This are some pics of last drum tracking session for Palenke Soultribe. This guys have some very innovating concept fusing traditional rhythms from their Colombian motherland with electronic dance. The group is run by the producer duo J.D. Borda and Popa. I've known these guys for years now, and worked with them repeatedly. We rented out some U87s for overheads, got them thru the 1272s; we also had the 4050s thru my modified Bellaris and the usual 737sp on the Kick. Again, the sound was a success, I kept rercieving calls from these guys over the week saying how happy they were listening back to the drum sounds. For me the session was relaxed as it gets since these guys do ProTools for a living as well. That is to say I got a chance to chill and sit back, it was sweet (the people on the picture working at the equipment are the artist themselves). The drummer for the session was Colombian Andres Zuluaga, an up and comming drum virtuoso. Dont' forget to check out Palenke's upcomming Oro album, the first in a trilogy of tribute to their motherland.
