Field and Foley Barn Percussion

Nature is full of rhythm, and it’s fun to get percussive with it. Recording tree tones, pond splashes, and rooster clucks in the Catskill mountains of NY state, Daniel Freedman (drums for David Byrne) and Brian Rosenworcel (drums for Guster / Thundergod Percussion) present a Splice pack from inside and outside the upstate barn. When these two friends and drummers realized they could make drum sets out of the pine trees behind Brian’s house, Barn Percussion was born. Grooves were discovered in rivers and tunnels, on rocks and old tractor wheels, and anywhere nature presented its percussive potential.
