder and Tim Root at Roland Electronics for hooking me up with the trigger pedal. It was pretty interesting and not as difficult as I thought it might be. I even got into Rick Allen mode playing local weekend gigs with one hand. Joe got some of the sickest drum sounds in the universe - check them out here.
I worked at a couple of studios with the awesome 'Evil' Joe Barresi (TOOL, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE) and drum tech extraordinaire, Mike Fasano, for several days on a drum samples library for 'Platinum Samples - Engineered Drums for BFD'. Thank God I wasn't completely laid up and useless during those six weeks and was able to do a few things to keep busy. I played a couple gigs over the weekend using both hands and I am surprised at how quickly everything seems to be healing. Drummer BOBBY JARZOMBEK (SEBASTIAN BACH, HALFORD, SPASTIC INK) has issued the following update:"Finally! My cast came off my wrist last Wednesday, May 30th, and although I'm still feeling a little pain I'm feeling like a normal human being once again.
