Old photos from analog studio recording rehearsals with Bob Gurske (RIP), Mark Morton (Lamb of God) and Stephen Perkins (Janes Addiction). Winter Sound was the best place to record and rehearse music back in the day before Bob died of cancer. Bob was a drummer himself, so he knew exactly how to record drums for live stage or in-house acoustic environments. We'd (my bandmates and other musicians in the scene) literally lived in that place in the woods, write music all night long, smoke Marlboro Lights and usually work till around 3-4am on songs with no issues at all from any neighbors --- cuz there were no neighbors. This magical place was a homemade studio in the deepest of the country woods. Bob called his studio Winter Sound cuz the place was like something out of a Winter retreat meets The Shining hotel.
My drum kit being miked up by Bob while Mark discusses where to record the guitar rhythm tracks...
Stephen Perkins (Janes Addiction drummer/studio brother) let me borrow a few crazy tom-tom drums that night that he'd gotten from Australia. Good times. Good tom-toms.
Me and guitarist Mark Morton(Lamb of God)- rehearsals.
