The Extra Mile is near a midway point between rock and soul. Take your first left turn towards country and then drive one extra mile. You'll find us there, live off-the-floor.

My first posted drum track, appropriately titled "In the Beginning".  It's a tune by Robben Ford from the album "Tiger Walk".  Steve Jordan is the drummer.  This was a recording made in my home studio of myself doubling the drums and then removing the .mp3, adding my own EQ and processing to create a good quality drum track.

Here's a 2-bar segment taken from a session and turned into an apple loop.

Dirty Loop

Here's a loop i made from home.  It's totally dry.  No EQ, no plug-ins.  If you want the apple loop file so it can conform to the tempo of your own project and can be processed however you'd like, or if you want the audio files, so you can process tracks separately, send me a msg.

Welcome to my Soundcloud. My name is Kevin Mendes. I am a professional drummer located in Toronto, Canada. I like being a versatile drummer. I love studying music in depth and love teaching others how to do it too. My talents have stretched beyond Canadian borders, leading to tours in North and South America as well as Europe with several artists in several genres. My discography grows a little more every year and like a collection of good stories, I'm hoping to have a library of music to share with my grandchildren. On this cloud you will hear some samples of my work as a drummer and/or producer recorded in my home studio or another environment. If you like what you hear and have some songs of your own that could use a little bringing to life, get in touch with me. You never know what could turn into a worthwhile collaboration.
