I apologize in advance for the mastering. 

It was a very quick set up and recording process.

The Night's Song

Way of the Drum is a globe-walking rhythm record built almost entirely from drums and percussion, with only a few carefully chosen exceptions. Each track drops into a different circle: underground ritual pulses, marching snare on a broken battlefield line, rain-soaked forest grooves, desert caravans, and a towering taiko ceremony at the red gate.

The album moves between intimate and massive spaces—a smoky jazz club where drums and bass trade sparks, metallic found-object rhythms that clang like machinery, and mountain vigils where low drums roll like distant thunder. Melodies stay minimal or absent; the focus is on groove, texture, and how many ways skin, wood and metal can speak. By the closing heartbeat of Last Light on the Rim, the whole record feels like one long, shared initiation into rhythm.
