5 Drummers and One Studio: Drum Jam at The Recordium

What happens when you invite 5 killer drummers over to your music recording studio for a jam?  We were lucky enough to have front row seats for a local Fort Collins, Colorado drummers going away party at The Recordium after photographing local artist Timothy John live in the studio recording his debut album and got to witness the musical event for ourselves.  Drummers Ikaika Pekelo, Don Stahl, Nate Brown, Andrea Spadafora, and Jesse Villarreal all took turns for a spin on the drum kit and had a great drummers jam.

Hosts and owners of The Recordium studio Mer Sal and Jasco Duende let us see for ourselves the power of sound isolation and Richard Bender brought some wonderful gifts to share as well.  For a taste of the volume and energy these drummers have, here is a video of a piece of Ikaika’s epic 17 minute drum solo and jam:

Mer Sal from The Symbols hopped in on bass for a bit and everyone enjoyed each others company playing some music together.

Thank you to the musicians who dedicate their lives to their art form and for sharing it with the world.  We feel truly lucky to have been able to listen in on the pure joy and friendship of this night as a little good music and good friends can go a very long way in life.
