Here is the “punked” version of Matthew Rose‘s “I Have A Car”. You may be familiar with the original recording I did back in 1999. I recorded this version back in November 2008 as a test of my (then) brand-new Roland TD-3 drums — long since upgraded to a TD-4. I actually rather like the sound of this snare drum on the TD-3. I haven’t been able to find anything that punchy on the TD-4.

Other instruments: Gretsch Electromatic, Fender Jazz. Recorded on the Zoom H4, mixed in Garageband.
