The
Loyd Family
Nothing can compare to the experience of hanging out with the Loyd's.
I was honored to be able to help this amazing Samba troupe put together
their first recording ever! We came up with some great results despite
the hurtles of micing 10 drums. Unfortunately, the only way to hear
them is live since the recording is just a demo, but live is also
absolutely the best way to hear them. The raw energy of those pounding
rhythms is truly infectious, and even better, they blend the traditional
drum arrangements with elements of modern pop and hip hop and soul
that totally flip the switch and make them 1-of-a-kind.
