Kris McDougall & Oliver Roussy record drum sessions at LV Studios

Good friends should always watch out for one another, and this was the motivation behind one particular drum session that took place at LV Studios in the winter of 2007.

Songwriter Kris McDougall invited close friend and session drummer Oliver Roussy to record drum tracks at LV for 2 of McDougall’s original songs. The sessions were booked last minute and recording was done a bit hastily as time was very limited but the end result seems to have met the mandate: a clean drum track with little or no effects to be used in a future mix at the songwriter’s discretion … ask and you shall receive!

Here are some samples of the final result:
