Mighty Mellow Massive - IF I CALLED

The first radio single released from the 5:05 "Stay Awake" CD was a song written by Glenn Medeiros and his childhood friend Ernest Carbonel.  "I Wanna Be Her Man" wasn't originally written as a Reggae tune but I convinced the members in 5:05 that we needed a song that was specifically targeted for airplay on Island Music stations in our homebase of Hawaii, then we could shop the other rock tunes to Major Labels on the mainland. 

We decided to throw in a rebellious Heavy Metal/bang your head snippet at 2:37 (right after the 1st Guitar solo by Jonny Kamai). The tongue-in-cheek inside joke was well received and our music distributors said it was the best part of the song.  "I Wanna Be Her Man" became a big hit on Guam and a Chamorro drummer friend Chris Tydingco said alot of the bands on Guam learned the punches exactly as we recorded them on the CD so they could perform the song live.  

Another thing that caught people's attention about this recording was the great snare sound I got on Rod Esteban's drums (some musicians told me that they sampled the snare sound because they liked it so much). This CD was recorded in the original location of Flyin' Hawaiian: a converted family room for the control room and a bathroom with carpeted walls that I converted into a vocal booth.  So I recorded Rod's Kick, Snare, Hihat & Splash cymbal in the control room with the main speakers turned off. We wore headphones to monitor playback and I used two microphones on his kit: an AKG 414 on the Kick and a Shure SM57 on the Snare/HH.  Most of sound comes from the nice sounding piccolo snare Rod used and the drum technique he used to hit it consistently.  The rest was a little EQ from my Trident board to give it some presence and a little digital reverb to create some room ambience.
