Mark Zonder
(August 2005 Issue)
West Coast Disconnect "There are several
cool things about the recording of the new Fates Warning
release,
Disconnected," says drummer Mark Zonder. "For me, one of the best
things was being able to record my drum parts
in my own studio. I
practiced a lot for this record, and in doing so I was able to record
my parts in two and a half
days."
Another cool thing that Zonder is excited about is that
drummer Dave Weckl recorded his new record at
Zonder's studio,
Frankie's Hideaway, and was helpful in the recording of Zonder's drums.
"Dave had some
great input on the recording process," Mark says. "He
helped me with ideas about tuning and heads and also let me use some
of
his mic's, which he recommended for certain sounds."
Zonder is also in the process of moving to the East
Coast
after living in Los Angeles for twenty years. "I was really getting
burned out doing the same thing every day in LA," Mark
admits. "I'm
moving to Long Island to try to get a new musical perspective and to
get involved in some new side projects.
My studio in LA basically runs
itself, so I don't need to be here for that. It's time to find some
new
inspiration."
