Hello all out there!!! I am just letting all out there know that I am in the preproduction phase of recording my first CD entitled:
"Return of the Funky Drums! Volume 1"
This project means a lot to me for two reasons, one, there aren't any R&B/Soul CD's out there any more and two, there are too few drummers that undertake the responsibility of putting out music themselves!!
The industry these days consists of rappers and singers who leave all of the production work up to a select few in this industry who pull all of the strings regarding the direction and concept of what today's music should sound like.
No one honors what was done in the past today and I am working on a cd where the music is played in the studio live and NO COMPUTERS!!! (wow what a concept !)
Anyway wish me luck, and I hope to have some of the great people on this board give me their thoughts on this undertaking!!
And I am quite proud to say that the great Bobby Eli will lay down some guitar work on this CD as well as give me advice while I am working on this!!
Thank you all and please let me know what you think!!

Thank you to all for the kind words, it is not forgotten!!
The project will consist of music played in the tradition of what the Funk Brothers did at Motown as well as the Philly Intl. scene but incorporating funky beats that I have come up with over the years and have been shelved in memory!!
My question for all today is:
Will a cd that incorporates this type of "band" vibe be viable in this current music industry?
If you were recording a cd of this type how would you approach it??
Believe me I am listening to the "pros" in this venture and any input is VERY much appreciated!!!
Thank you again
