In this video I take you along for a recording day that’s definitely not your typical studio hang—because we’re tracking in a library. I’m with my friends in Fox Menagerie, and the whole thing is a mix of prep, hauling gear, getting set up, rehearsing, and then actually putting two songs down. If you’ve ever wondered what a “working drummer” kind of session day looks like when it’s not some perfectly controlled studio environment, this is it. We recorded two tracks: a reimagined cover of Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees,” and an original tune written by Joe Sly and Charlie Urick (“What Keeps You Running”). I walk through the flow of the day—travel, setup, and how we approached each song—so you can see the practical side of making music with friends: getting organized, dialing in parts, and staying flexible when the space is unusual. If you want to hear the finished results, I link both released videos in the description.
