24 hours before Bandcamp Friday and my new album's release, I'd like to take a moment to praise the work and the simple existence of real drummers. Nowadays it's easy to recreate a realistic enough sound for pretty much all kinds of instruments, but still everyone appreciates the unique sound and feel of the real, acoustic thing. However, what happens with drums specifically is quite odd. Sequencing guitars is considered a heresy in metal but sequenced drums is pretty common and no one cares.

All my original solo music is sequenced MIDI with small parts played by keys, so this statement may sound ironic. But I mostly write music that people would usually expect with real and acoustic instruments, and I do the same for drums as I'd do for guitars, bass and any other instrument. So I don't discriminate! My influence comes more from 90s VGM than metal bands, and I don't pretend to souind realistic, so it's all cohessive and genuine. So just wanted to mention this common contradiction.
